Title: It's LAN time...!
Post by: Arseynimz on July 16, 2014, 10:30:33 am

Hey all,

So in the background of this fair site, we've been working away. It may look like a static site of just a forum, but changes and implementations are afoot, and we're trying our best to re-establish thew gaming communities in NZ with a home they can all congregate to - as big of a task as that may seem.

As a reminder, the 5 directors of Get Some Ltd are myself, Craigor, DV, osiRiS, and prolax, and we've all worked together for a decent amount of time to know how each other works, what our strengths are, and what our crossover is. I mainly look after the general project dealings, Craigor & DV look after all the servers hardware & base set ups, as well as the web sites, prolax does all the design and prettiness, as well as the site look and feel, and osiRiS makes sure the forums, and game servers are sorted.

I'm really pleased to finally be able to say that we're working alongside Digital NatioNZ (http://www.digitalnationz.com) and in conjunction with the September 28 and 29 expo we'll be hosting a LAN. This will be a combination of a pro competitive event, and a full social set up and will be at Vector Arena, overlooking the Digital NatioNZ and Gadget, Gizmos & Technology Show.

This has been announced today, and given the weekend just gone would have marked the typical time that we would have seen a major LAN event, it's party time for sure. We're really pleased to be able to be involved, and hopefully be ready to bring some gaming awesome back to these shores in a fully competitive event alongside a social atmosphere, but just as importantly, inside a fully tricked out expo! It's been three years since we ran our last event, and this next one is the revival of good things to come.


So, what next!?
Tickets for the show will be available next month, and although this is quite late in the piece for the LAN event, we're working on our side of things for registration and the likes to ensure we know who's going to come, and what games will be getting the most support.

We're hoping to update the site at the end of the month with some changes including a few customised bits & pieces. We hope you'll support both these changes, and the upcoming event which is only 10 weeks away, and will be all sorts of amazing at the same time.

Questions!?

Will probably head up from welly, so we can bunk together on a single mattress and conserve body heat.

As for games, I'd like:
- Battlefield 4
- Heroes of the Storm
- Hearthstone
- Starcraft 2
- Grid - or another aweseomesauce driving game. Trackmania?
- A fighting game of some description

I have a question for all - we're obviously going to have a competitive element, and also (as any LAN event should) a social element also. What games would those who'd play the competitive side like to compete in or watch? Obviously we have a list, I just want to cross check to see if any others come in to consideration!

Digital Nations/Getsome Minecraft UHC PVP event would be awesome! Easy to set up with UHCbox as well (Its a block of command blocks that turns a normal world in a Ultra Hardcore PVP world. Just google UHCbox)

1.8 minecraft has shrinking border mechanics as well, so you start with a 1000x1000 world, then the borders shrink over 2-3 hours or so into a 150x150, then who ever is left dukes it out.

It seriously is alot of fun :)
Title: Re: It's LAN time...!
Post by: DarkVirus on July 21, 2014, 03:18:05 pm
That does look like alot of fun.

Only problem is having an admin to start the match or it would be fun to have a public server.

Im sure nimmo will see if this is popular and looking at the tech specs its pretty easy to configure.

Now that half the country is on unlimited again.. Does anyone know of any DC++ hubs?

Down here you have OhSnap, cos free snap-to-snap, and the various associated UC hubs like CantHub, AnotherHub etc, but haven't seen any proper public hubs.

If not maybe GetSome should host one :-)

I would like the honour of buying oddball his pass. He seems like a cool dude, and should have some time out of the hospital and out with the normals.


Unrelated: How would I go about booking someone in for a 1 hour stage slot? All we'd need is a mic and a set of chains to keep him there.

Hey all,


Questions!?


Sir Arsey i have a couple:

1. What are the entry fees
2. Will spectators  be allowed? If so will there be an entry fee
3. If you now smoke ecigarrettes as in vaping does it mean I still have to fuck off outside?

A heads up for you all - the announcement will come this week, and we'll have the sign ups for the LAN here, but ticketing will need to be purchased on the chosen Digi NatioNZ website. You don't have to play competitive, but we will have a competitive portion. The on downside that I don't think can be worked through is the overnight closure of the event - that is we'll likely be going through to midnight, and then open again in the morning.

Rii, just make the trip up for a day, and roll in babes. You know you want that Arseynimz loving.

1. To be confirmed, hopefully around the $70-$90 mark, but obviously I'm trying to convince them to make this as cheap as possible.
2. Yes, however, they will need to pay to go to Digital NatioNZ which will be pretty cheap.
3. I'm sure we can work out something for you Tish ;)

Can we drink at our desks and will there be a poopsock receptacle?
Yes, as long as it's not obvious what you're drinking ;)

Vector is providing both day time and overnight security. In addition we will have a crew on site to assist with PC security.

I kinda like the DN site, but I'm not a designer fusspot TBH. Just ask prolax, he will probably have extensive tales on how many times he's facepalmed at my requests or thoughts on how sites should look. ;)

And if possible, to have the top nag bar fixed.
Title: Re: It's LAN time...!

It would also be nice to know what needed fixing - in the 'nag bar'

The background also is a texture, get some glasses nana.
Title: Re: It's LAN time...!
Post by: Retardobot on August 14, 2014, 03:55:09 pm
Not fixing as in broke, but fix, as in position. So it over hangs content when scrolling. So it stays put like a good little nav bar.

Also, that texture is only just noticeable. I was thinking like repeating symbols like joysticks, controller pads, console boxes, PC's, dildos.

EDIT: STOP FUCKING AUTO CORRECTING ME YOU STUPID MAC. I DO NOT WANT TO SPELL NAG.
