Roses Event!
Dates: Week 2, Friday 3rd - Sunday 5th Times: 7:30pm Friday - 6pm Sunday Where: Law & Management Building, Heslington East Campus Cost: Free! Welcome back from Easter all, hope you had good one, yet now for the important business: Possibly (if not the) biggest LAN party FragSoc has thrown! This event will be in the Law & Management building (LMB) on Hes East (find the links below about parking, location etc) from 7:30pm this Friday til 6pm on the Sunday, with all the good stuff you all know and love, yet this time with more awesome. Roses For any of you who don't know, Roses is the annual event between York and Lancaster Uni's to amongst the societies from Rugby to Karate, to Netball to Snooker and most things in between; and now we are proud to bring you (how they have eloquently put it on the fixtures here http://www.yusu.org/roses/fixtures) the Roses "Computer Gaming"! This event the biggest and best from Lancaster University's eSports Society will be coming over to compete vs FragSocs' finest (term used loosely) in 4 different games: Starcraft 2 DotA 2 League of Legends War of the Roses These games will be played, will be casted online, and can be watched on the big-screen in the circle lecture theatre (we have kinda booked all the rooms!) for you to cheer on your fellow nerds, throughout the weekend. If you ain't playing SC2, DotA or LoL, you can always give your hand at casting! Paradox & War of the Roses It seems apparent why we will be playing War of the Roses at, you know, the Roses Event, yet what may not be so apparent is this: Paradox (the Publishers of WotR game) is flying people over from mo' effing SWEDEN, to cast over us teh interwebs playing vs Lancaster for guts and glory! Not only that as you may have seen that they have generously given us keys to play it for free, AND are providing us with our own server for the event. Did I mention they're coming over FROM SWEDEN to do this with us?!?... "Computer Gaming" just got real.... Other greatness Yet don't worry it wont be to serious face and competitive if that's not your cup of tea. The LAN will be running as normal, yet just bigger! As i mentioned we have booked out like ALL the rooms! The big room will be used as usual, yet we also engulfing the side rooms just to try and contain the awesome. Along side this, those of you who have been to LMB before may remember the lets call them, the "sub-par" exam desks.... yet no more! All rooms will have glorious, glorious tables... feels good man. Plus it will be returning... yes Artemis Bridge simulator will be running for those of you that cant get enough of it! And it goes without saying, there's a weekend long LAN... play as many vidya geams as you can! Plus there's more; Our lovely and awesome and handsome sponsors Kustom PCs will be doing free delivery to this event!!! (see link below) And as usual for 3 day-ers, a fish 'n' chip order will be done Friday and Saturday evening, and a pizza order on Saturday too. Links Graeme's Fantastic Kustom Order Thread: viewtopic.php?f=21&t=3752 Location, Parking etc for LMB (for the love of god if your driving please follow this and don't just park wherever): viewtopic.php?f=21&t=3369&hilit=LMB Roses team thread: viewtopic.php?f=21&t=3704 Lift thread for anyone who can offer/ is wanting transport: viewtopic.php?f=21&t=3754 WotR on steam for anyone who didn't get a key and is intrigued (show Paradox some love!): http://store.steampowered.com/app/230940/ bad-ass poster for the event with the TLDR, made by PnP officer Becky: http://i.imgur.com/bdVYYPa.jpg Aside We do require at least 1 spare PC, monitor and mouse (good enough for WotR) for Paradox to use, and maybe a couple more spare encase Lancaster run into any issues transporting their stuff. Any fantastic individuals who can help in any way provide any of these will be rewarded with their pick of anything from the prize crate, and our eternal gratitude :3 We hope to see you all there for what should be like the best thing since things began!
