..for me to shout at you all about how great LANs are and why you should all come to i10. Left this a bit later than I intended to, but I think there are still about 400 placed available..
i10 is a massive LAN, biggest in the UK - basically, if a game has a multiplayer mode, there will be someone playing it. The idea is to take your PC to the Newbury Racecourse for 4 days, meet a lot of like-minded gamers, have fun and take lots of embaressing photos of drunk people to bribe them with later..
Entry is £70, which may seem fairly steep, but it does cover all 4 days, and most of the staff are volunteers - the money goes towards equipment for the next event. This is the biggest yet, 1000 gamers, should be excellent. It's also the first UK public showcase of the Xbox - 8 Xboxes running networked multiplayer Halo, each with a 50" plasma display, up to 16 players..
Tournaments of choice are Counter-Strike, Quake 3, Unreal Tournament and RTCW, but there are usually some free ones around the FTP servers and plenty of friendlies running on most other games.
If anyone's interested in this, the dates are March 29 - April 1 (Easter Bank Holiday weekend), you need your pc and some way of getting to the event - all the network kit is supplied. Be good to meet some of you there, and our CS clan is lacking a player - if anyone feels like filling this place, let me know, the only requirement is that you suck as much as the rest of us and don't take it seriously..

Ach, thats why clan lans are so good ;) Anyways, is it just me or are we the only people who even play games online :p Maybe you should post this in the PC gaming forums...
Think a descision was made to leave MOH tourneys out of i10, expect them for i11 onwards, but as I said, there will be plenty of people playing unofficially.
On another note...there is a /very/ strict no warez policy. Anyone caught trading warez over their network will have their PC confiscated and be removed fromt he event. It's been a big problem for other LANs, and if they are caught allowing it, the company can and almost certainly will be shut down - I've seen it happen to 2 others. Proposed solution was to shove giant electromagnet in the concourse and switch it on to wipe everyone's hdds when police arrived...think it got the thumbs down..

Are they including MOH yet Phil? Or are they leaving it out for now, maybe give the clan scene a bit more time to grow?
Indeed, downloading it off the server would be a brilliant speed. All sorts of warez I bet ;) Thats all I ever hear about the lans that clans in TO have, warez and "artist" pictures. Oh and beer and games :D
Killing runs a "Fun" (no prize) 5v5 TO tourney, but even games that aren't listed have alot of people playing. I didn't check last time I was there, but I know some people that do from their IRC channel - and of course, TO could be downloaded from the FTP server in a matter of minutes, so I dare say you could get more people to start playing there. Easily enough for a game anyhow..
DO many people play TO at the i series? You mentioned a few people, but I doubt its many?
I'd love to but I doubt I would be able to o.O :/
