[The Evil One]

With a little over a week to go until our event at SupaNova, we've got a bunch of announcements to make for the event!

First but certainly not least, the tournament timetable for the event has been released!

• Sat 12:00 - Audio Surf
  
• Sat 14:00 - Call of Duty 4 FFA
  
• Sat 18:00 - Trackmania Nations
  
• Sat 20:00 - WarCraft 3 DoTA
  
• Sun 00:00 - Guitar Hero
  
• Sun 00:00 - Quake 3 Endurance
  
• Sun 02:00 - Halo 3
  
• Sun 06:00 - Super Smash Bros
  
• Sun 08:00 - Unreal Tournament 3 FFA

In order to make sure competitions run as smoothly as possible, and to make sure we can give everyone awesome prizes - all the tournaments at this event will promote a single winner!

Prizes for the event are being provided by our generous sponsors over at Direct Fusion Technologies, Thermaltake, Anyware Computer Accessories, Cyber Snipa, Crucial Memory, TP-Link and Logitech!

Additionally, we've taken your feedback from the last SupaNova event and are currently working with the staff there to ensure that snacks throughout the day will be available to LAN patrons without requiring entry to the expo, and at a reasonable price.

For those who do want to visit the SupaNova Pop Culture Expo - we've also negotiated a cheaper entry price for only $10 for WALAN patrons!

If you haven't already registered and prepaid for the event, make sure you do so immediately to secure your seat. At around only $1 per hour of gaming fun - you can't afford to miss out!

We look forward to seeing you there!

All the comps at the supanova event will eventually lead to 1 winner, so Halo3 will be free for all.

[jonoccio]

ah okay.
does it really start at 2am?

[BlancMange]

sure does =)

[IceFire]

which smash bros is it!?

[BlancMange]

havnt decided yet.... suggestions?

[IceFire]

Brawl.


for the love of god make it Brawl again! (with Gamecube controllers of course)

[Coastal]

I think we should play the original.

and then Battletoads.

[IceFire]

screw battletoads...

Pong or Tetris
the games everyone knows

[Cal]

What console is the COD4 tournament on? Xbox or PC

[IceFire]

99.99% probability of PC (it's primarily a PC lanning event)

[Cal]

So for the halo do we need our own xboxs? and moniters?

[Kism]

what track mania map set? custom or standard? or is it up to the competitors to decide on a map set?

[Coastal]

Yes you do. It's reccomended that you bring the console, additional controllers, the screen you are USED to playing on (ie, tv, etc) as well as your home theatre system do make sure you perform at your best. It's a very serious competition here at WA-lan and if you can't cut the cake, Don't play with knives. Unless it's an icecream cake in which case go all in with a fucking massive spoon and eat that shit till your heart is content. Then you'll not even care about halo anymore and realise that you're asking probably silly questions. For a serious answer there should be consoles provided and if you're nice enough to Pia she might even give you one at the end if you're lucky!

sorry.... major brainfart (trying to organise everything atm)

Yes, Halo3 is the comp, and its on consoles (rather then my previously mentioned PC)

Yea i'd like green or blue class standard maps. OR if everyone in the comp adds one "popular" custom map not crap they made themselves... unless ganjarider is coming...

Hello,

I prepaid for my account under usernames Josh and ArchAngel using the same account (commonwealth bank) and wondering if I could get an update, like if the money hasn't gone through or something as I would really like for the prepay to go through.

Also, is the $10 to access supanova on the day?

Prepays are processed manually, I will poke the people that check our accounts for you.

And yes, $10 is a special discounted entry to supanova on the day once you have checked in at walan =)

91... got my hopes up for a second

[Lord Rivon]

I also remember those days. The site got all laggy from everyone refreshing.

[HELL_HOUND]

yeah its a shame those days are over... now it takes 2 or 3 weeks to get 80 people

[hvalac]

hey there, this maybe a silly question but... even if we haven't pre-payed we can still come if we have already signed up and assuming there are still spots left inside?

Also, as already mentioned, use some common sense. Don't go out, get drunk. then come back, because I'm pretty sure you'll be turfed out on your ass pretty quickly by PCEC staff.

Considering that RFLAN, WALAN & Supanova are all happening on the same weekend.

Atleast I can go to Supanova AND WALAN!

Also, how do I find WALAN amongst the showgrounds? Will there be a map posted, or signs or something?

Also, last time getting the car nice and close to move our gear was pretty difficult - we conned Billy into helping. Is it going to be near any parking that isn't full? It takes a few trips.....

Walan is INSIDE supanova.. Well you could say that.. Technically its partitioned off but you really cant miss the LAN, It will be on the opposite side of the entry to Supanova (Or the other side of the hall/further away from the chairlift entry.)

[killer69bite]

Alright thanks, I conned my friend into driving instead of me ( ), and he has a small barina so I'm sure if I stick a SUPANOVA sticker on it we can drive straight through.

Seriously though, we'll probably wonder up without our PC's and find out where WALAN is, then come back and do a couple of trips for Desktops + Monitors.

Actually we are doing it WITH SupaNova, And that was deliberate

Supanova is a huge pop/culture expo and we wanted to be there.

We allow spectators in free of charge. All Lanners are issued with Armbands so we know whos who.
