Me and Jon, as well as Mike and Andrew have the biggest apartments, but Nate and Gray don't pay for electricity. All locations are within walking distance of the others.

Me and Jon will be pre-wired for LANs, and I can't say for the rest.

Vote Now.

The cost for power will be negligable, Jon and I worked out that for 300 people for 2 days would be around 450. So for 20 people for 2 days... quite small.

well i'd like to say our place only that we had what 5 people and we almost ran out of room

but i'm going to vote for us because of the power situation (free)
also will be setup for lan already

[Fallen]Thumperup · Post by **[Fallen]Thumperup** » Fri Aug 20, 2004 10:46 am

also another reason for it is the game servers already setup
and me finally getting my switch back this weekend

although our living room is on 1 circuit so people would have to separate and I don't really want that either

I do think london is a good idea... for this reasion about 6 of us will be living here and about 10 people (gamers not including others who will not play) that I can think of would show up... so london is ideal... but the room is a issue here, but power is not. we do have the servers set up so that is good and setting it up here would not be a problem we can move our chairs and stuff... but there are a few things I am wanting to know before i vote

1) is power a issue for jon, nik, and mike/andrew (power going out blowing fuses max people)

2)is noise a issue for the other places (it may be for nate and gray's place)

3)who is all showing up (does matt h have a computer to play on?? same with the jew.. is bob going to show and will he bring shawn?? is ghost still in london and will he show up)

4)When the hell is the lan.. if we are going to have it on a weekend i need to book it off and if its next weekend i dont even think i can make it...

5)does anyone else at these place have servers or will we have to setup your place for it all?

6)is it for sure not at ghosts barn??

well thats all for now but I want to know what is going on...

We have power and space. However, you would have to pay a small cover (5-10$) for the hydro. The other thing is that we don't have the network. A mini-lan of the londoners sounds great because it sounds like the londoners are the only ones who are gonna be there.

Gather-round children!

We have the space, the network, and you could kill a small chinese family and not get a noise complaint. As for electricity compensation, $1-2 each should be fine.

I highly doubt that I will be able to come, time will be a problem and London is to far to go if I had to work in the morning. Thus I think that I will not vote.

But If I were you, I would not worry so much about power. It's cost is so low that it is almost a non issue. As Thumperup already said, Space and Nosie is the big issue.

I have not seen Neb's new place, so I can't comment on that, But Dempsy's place would be great for 10~15 people.

Good Luck,

P.S. I am with TSB on this last point, When is the damn thing going to be?

Mike's Place = Nik's new Place.

They are identical.

well if power is a non-issue than ding ding we can have it at nik's apartment or mine. However, i am going camping next weekend (28th) so reschedule. I know its a ways off but Gray was saying that the weekend of the 11th would be good for him and it will be good for us too nik, we'll be on days going into nights. Long weekend, sweet

[PX] Nebuchadnezzar · Fri Aug 20, 2004 12:51 pm

sweet...

oh, if it's here, you get free beer! (while supplies last)

[PX]Kal Bob · Post by **[PX]Kal Bob** » Fri Aug 20, 2004 2:04 pm

While at the coffee shop I worked out the cost for 20 computers and 20 Monitors running at Full load for 72 hours.

It works out to $34.02 or $1.70 per person for all 3 days.

It should be noted that these numbers are for Full load. This is reality never happens. If it did your power supply would at best die, at worst brust into flames. The Jew can elaborate more as to why this is the case.

TSB hit the issue for me--more info definitely needed before a yay or nay.

That could sway my vote depending on when the LAN happens.

does matt h have a computer to play on?? same with the jewp

I have one..........but not that I'd bring. Depending on when the LAN is I might have one.

The Jew can elaborate more as to why this is the case.

If this is a serious remark, I guess I could explain it. However, I don't think it is. People wishing to see why power supplies exploding is bad will be give The Power Supply O' Death and told to plug it into their mobo. Then they will realize why it's bad.

I dont really have any time for a LAN in the space before I go back to school. Is the RNDB going on? IF so, I wont be there, but apparently my parents will host it IF $50 for hydro is given (Im sure it can be negotiated depending on the people that show).

[PX]Kal Bob · Post by **[PX]Kal Bob** » Fri Aug 20, 2004 6:13 pm

No, Thanatos does not have a computer.

Actualy Jew, I was refering to why electonics do not run a 100% effeciency. But the Power Supply 'O' Death is a good story to :twisted:
