Hello all,

I am an admin for Lanbash in Lismore NSW.

Just read about your 500 person LAN

Sounds sweet and CCGL has allways looked good from what I have read on your site. So if its the same guys behind Phat LAN then I think a Road Trip is in order.

Its a long way from The north coast... so the biggest factors are weather people are willing to jump in a bus for 6 hours or so and how much its going to cost people for the whole deal.


Most of you probably would not have heard of Lanbash.

We have been running large LANs up here in Alstonvile and now Lismore for about 2 years.

Qualmark Computers just Took over the running of the LAN and has Built a perminate Base in the back of its store to house 160 or so people. In Lismore.

As far as I know its the first One of its Kind in Australia.
Simply because it will only be on weekends and is not a internet cafe.

We have had 168 people to our largest LAN with our smallest being 50 people.

I am going to look into prices for organinsing a trip of this kind. The prizes are good enough to make it worth our while to travel that far I believe as long as we get some interest from our good players.

We have some good COD and some Good CS players up here but we are fairly isolated in terms of competing agaist new blood. Gamesiege is really only the other large LAN close enough.

I imagine it would only be worth our while if we took about 30 people down there.

Probably the best way would be two mini buss's That way people can stick the gear in the bus and not in the luggage storage.

Has anyone else done this before. It would save alot of research time and energy if i could pick somones brain for what works and doesnt work organising such a big bus trip. How do we go about booking around 30 slots once I organise the details?

Cheers,

Jarm

best bet there would be to email jason@ccgl.org i think... if u could get like 40 ppl or so u could get a bus for about $500 i thnik it is... but u can spread that out so it wont be so bad

If you managed to organise a coach, would probably be good too. The luggage compartments are sealed on those and you could pad things out to protect them better.

The more the deadlier :)

Of couse if we had players who Won! it would make things even easier on those particular people.

I will speak to qualmark once this has some solid planning down and they might pitch in for some of the cost.

By doing so they will localy get some cred with those particular 30 people and any of thier friends.

We have a Small LAN on this weekend with about 40 people so I will put the Idea to them and according to if i get any solid interest I will decide to start planning it or not.

Its likely that if I recieve no interest I will fly down anyway.

prolly better off flying into Newcastle and taking the train. Coming from Syd is irritating to say the least.

Thanks
I got his PM just then but havent rung him yet
I asked a few people at the LAN that was on this weekend.

I had mixed response. There were a few hardcore CS players who were interested.

After some discussion its evident that we will have a hard time with the Bus idea as no-one who is interested yet has a full liciece. I am still on my Greens and I am pretty sure to drive a mini bus you need at least blacks.

Also we really need two drivers so they can take turns.

I will keep asking around and maybe send out some e-mail spammage to the locals.

Ideas on how we can get there are welcome. But so far the bus idea sounds the cheapest. And there is no way im driving myself that far...

If i can get the CS dudes to go then they will be going to WIN the comp. So i Hope your ready

If you need a driver, I don't think I'll be doing anything.. and I'm bored.

Ok I just called Jason. We had a good chat.

Thanks for the offer Coogle not sure if your being serious or just having a joke.

If we do end up with this trip i would like the Lanbash Bus to pickup any people on towns through the way. Im sure there are alot of LANs on the way down. It means the trip will take alot longer with the whole stopping off all the time but meh.

anyone who lives on the way and needs a life PM me.

Kinda serious, but probably a bad idea. So hopefully you can get someone local to drive. Hope to see you there.
