Back from da LAN

So I just got home after 4 days of epic lanning :)

I hope everyone enjoyed it as much as I did, it was a lot better than I could expect!

Thanks to all my co-admins, and especially Evgeny & Marcus (ye that's +1 to the shoutouts) from YCN-hosting, Sainted for taking care of the crossfire coverage & Adacore for helping with the run-up as well as my "et-committee" who gave me feedback to make this LAN a success!
And of course thanks to all the players & managers attending, without your dedication to the game there wouldn't be any LANs and ET would be DEAD! Hehehe :p

Ok lads time for bed cya tomorroz

Parent

Parent
Ye, we caught it with 2 mins :D Was a close call. Was nice that I could catch a ride with you guys!
Parent
No prob :)
Parent
glad you could catch your train thanks to our awesome Rockit taxi :p
Parent
hater, acting like you dont know me! :(
Parent
Didn't even see u Carlos? :S
Parent
yeah you did, must not have remembered what i looked like from cc7 cuz u were wasted xD
Parent
awww, I'm sorry Carlos :(
Parent
rofl np. just promised deefgay to french kiss lazio for him, but didnt see him either :(
Parent
nice meeting you at lan eirik :)
Parent
good job krosan

for all the ppl that don't understand, all matches started on time (only grand final didn't, started 12minutes BEFORE)

some of the matches were you waited 1/2 hours were because they were put earlier on GTV (wrong time), if you followed the AEF schedule you would see they were 95% on schedule
oh oh oh rockit vs impact?!
But ye, good with no delay, didn't like the play 1 game at 9 then wait 6 hours to play 1 game at 16:00 :D
Parent
suvi said that on the .xls file it said it would start at 14 cet lol
Parent
suvi says alot!
Parent
your self-proclaimed commitee did not only make the LAN success but made some really stupid decisions that got only flamed among the community

yet I have to give you the credit for all the work you did for the LAN
good job
ettv delays were kinda annoying, but i think thats not your fault :)
ye I know, but we had to put them early just to make sure we didn't fail to record any matches

if you start your match before the ettv broadcast time, then you won't be recording, so it's safer to schedule them earlier on gamestv

and we got at times 2 hours ahead of schedule so we that's why we sometimes really put it early and got ettv "delays" of an hour or so when in reality those matches were still played 1 hour ahead of schedule ^^
Parent
ur still alive :) gj. about dat aef; I might had some fun with ur lan if u didnt manage to fail dem streams so badly. maybe everything else worked well but u managed to fuck up the most important part, live coverage. whats the point @ lan games if u cant watch them/ or delay is over 100 mins :x and dont say "having fun with e-friends" thats not worth of a 500 e trip. gl in aef2. thas wassup
yeah but that still isnt any reason to put ppl waiting 2 hours @ ettv.
Parent
Ye I know. Coverage is important to me for sure. This was the schedule that we were following:
http://www.crossfire.nu/?x=news&mode=item&id=6037

And this was a little post I made explaining you should watch that schedule :P
http://www.crossfire.nu/?x=journal&mode=item&id=107706

But ye, gamestv is easier and next time we'll surely need to keep a closer eye on that one :)
Parent
maybe having inet @ venue would be great thing : x
Parent
This actually was one of the biggest reasons we didn't get delays this time ^^
Parent
keep it that way ^^. but get some ventilation @ the press area next time pls :xxx
Parent
Hehe I'll bring it up next time :)
Parent
You did an awesome job, but please, put the CoD4 guys in another room next time. They smell and theyre fcking annoying :<
and they scream a lot :D
Parent
that the annoying part :p
Parent
good job, was a nice lan :)
gj krosan
Huge props to you (and your whole crew) for this whole LAN, it was really enjoyable. Must have been the first one to actually be ahead of schedule :P. Looking forward to the next one
Thanks, means a lot :)

Next one should be around February or March!
Parent
do it first week of march :)
Parent
stop browsing on your TV :D
Parent
but its so comfy :(
Parent
was nice meeting u again m8 :) im back home aswell now
well done
ANDREAS VRIEND
u didnt even say hi to me at lan :/
well done krosan !
u better give him the money you owe him fuck0r
Parent
what money?
Parent
You are the wrong guy, Im sorry <3.
Parent
np mate <3
Parent
tip for the next time; if owzo plans to shoutcast disable, kill, burn his command map while he's on stream
he needs it for casting :o
Parent
Just need a second for the video stream ^^ can see why it's necessary to see where the action is when casting... the alternative is that you have a lot of freeflight like toss does.
Parent
I agree completely, but bringing it on and off every 2 seconds all the time makes it pretty goddamn annoying
Parent
just watch ettv and leave the stream running at the same time?
Parent
the stream is like a min ahead then :/
Parent
cant u pause it? :s
Parent
tried, when unpaused it just refreshed
Parent
krosan!
Awesome LAN and handled absolutely brilliantly, glad to hear they will host ET again. Again a massive thank you Krosan.
totally +1
Parent
:DDDDD so retarded
Nice lan, nice to talk to you aswell

E: Some GTV matches only show 1 map is this going to be fixed or? ;'o
Which one? I think I can get Marcus to look at it :)
Parent
Speedlink vs Mighty Ducks , it only shows the last map (frostbite)
Parent
Drop a note in the feedback post about it: http://www.crossfire.nu/?x=news&mode=item&id=6064
Parent
Krosan you did an amazing job. nearly perfect lan, the fuckups on last day (headset problems) werent your responibility or fault. great job, great lan.
will contact you soon for teh monneyz :p
Congrats! Nice proving the doubters wrong :)
you are nice, allthough removing WSF from the schedule was wrong ;)
:D Next time sign up then :P
Parent
do we get discount if we know admins? :D
Parent
Ye, instead of 300€ per team you'll get the sweet deal of paying only 350€!
Parent
airco included?
Parent
Well done Krosan was a very cool event :)
gj krosan
there was a lan??
see what i did there
oh dam i was having so much fun playing bfbc2 that i miss those lans :O
you did well :))
Really awesome job. Was an amazing LAN to play and spectate, and it all went like clockwork.

(I would've made the teams on the stage start about an hour earlier than you did, but I wasn't gonna say that, because that would've given Impact less time to sort the problems :p)
need more pics :D
next time tell the cod guys the quiet or gtfo, fucking annoying
thx <3 next time ill stop bugging you about saiko's games :p
still dont quite get why they removed some pc's on saturday already though...
Ah the schedule was fixed like that, Friday & Saturday we had 40 pc's, while Sunday only 30.
Potty did great with the consolation tourney, but I just couldn't have anything to do with that (big problems with stage setup etc).
Parent
thanks krosan for AEF.

gg
i owend u 3 times dont forget :p<3

was a nice lan cya next lan <3 :)
Let's try that in ET, I'll kick your ass np4me! ;)
Parent

Parent
