I have just had a look, and coming down by train might not be out of the question. . . .

£60 return, only 1 train change at Crewe required each way and a journey time of roughly 3 and a half hours.

Someone could easily pick you up at Uttoexeter station

It's not particularly ideal but its more than do-able.

Also i'm sure it could be arranged for there to be a pc that you could use, so all you would need is clothes. a sleeping bag, and games etc.

if this could be arranged then that would be perfect
3 1/2 hours isn't too long if i pack my netbook and use the train's wifi (assuming it has it) or maybe even get an essay or 2 done on the way
so yeah, next LAN, if anyone fancies sorting me out a PC i'd be more than grateful!

One of the GameOn guys comes down from Glasgow occasionally that might be an option

There are usually some spare pc's going, Gerrard should have a spare rig, so it might be worth giving him a shout.

If its Liam (not sure I can say his GO user name here!) then I'm not sure how much of an option that might be, 200's arent particularly roomy

[listy]

dont know his 1st name but i know who you mean

place to ask is on forum(gameon) really or speak to rasher about lift he can always try and sort out a lift for you

[Gerrard]

Yep, should have my spare rig in a slightly better state for next LAN for someone to borrow. I don't have a spare montior, but I believe a couple of people here do (or did, or will. Can't remember).

Drives a purple 200SX, heavily into his Motorbikes, tallish with short hair?

[scaryjim]

I am all the way down in Manchester, Gorton to be more exact.

Then you need to attend / co-host this year's Manchester-based northwest meet / houseparty!! There's a thread about it around here somewhere...

yup i have two spares

Are you meaning http://forums.hexus.net/members/fukker.html by any chance? If yes then he had a bit of a discussion in one or the other folding threads, seems the mods didn't mind..

Yep thats the one.

[Behemoth]

Looks like you had a great time, I'm hoping I can come to the next one

[alsenior]

we wanna go for 15 people this time.

Also when playing on the hexus server did anyone notice and issues such as stuttering or lag on the server. i know latency was high-ish for everyone for everyone but did this effect the games in anyway. also if enyone wants any perticular game servers for next time you just need to ask.

Personally I didnt have any issues in game. I think there may have been some sort of network problem down the line, as myself, Rai, Gerrard? and maybe a few others kept having issues from time to time. But I can't report ever having problems with your server at all Al

[alsenior]

good good. the server will be better managed next time and the ut2k4 server should have more slots on it as this time around i did not have the ability to build a config file for it. and hopefullt i should have some new maps and mutators on it for extra win
