Leeds has a Game Development Soc, they were meant to run LANs but never did. They may be interested.

So are you gonna invite a couple of people from other unis to the LN028 event? And show them how we plan to run the event, then let them act as advertisers for the other unis??

Not as such, we are encouraging wider participation in the L/N/028 event so trying to get people who have visited from Leeds before like Shem and all that to come (we have space for about 80 people I think, it would be great to fill it up!) - then we can look at any problems we encountered, and move forward. We will have a better case to the university people that we can manage things like risk, logistics, and so on and so forth. Of course, if people from other universities want to attend for the week 8 then the more the merrier, but officially we won't be 'pushing' this to other universities until the 'big' event (which, the date is still yet to be decided... if we push hard we may get one in next term or otherwise it will be next year. Decisions, decisions...)

5 v 5 search and destroy COD4 would be nice, or even a 15 v 15 TDM

Call of duty 2? Alot simplier than cod 4 and 5 but so much better in my books :]

Prefer CoD4 tbh, even its dubious nade infested deathmatch. A lot more insanity and a lot less leeway for sniper whores, except S4fe obviously.

The original COD and maybe United Offensive beat all that have succeeded them.

As much as I like the idea of all of us in one room I think we need some office cubicle type seperator things to fence off the DoTA types.

We could just put them outside in the corridor with just a network cable and the 8-port switch Smile

Would like advertising on local radio like radio aire or something be a good idea?

I'm not sure of how much bigger the turnout's going to be yet, but the fragsoc main page needs updating with info ASAP.

Something I think would work well would be a browser-integrated IRC box on the //fragsoc page, so everyone there can chat to coordinate games easily.

There is one. You go to http://fragsoc and click chat Wink

Too much effort. And nobody's ever in there Sad

So...what?!

Clicking "chat" is a step or 2 more than embedding a widget into the main page. Or...you know, learn to use a real IRC client.

I run mIRC and Chatzilla... empty chatrooms make me sad Sad

Well, you don't appear to be in it...
