Title: FITHLan is back!
Post by: gravdigr on March 09, 2009, 05:39:25 PM: After an almost 2 year hiatus I have gotten many requests to host another LAN in the cemetery. April Begins my busy season so my last opportunity to host a LAN before June would be saturday march 28. I would like to, with fites permission, just use this thread for signup. My limit is about 20 people though I can seat more it just requires renting a few tables. If you are planning on coming please post here whether I have talked to you or not so I can have a list together by the 27th. If you plan on coming please post, if I do not get enough people I will cancel it and 3 people not posting could mean the difference between the lan happening or not happening.

If you have never been to a FITH lan the rules are pretty standard, rule #1 respect other peoples Crap, rule #2 see rule #1. Also I am allowing alcohol at this event as I'm sure I can handle a few drunk geeks if it gets rowdy :box2:. Any minors attending must be accompanied by someone who will be responsible for them and their parents/guardians are to be informed that this is not a daycare so if the minor is not permitted around adults cutting loose they best stay home. And as always there is no door charge but you may want to bring $$ for the inevitable pizza run.

If you have a dedicated game server feel free to bring it. I have long ago sacrificed my old dedicated servers to the spare parts gods. There will be internet service though I know not how effective it will be as I will be testing out using my wireless router and bridging it into the LAN so speeds may not be blazing fast so watch the torrenting.

Also if you have never been here you can mapquest/google/whatever 851 Jefferson Ave. Tyrone, PA 16686. If you wish you can also PM me and get my cell # and I can talk you in once you get into town.

I'm looking forward to some old school serious sam co-op and enemey territory.

The first time Agent and I went up there I thought we were lost, little did we know we were literally right outside the building. Digr stepped out the door and waved while I was on the phone with him LOL

Title: Re: FITHLan is back!
Post by: Mr.Tibbs on March 11, 2009, 04:27:15 PM: 2 and a half hour drive. That is my issue.
Title: Re: FITHLan is back!
Post by: sully! on March 11, 2009, 05:00:18 PM: Agent and I went up twice in my POS car. You have a new(ish) car that you should have no trouble getting there with. 2 1/2 hours is not that far.
Title: Re: FITHLan is back!
Post by: _!Rathe!_ on March 11, 2009, 05:13:24 PM: 2 and 1/2 hours isn't that bad considering I drive 3 hours each way to go to a FITES Lan. Then again Tibs had enough problems driving 20 minutes to go to LANs.
Title: Re: FITHLan is back!
Post by: Mr.Tibbs on March 11, 2009, 06:19:47 PM: Well speaking of POS cars. I sold the Cavalier this evening. And made $800 on it.

Post by: gravdigr on March 11, 2009, 09:12:33 PM: See if any other fites guys are coming. Maybe you can carpool out. I'm sure there will be some beer left in the keg I got for a party this saturday. Little added incentive? =o)
Title: Re: FITHLan is back!
Post by: Loqiel on March 11, 2009, 10:29:31 PM: Kind of on the fence digr, that's like a four-and-a-half hour drive for me. On the other hand, I relish the chance to light another spool of cable on fire...
Title: Re: FITHLan is back!
Post by: gravdigr on March 13, 2009, 08:44:31 PM: Well the wife gave me the go ahead to upgrade our internet from the measly 3Mb down 768Kb up dsl to a comcast cable package with 16Mb down 2Mb up so we may be able to open up our lan servers to the internet and have some folks that couldn't come join the festivities online.
Title: Re: FITHLan is back!
Post by: _!Rathe!_ on March 23, 2009, 05:38:40 PM: So what is the final count of people who are going to attend? So far I see we have:

1. Gravdigr
2. Rathe
3. h4gg4rd
4. jdbaron25

Do we know if FnDragon and Zerial have heard about this? With Hawx coming out I figured Zerial would want some good competition.

Post by: h4gg4rd on March 23, 2009, 08:55:21 PM: I am gonna have to pass on this event, it took a lot more than I thought to repair my car. I need money badly so I will be working all weekend to pay bills on time. I will definitely be at the next one if you have one in the summer sometime. I am sorry Dig.

Post by: Mr.Tibbs on March 23, 2009, 10:23:03 PM: That Grand Prix giving you hell?
Title: Re: FITHLan is back!
Post by: gravdigr on March 24, 2009, 02:05:34 AM: He broke it. I have 3 or 4 guys coming from my iO clan. I also need to stop by radio shack and let that guy know. Last I talked to him he was very interested in attending one of my LANs since he used to lan game pretty hard with counterstrike.

Dragon and zerial will probably show up, they never actually confirm if they are coming or not, they just show up lol.

Post by: gravdigr on March 27, 2009, 09:37:14 PM: Well everything is set up, thanks to Rathe for helping as I had a pretty rough day and was dead tired (no pun intended). Looking forward to tomorrow.
