Whether this is your first LAN or your 10th - they can still be very daunting! All those people - all those computers - what do you do? Where do you go?
With the social side of LANs growing more and more why not actually get out of your seat and make some friends? It really enhances the whole experiance! Have a cold beer at the bar - go for something to eat - a trip to sainsburies/tesco - play some football - the pubquiz. The list is endless! But if you dont know anyone then what do you do?
This is what this forum is designed for. All your questions and queries! Tell us abit about yourself. Where your from - what you do - what games you play!
Think about it - how hard is it to make friends - when you have 1000 people - who like nearly EXACTLY the same things you like! This is to give you a kickstart if your abit shy :)
Remember - if you have a problem at a LAN - the staff are always there - and always willing to help! Just ask!

Game Played Most: Enemy Territory
Why? : Cos it's great and free! Or more to the point I like the class based objective games you get in ET and formerly RTCW.

Been to a Multiplay Lan before? : Yep, i16 was great fun and i19 was blooming cold!

Anything else?

I came to i16 to meet my fellow clan mates for the first time and it was a really good event. We now try and meet up at i events as it's a chance to get together in an environment where we all have something in common.

Upon arrival you are given a pass, a wristband and some label tags for your PC that match the details on your pass. You attach these to your computer and whenever anyone walks in/out of the building with a pc/monitor they have to match the PC Id to the person ID

On top of this you get to know the people on your row fairly well and so anyone coming and lifting your pc/monitor is going to attract their attention, nobody is going to be this dumb to even try this.

What you *do* have to be careful of is small items - CD's, pen drives, keys, phones, cameras etc


these items can go walkies very easily and you need to keep them out of sight at all times when you're not at your desk


stick to that rule and you'll be fine, there's very little theft at i-series

Q. How old do you have to be to go to a LAN. Is there a restriction? Or is it as young as you like?

there is no real minimum age for attending a multiplay lan. we do however ask that you have parental concent if you are under 16. If your parents are worried about you spending 3 days with 800+ raging psychos toting guns then feel free to get them to call the office. :)

you will find many people playing many games. just because your itting in say the BF1942 section doesnt mean you cant join a UT game thats taking place across the room. im sure you will find someone that will be playing a game you liek, if not ask in IRC at the event. :)

Thanks for the information.

My sister goes to these computer LANS and she is 24.

She plays DDR, She won her intermediate competition....

I haven't got IRC but my sister has and I am trying to find it. Can you give me a link to the download please.

I was also wondering if the game "o2jam" which I am quite good at (Best In World U15's) would be allowed to be played at these computer gatherings *AKA LANS*

If A game which I am quite good at is played in LANS I am assuming I am allowed to participate.

Also is registration needed for these LANS.

I have lots of questions and I might as well ask them all at once:

Q1. Is Registration needed for LANS?

Q2. Do you have to bring your own computers.

Q3. How long do LANS last for.

Q4. Does everyone play the same game?

Q5. Can you just play the game without playing/vs. at the LAN?

Q6. Is there a limit to the amount of people allowed to participate in the LANS?

Q7. Do I/Young have to have a PARENT. I know you have already said that it is advisable to bring a PARENT/PARENTS but what would you/the LAN managers classify and accept as a supervisor for me or younger people?

Hopefully you will be able to answer my questions.

:p:

Guigsy
15th January 2005, 22:45
sorry i dont know what o2jam is so cant help there.

Of course your allowed to play a game your good at.

1) yes you need to register on the website so you can log in and pay/book

2) yes unless you are observing

3) 3 maybe 4 days

4) people play whatever game they want. you dont have to play the same game

5) you mean single player? sure... but u can just do that at home...

6) yes. as many as the building can safely hold

7) sorry i dont understand your last question

NxTom
15th January 2005, 23:22
You didn't understnad Q7.

It was meant to mean:

Q7. Instead of bring a parent or Guardian. (e.g. Mum/Dad) Would it be acceptable for my sister to bring me along to these events?
(She is 24)

Guigsy
16th January 2005, 00:11
i see no problem with that

TimmyNoShoes
16th January 2005, 01:10
AFAIk you dont actually need a parent or "babysitter" as long as your parents give consent for you to attend.
Unless things have changed drastically recently.

Elbonio
16th January 2005, 01:33
The best solution is for your parents and/or your sister to ring the Multiplay UK office and have them speak to Craig Fletcher or someone who they can talk to about the event atmosphere.

He will explain what the atmosphere at the event is like, suitability for younger members of the community etc

and if your parents agree and sign your consent form then you're okay to come.

AFAIK under 16's dont *require* a guardian but my hunch is that may be the advice given to your parents, in which case bringing your sister might be a good idea.

The number of the main office is (023) 8024 3137

Game Played Most: Was Battlezone 1-2 ( 8 years or so) Play BF2 mostly now though.

Been to a Multiplay Lan before?: Nope ,Hoping to have some fun

Anything else?: Bringing my Son with me (To Stratlan)and we should have 2 more members of the clan coming too, We don't take gaming too seriously just like to have plenty of laughs, though i got quite good at Battlezone 2 at one stage.

Used to play some ut2004 onslaught as it was a clan game for 18 months or so, i play some fear, tried some farcry, Half life , guild wars, (Don't like WOW but my Son loves it) COD2 though i find the multiplay lacking in that game(Maybe i should explore it more) Doom3, X3 and quake 4 are roughly my current occasional games.

Battlezone 2 still rocks though ;).

As for the ~RIP~ were very multinational, Mostly old buggers, Theyre a great bunch of guys and i've been with the clan several years now.

Me and Sinbad could possibly be the oldest players at Stratlan lol (or is that DOH)

~RIP~Fried
8th March 2006, 19:23
Well weve been gaming together for some time, He's been in ~RIP~ nearly as long as i have (5 years)and we also Snowboard together,

~RIP~Fried
8th March 2006, 23:08
Well stratlan seems like a few people playing games, having a few beers and chilling out, kinda like my friday nights so it should be ok.
Either way im not bothered, i27 just seemed a tad big for my liking.There's always stratford to explore anyhow eh.

Name: Tom aka Gumble

Gaming Name: Gumpster

Age: 18

Clan: Secure Arm Retaliate ([SAR])

Game Played Most: Counter Strike Source
Why? : Because i like playing it, and ive played since December 2004

Been to a Multiplay Lan before? : Nope not yet, but i did go to a GameON LAN in Lonodn at the spare of the moment for my friends/clan leaders. It was a CoD LAN Comp, and my clan got battered but i remember that i took two of the best gamers in the best CoD Gaming clan at the time called TAG. It was an experience as i had only just started playing CoD that day LOL.

Anything else?
Glad there is a sainsbury's in Newbury as i can use my Discount card there :P and also it will be a fun experience at Newbury for my clan, as its really the first LAN with SAR. An experience i might wanna forget considering who we have in our clan LOL. Im a friendly person and someone who will make you laugh!

Thank you and sorry for the Qs

12th March 2007, 11:36
Hey Harry, afaik there has never been a theft from a multiplay event, apart from little things left on desks, CD's, MP3 players etc, and even thats a rare occurence. Security is good, and remember, everyone is bringing their own machine, its a bit like neighbourhood watch.

CS is played, and the iseries is held at newbury racecourse. link www.multiplay.co.uk/i30

hi all.

my name is richie
ususally play as AMIRITE? or scrud
i'm originally from ireland but now i'm studying in carlisle.
i'm 20 years old.
i've been to (and hosted) quite a lot of small lans with just me and my friends there and i've been to mid-lans once (one of the biggest lans in ireland) so i'm not that new to lanning.
i'm new to england though and cos i'm a poor student i'm looking for one or two smaller local lans round about cumbria so i can get to know people before i go traveling to any of the bigger ones that may be around.

i'm only really a casual gamer, i enjoy cs:s and ut2k4, not very good at either though. not in any clans either.
if anyone feels like pointing me towards lans near carlisle it'd be much appreciated.

looking forward to seeing y'all in an i-series lan sometime in the future (maybe 34 or 35)

i believe rules 1, 2, 3 and 6 are that you should never bring your partner... but those are more advise than punishable offences.

Where are you from: Scarborough, UK

When the Seating plan is finalised, look up the clan [HH] and come over and say hi to us all :) we're a bunch of 20-40 somethings who all play COD4 / WoW and pretty much anything else. We'll take you for a beer - thats what fitting in with the British is all about :) I'm sure you'll meet loads of people - it sometimes takes nerves to be the first to say "hi" but when you do, you often find the other guys wanted to say hi too but were too shy!

Hey, I was wondering if anyone could feild a question concerning StratLAN for me, ive PMed some staff who attend StratLAN regularly several days ago but received no responce so I may as well ask here :p

Ok so basically, id was thinking of attending StratLAN in the August dates, but the thing is, i'd dare say id be a fair level younger than most the people there, since i'd only be 14.

Now I know, you might be saying BAHHH NO GO AWAY KID, but to be honest, I built my own computer when i was 11, id consider myself fairly proffient in a number of programming languages etc etc, so im not just some idiotic kid who thinks he's '1337'.

So I know (technical expertice-wise) i'd proberly live up to the standards of the people attending StratLAN, but there is really little point in me attending unless i'd be able to fit in socially with the people there. I'd consider myself fairly mature and can easily hang around with people twice my age, but thats usually only people who know me, so if someone who attends StratLAN could think whether or not they'd be happy to chat with me (as it were) then that might be helpful. :)

Well, it's what you make of it really. The summer stratlans are usually better for socialising because of the BBQ and warm weather etc.

No one's gonna ignore you if you try and chat, you just gotta be confident and be prepared to get involved with what's going on.

Stratlan is less about being a pr0 l33t0r/serious gaming and more about having some fun and having a few beers if you're old enough ;-)

what happens when both you and your partner are avid gamers and also members of the same clan/team? :P

cos me and the 'significant other' are gong together :P (with 11 other members of our clan :P)

Whether this is your first LAN or your 10th - they can still be very daunting! All those people - all those computers - what do you do? Where do you go?
With the social side of LANs growing more and more why not actually get out of your seat and make some friends? It really enhances the whole experiance! Have a cold beer at the bar - go for something to eat - a trip to sainsburies/tesco - play some football - the pubquiz. The list is endless! But if you dont know anyone then what do you do?
This is what this forum is designed for. All your questions and queries! Tell us abit about yourself. Where your from - what you do - what games you play!
Think about it - how hard is it to make friends - when you have 1000 people - who like nearly EXACTLY the same things you like! This is to give you a kickstart if your abit shy :)
Remember - if you have a problem at a LAN - the staff are always there - and always willing to help! Just ask!
Hello

I would love to enjoy the social side of things as well , but for the moment I have no teamt o play with, I have never been to i34 before so had no idea how to register, if you need 1 more player for your team then please please reply via the post reply or via the email at the bottom of the post

My name is karl from dublin ireland,

I have been playing Counter Strike Source for 3 months now and am getting very good, for full stats and info check out my Steam I.D. (with out quotations) "asusa2500d9600" .

The Name comes from my first gaming laptop and its graphics card. I have since moved on to a better system the Dell XPS Gen 2.

When i registered for i-34 I entered a team with out knowing how the compition goes, Basicly long story short I need to find a team that is missing one person and play with them, I am extreemly good with the d3/AU1 semi automatic Sniper Rifle.

I need to be registered with a team by 12:00pm Friday, I will be at i34 at approxamitly 10am on Friday so if anyone is missing a team memeber please get back to me and I would be veey greatfula dn very benificial to your team.

please sent email to kpalarms@gmail.com or reply to this thread

Hi,

First time post and new member, so please go easy on me if I ask some obvious / daft questions !

I've decided to take a look at i34 at Stoneleigh as I've never been to an event of this type, (despite being a thirtysomething gamer who has been playing since the very early eighties). I'm planning on just getting a £10 ticket for tomorrow (Saturday) and am looking forward to seeing a LAN event in the flesh. Obviously, I won't be taking part, but am curious to see the standards of the gamers in attendance, (to see whether they are miles better than my own standard!)

I'm predominantly a PC gamer, but am not a member of any clans and to be honest, am probably not good enough to be - nevertheless, I have been reasonably proficient at a few of the older FPS games like Quake III, UT, Medal of Honor AA and Call of Duty in the past, and have tried CS:S a few times, (although every time I've played CS:S, I've felt a real 'noob' due to my unfamiliarity with the game, the controls and the number of players that are excellent at it!).

I was wondering how all you got started with the whole LAN gaming lark and how you got into clans. I'd like to try one day, but don't really know where to start...the closest I've been to the whole group gaming thing is a regular friday night Halo 3 fest on the Xbox 360 with a group of friends.

Thanks!

Yo...

so i've never been to a LAN before, i was just wondering what it's like, how you get pared for a match etc? I've read some stuff about i35 and couldn't seem to find this (maybe i didn't look that hard...). I was thinking about going with my clan to play css, but was thinking what if i turn up get pared against some rather amazing clan (not that we suck...) get decimated and wonder why we spent £120 each to ge
