[Announce-gamesoc] DCU Games Soc - BYOPC

by gamessoc＠redbrick.dcu.ie

Hey folks, As some of you already know we, the fine people at your local Games Society, are finally going to be running our last Test BYOPC (Bring Your Own PC) before the main events start in the new term. As such we've decided to keep the numbers down and keep it an invite only event, hence if you get this mail you're specialthere's no need to gloat about it. :) Anyway, the event itself will be kicking off on Saturday, September 3rd at around 1pm in the Venue and will continue through the night until around 3pm on Sunday. There will be a whole host of things going on from massive amounts of file leeching and nice fast web access to the most important partgaming! We'll be playing a whole selection of games from Battlefield2, Quake 3, Rome: Total War, Unreal Tournament and of course the venerable Counter-Strike. Food and drink may be brought to the event as long as you're careful with it, any spillages on other peoples machines will be resolved with a spading. Pizza will also be ordered around midnight for you lazy people with too much money. You will be required to provide your own PC however if you require a monitor we will be able to provide one, 4 way power adapters and network cable. We would also ask you to make sure you're games are fully patched before attending if at all possible. Also please make sure and disable any statically set IP addresses on your network connections (set them to "Receive IP Automatically") and disable any shared Internet connections such as your dial-up account. What we'd also like all of you to do is let us know whether you'll be attending as soon as possible as we need to inform security of the exact numbers and we also intend having the place completely set up for the required numbers before you arrive. As I've said this is a test event for future events and hence invites have been sent to you and to you alone because you are trusted "friend" of GamesSoc. This is not open to the public so don't go bringing your friends. However, if you have someone you would like to suggest who is not on the list feel free to mail us, however make sure and do it quickly! Anyway we're looking forward to seeing you all there and it should be a fantastic event. Regards, Simon Kilroy Secretary DCU Games Society
