Project Reality - UK LAN Info Only Thread

UK_Force · 2008-08-12, 17:48

All info will be collated here as and when required, leaving the other as a Sign up thread only.

Please check on a Regular Basis for Updates

I have booked it in Bovington in Dorset, at the Armour Centre, home of the Royal Armoured Corps, due mostly to costs and time constraints against us. The idea would be the ABA guys host all as guests, over the weekend 13th/14th September.

We will run a BBQ on the tea time of the Saturday, followed by drinking and playing PR through the night. On the Sunday, have a bit of breakfast and a clean up, then go to visit the tank museum.

The LAN cabling, power, screens, seating etc is all in place and all people would need to bring is a tower/laptop. We have the building to ourselves for 2 days but the idea is to run an overnighter fuelled by beer and redbull

The problem lies with numbers, we can currently only have 28 guys max, so it would be by first come first served basis.

The costs involved are hopefully minimal, transport to Dorset, £5 per head for a BBQ, Fry up for breakfast £1.06, bring your own beer, or get it when here.

The idea is to literally turn up, have a good time with good company, have a relaxed time, and kick some a** on PR
What I need to know is definate numbers of who would be interested so i can get the ball rolling. And if anyone thinks of anything else i can bolt on let me know. As well as the stuff listed above we are currently looking into having:

1. A Q & A session where questions can be fielded to some of the DEV's, and maybe a few snippets of "unknown" info about future content and a few exclusives may pop out.

2. An added bonus of at least one 'new' map which is as yet unplayed, and prepared exclusively for this LAN.

3. Some static AFV's, hopefully a CR2 and Scimitar among other vehicles (not guaranteed yet!)

4. A visit to the Bovington Tank Museum http://www.tankmuseum.org/home.html to include a full guided tour by the museum director!

Just to add guys, those who come will need sleeping bags, and wash kits, as we will be "roughing" it

Ok I have got a CISCO 24 port router for the extra places now, to that end if anyone has or can bring some decent length CAT 5 cables that would be appreciated, as I may not be able to source enough of them.

20 places are already in place, just need to add a further 10 ish, hence the router.

Please pm me if you can bring some CAT 5 cables

Cheers lads

Due to this being a LAN can all attendees please ensure they have a "clean" computer prior to bringing it down, and that your Anti Virus is up to date and working.

Also ensure you have Teamspeak installed and working, and dont forget to pack your BF2 CD ..... lol

If you have any old "decent" computer bits you want rid of as well, it may be an idea to bring them down, as you may be able to sell them and help someone out ???

UK_Force · 2008-09-11, 17:19

The monitors all have VGA adapters. So those with just DVI ports on your graphis cards will need to bring an adapter.

Dont forget them Guys or you wont be able to have a screen.

UK_Force · 2008-09-12, 11:35

Ok Guys we are starting to set up now, and as far as I am aware, there is only 1 person who can not make it.

So see you all in the Morning - 0945am.

As previous meet up in Clouds Hill Car Park, I will be stood next to a Silver Hyundai Coupe F2 Evo, V Reg, so you can spot me.
