Prior to
wision's post regarding the cancellation of
Prague LAN #2, a sad news for every quake lover, me and
!nFerNo want to present two valid alternatives for helding a TDM LAN event.
OPTION #1 'The Storm' LAN party
The event is taking place on 10-12 October in Sint-Niklaas (Belgium) in an
awesome repurposed warehouse, with
200 available spots. !nFerNo is part of the organizers and he confirmed that a QL event will be hosted during the LAN, and this could turn into our TDM LAN.
!nFerNo is also in charge of the streaming part of the event, so there are big chances to hook up Zoot with proper streaming setup. He also wants the community to choose what kind of tournament should be held:
TDM or CTF?.
Date: 10-12.10.2014
Place: The Storm LAN party in Sint-Niklaas (Belgium)
Signup fee: 35 € per player (until 06 October)
45 € per player from 06 october
group tickets: 5 and up -10%
15 and up -20%
20 and up (contact Inferno)
Signup payment deadline: no deadline
The venue is at 't Bau-huis next to a major trainstation connecting all the big cities. European visitors can come in via Antwerp (trains Thalys, Eurostar, TGV and Deurne Airport (small airport)) or Brussels (Brussels Airport (main airport)). Of course it's also located in several intersections of autostrades (motorways) E17 and E34, Brussels via A12 to N16 or via N9 to N47 to N41.
OPTION #2 Bucharest 'Cheap beer and herbs' TDM LAN
The event will take place on 19-21 September in Bucharest (Romania) at
Discovery Arena gaming cafe where we successfully held 3 quake live 'lans' so far. Here are some
photos I saved from their
facebook page, the cafe has
32 PCs and 2 places for recreational purposes. I can talk to the owner and setup a streaming corner for Zoot.
Date: 19-21.09.2014
Place: Discovery Arena gaming cafe in Bucharest (Romania)
Signup fee: 50 € per team
Signup payment deadline: no deadline
The prices for renting the place is about 200 € per day for all the PCs, depending on signups we could use the signup fee for prizes. Also I will be able to raise money from donations.
Like I stated before, if quakers are willing to donate and to keep things simpler and safe, Wision or Memento could be in charge of donations, I could pay the rent for the icaffe from my own pocket, until the 'bank' arrives in Bucharest.
TBC (the venue is close to downtown Bucharest)
Hostel Formenerg is at 5 minutes walking distance to the iCaffe and exactly at a subway station. For 3 nights is about 90 €.

Please use
the poll in order to vote for the preferred option!
