It actually wasn't that inconvenient, GearitUP. Last year we did this, with 4 routers and everyone brought their own laptop. Although I'd love to be at a real LAN, this works just as well. But about the $$$ for the LAN, I don't quite understand. It's $20 per person?

LR is at berkeley, as a freshman. Dwinelle is probably the easiest if you can get enough computers/everyone is okay playing on a laptop.

It isn't that inconvenient AT ALL. In 2005 we had a LAN in SoCal where we rented a house in Orange County and had a LAN with almost 20 people and the only problem we had was at the start the electrical grid in the house crashed because of the amount of comps, but if we actually get a good place at Berkeley that shouldn't be a problem at all.

30495834098x cheaper than fucking $20 per person for 10 hours that is absolutely outrageous, lol. I don't care if SoCal places are cheaper than NorCal places, we got $9 for 11am-2am , that's less than half the price for 15 hours as opposed to 10 hours ;; that's ridiculous.

Alright, someone with connections set us up a room in Dwinelle!

Edit: Hmm... Xeris, how long do you propose this LAN to be? Last year we only had it for like... 5-6 hours? It was like 6 PM to 11 PM, or something like that. Here's the pics of how big the room was last year: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=69835 (near middle of page)

I think we'll need a bigger room this time

If worst comes to worst, people can always share computers if they have no other means of getting a laptop there.

I don't think that anyone is going to tell you that you shouldn't bring your tower cpu...

depends on how many people we have ...

if we're efficient we can finish 16 people in about 6-7 hours.

Happy birthday Xeris -_-;;
Man, I am posting from school right now just to vent some anger/frustration/sadness.

On Friday I have volleyball practice, then on Saturday I have to get up early to go to a tournament. Although missing the volleyball practice should be fine, I'm in a predicament here - First, I'll have to convince my parents to let me skip the volleyball practice. Next, if I can go to the LAN, I will have to leave around 10:40 - 11:20, whereas I was originally planning to stay upwards until 2-3 AM. However, I did leave the last LAN B4 Time at around 11:30, so it shouldn't be too bad if I can go.

This LAN B4 Time sounds like it will be loads more fun than last one because with, what, airbeds, food and snacks? Hahaha, it will be a very professional LAN! I really wish I could have gone without limitations, but hopefully I can still come for at least part of the LAN. If I do come, though, I'll make sure to bring a videocamera and camera! Last year we did not have the best of coverage.

Xeris, will you still be planning to host another one the next week? I will have nothing on that weekend (the best day will be Saturday for me, at least).
