What to Bring to the LAN Party!  Reply with quote  

Just wanted to kick off this LAN Party right by making sure everyone was up on what they should bring and can optionally bring as well.

Make sure your computer is working properly and is loaded with the games and latest patches that you plan to play, and that you have a working network card. Windows, Linux and MacOS platforms are supported.

If you have an OKGG badge, wear it. It's a good idea to keep it in your LAN bag or box. If you don't have one, they will be available at the party. But remember to bring it back each time you come. It helps new players to meet you and know who you are.

Bring a surge strip if you plan to plug in more than two power cords.

HEADPHONES!!!!

A comfy chair or seat cusion is also nice to bring.

It's a good idea to bring snacks and a drink or two, we have a water jug available, but you'll need your own cup. Dinner and drinks don't start until around 6pm. NO ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES PLEASE! Bawls or Sun Drop is good though strichauge

Speakers are OK, but remember to use headphones for gaming and only use speakers when necessary, preferrably during "lights on" breaks. Be respectful of others by keeping the volume down.

One computer and monitor per paying player. If you bring two, you pay for two, etc.

Drinks in small ice chests are fine, but must remain on the floor under your table area.

If you have a digtal camera/camcorder, bring it, and remember to share your photos and short movie clips by uploading them to our server before you leave! We'll post them for all to access.


And just a few other items to note:

Support the developers who write and design your games OS, and other software by PURCHASING them. The OKGG does not condone software piracy and if detected, you will be asked to leave.

Keep your emotions under controll! No banging on the tables in disgust when playing. DON'T DO IT. It distracts and annoys other players and CAN damage systems and tables. Vibration bad....

DO respect the building tables, chairs, and OKGG's property. Keep your area clean and pick up your trash when you leave. Wipe up all spills promptly. Don't sit on the tables.

Also remember that we must get 3 players per table so you get 1/3 of a table max!

Oh yeah, bring your signed waiver form too!

ggkthx

Clean Up After Yourself  Reply with quote  

When you leave the LAN Party, PLEASE throw away ALL trash, cans, bottles, paper, etc. If you spill something, PLEASE clean it up.

The staff gets to the party at 8:30 and sets up all the tables, chairs, and cables. When it's over at midnight, the staff has to put away all the tables, chairs and cables and load up. So PLEASE do your part so that we don't have to spend extra time cleaning up at the end of the night.

We really do appreciate it!

Bring it. The I wasn't there for the mall, but they do remind me much of the chairs I had in high school in that they are uncomfortable and flimsy.

I've been very glad I've brought mine both times I've attended.

What will I do if you guys play a game I don't have? It can get expensive trying to have everygame that could possibly be played. Smile

In general we rarely all play the same game at the same time. If you don't have what somebody is wanting to play, suggest something else. You'll probably find some people to play with.

What if I'm the size of 2 men and take up most of the floor area around the table? Do I have to pay extra?

You resurrected a really old thread. Go to the main page by clicking the logo, then you will see a different set of links at the top of the page. One of those links tells you all about where, how and when.

So I shouldn't bother bringing a chair?

Dan, how many do you think we could fit in your lap?
