LAN Party

"A LAN party is a temporary, sometimes spontaneous, gathering of people together with their computers, which they network together primarily for the purpose of playing multiplayer computer games."

I even ran my own LAN Party from 2002-2003 called the Dead Gamers' Society. Now I don't have as much time to dedicate to them anymore. I still visit Caleb's LAN Parties and Quakecon in Dallas, Tx.

Behold - The DGS is back!

(This is a double post of what's on dgs.aphelionsites.net)

http://dgs.aphelionsites.net / http://dgs.sytes.net

But probably not how you're expecting it.

Instead of an outright, pay-to-play LAN party like we did in the past, I am reorganizing the DGS into the first Galactic Empire...no...I mean I am reorganizing it to give some more direction to our GarageLANs this summer. I know I am starting late, but I think it will work. Rombus and I are converting one of the now-vacant rooms in the house into a LAN room. We will have pictures of the status as we go along. Still have quite a ways to go. I know you're thinking "Aww...another website I have to go to?", but I plan to put an RSS feed from this site to darkmercury.net, so news from this site should pop up there too.

Basically, I figure that we can have LANs when and where we want, post them here and get back into LANs. It's been a while since we've had one and I hope this page will lead to more. I figure we can call ourselves the Dead Gamers' Society. Wonder where I came up with that one?

I removed the sponsors from the website on account that we have none, and replaced it with the members page. I pre-registered most people already. IM me for your passwords. Once you log in, you can post entires and change your password and account options.

This is a work in progress so stay tuned.

LAN Parties Status

Some people (mostly Rick) have expressed interest in Whempy's LAN, April 22-23, and even Quakecon, August 11-14. Please tell me or Rick if you are interested. Thank you.

Dan, start working to get the time in August off. You have been promoted. Make it happen this year.

Spring Break LAN

Yes, we need to have a LAN Party on Spring Break, and there’s only two people who make LAN Parties happen.  Me and Jo.  And I doubt Jo will do it.  I’m thinking the Saturday before we all go back to school because most people will be back from vacation by then (including me).  Please comment or IM me or something to get my hopes up.  kthx

Winter-een-mas party

So I've been getting ready for the lan party tomorrow and virtually no one is saying they can come. How is it that I keep getting requests for lan parties and when I try to organize one everyone can't come. I'm calling people and leaving messages and here is what I have so far:

Jo - Yes
Tim Halliday - yes 3pm
Tim Conway - ?
Dan Hawkins - yes needs a ride
Bob - no in PA
Will - no Best Buy
Rick - yes after 5
Yash - no point in asking
Bob Omega - no in CT
Brian - yes after 11 - Pizza Hut
Schultz - no at OSU
Nate - who?
