[sp]Actual chain of events: Get pissed at hotel, pass out in room, miss entire lan event[/sp][/QUOTE]
Exactly what I'd do, so just a couple of questions I may ask a few friends if they are interested thats all.
1) So you get there 1st day and drop off PC in designated area? Do you leave the PC there all weekend? i.e. monitor and tower? You can bolt them down right?
2) they provide chairs I guess?
3) You can drink at the computer?
4) Any live music?
5) Any pay per view fights? (Drunks just going for it?)

1) You either pay for early access and turn up on thursday for an extra day or on friday which is the offical start of lan for non-early accessers. Get checked in and given your wristband, lanyard and etc. You then go and find your seat which is what you book when you pay for your ticket, they have a seat picker where you choose where you want to sit [B]before[/B] the lan so you can sit with your friends/clan etc and likeminded gamers. You then set up your pc and etc and that seat and desk is yours for the entire lan. It is recommended to bolt your stuff to the desk, yes. You get an ethernet cable to link you to the internet+the lan and one plug socket to plug into so bring an extention lead with at least 4 slots.
2)See above, your seat is more or less what the ticket books.
3)You can drink wherever you like, there is usually about 3 bars in the venue and you can both eat/drink anywhere, ORDER FOOD TO BE DELIVERED TO YOUR DESK, even be as messy as you like if that's your thing. :v:
4)On either friday and saturday there is a party night and a pub quiz + etc so plenty of chance to have a jig. The main stage always has music blasting.
5)Fights are pretty rare but anywhere with alcohol is guaranteed to have something, pot luck. :v:

6) LETS ALL GO GET SHITFACED :v:
During the other months this doesn't apply but during summer, camping and drinking at the camp site with a big group of people can be awesome, especially when the day is hot as fuark.
Sneaking in alcohol past the security guards is as easy as it would be to steal an entire pc, which is of course fucked up.
I vote a drinking sesh outside at I49 if we have enough facepunchers, also a table for the pub quiz.
Ill see what my mates think does sound like a right laugh though. Do they allow you to get seriously shit faced like beyond remembering what happens drunk?

Yeah of course they do, the only thing they are kinda hot on are drugs.
Nobody has stolen any of my shit yet, probably because it requires 2 people to steal my tank of a lan-pc.

No shit that's you, you were at last year's i46 right? I'm pretty sure I cruised down the hall and noticed a massive fucking cat staring at me every time I went back to the campsite.

Yup, that's me. I've been going to these events for going on 5 years now!

Ah yes, how can we forget Hexxeh's glorious Sax Guy projector at i42
or bengley shredding paper and passing it through the air ducting showering everyone in the row next to us in clippings
Might MIGHT be going to i49 in the summer with my bro, he lives in RLC south of brum. Do you guys do group tickets ?
So who was camping like we did?

We survived thanks to copious amounts of various narcotics and loads of video games.
Also Cosmic Duck, I'm pretty sure I saw that case there, where were you seated? I was H2-u16 or something
Can't wait for i49 there is going to be a good 25 or more of my friends going, gonna be a blast! Just gotta raise the funds and burn the time up until then! :smile:
Melonguy, props to you man. The ONE year I can afford a hotel this happens. :v:
I was going to camp with my friend, however on the first night I decided to sleep at my desk because security was shit and didn't bother me for about 5 hours, I then bought indoor sleeping when they opened more spots and spent one night on the floor which sucked, then spent one night at my friends house when we went to go visit them and stayed awake the last night,
We actually abandoned the tent at the camp site because it was dead and digging it out and wrapping it up to take home in a separate bag or whatever was going to be a huge pain in the ass.
Anyone going to I49 who plays dota?, I was thinking of maybe getting a team together for the new tournament they set up.
Any FPers doing a group ticket? Me and my brother would gladly pay in.

Never really any point doing group bookings, more things to go wrong, and the only reward is £50 worth of multiplay online services which none of us uses anyway.

Fuck it. Booked for i49.
