Details :

This is a Bring Your Own Computer event. Here is the list of games that people have shown an interest in playing. Obviously, we will not be playing all of them. Or maybe we will...

Half Life 2
COUNTERSTRIKE : Source
Unreal Tournament 2004

There will be several servers running at all times! If there is something you really want to play, post a message on the Lan Party Manager or on the message board on NJLanParty.com.

The schedule for this party is available here : http://www.njlanparty.com/apps/alp/disp_schedule.php

We won't be having official tournaments, but we may setup some friendly tournaments once everything gets going.

After we get settled, the mayhem begins! Games will be decided by whoever is there at the time. There are no limits as to what we will play or try! Well, ok...The only limit will be LICENSED USERS ONLY!

In addition to LAN games, we will have a few people playing other tabletop games. Feel free to use these games to take a break from staring at the screen...or not.

Rules :

There will be no trading of warez, MP3â€™s or Movies! We are getting together to play, not clog the LAN with stuff flying back and forth.
You must have licensed copies of the games you will be playing. We will not be responsible for getting our servers to work with your cracked copy.
Adults only. No one under 15 years old with out being accompanied by a parent or guardian.
Headphones only: I hate this rule, I really do, however due to power and space concerns, I am asking everyone to use headphones. Donâ€™t worryâ€¦We will have at least one spectating system with speakers to provide atmosphere.
No Alcoholic beverages, or illegal substances or activities.

What to bring:

Your PC
All CDs that you may need to start any games you plan to play.
All power cables
A 25 foot Network Cable
Mouse pad
Headphones
Money for food
Or Chips, snacks, or soda for yourself or to share if you want.

Oh and if you're not into PC GAMES...

Uh-oh...Is there a rule?

Big Bruin was one of the best sponsors we had for our July Party. He asked me to post some information about our next party weeks ago, I just never got around to do it. I'm sorry to give you such little time to decide to go or not. There is still just about 10 days to decide. If some of you are local, or semi-local, come and take a ride and meet some of your fellow cyber-posters in a real-world setting. Even if you're not into LAN Gaming, there will be other games to play.

Don't listen to Vulcan... Wink

just defending the turf, but this is definitely fine! Some people come on pimping some odd products, but I would definitely like to see more LAN parties on here! Grin

Ah yes...Important to do so. There is so much crap out there. Its a sign of a good community when you have people looking out for you.

Hell...its a sign of a good community when you have people who post! I still get guys in our group who just e-mail me links and clips from webs rather than posting them. I always have to say...Hey that's great! Why don't you post it on the site so the others see it...Common sense I thought.

Yes, it's and Ad... but it's a widely accepted type of ad. And since Mr. Money Bags is a sponsor, we will allow it... Grin

And No Call of Duty WTF

I didn't even get involved in that one... I may hone my CS skills and go for that window of gaming... Laughing

Yeah, sorry about that post, it's just that I've seen waaay too many spam/ad posts on other forums from first time posters and get jumpy around new people.

Don't count on me turning up, it's a little hard for me to get there (last time I tried to get my pc through customs it didn't work out well)
