Swiftspear
kings way in new west... I could probably make it. I'll just have to make sure nothing is going on on the 19th, get back to you soon...
Kazbar
I AM EXCITED NOW! ARE YOU? asrifle.gif pudgy.gif
Faust
Note to swiftspear and all others: Proposed date of lan is on March. 26.
I have to know who/how many people are going by march 18th, and call the internet cafe owner the next to let him know.

Another note: Could we all try to bring headphones? this would significantly cut down on the noise factor? That, and i'm sure if you bring headphones, the sound quality is definitly going to be above par compared to what is provided at an internet cafe anyway.


*groan* I am currently groveling with my management to get the 26th off, I thought I would be in the clear, but then i'm told others have booked that day off already. sad-fix.gif

I'll definitly let you guys know whats going on by the 18th.
Kazbar
**Writing March 26th on my calender**

Ok, everything sounds good.

if you tell us where you live maybe someone can offer you a ride
Kazbar
So how many people are 100% SURE they are able to come?
ReK
I count 7 yes's and 4 maybe's, including the "too far to go" guy as a maybe, incase we can work something out.
kill4thrills
my friend ray has confirmed, but he cannot stay for the whole day, probably only a few hours. can he just pay hourly rates? or does he have to pay the $15 in advance?
ReK
Sigh, my friend just realized he spoke too soon. He's out...

6 yes (+1 partial day)
Kazbar
I have some friends that could come. Dictator! might come (was talking to him today)
Florp_Incarnate
If we don't get enough we could always invade a pub.

I emailed the lan shop owner. This was my response:

QUOTE
For your friend, instead of $3/hr, he can choose the following rates:

$6 for 3 hours
$10 for half-day

Since he's the only one doing this (thus easy for us to keep track), he can start with $6 for 3 hours, then if he can stay longer, throw in another $4 to extend it to half a day.
ReK
Well I'll be the ****....

My parents decided to spring on me this morning the fact that we're hosting easter dinner on the 26th, even though they had cleared that date with me last week... Needless to say, I have no choice but to back out.

Sigh...

Bring me back some good stories.
kill4thrills
i'll pm everyone again tonight... hopefully some more will commit to coming
Kazbar
do we want to re-schedule to another date if there is so little people going, i dont really care because ill go anyday
Faust
Honestly people, I had the same thoughts in mind, espically since there is a good chance that I will have to work on the proposed saturday.

How does everyone feel about a date change?

I propose the saturday after, which is April 2nd. Does this still fall under 'spring break' for those who go to post-secondary instituions?
kill4thrills
i think april is like a few days before finals for people in post-secondary. with finals usually worth 60-90% of your term grade, i don't think people will want to play NS then...
Kazbar
When are post-secondary tests. We dont have to have it during spring break.
kill4thrills
pretty much the whole month of april
modie
yes I'll be there - whichever one is decided on...
Faust
ok, so I found out today that I did indeed get the 26th off. I can go.

In retrospect, essentially only 6 people can make. This wont be very fun with this turn out.

I get the decision is mutual to cancel this lan on the 26th?

Is April 2nd ok? or should we wait till people are finished with their finals? (I presume sometime in may?)

I know I would be ok for this date.

Florp Inarnate, who attends SFU, said that it isnt the best time, but he would be there for that date.
Faust
No one replied, so I assumed we were not going on the 26th. I notifed the lan shop owner.

This was my response:

QUOTE
Thank you for the update on the situation. Mar 26th is the last weekend where our saturday is available for a lan party. Subsequent saturdays will be more difficult to book since it becomes busier as it gets closer to summer.

We can still do it but it will have to be Sundays (all day) or Fridays (from after school till closing, depends on people's school schedule).

Please let me know the new date you guys decide to have the lan party and we'll see if we can accomodate.


Looks like saturdays are now out of the question sad-fix.gif
kill4thrills
i've told my friend this has been cancelled. let's try to reschedule this for sometime in may, on a sunday as suggested? and in another thread? this one is way too cluttered. how does may 15 sound to everyone? may 8 is mother's day, and i for one actually have to spend time with my mother, and grandmother
NeonSpyder
erk, i didn't notice this Thread had turned into something actually happening, and i missed your guys's PMs, i would still love to go if i can.
Faust
Ahh... sundays are D&D day, and the other problem with sundays is that I have to work monday sad-fix.gif

Well, if we can plan it out that advanced, then it shouldn't be a problem cancelling D&D, and request a day shift at work for monday.
Grendel
Whatever happened to the FoR lan?
Faust
FoR Lan? I am quite unsure of what you are talking about. Are you sure your in the right thread?


Ok People!

How does may 15th sound for lan goodness!?
Kazbar
sounds good for me
Florp_Incarnate
That's pretty far in the future but I'll commit and try to make it.
ReK
I'll see if I can. Is that a friday?
Faust
It is a Sunday. 13th is a friday.

Which day would best for us?

Sunday's are better because I have this as a guaranteed day off work.

If fridays are better for everyone, then I will see if I can get the 13th off...
kill4thrills
the lan owner says that in summer only sundays would be reservable, so unless everyone intends to arrive ON TIME, we better stick to sundays. any weekend day is fine for me. i can make anytime anywhere, and can probably bring 1 friend. if everyone is ok with 15th as a date, lets start a new thread as this one is too cluttered with plans that went nowhere
Florp_Incarnate
15th of what? I have exams right after that time if you are talking about this month.
Faust
May 15th Florp.


Yea/Nea Everyone?
Kazbar
ill be there
Kazbar
not much talk
Faust
If you wish kazbar, you could PM every person that has posted in this topic, and ask them if they can make it on may 15th.

I apologize, but I am very busy at work, and my time off is tiring.sad-fix.gif
ReK
I might be able to come, but it depend on a few thing that are out of my control.
Kazbar
Iv been busy also, ill pm some people, but could someone get in touch with the owner of the place we are going. Im going to pm everyone who has posted in the forum and maybe this will get this topic active again
naga_nootch
Interesting....This is the first time I have ever been on to these forums and whose name should be on the top of the page? Kazbar's oddly enough...Hello Kazbar how are you?

You don't know me (Or, do you?) =D

I dont believe i know you. (or do i......?)
naga_nootch
Gee and I thought that would have been obvious. Oh well I guess we all can't be as smart as I am.....I'll be on Kustom later (And if that doesn't give it away I oughta pop you)
Kazbar
naga nootch do you live in a the vancouver area? if you do you could come to the lan party
naga_nootch
No, I live near a certain squirrel in the mid America-ish area and my ping is bad enough here. I just saw your post and had to bother you. Well I'm leaving for now.

Kazbar
ok.. moving on.. Does anyone in Vancouver still want a LAN party
ReK
I want it, but I can't make it for the 15th.

Seeing as to how long we planned the first one for, and that it failed, I think we should set a date rather far away, maybe during the summer. That will give everyone plenty of notice and allow us to spread the word so more people can come.
Kazbar
Anyone have any ideas for a date?confused-fix.gifconfused-fix.gif??
ReK
I think, for most people at least, the best day would obviously be a saturday. So, how about late-june? Say last or second-to-last saturday of the month.
Kazbar
Both are good for me
