The first annual XTREME LAN Link

[GodKid]

k guys.. I hope the admins don't mind me starting a thread just to tell y'all about the developments of this LAN party my cmpany's planning.


Here's the lo-down

Competition Games:
Counter-Strike, Unreal Tournament, and Command-and Conquer

Side Games (PC):
Day of Defeat, Starcraft

Side Games (PS2):
Dance Dance Revolution*, some fighting game*, and some other stuff

Attractions:
the one in the works so far is a 3-wall "cave" - a cave is a HUGE vid screen

Updates:
There'll be a website set up where registered players info will be shown, including whether or not they're using their own box, as well as their stats and rank for the tourney. There'll also be some cool art and freebies.

Play rules:
UT - 1 on 1 (there'll be some melee type stuff for fun)
CS - 5 man max teams
C&C - working on it

Play plan:
1 - registration via website or our offices (cost is looking like 1500 - 2000)
2 - play as much as you like during a 1 month period
3 - end of this period the top ten are taken and guaranteed a slot in the playoffs
4 - one fri/sat. is dedicated for getting the 15 available wildcard slots - play on that day is at a cost..(not sure how much but more than reg. fee)
5 - next day or next week is playoffs.. one day long marathon.. winner takes most.. other two come out with something too

Plus:
We're trying to get all participating cybercentres LEGAL copies for ALL machines..

Rewards:
We're still working on it.. but like I said.. don't be surpised if you see at least 1 brand new Alienware Area-51 box (you can oogle at it at www.alienware.com), a trip for the top 3 Unreallers and hopefully the top 1 Counter team to the US and entrance into a major tourney


All I'll say is.. GAme ON!!!! -- -- well not just yet :-[...but soon ;D

I am in....uuhh

Yup Ready to go

[Ropy]

Where and when will it be held??? ;D

[GodKid]

right now the venue is Hilton... not sure if that will remain tho...
date... august time


I'd appreciate if word could be spread from now... as that will allow me to leverage some more support from sponsors...

[GodKid]

G.A.TT - Gamers' Association of Trinidad and Tobago is now interested and looking to come onboard.... let's see how many of y'all hold your own against int'l guns!


MP5 Navy 4 LIFE!!!

CTs RULE!

[Ropy]

I would sure love to kick some Trin... buts... ;D

[Baego]

I'd like to see you try Ropy.

lol

Good show guys, this should be one helluva an event.

GATT could perhaps run parralel prelims in Trinidad leading up to the finals in Hilton.

Or maybe if we go extreme tech, actually hooking up some events via DSL with administration judging from both sides to make sure fair play is adhered too?

How feasable/reliable is the broadband services across there?

We have one of our GLs running DSL and the other two running Cable. We can use the DSL based one for such an attempt.

First stop the Caribbean, next...the world!!

[GodKid]

good to see you posting Baego....

but we'll see who comes out on top.. heck we could do a TT vs. JA showdown... top 5 from each island makes up a team....

On the DSL thing.. we'll be hosting a webserver/gamserver for each game via DSL ... when we have it set up registered users will get the IP's


newest update -

DigiSolve is about to acquire the parts for its first gameserver (there'll be about 2 or 3 depending on how many games we'll be playing)

Specs on XLL-1 (CStrike Box)

1G PC2700 DDR SDRAM
40GB 7200rpm HD
Athlon 2400+
XP Pro
Matrox quad display vid card
DigiSolve customized case - when u see it you'll believe it

cost? - under US 1G (vid card alone is about half the cost)

XLL-2 (C&C/Starcraft Box) is to come ....

[Nastrodamus]

First stop the Caribbean, next...the world!!

hhhmmmm......First I beat up some Trini's then rule the world.

Thats a nice thought.

Nahhh

Well it would give me a lot of bragging rights..


A Trini vs Ja Unreal match definetely sounds good. We definetely need to organise this event.
