Epic planning

It's time to put out the call for help! :D

I need to start getting everyone together to work on this year's LAN gathering in Michigan. Some things I need specific help with managing:
  • Power
  • Network
  • Game servers
  • Game tournaments
  • Non-game events
  • Security
  • Swag wranglers

Please be sure you're ready to spend some time on one or more of these things before and during the event. It's far worse to volunteer and then not follow through than to simply attend. :)

Let me know if you want to get involved, and in what capacity. :cheers3:

    I'm still willing to help plan, even though I can't attend.

    Magic was the LAN Coordinator... what does he have planned? I will probably be flying in on late Wednesday with a laptop. No tools, no cords, nothing but my glowing personality...

    I'm planning on running Boardgames and Duct Tape Engineering again.

    I'm also willing to help with/help plan security if we're in a venue without its own measures, and I'd like to help plan the Chinese auction, if assistance is needed. (I was thinking of making the ticket boxes (I have some cool ideas), since that was the failure last year, unless plans for the boxes have already been made).

    Will help with anything else as requested.

    Seriously though, I am willing to help with security in some way... just in case people were to misconstrue my levity...

    I vote for Magic and Cyclonite for running the games/tourneys. And pigflipper.

    I would be willing to investigate how to set up dedicated servers for games (especially non-valve if we play any)

    We haven't heard from Magic... When I stepped down, Magic volunteered. I vouch for Cyclonite's skill and patience. He held together almost longer than I did before losing his cool. :D

    As for the dedicated servers and running them... we need to list the games as soon as possible so people can figure out how to run the servers. Remember, server guys get all the crap if things don't run the way 100% of the people expect.

    Swag will not be an issue. While here, I've had several companies very interested in sponsoring us.

    I got games and tourneys if Magic can't do it. I can also help out with the dedicated servers if it comes down to it. :)

    I want to be there, I should be there and will help out any way I can.
    But, I'm not 100% sure I'll be there. But it's looking good. But this time
    no rocket fuel not much more than an laptop I would be flying this time.
    If I bring anything strange I may get EggRoll :D and I think I'm a little
    old to have that happening to me.;D
