LAN time once again

Hey all. The next LAN is set for May 22nd. I've been contemplating on how to make our parties even better. When I first started hosting these, I was happy to just get people to show up. We choose the games we played, during the day, by whoever spoke up and said what they wanted. I like this if there's only a few of us, but when the place is packed, it doesn't always work very well. I really don't like it when everyone looks around asking what we're playing next and nobody is sure. This time, I'm going to try setting a schedule. I'm not sure how strictly we'll adhere to it, but I'd like to give it a shot. What's on it now is only what I threw together in a few minutes. I don't want to be a dictator about it, so I'd like everyone's input.

First off, if you're going to suggest a game that's not on the games list, don't do it the day before. There's nothing worse than everyone spending an hour to install a game that we play for only an hour. We need some time to "aquire" it and get it installed beforehand. I'm pretty sure you all are TF2 fans, so I'm going to have 2 large blocks of time for it. One in the morning and one in the evening. I don't know about you, but that game never gets old at a LAN.

Also, some of the games are 8 player max. This can be a problem when there's more than that here. This is where it's important for you to fill out the games you want to play, on the registration form. Hopfully it works out where I can get it synced up with 2 different games going at the same time. Like 1 group playing flatout 2 while the other plays League of Legends or Demigod. You know, that kind of thing. I'll keep an eye out for your suggestions in the shout box and your registration.

After you sign up, check back every once in a while to see what games it looks like we're going to be playing. That way you won't be the one twiddling their thumbs while installing a game, just to finish in time to play the last round.
