Cool, it'll be good to see Wyno again! This LAN looks like it's gonna be a big'un!

Has any of the Left Coast Brat Packâ?¢ responded?

Cops, if it comes down to that I can loan you one, I have a comp that can handle D3 just fine.

There's a possibility I can make this...got a nice new job :] Anyone going to be driving from texas or a state close by...and if not, what's a good airline? Thanks

KompresZor · Post by **KompresZor** » Sat Oct 04, 2003 5:51 pm

I guess if Testi is going to be driving within 4 miles of my house I have no excuses for not going. Testi, I can ride with you or you can park your ride at my house and we can take Mrs KompresZors 04 Grand Prix (I just bought wednesday). It's a nice ride, good sound system and a 4 body trunk

Then we can pick up kurupt and head west

Damn kurupt, I didn't know you lived that close to me, I'm only about 50 miles east of you on I-80

Testiculese · Post by **Testiculese** » Sat Oct 04, 2003 8:50 pm

Definately the Mrs.'s. I'm between cars (No more Stealth), and borrowing my dad's work truck.

Bonz · Post by **Bonz** » Sat Oct 04, 2003 8:56 pm

woot, Komps going too

Cuda68-2 · Post by **Cuda68-2** » Sun Oct 05, 2003 6:13 pm

Guess I am in also. I will be driving down from the Twin Cities in MN, about an 8 hour drive for me. If anyone is on the way I can certainly pick ya up. I also have a 4 port router, 4 port switch and a 24 port hub I can bring along. I also have a couple old servers, one is a SCSI Compaq 2500 dual p-pro and the other is an IDE dual P350.

early version of the website is now up!!

check it out!!

kurupt · Post by **kurupt** » Wed Oct 08, 2003 8:32 pm

oh yeah, you can register now too

Lothar · Post by **Lothar** » Wed Oct 08, 2003 8:50 pm

I owe my brother in Chicago a visit. I might come play some D1 if it's after finals (mid-June) so I have time to finish grading stuff. And if Mongoose is there, I'll have to make some fried chicken...

Also, you should spell "sponsor" with two o's and no e's.

kurupt · Post by **kurupt** » Thu Oct 09, 2003 11:53 pm

hey, whaddya know, he fixed it!!

register people, whether your status is doubtful or for sure, the more registered people we have, the more potential for sponsorship.

if you register and cant come, there is an option to cancel

Kur, email me your AIM nick, please. Need to talk to you re: LAN.

Hostile · Post by **Hostile** » Sun Oct 12, 2003 4:18 pm

When is this LAN actually going to be?

kurupt · Post by **kurupt** » Sun Oct 12, 2003 8:03 pm

http://www.d3chicago.com !!!

the lan wont have a date until the rock decides when califest will happen, and we confirm a spot.

hopefully we'll know soon.

kurupt · Post by **kurupt** » Fri Oct 17, 2003 2:10 pm

Ok, we have a small update:

We need people who can bring good stuff to the LAN!!

We need Switches, Servers, Computers for players flying in to be rented, extra monitors, ANYTHING!! nay, EVERYTHING!!! to be listed so I can have it added to the LAN website.

If you're planning to attend please list things you will have, somewhat in detail, and that way I can accurately see what kind of stuff we have to work with. We arent big ballin, so we need all of the help we can get. It will be rewarded if you contribute. Anywhere from waived or discounted lan fee, free strippers, free lodgings... we'll make something happen.

We need to have enough stuff from people to have a good ping for a 60+ man LAN. We don't want to have 80ms pings at a LAN

We're closing in on a good spot, and look for this LAN to happen near the end of July.

Please don't forget that this LAN is still only in the planning stages, and it WILL NOT happen if we do not get a high interest and enough equipment to have everything running smoothly. We're not big ballers here, we can't afford to go out and get a 50,000 dollar rig to LAN with. We will however try to generously compensate for any help we can get.

We looked into liability insurance, and we are undecided at this point. Do not be surprised if you have to sign a waiver before you do a keg stand

Testiculese · Post by **Testiculese** » Fri Oct 17, 2003 2:23 pm

Insurance..pffft.

I have 3 machines. I will be playing on one of them. I'll have a spare monitor. The only switch I have is an 8port.

Cuda68-2 · Post by **Cuda68-2** » Fri Oct 17, 2003 5:58 pm

I have a Compaq proliant 2500 server with dual ppro 200 cpu's, a 5x18 GIG SCSI array totaling 87 gigs HDD with 2 3com 100 nics. Right now it is wiped clean, so I can put any OS that works best for D3 server on it. I have a small numer of small switches and hubs, 1 - 4 port linksys router and a dlink 24 port 10/100 hub. 2 - 15 inch monitors and 1 - 17 inch monitor for sure. I will have more monitors available by the time this happens and can update.
I forgot about my other server - a dual PII 350 IDE rig

Sarge · Post by **Sarge** » Fri Oct 17, 2003 7:08 pm

A 24 port Linksys Switch and at least one 5 port and a server.

Also 2 extra 17" CRTs

I'll post on the site but it'll be me, my daughter and a least one other.

Neutrino · Post by **Neutrino** » Sat Oct 18, 2003 12:27 am

If I get rich between now and whenever this is. I'll be there.

Clayman · Post by **Clayman** » Sat Oct 18, 2003 12:59 am

End of July? Ooh, that's better for me, since school will be long out. I might need to borrow a computer and moniter, as I'm not sure I could bring one on a plane.

Bonz · Post by **Bonz** » Sat Oct 18, 2003 10:34 am

I have a server, 17inch monitor and a 4 port switch that I can bring.
By the time this happens I might have another machine that can be used if I upgrade by then.

Big Flopy Donky Dic · Post by **Big Flopy Donky Dic** » Sat Oct 18, 2003 4:39 pm

16 port switch
1 server computer

Lothar · Post by **Lothar** » Sat Oct 18, 2003 6:15 pm

I have 5 working 3d pro's right now. Aside from that, nothing very useful...

Neitzl · Post by **Neitzl** » Mon Oct 27, 2003 1:50 pm

I have a goofy Gateway server that I have as my Domain controller that we can probably use. If anything for DHCP. I'll see if I can scrounge up some switches here at work, though I can see some hubs we can use right off the bat, but one is a hub, i.e., euw! The other is just a 12 port switch, 10mbp ports, another euw.

Anyhow, I'm looking forward to this.

AceCombat · Post by **AceCombat** » Mon Oct 27, 2003 4:45 pm

i have a Dual P-II 400 Server with 2x 18.3 (36GB total) UltraWide SCSI drives. ill try to get that up there. thing is friggin hooge

kurupt · Post by **kurupt** » Mon Oct 27, 2003 5:35 pm

not to rain on any parades, but if we dont get more than 21 people in attendance, this aint happening.

Top Wop · Post by **Top Wop** » Mon Oct 27, 2003 5:41 pm

I have a spare 15-inch monitor.

Sarge · Post by **Sarge** » Mon Oct 27, 2003 6:12 pm

I have 2 more players that are probables...

I'm pritty sure once we set a date in stone, more people will decide to show up.

Cuda68-2 · Post by **Cuda68-2** » Wed Oct 29, 2003 8:38 pm

Just checked and it is at 22 confirmed

kurupt · Post by **kurupt** » Wed Oct 29, 2003 8:49 pm

that seems to be quite a pickle, because we arent signing anything until we are sure it will be worth it. we need 40+ for that to happen. but look for this lan to be late july, as previously stated
