Greetings fellow gamers.

As most of you know there has been a talk bout having LYN very 1st LAN PARTY.
We have managed to secure a spot for this event. It will be held in Autumn Breeze Internet Cafe at Taman Chiliung, Klang. The owner of the place Mr Andy which is also a forumer here has agreed to sponsor the Venue with all the bells n whistles at NO cost at all. The dates that we are looking at is in FEB before Valentines day, so it should be on the 10th n 11th FEB. Its kinda soon, but doing it after CNY is not possible as it will be the CC's peak period as everyone gets their "Ang Pow" then. Among the facilities n equipment that will be provided are -

30 units of 19" LG Widescreen LCD displays
30 units of table with chairs
A couple of sofa
2 units of 42" Plasma display, LG also iinm
Sufficient power points + LAN points

Basically his cafe is 3 shop lots, and we are gonna have the event in the 1 of the lots. All 3 lots are connected. As for security, we have to be our own guard n police man for that manner, but we will try to block the access to public at certain times.

We will most probably have the event on a Saturday morning n will last till Sunday Noon. As the place is open 24/7 we can camp there over nite and game on. There is also a hotel nearby for those who needs the rest.

What are we gonna do for 24hrs of game time..??? Well of course we will have tourneys like LP, GOW, COD3, GRAW, PGR3, NFS:Carbon, FIFA 07 n yes HALO 2 .. n etc.. As games for the tourney game list its not confirmed yet, we see what games most of us have n that will be the choice.
Besides tourney, we will have free sessions where you guys can play what ever you want with whoever u want. And lastly we will open the event floor to the public at certain times of the tourney to let them go "gaga" on the full power of the X360 n hopefully make an impact to draw more PC Gamers to the X360 scene.

Those plasma screen will he again the glass display to showcase the event to the public. This stretch of road is popular during the evening n late evenings coz of the mamak stall nearby.

I have not much experience on this event organising n would really hope you guys with ideas n comments be it constructive or otherwise, to contribute your 2cents.
Together we can make this happen with huge success.

And lastly, we really hope that those who are financially able, to contribute on the events as prize sponsor.

Thank You n Cheers.

As you can see the right lot has 4 panes of glass doors, n the upmost front is the entry to the right side of the cyber cafe.
As for the left lot, the entry point is thru the back of the unit below the stairs. [at where the yellow shirt guy is standing (pic 2) n also after the oval shape table (pic 1)]

Guys, hope you all had a good CNY, feeding ur face n collecting angpow's. Since most of you guys are back now.. I just wanna know how shall we approach this event..??

Klubba, did managed to contact me sometime b4 CNY, and we talk bout the what the event would be like if had it in a BIG scale event (in a shopping mall, showing the x360 to the real public, be confined to the sponsors liking [to some degree] but we get to pass the message across that we are serious in the x360 to MS) or we can do it small scale (in the cafe, get to play what we want to play, when we want to play, not much public awareness)

Since this a a gaming community, no one person shall decide what we are going for. We shall come to a collective understanding on what we all want to see in this, and what hope to see in the future.

Let us know what you x360'ers think bout our gaming community and how the event should developed into.

Thank you for taking ur time to read this thru.

Cheers.

If there's Halo, I'm there...

Haven't heard of the Venue place before though

sleep is FTL!

let's wait for more ppl to see this thread. can we get a sticky here? count me in

Andy from PCGames.com.my eh? He already had a plan to make a cybercafe filled with consoles instead of PCs. Looks like it's gonna materialize.

Went to that place once.....but to 1st floor (if im not mistaken) to get my battlefield 2142....but that place area looks so scarylah....maybe bec i hardly go to klang....lol

sounds intresting..

Did u go to the corner lot 1..? That is Winter Nights, under the same managment also.
This Autumn Breeze is new, n just renovated like few mths back. Previously it was named Summer Dream.

if you're playing halo2 ...the plasma nades and i are there

count me in BRO... i like to sleep there.. 2 night.. .... hope this event will succesfull.... & the game i suggest :

1. GOW ( Wajib game)
2. DOA4
3. HALO2...
4. DOAX2 (Let se who most "hentai" here..)
5. GRAW
6. LP

That all i think..

I'll sponsor a 1,600 MS Points card and a 3-month Live subscription card. Hope that helps.

I'm with mobi, thing is i also dunno where the place is, i might have other appointments and my mock exams are coming up soon. So i have no idea >_< is it a bring your own console and LAN cable type thing?

yeap, thats called LAN Party

if ur kind enough, can post some pictures of the area. "must be our own guard n sheet". sounds scary weh

I'm in for that.

From my POV to make it happens,

First, we need at least 20 to 30 participants.

2nd, game tourney to pro-long the fun. (n we need event organizer, game marshal, rules n regulations)

3rd prizes.（sponsors->gamer's hideout??)

we need at least 10 committee to plan everything.

at the moment, the main concern is how many participants will join the LAN Party since this is a CONSOLE only lan party.

now bz playing burning crusade... must grind grind grind... but will make time for this event...

why get a few of us here to go there and do a lil survey of the place... bring a few 360's there to test the connection, power and atmosphere..

i'm kinda worry about the event organizer, game marshal, rules n regulations part. how on earth are we going to hire and who is willing to do it? must be some pc gamer that can resist the poison eh

bansai,
u still playing WoW? i stopped after i got my xbox360 last february

we are all adults... we can handle ourselves

alkt: trying out the new expansion... not bad.. at least the new characters are playable.... but seriously takes up too much time..

i know but what happens if one of us their box got stolen? many things can happen

luckily i stopped, WoW is taking too much time and my money

also i lazy wanna go raid this raid that. stuffs that i get in the end is just not worth my effort and time

Unless the shop owner (Andy) willing to barricade the area and also if we want to promote the LAN party, we need to advertise (banner/broachers /flyer ) it doesn't help if only our own community join the party, we need to promote/expand our 360 community as well, this is part of the purpose of having such a big event.


As for game, I would suggest to have 1 game for each of the category.

Sport - FIFA07/WEX/NBA LIVE/NBA2k7
First Person shooter - R6:LV/Halo2/PDZ/Prey/COD2/COD3
3rd Person shooter - GOW/GRAW/LP
Racing - PGR3/NFSC/TDU
Fighting - DOA4/FNR3

there are alot more to discuss, guess we should start asking volunteer to be the event committee/organiser/marshal and discuss bout this LAN Party.

Note: mostly committee are not entitled to play in LAN Party.(coz u wont be free during the lan party time)
