and thank you big noob for not being a poor sport about it all. again thank you...

Ok here’s my final take on Spring LAN, overall it was a huge success in my book. We had zero network, internet, or power issues which is a first for WLP. The first true WLP only console Tournament went off pretty well with a few issues that have been commented about here and sound like they have been resolved. and overall sounds like everyone had a good time and plenty to eat!

PC Tournament issues where just minor, thanks to 3Tek for fixing shit on the fly with his server and attempting to keep us on a steady run with CoD4. I do apologize for it going so slow but hey shit happens at LAN Parties and nothing can be done about it except keeping it flowing as best as possible. We hope to have his box moved to Linux before next event and also make sure every server is a mirror image of each other for tournament play.

Attendance was lacking this event, Winter LAN had 84 attendee’s crammed into the same space a good chunk of them where new faces never seen before and a few of them returned this event! so to those folks plus our regulars thanks for attending another great WLP Event. I agree with everyone else in saying WTF!?!

I am looking over every idea that has been mentioned so far in this thread to improve the event and will look into them. Corrections to the flyer will be made for next event for sure and we hope to do some open play scheduling that works this time.

My personal rant for everyone is please pay attention to ALP! we have this available for people to see the schedule of events, put in your request for the pizza order, hopefully have the MP3 p_layer_ working soon so you can go through my list of 9000+ songs and put a request in, and sign up for tournaments! We are going to return to putting game servers listing in there, they will show what map is running and how many people are playing at that time, not to mention that teamspeak is connected through ALP and you can see who is in there. We have an admin channel you can come ask us questions on if you feel lazy and don’t want to come up to the counter!

Last thing, we as the WLP staff work very hard to put these events on and usually don’t get to much gaming in but, if we are running like we did over the weekend and have the time we will jump into tournaments as a team or go fill in for other teams needing an extra person. Do we see anything for this? NO! When I took over WLP a couple years ago I changed that rule, I thought it was not fair for admins who put on this event to get a crack at prizes. The reason why is we don’t pay entry to our own event and for the most part get to game all night if things are working right. I have had people turn down an admin position because of that rule and I feel like if you think you need a crack at the prizes to host a LAN Party then you are not what we are looking for.

I am still looking to fill out the last of the staff positions I think we need, these are mostly to help out 3Tek and Angel but I am also looking for someone who is good with words and can write up our press releases, newsletters, and front page information for wichitalan.com. So if you have time to dedicate to something and want to improve WLP give us a shout.

good post

I think there were like 20 people registered on ALP, and that was just to sign up for the tournaments.

Drupi, I tried to buzz you on TS about the pizza thing, if it was working or not, but you were busy I guess. No biggie, I understand.

If you need help getting the music going, I can do it for ya. I know ALP and specifically the music feature from setting it up at past LEF LANs before I stopped running them.

Hey Specter if you can make the ALP pull MP3's from a network drive that is what I want to do

hehehe.... been a couple of weeks since i've touched a computer.. but since my friend so eagerly brought this to my attention...

what size was those energy drink cans? 24 oz?

cause if they were i have an idea for the next lan.. sorry angel.. this will hurt
