I have never been to one of these before and I've got a few questions about the LAN room.

* Is there going to be having event sanctioned games to play, or is it up to the attendees?
* Is there going to be dedicated servers to run stuff on, or is it going to be up to the attendees to host games?
* Am I going to need to bring any cash to get in?
* What kind of equipment is going to be there and what do we need to bring other then our computers?

[The Night Bringer]

Ah man that sounds fun, sadly I have to work every saturday from 8:30 PM to 5:00 AM. That kind of kills my chances of going.

*edit* I didn't see that it started at noon, I might be able to make an appearence after all!

[Kimiski]

Just a heads up rarnom, we should definetly air out the DDR room before the rave. X.X

*edit*
We are running America's Army.  w00t

* Is there going to be dedicated servers to run stuff on, or is it going to be up to the attendees to host games?

There is always a dedicated server, but the players NEED to be good about not doing other stuff while on the server so as to not slow it down.

* Am I going to need to bring any cash to get in?

Nope. Never.  Our events are always FREE.  BUT, we do really like it when attendees bring some food/snacks to share with everyone.  So bring food.  

* What kind of equipment is going to be there and what do we need to bring other then our computers?

Bring your own powerstrip and ethernet cable.  That should do you well.

True, we wouldn't want another BO2 emergency...

If this is a "Rave" do we have to bring our own ecstasy and is any one going to try and put a Rolphy in my soda.  And will there be a Zombie attack like the Rave in house of the dead and special guest clint howard.



Von "your aunt dont need to slip me a Rolphy" Dan

Edit:

Adendum

Every one wear a surgical mask so we can all pretend to be Rarnom or a MK Ninja, then at midnight we all take our mask off to find the real Rarnom

[superjaz]

yay lans are so fun ..lans are so fun i like lans cuz they are so fun

omg, that is a great idea.  I should TOTALLY dress up as my avatar.  but note it is a dust mask not a surgical mask...

When I worked at a Hospital the mask I had to wear for Isolation when moving infected patients or to prevent blood splater in my mouth looked the same as your dust mask.

as most of the pepale there are also anime fans there is often some cosplay and this time it's right before halloween so cosplay is required.

And I just noticed the title of this thread mentions Masquerade Ball, Cosplay is short for something like Costume Masquerade Play

Anything else in the lineup? I could play AA for 10 hours no problem, but it would get boring after a while.

Oh, is there going to be Net access in case we want to play a steam game (DoD:Source!! Woo). I promise not to play WoW and help lay the smack down on anyone that does. (Grr WoW, the bane of LAN parties everywhere.)

[superjaz]

lans are fun they have food that we bring and we watch anime and play ddr and play games and watch scary movies and yes we cosplay!!!!
me and kendo boyfriends first date was the january meetings lan

Well, actually we don't care too much if folks WoW it up.  What has caused problems in the past is file sharing or downloading of ginormous files that slows everyone down.  Usually people just playing games is fine.

What you should do is just ask the folks running the LAN and ask them once you get there.  

I really wish I could tell you more, but I have very little to do with the planning/execution of the LAN part of LANime.  

I am more of the 'ime' guy.  if that makes any sense. :?

So as far as guardianship consent goes. A parent can just grab a piece of paper write "I parent of such and such give my consent for such and such to be there guardian if there are any problems here is my phone number #" Would that be okay? Or is there going to be a specific consent form to print out like for kumoricon?

[corpsic beauty]

so...you have to cosplay?
cuz the only reason one of my friends may go is because you don't have to cosplay.....

[rarnom]

Obviously nobody HAS to cosplay, but it is encouraged because of the time of the year and etc...  Feel free to wear regular clothes.

We'll accept that.

Im debating weather to come in the cosplay I wore to Kumoricon or not.
Is there definetly a Cosplay contest? Like hallway or skit form?

There won't be a full on 'talent show' like competition like in events past, but there will definately be a 'hallway' judging.  There might be a smaller cosplay contest in a seperate room later in the evening if there is interest shown at the event.

[Runa]

Looks like you've reserved a slew of rooms. Coolness  

Er, which room has space for the COSTUME workshop?  I was planning to drag along my sewing machine and some fabric and have fun working on costumes that I need to have ready for OryCon.  We can share with some other group of course...I know I'll be wanting to at least listen in on some of the anime being shown, and don't want to be isolated in a corner... if there's no space reserved, I'll just park myself in a random spot that has sufficient light and available table space.

Who else is planning to work on costumes or needs costuming help??  

[Vondan]

If they just come in jeans and a t shirt they can secretly cosplay as a kid in most any HS anime when they go do something on the week end in regular cloths.

As far as costume making I think you could put yourself in one of the following two rooms:
-109-The food and J-Pop room which has good table space, ample lighting, and isn't ever super crowded.
-110-The manga/tabletop gaming room gets a little more crowded, but if you don't take up a whole lot of space, you should be able to find a spot.

The other rooms won't be really set up for stuff like that mostly because they will be either:  too dark or have no table space.

Hey gang! I will be bringing one if not two computers to make & share AMVs. If anyone wants to try a project or make a short snippet for the K2007 multieditor project (HINT!) then come on over & say hello!

Spindrift secured some space for some j-horror but I don't think we found much to show in that room. If you PM her you may be able to use that room. You'll have a projector and all their video equipment to play with.

If there is a shortage of J-Horror from you folks, some of our staff are bringing films as well.  We would really prefer to have that room dedicated to J-Horror for most of the event since we have been advertising it on our flyers.

What you could very easily set up on and use is a nice projector and screen in the manga/art room.  That one is always available.

Just remember that ONLY OUR STAFF is allowed to touch/operate the video equipment or the computers.  We have had problems at past events with random people installing codecs and other stuff in the computers and that is a BIG no no with the college.  So, if you do plan on doing any AMV stuff, find me and we'll help you get set up.

[corpsic beauty]

i'm heartbroken now
my aunt refusess to take me
so i can't go
unless if someone gives me a ride
but no one around here is going
so i can't go  :cry:
and i had my costume all planned out too.....

[Kimiski]

You know what we could do in future events that would be cool.
A small AMV contest in the room where the anime shows.

To make sure its small, it's only open to people who come and like the first few people who submit. We could start off with just like two categories.

Hello fellow J-Horror Fans.

I have a growing collection of J-Horror Movies and I just want to know for the record Sub, Dub or American remake?  


Right now I have 4 J-Horror Movies and I will release a list in another week to give time for people whom want to offer up their movies and are okay with it being abused by the watching masses.  I trust Eric and his crew to be safe with My movies but I will be putting my name and contact information on my stuff so if you wanting to offer your movie please for your sake put your name and info on the Disk.

:-)  

Love always

I am glad you can make it!  There is always lots of stuff to do.  There will be an anime room as well and there is always random stuff happening that is cool.

[Geirr]

We have had problems at past events with random people installing codecs and other stuff in the computers and that is a BIG no no with the college.  So, if you do plan on doing any AMV stuff, find me and we'll help you get set up.

Actually I am intending to work on projects, running off a monitor. (AMV fan-creation station!) If there's interest, I might switch to showing stuff - I've got about 40GB of AMVs going back about 5 years.

Definitely grok the no-no's on installing malware/codecs!

That sounds perfect!  Thanks for letting me know what you have in mind.  Once you are there we can definately find you a nice space to set up your stuff.  I still think that the manga/art room would be the best space for it.  Good lighting and usually a good amount of space.  coolies.

[superjaz]

yes we will demand amv showing and chris is intersted in your amv project

OMFG, that'd be so awesome if we got a subbed version of the DeathNote movie downloaded (since I don't think the DVD's out yet, is it?)

I'm sure there's a raw -with quite an annoying watermark on it the whole time =.=- on YouTube if you search "Death Note Movie", but it still has yet to be subbed... I'm sure there are many people working on it, though~

[Kimiski]

Whoo Hoo... ERIC!

Justin and I told our whole Japanese class about Lanime, and we got 4 people to come!! Tee hee... its going to be awesome!
