16/08/2004 13:34 #2 weemcd john posts : 8 lans : 5 it was an excellent lan, 3 cheers for the gamecon crew. The whole thing was ran very professionaly, and it truly was a multi-media event with the consoles, the two projectors and the promotional stuff from ea. Little touches like the goody bags and users of the hour meant everyone left with a little something to remind them of the day.

BTW the gamer of the hour was originally a Darkside Lan another great lan event btw I'd recommend you attend if you've never been. It was great to see the event so full... Lanning is really taken off in this country and its about time.

17/08/2004 08:44 #7 BluE-WinG Travis RathLan, GameCon Organiser. posts : 162 lans : 30 We had roughly 120 people attending

17/08/2004 08:45 #8 Wookie5 Jay posts : 28 lans : 17 Final count was around 120 with plaeny of space over ...we even had enough room to bring the consoles in from the room....btw Lanmasta dont remember you m8... did you sign up with a different handle.

18/08/2004 08:35 #9 Zero Ronan Condon clan : n8z posts : 5 lans : 8 Did I dream it or did I hear Mr Darkside (Rich) dropped in for a look and was told he had to leave because it was a "no-spectator" event?

18/08/2004 12:21 #10 Wookie5 Jay posts : 28 lans : 17 I heard he dropped in, I'm not sure what happened as I wasnt there at the time. I believe he looked around and left. But I can say that the No Specs thing was a condition of the IMI Center and With a €1500 deposit on the event there where no risks taken. They kept a close eye on us. To say they where reluctant to rent the hall to us is an understatement.

18/08/2004 22:57 #11 BK Owen Mills posts : 15 lans : 13 Yer Bio came and had a look around (even got time to advise me on some XP installage) before leaving. Its hard to get a fancy place like the IMI to rent to a bunch of gamers as you never know what riff raff will show up. Lets hope they were'y to upset with the state of the place. Final count was just short of 120. Not bad but we hope to build on that.

20/08/2004 17:39 #12 Zekiel Ken Darker posts : 32 lans : 28 administrator I thankfully managed to avoid the camera's yet again. I have to say I really enjoyed it... minus the multiple headaches I seemed to get during the event(Usually happens when I try to think!), it all turned out nice.

13/08/2004 13:27 #13 Sniipe Rory Carroll Sooo.... really? clan : irish kake posts : 354 lans : 18 pics : 1 site administrator ive donated to room101.org! I knew nothing about this... just went on the site there. 17ppl already on the waiting list. I don't think I'll take a gamble and travel from galway.
