2/17 LAN Plans

• Gallahad: Can we use the projectors for the XBoxes and DDR? (Evan)
• Gallahad: Can we open another lab if we run out of space? (Evan)
• Student Activities: Can we borrow a stamp or wrist bands? (Evan)
  • They do not have either. — keyand57 2006/02/15 16:00
• Student Activities: Do they have a lock box for the fundrasing? (Evan)
  • The closest that they have is a cash drawer. — keyand57 2006/02/15 16:00
• Police: Can they leave the side door and main door open?

• Four computer games playable in any of the three computer rooms (Enemy Territory, CounterStrike, Unreal Tournament 2004, and Starcraft)
  • This creates the potential for a 50 player CS match.
    • What is the max players for CS?
• Dance Dance Revolution in the middle room.
• Halo on networked XBoxes using the projectors as screens.
• Statistics on Enemy Territory and Unreal Tournament 2004
• Soda at $0.50 a can and pizza at $1.25 a slice.

• Beat the 63 person head count from the previous LAN Party.

• Soda will be sold at $0.50 a can, provided we can find it that cheap at Giant or Wegmans, and will need to be placed in a cooler full of ice.
  • Wegmans has Coke products as three 12-packs for $10 ($0.28 a can) and W Cola as two 12-packs for $5 ($0.21 a can).
• Pizza will be sold at $1.25 a slice. Dominos will charge us $25 for 5 pizzas with 8 slices in each. That will give us a profit of $5 per pizza before tax and tip.
• While the soda will be availble immediately, the pizza will be purchased as needed.
• If we anticipate needing change, we can hit up the change machine in the BCC before the event.

Perhaps we should bump it up to $1.50 a slice if we have to consider tax and tip. — daneva76 2006/02/11 13:29

See if we can strike a deal with a pizza place for a lower price if we order say 10 pizzas or more.

If we do end up ordering extra, we can always sell that to those who didn’t preorder. — keyand57

If people are going to prepay, how will we record this? — keyand57

• Andrew has created a form for signing people in available here.
  • The form will be loaded on a laptop computer that Andrew will monitor. This gives us one extra seat in the labs as Andrew will have to use his own laptop.
  • We’ll need to find a laptop for the sign in form to be run on. If we cannot borrow one, we can use mine.
• Ryan is working on an AUP, available here, for the event that participants will agree to when they sign in.
  • This document will have to be approved by Gallahad Mallery and Ron Miller.
• We’ll need either a hand stamp or bracelets to keep track of who has signed in and who hasn’t.
• The table will be placed by the door to the middle room so that it’s relatively centered within the event.

• Middle room (215)
• Blake has confirmed that he will bring DDR, but he will have to leave a few hours early.

• http://db.gamefaqs.com/console/xbox/file/xbox_system_link.txt
• Played in E206, E207, and E208 on the projector.
• Networked together using Evan’s router and someone’s long cable.
• Chairs from the middle room.

Might have a safety issue with cables in the hallway. Maybe general services has those plastic humps that you put over floor run cables.

Tape. — daneva76 2006/02/11 15:16

The plastic humps that general services has is overkill for one or two cat5 cables. — keyand57 2006/02/11 15:30

• Ryan will provide the install for anyone who wants to play.
• Only playable in a single room. (E208)
• 4 people have emailed me saying they were willing to play if the Broodwars expansion is used. Ryan is going to look into this.

• Ryan is taking care of setting the ET server up so that most changes are done through the vote system.
  • We need the following changes:
    • !warn enabled.
    • vote_allow_poll enabled for votes on uncommon things (panzer party).
• Starting room - E208

• We’re looking for someone to set up the CS server on a PCLUG account so that the game can be played from any room.
• ATHS E206

• Andrew is modifying the server based on the suggestions received from the last LAN.
• Starting room - E206 or 7? — keyand57

Advertising must be done quickly as we only have a week before the LAN Party. It should also occur at the event.

• Dorm Storming (Friday only)
• 3 Whiteboards and Eazels (Wednesday, Thursday, Friday)
  • with LAN Party “cards” (paper cut to the right size)
• College Radio Announcement
• PCToday (TBD)
• Flyer ATHS Hallways (Thursday)
