Box O Win Partitions

[ChevalierTialys]

This is mainly aimed towards the admins and all of the MPUK staff.

At i34 would we be able to use desk partitions in order to create that box-y feeling that we all know and love???

[eCK|DiCe]

yer will there be any sort of box facilities?

[Reaper]

eCK reppin it in da midlands

If you mean something like the black partition boards we've used on the ground floor in the Grandstand, the answer is probably no.

[SquireMuldoon]

Nope. It will all be in one big room.

[ChevalierTialys]

im not on about partitions that start at floor level and go up, ones that sit on the desk and will not block walkways

[Kaution]

Stop being social outlaws and be apart of the big hall :)

[doeboy]

Let them put their partitions up, just means they won't see who's just lobbed an ice cream over into their section.

[PogoP]

Yeah, let these guys have their partition. That way, when we play football with our balls again (sexual innuendo? who knows), you'll never know which one of us 'accidentally' kicks a ball at you! :awesome:

I will eat it. Or Jodack will. FREE FOOD!

I play WoW at endgame level, and understand what a 5 man clutch is. Don't make presumptions about people before you meet them ;)

[Towneh]

I don't remember the last time I heard cried of "OMG IM LEVEL 70 WITH AN EPIC MOUNT" in the MMO section.

Plenty of "Dan!" though ;o

It's not even remotely like that at Dreamhack. The 'all-in-one-hall' atmosphere is actually pretty good, it works well :):

:wss: - also, having a main stage you can look at while at your desk works very well, everyone feels part of the lan.

Decent headset + music or game sounds and I'm pretty sure once everyones in there and PCs are set up sound wont travel too far.

[Mouse_On_Mars]

Hopefully this will herald the return of random shouting that used to traverse the grandstand ground floor. :)

This includes the black shirts too, don't think I didn't see you guys with your new wannabe blue team partitions at i33 ;p

[oxy]

partitions bad just be social ffs

[Jingles]

/me hopes he sat at the end of the hall that isn't under the 400 gigawatt speakers :gonk:

[her0n]

I think we all experienced BROWN NOISE at Dreamhack Winter 06, sitting with our backs to 4ft high subwoofers....

"If this is too loud, you are too old"

AHHR

The box is very social. Considerably more social than the rest of the LAN when you exclude Clans.

In fact, I'd go as far as saying that Box'o'Win@i33 was the best social LAN I've been to.

Stop moaning because the box doesn't want to be social with other people just getting drunk and voming everywhere and people not used to aiming without Aimbot in the toilets.

[Mouse_On_Mars]

Yes, it's more social than the rest of the LAN when you exclude most of the people in it. :rolleyes:

[Predobear]

It's always more social when Party Van's involved. :awesome:

Didn't you hear me saying "TAKE THAT YOU F**ING PALI" or "F**KING FEAR IMMUNE ****ING WARRIORS" or "POLY HIM FFS"

[Predobear]

I believe someone with this green gas mask was also looking for Sparta on the 1st floor of the Berkshire stand.

Nobody understood him asking for directions. He was lost.

I feel pity for that poor Spartan.

[Boffykins]

Hopefully this will herald the return of random shouting that used to traverse the grandstand ground floor. :)#shoutclub!!11111

[her0n]

Hallå!!!1

[jonze]

Answer me this, wowcakes: what would a shout of "Dan!" mean? ._.

[Demo]

[oxy]

bring back the BF2 vs UT Section's shouting match :D

[Anim]

Answer me this, wowcakes: what would a shout of "Dan!" mean? ._.

All started with Partridges "dan .... dan ... DAN!" and when mixed with Dan himself well ..... DAN!

[Towneh]

Dan!

[In$ane]

The only reason we moved from the ut sedction was too many css guys but the good thing about the box was the social part i do miss the ut section and the admins we had fun. but we have a lot of fun in the box .. i was hoping to be sitting in the fps section but we are at the end in the orange section to keep away from the css section :)

i expect when we are back at newbury for the small lans we try and get a box we had 42 last time 2 box's :0

The man has a point, i wasn't sat in there but the times I visited Evilbeanman and the generally leet people up there I had great fun...I think the 'Corner o win' will be less epic tbh. Whilst this new place looks great the lack of boxes worries me :/

[her0n]

It worries you because other people might see how elitist you guys are being?

Seriously, LAN in one hall is not the fiery pit of hell and doom some of you are painting. If you've been to dreamhack you'll know what I mean.

[teh_SLaNTy]

dotn get me wrong, i was in the css section (cue smell remarks) and had great fun but the box wwas pretty great. I'm sure once everyone gets used to stoneleigh itll be great.... or....itll go back to newbury.. meh

[Dav3y]

I like the idea of lack of boxes and partitions. It will bring back the feeling of gaming on the ground floor of the grandstand :)

[Predobear]

Aye, but it'll be...interesting, knowing us. :awesome:

However, I am disappointed at the lack of lifts for shenanigans this time round.

You may however, be seeing certain travellers during your stay...

[Dav3y]

The only shenanigans i saw in the lift at i33 was when i saw some guy gaffer taped to a chair with two 'escorts' in the Grandstand, we left them to it. It looked harmless.

[Omnituens]

how is it being elitist? there was open invite to everyone. we only asked that you didnt play MMO's during prime time - ie essentially CLUK in a Box.

[her0n]

Well I meant more like the 'oh my god how can we possibly LAN in the same room as everyone else!!' attitude.. :s

[Toptotty]

Bring back the "Wizzo loves the cock" blimp from ground floor @ i16 :D

[Omnituens]

think of it as not keeping other people out, but keeping them in.

[Jura55ic]

I think u will find partitions would breach fire regulations

[Shazz]

Bring back the "Wizzo loves the cock" blimp from ground floor @ i16 :D

Hows that, but suspended from an rc chopper?

[Cymru]

The thing is, the box has a much better social aspect to the LAN, the best lan i've ever been to, and the people there were just fantastic!... F'in halarious actualy. We actualy played loads of different games, and its a LAN in a LAN! Brilliant!

[Jobabob]

Well I meant more like the 'oh my god how can we possibly LAN in the same room as everyone else!!' attitude.. :s

Of course we can't, that room is going to smell so baaaddd.

[Niax]

that room is going to smell so baaaddd.


What kind of current draw is there from a plug-in Oust and would this effect the multiplay grid to much?


I think if everyone had one around us then we should be fine for smell :D

[Predobear]

Hows that, but suspended from an rc chopper?

So you know, if I find some way of fixing it, there's an RC plane (albeit in a couple of pieces) somewhere in my room.

Comes equipped for bombing runs. :awesome:

[Yeggstry]

Of course we can't, that room is going to smell so baaaddd.

You can always place yourselves next to CantFitMyN and we can create a smell-free zone :)

In case you don't know who we are, most of us were playing Werewolves in the evenings :)

22 in a box of win.

22 x 64 (early bird discount) = £1408

You realise you could hire a village hall and have your own lan quite easily for this price, with money left over for a lot of beer.

Not that I want to disuade you from coming to an iseries of course, but perhaps if you want your own little social lan....have one and stop complaining about the big lan you choose to come to :)

alredy in the works good sir :p:

[Baroness]

I'm really looking forward to being all in one room again. Will feel a bit ground-floor-i16-ish I hope (Wizzo blimp would be icing on the cake!) :)

[Predobear]

Actually, if people can provide money for such a task I will be repairing the RC plane for the very task of flying around the place with banners. This will either make it a Wizzo-plane, or just the lolplane o' win thanks to a multitude of different attachable paper banners, once I learn how to attach them without causing any harm to the plane with all the bombing/landing gear attached to its frail polystyrene body.

Once I learn how to fly it of course. :awesome:

[WhiteKnight]

RC Plane sounds like a bad idea. It could easily crash land into things knocking drinks into computers etc.

The blimp on the other hand was neutrally boyant. So wouldnt come crashing to the ground if it lost power, or the pilot got out of range.

Never said I was flying it inside, did I? ;-) But yes, that is true, however I doubt a block of polystyrene would seriously damage anything. However, judging by the amount of crap usually on my desk at an i-series, it doesn't take much to send a cake flying.

There needs to be i34 Barrel Rolling however. :v

[WhiteKnight]

As i said, the plane itself probably wont do any damage, but what about if it crashes into a can of coke which splashes into a mains socket or something...

Just a bad idea tbh.

[Shazz]

An RC blimp is only ~£40 anyway

Make it happen.

Which is what I meant by the entire cake scenario, so inside is a bad idea. I may just fly it around outside however, if I bother to get it repaired.

That, and Wizzo Blimp's getting bombed. :D:

What a stupid, ridiculous, bone, question!

Why not just stay at home in your tiny room away from anyone else and play on the internet with people at i34!

The whole idea of the LAN is it's a social occasion!

Ouch!

[Shazz]

Yes because ressurecting this thread does a whole lot of good...

[Predobear]

So if you find the idea of partitions so horrendously anti-social, why did you seat yourselves in a private box at i33?

We had about 15 or 20 members coming and we thought we'd give it a go.....but, the horrendous noises of whining and whinging from the box next door nearly ruined the whole experience :)

Ouch!

[Rookie]

I'm sorry you couldn't hear yourselves over the sound of how awesome we are.
