Is the xmas slan always this fast to sell?

[bright_]

Is the xmas slan always this fast to sell?

yep

[Ryvita]

Seems to have spiked over the weekend. And hey, with me fanning the flames of panic buying in the finest traditions of tabloid journalism, it might even sell out soon. :p

Ryv

[Ruth]

Oh, okay. Thanks for that one word answer. I was expecting a bit more than that, but nevermind.

Why is it so popular? I've never been to an xmas one you see.

[RocketKnight]

Wizzo dresses as Santa and you get to sit on his lap. ;)

[bright_]

Well with all the hype you might be disappointed..... Thats the trouble with hype, it raises your expectations to such a level come the event you never achieve them....

HELL, its Stratlan Xmas, there is a full compliment of Beanz going :awesome:, do you need any more reasons? :>:

The social atmosphere is very good at an xmas slan :D

[Crea]

What I want to know is how much did Wizzo have to pay Ryv to make him create this thread. :p

[Killy]

I'm sensing an Afty joke in there somewhere.....

[her0n]

[Baroness]

Oooh I'm there! For illegal rave purposes, obviously. (Don't let me down...)

[gemini]

[Gumpster]

Oh, okay. Thanks for that one word answer. I was expecting a bit more than that, but nevermind.

Why is it so popular? I've never been to an xmas one you see.

Probably because its just packed with fun, and lots of games of Yeehaa!!!!!!!!

Oh and Bomber man ;)

[Baroness]

God, Yeehaa. Had forgotten all about that. Haven't played it in ages. Probably a reason for that.

[Ruth]

My reason for not playing Yeehaa is the CERTAIN DEATH that follows when i play it :)

I'll assume your reason is along those lines, haha :)

[Baroness]

Affirmative.

[10acious]

I miss 'old skool' yeehaa where there was a very real threat of death. Just trying to survive the longest, used to take you somewhere in the vicinity of around 8am with about 4 people playing it in a very tight, very drunk circle. The scenes of carnage littered around the last few participants would include, but not be limited to, spills, bodies and bodily fluids.

Happier times.....

[βДĐĜĘŘ©]

<Dumb> where is slan?

[her0n]

Stratford Upon Avon, Warwickshire

This happened fairly recently at one of the slans, was fun watching people gib horribly and then watching Craig mop vom off the roof (the person shall remain nameless :D)

[Semajal]

i only JUST got a seat :O Somehow missed signups opening for it but made it still. Looking foward to it :D

[10acious]

watching Craig mop vom off the roof

Vom on the roof ?????

That is mighty impressive.

The last SLAN is the only one I've missed recently, and it appears there was a resurgence of all nighter mentality of old. You bastards!

[tucool]

Is there ANY chance of ticket becoming avaliable?

[Afty]

This happened fairly recently at one of the slans, was fun watching people gib horribly and then watching Craig mop vom off the roof (the person shall remain nameless :D)The roof? Holy crap that's impressive. I hope that person has bought Craig a beer back. Or, if he's neglected to do so, so far, I hope he sorts it soon!

[gemini]

Is there ANY chance of ticket becoming avaliable?

There could well be a waiting list so you get a space if someone else cancels. I'm not sure how it works but there definatly is a waiting list that will go into operation soon.

[Baroness]

Isn't there still one space?

[Killy]

The roof? Holy crap that's impressive. I hope that person has bought Craig a beer back. Or, if he's neglected to do so, so far, I hope he sorts it soon!

I'm still trying to guess whether that's sarcasm or not... I hate the internet.

[her0n]

Isn't there still one space?

No, it's full. 94 booked but 1 person hasn't seated themselves yet, because they suck :):

[10acious]

I'm still trying to guess whether that's sarcasm or not... I hate the internet.

VOMIT ON THE ROOF IS IMPRESSIVE!!!!!!

[Killy]

That part wasn't the sarcasm I was talking about :p:

[Jingles]

My goodness!

Im excited and its still a whole month away!

:eek:

That post is just asking for trouble... :awesome:

[Ruth]

Is it? :angel2:

:ssh:

I was Semi Finalist at StratLAN Xmas 2006 :D

[Boffykins]

10 is referring to old skool like FISSC era, around 2002/2003 I'd guess. Those games were epic.

[Ruth]

Yeah, i was in fissc when my yeehaa death occured, and ive never played since. Just cant face it again.

[Wizzo]

We are looking to open up more seats by using the side room where we used to do drink sales from. Probably room for 10-15 people in there, but will get some firm measurements before announcing the new spaces.

[Ruth]

Wow, exciting announcement from the boss there!

Gosh, imagine the size of the rave on Friday, if there were to be over 110 ppl this time round.

Im excited!

[SystemId]

Excellent idea Wizzo. Any announcement on whether you'll still be selling snacks, or any news on the new bar?

[Wizzo]

There won't be any snack sales as it's just too much hassle for a StratLAN. The bar however will be well stocked with "social lubricant" :)

[Gunsmith]

ahh, excellent

[Wizzo]

Yes I hope you do soon afty too :p

[Aardvark]

Please say also soft drinks :shobon:

[Wizzo]

We stopped the snack and drinks bar at StratLAN some time ago, or are you talking about soft drinks at the bar Aardvark?

[Baroness]

What are "soft drinks"???

Bring on the social lubricant.

[10acious]

rum and coke
vodka and red bull
gin and tonic

Surely the soft drinks are the lubricant ?

[Screwball]

i fail really wanted to go to this!

[Aardvark]

We stopped the snack and drinks bar at StratLAN some time ago, or are you talking about soft drinks at the bar Aardvark?
At the bar yes. I know its illogical but sometimes alcohol is not the answer :p

(Also 'some time ago' is 'the last stratlan' as I could swear I was buying red bull in May)

[SystemId]

What are "soft drinks"???

Bring on the social lubricant.

We are referring to alcohol, right?

Wizzo: We've been given a taste of Kwari blood and we like it, anything similar in mind for this oh-so-sacred of lans?

Will Lan-Santa be making an appearance to dish out free beer, CPUs, video cards and mice wont he? :(

[Aardvark]

Will Lan-Santa be making an appearance

You mean SLANTA :D:

[winbar]

soft???? drinks???

I don't get it?

[Boffykins]

Soft drinks are things like Reef, surely? But GeeDee isn't coming so there's no need for them.








;D

[Killy]

You mean SLANTA :D:

OUT! GET OUT!

[Baroness]

Does Green S**t ever make an appearance at lans any more? <reminisce>

[Killy]

I think after me and Limi had a certain deathpact at a certain Stafflan a while ago I'm never touching the stuff again :p:

[Aardvark]

I think after me and Limi had a certain deathpact at a certain Stafflan a while ago I'm never touching the stuff again :p:

I presume you mean 'I shall be doing this again at xmas slan bring it on', correct? :D:

[Killy]

I'll tell you what, if you get Limi to agree to another deathpact then I'll agree :p:

[Lucifa]

We drink until someone dies

We almost lost dear Bootz that day.

[Vikx]

I'll tell you what, if you get Limi to agree to another deathpact then I'll agree :p:

il work on it......

[Cen0bitE]

At the bar yes. I know its illogical but sometimes alcohol is not the answer :p

(Also 'some time ago' is 'the last stratlan' as I could swear I was buying red bull in May)

idd i recall purchasing some pringles and a pot noodle!

[Quietus]

il work on it......

Please do not join the death pact. DO NOT WANT.

[Disco_Stu]

We almost lost dear Bootz that day.

She isnt even coming this time is she? SO MUCH FAIL!

Also Baroness if green s**t isnt provided i'll bring a stock of it myself. Always up for some green s**t :awesome:

[Wizzo]

I'm about to release 2 seats for the LAN, due to a couple of cancellations. GO GO GO :)

[Cen0bitE]
