THE IDEA: ORGANIZE AND PLAY A LAN PARTY.
As rYuuJiN mentioned on the Urban Terror Forums Topic we should go one step further with Urban Terror and organize a "global" or at least "european" Lan Party.
I would consider a good Location would be somewhere near Amsterdam in the Netherlands, as most of the German, French and UK Players and many others could get there easily.
I am not able to organize every little bit of this Event, I could help but we all would have to look how we could manage that.
I would plan it generally as:
- a Party in a medium to big Hall
- a BYOC (Bring your own Computer) Event
- a Event to promote Urban Terror all around the World.
- a Event to play some high-skill Nations Cup Matches or something like that with a Live Commentary
We could also:
- hold "some speech / panel" about Configs, How to solve Problems with Urban Terror and other UrT-related things.
- promote some Players to Clans
- Make some Movies of the Event and promote them around the World
- give courses on the some of the Thematics like "Jumps", "Tactics", "Weapons" and much more.
Like *THC*Vortex said:
It would be cool if a few people with money and/or the right connections could organize a series of lan tournaments leading to one lan tournament in a pre-determined location featuring the top players/teams from around the globe.
World Series of Urban Terror anyone?
so what we would need:
Some "Lead Planning Team", ( <-- IMPORTANT )
a Place and Time (a Weekend from Friday to Sunday or some time in global Holidays would be good),
many Power-Cables and enough to not make all the computers go off because of more power needed.
many ethernet-cables, switches and more...
a Connection to the Outernet or atleast some Game-, Root- and Voip-Servers at the Place where we would be,
many Tables and Chairs, some Place to sleep over the Night (if someone of you might need sleep)
maybe a stage with some Lights to hold some Speech or sth like that.
a Place to cook for many people, or a Restaurant nearby.
Some WC's to Camp if you drunk too much
Some "Fix your Own Computer"-Place with Supporters.
MORE to ADD! (:
Would anyone be with me in this Idea?
What about the "Lead UZ Staff" knowing everything and Promoting it to all the Clans and Players?
What about MORE?
Add your Suggestions and I might edit this Post and pack them in here!
We need your Feedback!
