Uhh... hi. I am awake. Honest. My project partner at uni would be forgiven for not believing me, but I really am awake.

Thanks to the 30-odd that came to the event. You guys are awesome.

Thanks to these third parties for their assistance in making the event as successful as it was:
- Bendigo Party Hire (for tables! - these guys are awesome! Seriously!)
- 410Sqn Australian Air Force Cadets (for allowing us to hire their PA + projector. Many thanks!)
- Glenn Carter (for running tables around on Friday with his awesome trailer skills!)

Many more thanks to anyone who helped out in any way - from putting their rubbish in the bin as they packed up, to staying until we locked the hall after packup. A great big love to everyone!

Congratulations to our prize winners of the LAN'asplode Ultimate Tournament of Ultimate Gaming Supremacy:
1st - Rothaom, danced away with an uber nerf gun
2nd - MadSnakes, barrel rolled away with a slightly less uber nerf gun
3rd - FknCreg, flew out with a 6 shooter nerf gun

Other competition winners walked away with some coke (so we're poor, ok?): Morpha won Flatout and the sleeping bag race; Nyarlathotep won UT99 (no surprises there); Banladna won the nerf gun duel; Rothoam won C&C3 and BaboViolent2; Phobos scored highest on the quiz.

Simo has kindly put up a partial time lapse of the event. Remind yourself of the victorious event for years to come by watching this video daily.

That's all for now, and see you next LAN,
-The Team

Greetings.

Tomorrow evening shall commence the greatest event known to Bendigo. 7PM is the time you should make yourself present at Trades Hall.

We will be running a multi-round tournament throughout the event, featuring games from multiple genres and events on both nights. The overall winner gets a decent prize. Individual winners get something small.

There's still a couple of seats left, so if you have a friend that wants to come, there's still space! Invte them along, get them to register, I'll close the seating tomorrow morning some time to give you some time.

Rules are to be abided by at all times, just a reminder. They are a condition of entry.

And following are the usual pre-LAN reminders
UPDATE STEAM
OFFLINE MODE STEAM
UPDATE GAMES
ANTIVIRUS
DEFRAG
NO WHEELIE CHAIRS (unless you bring flooring to go underneath it)
ETC
ETC
ETC

SEE YOU THERE.

Greetings,

Firstly, the rules of attending the event have been slightly tweaked.

The event is this Friday. If you plan on bailing on us, make sure you unregsiter your seat. If you want to come, register up a seat. We added a few more last night, so you even have space to move around if you're not next to your friend!


We're starting at 7PM. Come earlier if you want, but you'll be expected to help (if stuff still needs doing). Come and go throughout the event as you please, but be awesome and stay both nights.

The cost of entry is $20, flat rate. Two hours or two days, $20.

See you there
-The Team

After quite a long time, our headest of head admins has decided to step down, and will no longer be involved in the LAN to LAN runnings of Asplode.

I would like to say thanks for all the work over the years, and have fun doing whatever it is you do while not LANing.

Greetings!

Registrations for LAN'asplode v... whatever ... are now open.

The LAN is in two weekends time - March 26th-28th. We'll be starting late on the Friday, around 5 or 7PM; we'll let you know specifics closer to the date.

Cost of entry is $20.

Standard rules apply.

Registration on the seating plan is key.

We'll be having an ongoing tournament over the event over a variety of games - nothing too serious, just a bit of fun. Smacktard will be partially tied in to this. Exact details will be given at the event.

Do not count on the LAN'asplode store being open. We may have a few small things like lollies or coke, but anything more is unlikely.

That is all for now. Any questions, feel free to ask on our forums or reply to this email.

Peace out, bros.
-The LAN'asplode team
