[IMG]http://puu.sh/2kU8m/e4754e5671[/IMG] [IMG]http://puu.sh/2kU8Z/c8b8e14799[/IMG] Its that time again when insomnia is just around the corner, mere hours away. Just curious to see if any facepunchers are going. Gonna be a blast as always! [URL]http://iseries.multiplay.co.uk/[/URL]
Don't think there's a concerted effort for i48 but I know one is definitely in motion for i49 this autumn
maybe if they weren't £100~
I like how our event can say "Worlds largest".
It was too much money for this poor bloke. :(
I'm probably going to i49 to play tf2.
So expensive, we should have organised a team ticket on Facepunch so it would only be £55.
FP has organised Summer insomnia's since i34 (maybe earlier), and most of us get Early Early Bird for like, a 20% discount.
Coming to i49, not i48.
I may come to i49 and play in the TF2 tournament, but that depends entirely on my economy.
Couldn't make i48 but making plans for i49 It will be awesome!
Last day tomorrow, should all be headed home in the afternoon, there has been fucking cunt thieves nicking people's stuff again left right and center, luckily nobody in my group got hit. Despite that it's been awesome, I can definitely feel my liver hating my lan antics :v: And now the wait for i49 begins, can't wait!
[QUOTE=cosmic duck;40028292]Couldn't make i48 but making plans for i49 It will be awesome![/QUOTE] Man you got me going to these events, first went to i45 last year. I'll be going to i49 with around five-ish of my mates, hopefully the indoor resting area will be bigger for under eighteens as from what I've seen on the forums it's only for 16 people. I'm not sleeping in a tent again, this weekend has completely put me off as I've seen tents collapsed on the forums and walking through rape alley and back is too much effort at 6am. Not to mention the temperature being just above freezing, even in the summer.

The under 18 rest area is tiny in comparison to the over 18 but if you get in there quick it should be alright. I agree when people say the campsite and the walk to it is shoddy, so glad I got a hotel this time, 12 inches of snow or something ridiculous!
i'm here right now, x29 if your still about, will be going to i49 as well

I've heard most people go with the International Hotel. Might consider it than sleeping on a floor. Actually thinking of it, we can't do the indoor resting area anyway due to one of our people being under 16. Fuck.

Fuck.[/QUOTE] As many as you can cram/sneak in really, like the hotel never checks who you are taking with you. A lot of ours have been lodging on each other's floors. I'd say 4/5 max to a twin bed room, 3 being ideal. Otherwise it will be fairly crowded, obviously you just put your do not disturb sign up to stop housekeeping walking in and you'll be fine.
Me and my friend were talking about going but I'm not keen on taking my PC and my monitor since they are both huge and I think I would have my fill after a day or two. Let alone the amount it costs.
another thing to be cautious about if you come is how much you spend on food and drinks, I spent fuck tons this lan.
I literally have 1 quid left after taking 200, literally all of that went on food and alcohol.
Oh you guys...

From what I read on the multiplay forums: mostly mice and easily lifted valuables that you could easily just swipe without anyone realising. There was an extreme case of RAM being stolen and an attempted graphics card theft but that is rare.
Yeah, the TIC security was a joke, the food they provided also was a joke, stone willies however provided the goods anyway. We should make a thread for I49, I'm going to try and volunteer as part of the crew for some work experience/all round goodness.

I'd notified them about a couple of ballsy folk that had left unplugged keyboards and etc on their desks just asking to be nicked, showed them and asked if maybe they could get them taken to a safe place or at least keep an eye on them when we can't for them. More or less lied and didn't really listen, never saw security near our row again. On the way in and out I could see bags not being checked, merely patted down which really isn't going to help find anything suspicious at all, to be honest it seems like they are only looking for booze. Today when we were finally leaving the guy didn't even get me to open my bag, let alone touch it. This is a hard and pretty big suitcase which actually had most of my pc components in it along with my clothes. He turns to me "theres just clothes in there yeah?" So I just said yeah and off I went, didn't even check. Now if I was a scumbag and had taken some valuables, blimey that would have been a cakewalk.[/QUOTE]
Just looking at Orcywoo's quote from the multiplay forum, why are they specifically checking for booze if they have -18 areas and 18+. Im guessing they sell overpriced piss larger on site? Never been to one of these things, they sound a blast. Get drunk 3 days or w/e it is and play games right?

[editline]26th March 2013[/editline] I'd also like to add that it is nothing to do with multiplay, it is the venue management that is trying to fuck us over, multiplay are the good guys.
Seems I missed it or something. Damn,.
Bring beer in car, get pissed at hotel, walk to lan hall. [sp]Actual chain of events: Get pissed at hotel, pass out in room, miss entire lan event[/sp]
