    Lan Parties? last Lan party I went to was around 2001.

    • +49

      Then have I got the opportunity for you!

    • Not sure how they go with modern setups, would be hard to seat people with all the 49" monitors.

      • We manage. Some people absolutely bring 49inch monitors.

    Any plans for Sydney? I'd absolutely get on this

    • +10

      We do, but not in the first half of 2023.

    • +3

      Is that not something to be proud of? Even energy drinks are poison

    • TIL gamers don't take adderall

    • It indicates the type of ppl they want to attend ++ held in a church.

      • even trying to obtain a temp liqour licence for a local community hall == too much effort.

      Been to few LAN events in late 1990's - early 2000's … Was always ppl drinking alcohol, just a typical - "as long as not seen approach".

        That's just 7up right?

    • Is there competitor testing?

    • I was referring more to the "no drugs" but probably deserve to get negged for buying into stereotypes

      • +4

        It's a venue requirement to have that disclaimer on our marketing material.

        • Ah cool, makes sense

  • +2

    No Pes or Fifa?

    • No Fortnite too😩

      • Really? No Fortnite? I suppose the game doesn't have a LAN mode.

        • Weird because they have Fall Guys on there.
          One of the organizers must be anti-fortnite.

          • @Agret: @Jabob Care to comment?

            • @DontNeedThis: No one is anti-fortnite. We just have to make some judgement calls. As an over-18 event we've found less demand for Fortnite than other games, and its also more challenging to run (needing to apply for a custom server key and whatnot).

  • Says Chess is the only board game, but there's a pic with Catan etc
    Is there more than just chess?

    • +2

      Chess is the only large-scale board game tournament we hold, but we run heeeeeaps of board games.

  • They have Age Of Empires. Damn, wish it is in Sydney.

    • I wish that I can find baby sitter …

    • No, u wish u lived in heatherdale

      • Like, as in near Mitcham? bc Heatherdale, while having a station, is not a suburb, the station is named that solely bc of the road, Heatherdale Road, it lives on.

    Just curious, what is your typical split (based on previous events) between PC and Console tickets…..?

    • +3

      Probably 70% BYOC tickets.

  • Wishing this was in Newcastle

  • If my opponent swears or blasphemes when I pwn them, do they get kicked out coz it's in a church? XD

  • Are the AFK tickets also the spectator tickets? Any spectating at all?

    • Yeah spectator would be covered under AFK.

  • Why only two weeks notice? Would be good to know this months in advance so people can plan around it, I would have love to come to this. Just a suggestion for next time if possible!

      You can sign up for our mailing list, join our Discord, and like us on Facebook. This way you get a lot more notice.

      But I try not to overdo it on Ozbargain because I don't want to annoy people.

  • Given it's alcohol and drug-free, any reason it's 18+ and not open to younger players (like 16+)?
    Do you ever run anything for under 18s?

    • There's a few reasons. Insurance, venue requirements for U18 events, having to manage content, etc.

      We can facilitate U18s on a case by case basis if they are accompanied by a parent/legal guardian.

  • Just out of interest, what's your typical internet connection at these kind of events?
    Also +1 interest for Sydney events

    • +1

      It's a business NBN connection.
