These rules apply to
everyone attending.
They can change without notice.
1. Everyone
must have their own
computer. That means no sharing. It's fine if someone wants to watch
for a while. But, we can't have people without a computer, hanging
around all day.
2. Roaches...I hate to have to bring this up, but it's a
concern that must be addressed. I've been to enough people's houses to see the occasional roach infestation. Please don't deny that you have them and bring them here in your computer. You're coming to my house. My wife won't let me host another LAN if it gets invaded. She's
already warned me. I'd prefer that you refrain from coming at all, if you have them. If life just isn't complete without attending the LAN, you need to at least take your computer
apart and thoroughly clean it out. This means checking behind the front bezel and in the power supply too.
3. You must have the required
games to attend. Make sure you check out the list
before you sign up. In the past, I've had people
come who didn't have the games we were playing. See rule #3 to
understand why this one is so important.
4. You must play with the group,
whenever possible. If there's 9 of us in the room. I expect 9 people
in the game. At one party, we were playing TF2. The teams were 3 on
3. How could that be, there were 9 people? One was playing Spore, a
single player game. The other two were playing CS, together on the
internet. I
don't want to be a mean dictator. But, that should have been a 4 on 5
game. Not joining in with the group and playing on the Internet or
another game, will not be tolerated. I don't care if it's not your
favorite. CoD4 isn't my favorite. I'm usually the one at the bottom
of the score list. But, I still play it. This is what makes small LANs funner than the big ones. Everyone's in.
5. You are responsible for your actions and equipment. We
are not liable for anything that happens to you or your equipment.
6. You must sign our waiver to be able to attend our
events.
7. Do not bring alcohol. It's not that type of event. You'll have a great time without it.
8. Please be so kind as to put your computers on the floor, with only your
monitor, keyboard, and mouse on the table. I'm not going to
say anything to you if you do. It's just courteous to your neighbor. No one
likes sitting next to
the guy, who's computer is taking up half of the table.
9. Do not attempt to steal items from the event or anyone
else. Legal consequences will be a result.
10. Viewing of adult content, in any form, will not be
allowed. Minors will be present that do not need to see it. If you're
going to leech it from someone. Wait until you get home to sort through
it.
11. Act in a responsible and mature fashion. We want good
sportsmanship in a fun environment. It's ok to smack-talk a little.
Just don't get offensive with it.
12. Please keep the cussing to a minimum. I understand a
occasional slip of the tongue, when you've just been pwned, but
excessive foul language isn't cool.
13. No horseplay, no running around, and no throwing things.
This room is filled with thousands of dollars worth
of fragile equipment. You could damage something very easily. Therefore,
no
wrestling matches, no affectionate tussles, no tossing disks or
foosballs
around. You break it you bought it. Obviously, violence of any sort
will lead to instant
ejection and a permanent ban.
14. Smoking is only permitted outside of the building.
15. Cheating is not tolerated. I'm not talking about using hacks to get you all the weapons in Call of Duty. Those are ok. I'm talking about aim bots and speed hacks. The kind of thing that makes it no fun for everyone else playing the game.
16. Do not bring any type of hacks/viruses/etc. to the event.
17. Listen to those in charge.
18. We reserve the right to remove anyone from the premises for
any reason we see fit. |
