The President of ARG (Anime Resource Group), the parent company of FanimeCon, made a proposal to me and I thought I would post it and hear what all of you think about it.
Besides E-Gaming, what if we threw a LAN Party?
How popular do you think that idea would be?
If you answered "NO", above, can you tell me why you wouldn't join in?
Craige...
If it's Bring-Your-Own-Box (BYOB), I wouldn't be able to do so (lest my parents slice me a hundred times with a fillet knife, screaming "WHAT ARE YOU DOING THEY'RE GOING TO STEAL OUR COMPUTER!1!")
If there are limited at-party computers, I may take interest, but at the moment, no.
Well i kinda agree with the post above, i think in earlier years they actually did have a LAN party at Fanime where they were playing Quake3 if i remeber correctly(the set up was so drasticly diffrent than mine so i had a hard time playing) if i had to BYOB i would have to have a laptop which i unfortunaly dont have to want to bring my comp from where i live to the Con.
BYOB would probably prove troublesome...I wouldn't mind so much if the b ox was like, strapped down to a table type thing so people can't take our computers at night. lol.
I'lll be busy with other stuff anyways. lol
Yes...but I want to play, not lead it =P
Question: at FanimeCon or a future FanimeCon based event? I do have a few good ideas...
We need a good LAN party out here. There hasnt been a good one in ages in the area at all.
halo lan party :)
(removed per privacy policy)
I'm down to do a LAN party. Is this gonna happen after Fanime?
I'm also down to do the promotional stuff for it too (flyer, website)
Lan party after or before fanime hell ya..
Lan party at fanime hell no..
Usaly only thing I do at lan parties is talk to people, drink and swap fansubs and other stuff on the network.

Same here ^^;;
ya know, this is a tempting idea for the future..../hmm
Sorry it's not a good Idea I really don't want to do tech on some on's computer thats not working if there not patched to the right patch and what not unless you set up a list and here is want you will need to play and want patch
So, any word on when this is happening?
I don't think this will happen
I havent heard anything new about this...
I wont only be there, but I'll corpsehump all my kills thoroughly. But, I cannot bring my own machine.
hell yea on LAN Party!
i'm not embarrassed to bring my VAIO hahahah
i'll stay there all night and play
for security issue
honestly... if there was a LAN party
with tons of other people
they should all be kind enough to sorta watch over their neighbors PCs and what not
All the lan partys I have been too people play until they are tired and take their PC back home/hotel room. That would be fun to have something like this especially if you have a good laptop to play a lot of FPS games. It would be awesome if we all played Doom and Doom II .. hahaha
:twisted:
What exactly is "LAN"?
I would but I probably won't bring my pc to the con.
If its supplied pcs, it depends on what game.
I went to Shadow lan on before school started and i cant belive all the sponsers there0.O. Even though we are there to cosplay, i would love to pwn people up on Unreal 2004 in a kaolla su costume like i did before *cough* (i didn't really pwn, but i can now^^.) if you needed a pc i could loan mine. its a alienware. i need a new sound card though^^.
but yeah! i want a LAN! I want a LAN!!!!!!! i have to keep up my girl gammer status^^.
LAN = Local Area Network it where computers can talk to eatch other and you can play game with other ppl not over the net less ping let ppl ^_^
you bet ill pwn it up at the LAN so will my bf. :o :lol: :lol:
the lan would be sweet but what about if someone has an infected computer?
not to mention but there are games that require internet....any thoughts?
a lan plays game that you can play without the net if you need it you don't play it
then that computer get tost out of the lan lol ^_^
I think it should be like a special event one of the days. It would be just like a regular large scale lan party, eveyone brings in their Pc's/Boxes, then we LAN for several hours, or even half the day, or all ngiht, or something. And when it's over, eveyone packs up their own stuff and takes off. Just like all those ofther big lan events they have around the Silicon Valley. It would be conevintnt for peopel staying in a hotel, or living in San Jose. But yah, it would be nice for those of us who wouldn't need to complicate things or jump hoops in order to bring their gear down.
I'd be up for this idea. Although someone would be required to provide a wireless router + switch (for those without wireless cards)...
I can help organize this LAN with some of the things yuo might need
i got a 8 Port Gigabit wired rounter to help with the LANing thingy
other than equiptment where will it be?
I'm bringing my laptop tehehe~ >=3
Rawr i'll beat all you guys at any FPS, besides battlefield series lol

i was participating in the CS:S tourny
we got immortally rapped by EFG which was our 3rd game but all in all it was fun
sadly i'm not going to be in SHOWDOWN this year since its during my graduation and i'm not going to choose a messly LAN over my highschool graduation >=3
Is this even going to be done at the 2008 fanime convention? I think it would be a sweet idea, only problem is leaving your computer there. I wouldn't trust my computer being left alone over night. I mean i'm down for it but i'll probably end up bringing my computer back to my room before i leave.
usually LAN parties are held at a private home where the participants usually know and semi trust each other enough and also dont have any compatibilities issues.
I used to do this in college all the time, but instead of PC "boxes" most ppl use laptops nowdays.
then again I'm terrible at FPS games (althought quite fun) and I'm trying to kick the habit of MMORPG... theyre worse than crack and anime combined.
But maybe if u guys want to have a house LAN party.
I'd open my house up... um maybe like in the spring?
You guys could always start a thread in the Gatherings Sub section.
could we use the hotel's lan?
Seeing as alot of people are reluctant to bring leave their comps overnight(I don't blame them...I wouldn't want to do it either) we could get a Internet Cafe to set up comps at fanime. Nobody has to bring anything but it would cost a bit of money and take up alot of space...
isnt that what they're doing in the e-gaming room place.
I thought E-gaming was just arcade games and console
Anyways, if you guys are down for a LAN party together, I wouldn't mind busting out my laptop =)
We would have to figure out what games to hold though, some laptops are pretty slow, and some people have macs o_O

E-Gaming is actually more than just that; along with arcade games and console gaming, there are also tabletop games(Magic, D&D, Apples to Apples, etc.), as well as PC gaming for those wanting to get their fix of Warcraft/Battlefield/Quake/Unreal Tournament/etc.
there was alot of unused space last year in E-Gaming, and i hope they put that empty space to good use for 2008.

They do, but people are usually using them and don't have a variety of games to play anyhow.
That sucks...so getting a Internet Cafe to sponsor a LAN party would help. They could provide tons of games and that would knock out the problem of having a LAN party full of PC's/laptops with no matching games. If they wheel in a server we can have like 50 PC's ready to game. I just hope most people won't be playing WoW there...
Ah... I miss LAN parties. I haven't been to one for about 2 years now. They were always really fun.
I don't think I'd bring my desktop now though. The case (Antec P180) is so heavy... but my laptop only has a X1400, so it play Source engine games at best.
I think that would be fun to do..
well for one it is a good way for fanime con staff,head and attendee's to go out and play some fun pc gaming other then fanime and have alot of fun and get to know each other and frag each other..
well craige i hope things are going well for u..nice here from u threw the forms and posting..
As long as someone is providing PCs, i'm all up for it. =) Can't bring my own. :/
Being an ex-operator of a Lan Center I am totally down.
I am not opposed to bringing my rig anywhere.
I am down. Just give me a when and where.
I would love to come, I just started playing WoW actually. :)
