||StickLAN|| - In the Future!!!
Hello boys and girls! If we were to expand to make StickLAN lots bigger, we would probably need to take over a hall for the numbers. LOCATION - Tony Clark Reserve PROS Big-arse tables - these tables are difficult to transport and could only be used at this location. Dividable Rooms - the two division walls in the meeting rooms would be best for Clan battles. 2nd Storey - The upper level can have a cable run up to provide a good place for admin to watch over proceedings in the basketball court, or we can jam more people there. CONS Power - we would need an electrician to bring the ampage to something more usable to us. extension cords and 3-phase power are our friends. I think Whitey said he could arrange for an electrician to do this for us at a reduced price (or free), but it is a matter of if they would let us mod the building in this fashion :) If we could get the people to come, it would be only a problem of raising enough capital (loot) to be able to buy the equipment needed. We would need to look at funding from the council or a youth group (and then the 'no file-sharing') or from an indepent, which practically won't exist. It is a fairly hefty undertaking, and I wouldn't like to do it as a main organiser due to the legal implications of the game sharing and such. It's all very well and good to say 'nar, she'll be fine, just do it', but it's not your necks on the line... This may be a future for StickLAN, but right now it's a reliable event that holds more than your average house. If it were to expand, it would need your help. If we could get the money from people a while before the event, and have confirmed numbers, we could improve the events by leaps and bounds. What do you lot say to paying one month early for events and paying via Paypal(tm)?

I guess that should be OK. I have an account with Paypal already and a spare bank account with the commonwealth with an EFTPOS card tied to it. I could open up a new acccount with paypal under the ||StickLAN|| email address (what the hell is it again?). I could throw these things together for ||StickLAN|| 6 and enable to have people pay us via netbanking, which I would hope all geeks and nerds already use. We could just lock a post for the upcoming LAN and enter people's names there when we recieve payments from them. We should charge $10 for those paying via the net and $20 for those paying on the day. That'll give people incentive to use the facility. Even if we get everyone paying before hand, we'll still get about $400 (40 people) which covers the cost of the hall (which is the really important thing). Anything spare can be another gigabit switch, as Centrecomm has them for $166 for an 8-port...

and just so u know you cant hook up computer through 3 phase power :P as thats 415v which is used for things that if they where on single phase would draw alot of amps ( such as big motors, welders etc ) maybe a super massive computer. I think what you ment to say was that there is several circuts

Paradoxian- 01-09-2006

I think what you ment to say was that there is several circuts No, actual 3-phase. whe then need a big fuck-off power board to distribute the amps :)

Billy- 01-09-2006

Paradoxian- 01-09-2006

Billy- 01-10-2006

Well... good cos otherwise i would have done something stupid like go to macedon first :( even though its the less likely to be at... also how is the numbers looking? are we going to have more than 15 people this time? Also just as a small side note, I talked pickles (mat nickles, for those of you who dont know him), who works for the local papers...express...the leader etc... to come out and cover sticklan... take a few pics write up a small artical about it... you know spread the word, he said he would come out so ill keep reminding him!
