Supported by Dragon PC
We will have $20 Dragon PC vouchers to give away at prize giving which will be held at Saturday midnight. Four vouchers will be given away as spot prizes.

Organised gaming
We'll be hosting organised gaming for everyone to join in and have a spot of fun. It's not compulsory to join of course, but you know, the more the merrier! Each organised event is scheduled to run for two hours, but if everyone wants to continue onwards then that's certainly not a problem.

  • Friday 9pm til 11pm: Call of Duty 4 (If I can get my hands on Modern Warfare 2, then we'll switch to that instead). Organised by Solid Snake.
  • Friday Midnight till Saturday 2am: Crash Day version 1.0. Organised by CommanderK.
  • Saturday 3am till Saturday 4am: Grand Theft Auto 2. This is a free game released by Rockstar from ages ago. You can download it here. Organised by Maximinus.
  • Saturday 9am till 11am: Freelancer + Discovery 4.85 (No updates). Organised by Orillion.
  • Saturday 2pm till 4pm: Starcraft: Broodwar (v1.161). Organised by CommanderK.
  • Saturday 9pm till 11pm: Worms World Wide Party. This is always great fun. Hope no body spams the dreaded concrete donkey! Organised by Solid Snake.
  • Sunday 1am till 3am: Demigod. Like DoTA but not. Organised by Elle T

BBQ
We'll be hosting two BBQ sessions.

The first one is held on Saturday 11am till 1pm. There will be free sausages, bread and tomato sauce ... but if you want to have steaks or anything special feel free to bring some along and put them on the barbie. South City New World is really close by if you need to get anything.

The second one is held on Saturday 6pm till 8pm. There won't be any free sausages, but definitely feel free to bring some of your own meat, vegetables or anything else you want to put on the barbie. South City New World is really close by if you need to get anything.

Drinks and munchies for sale
For your convenience we have carry some stocks of food to feed you while everyone else sleeps.

  • Coke for $1.50
  • Mountain Dew for $1.50
  • Inferno (Big Cans) for $2.00 (They're dated by about 1 month ... but we all know these things survive a nuclear bomb)
  • Bags of lollies for $2.00
  • Coffee, Hot Chocolate, Milo or Tea for $1.00
We're going to be adding some more to that list, so keep watching this space!

Tournaments
Nothing is scheduled yet, but there's still to make sure we've got one running for this lan.

Car parks
We know how hard it can be to get car parks in town. I've managed to secure another nine car parks within the same location as us. $10 a car park for the entire lan. Let me know early and I will reserve one for you. Either message me here on the site or email me at james@L3.net.nz .

Computer

Hey guys, I am new to L3 and probably at the worst time, My motherboard just recently blew up so hopefully I can get a new one by the time the LAN comes around.

I like to peel the skin off the rabbits I catch, especially cute little bunnies like you.

Welcome to L3! Yeah,

Welcome to L3!

Yeah, hopefully you can get a new one to make it in time for the next large L3, however we're always hosting smaller events in between as well so feel free to drop on by.

Hope you enjoy lanning with us.
