Multiplay.co.uk is hosting a large multigame LAN event in the UK, "bring your own computer", or just "turn up and play"

It is 2hrs Train ride from me, so I am going to be there and play CS:S and TF2...BUT...and heres the cruncher:

I hope they figured out how to get a server running before hand.

Also, can you imagine multiple full 150 person servers filled completely first time players? The headache alone would kill me. Kinda glad I don't live in the UK

OMG 1500 newbies online! Do we even have enough server capacity for 1500 ppl? Oh, wait, they'll prolly run their own LAN server... Anyway, that's 1500 potential recruits... Hell of a CDT class /blink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":o" border="0" alt="blink.gif" />

Hey aaron newbury isn't too far from me, I am thinking of going but I can't find any reference to allegiance on the site. Get on ts and we can sort some stuff out.

huh. That would be pretty sweet if a lot of people like it... then again...

sounds like it should be one hell of a gathering, lots of good games in that list, with allegiance on top, of course.

1500 cadets?

I resign! Seriously.

Poor Foid and BV will prolly go jump off a cliff too.

Some of our UKers should head on over and help those guys out or something. Spread the Gospel of the Sgt_Baker!

It seems they have played large Allegiance games at a previous event (i24):

Yeah, they must use an old version, and host a LAN game, hmm I wonder, I'll try to get the event captured on Fraps so you guys can see /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

Are you guys aware that this has been done before? Shouldn't they contact our admins to get the latest versions?

I'll try and get new ppl interested in playing online to come here /wub.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":iluv:" border="0" alt="wub.gif" />

I'm looking foward to the tournaments /mrgreen.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="mrgreen.gif" />

I have just spoken to the guys running the tournament on the phone, apparently they will be running their own in house server so all of the machines will be effectively on a mini internet, from reading the forums about allegiance players have been told to download the latest version and create asgs accounts. It seems to me it is gonna be a case of them creating an i32 server like eu or planet and only people at the event with their machines connected to this server.
