Finally after 8 years of amazing Lanning we've hit the Milestone of 50 lans, So this one will be a biggie! We're going all out - More prizes, more gaming and more services for you to enjoy. L3 is proudly supported by Comics Compulsion, Dragon PC, GameStation and South City Mall.
Internet
Internet access should allow you to log into Steam, check your emails and use chat clients like mIRC. Everyone will get a cap of 50 mb to use however they want. Please make sure you have your Steam games updated prior to coming to the lan as they tend to be quite large patches!
Intranet
The intranet has been updated once again with all of the latest game patches and free games. If you wish to ensure that the intranet has patches for your game of choice, please send us an email or let us know.
Discounts from South City's McDonalds, Subway and Sushi Time
South City Mall are giving you 20% off if you purchase food from McDonald's, Subway or Sushi Time from within the mall over the entire weekend. You'll be given three 20% discount vouchers initially but if you need more, please feel free to ask the admin team to print more for you.

Hopefully it works out, and if it does then we can enjoy more Steam exclusive games in future.
Prizes: These organised games have prizes attached to them.
BYO + Depending on interest: If you do buy some food from New World that you would like to be cooked on the BBQ please let us know. Even if there is only just you, we'll still fire up the BBQ just for you.

I will come this time :D
Can't wait.
17 NZFortress members confirmed to be coming so far, should end up being about 20.
http://www.nzfortress.co.nz/forum/showthread.php?t=21012
Looking forward to it.
I recgonise a few of those names from the good old days of Team Fortress Classic :D
Hope is the denial of reality. It is the carrot dangled before the draft horse to keep him plodding along in a vain attempt to reach it.
crowbarrrrrrrrr
YESSSSSSS!
Eagle, Quiksilva, Cryo, Ohraz, shit this is going to be like old times.
Anyone keen for some Frontline Force?
The NZF crew will be there from late Saturday afternoon, obviously some will be there the whole LAN :)!
Is there anywhere I can read up about the SC tourny? I'm not familiar with standard protocols
Ahh, this is going to be huge, can't wait!
I'm still constructing the tournament. I will be announcing the rules and details very soon. Stay tuned.
*is wondering if she should be nervous about securing a seat* >.>
Starcraft Tournament sign up!
You're registered so you'll be fine - unregistered people will likely be turned away if the sign ups hit the limit.
What is the limit?
++ Divide By Cucumber Error. Please Reinstall Universe And Reboot ++
*seconds*
95, as far as I am aware.
When did the sign ups close for this i only got approved today
They closed this morning.
I am teh Intanetz
Well bother with 97 people i thought i would still have a 1 in 3 chance to get in :( have fun
Actually someone changed the limit without checking about the actual day split numbers.
So there is 3 places left - sign ups reopened
damn been out all day missed out again grrrrr i was gonna make cupcakes to
Oh no, Sleepy G needs a spot :D
If there is room on Saturday night (ie people leave / no show) can he front up on the day?
Cheers.
We're very, very full. It's not just about the space, but networking and power as well. It also won't be fair to people who have signed up. We'll have to play it by ear unfortunately.
epic amount of signups, =D
Still able to sneek in?
Cant seem to find the sign up form.
No we are sold out.
We can not garrenty anymore seats.
If you want to be put on a waiting list pm me your name & cellphone number. We will text you if a space opens - but its likely to be only for a single night space - not whole lan. And don't expect to get said text untill we're 100% sure - so it may be a late night text (ie after 10pm)
Hey guys I was wondering if anyone knew what RTS is it where all of your people are cars (no people :P) I was informed it may be dune? about 10 years old aparantly? Where the main objective is to mine dust? and you can be in space too?
Anyway.
If anyone has any idea what it is I would love it if someone who doesn't have to worry about their net cap could try find it for the lan?
Heh, TY.
The only RTS I can think of off the top of my head that had space and ground battles is Star Wars Empire at War.
Dune 2 back in the early 90s had men as well as vehicles. Dune 2000 had men as well as vehicles and I don't remeber any space missions in it. Dunes resource was Spice, to quote the movie (or the book) - "He who controls the spice, controls the universe!"
I haven't seen the movie but I did read the book years ago.. all I remember from it is Muad'dib and his blue eyed girl :P
I'm asking on behalf of a friend (as I'm trying to get her to game with me) thanks for responding!
I hate to beg on here. But if anyone has a spare guest pass for TF2 could they send it to steamid: SynthetiCyclone i'd really appreciate it.
I will be attending in a purely Observational basis now, as my PC has gone tit up.
With over 11 viruses on it, an AV that wont clean it, a 4yo Windows install and severe instability, I'm just not game to risk everyone elses systems.
http://www.mrht.org.nz
Midland Rail Heritage Trust always looking for young fit strong volunteers for Railway related labouring
I've signed you down ONeill so that it gives someone a chance to attend the lan.
Space Rangers?
Can the last spot be given to sleepy g (as per request above). Ill try contact him.
I was informed there was an extra spot is this true?
Sorry - there were a couple of extra spots over the past couple of days, but they've all been snapped up, as signups reopened and have since closed again. Keep an eye out, as there could always be last-minute sign-downs tomorrow, but at present we're full.
The wise and mystical Bearded combust promised me the hundredth slot so yeah...
yeah sleepy, i saw it was at 100 signed up, then it was at 99 so i assume you can sign up?!
_b Great stuff guys. Thanks heaps. Expect NZF to be semi-regulars!
yah awesome lan, look forward to the next one
hopefully next one we can get in more TF2. ^_^
