How does the venue search go?

most probably inconclusive

The venue search went really really well. We found a place that is pefect. Unfortunately you are not invited.

you should be able to extrapolate the answer from the lack of announcements about upcoming lans

Its the RE right?

i drove past the stadium where qgl was, i wanted to cry :'(

Cause you were driving an NA skyline?

cries of joy because i don't have a racing stripe, fyi

hahahaha owned

hahahahaha this thread makes me lol

My understanding of the situation was that khel was in charge of finding a venue.

...


(this is where typo will now stick his nose in and claim that I have no idea ... just so you are all aware if you ask typo I will have no idea)

I'd heard the admins thought they had left sufficient gap to find a venue for the next lan, but in the end they couldn't locate one in time.

tappa tappa tappa fyi

just like i tapped your mother LOL

paveway sux fyi

Pave i bet didn't squeel as much as your car does at 100km/h.

yes well i've not heard this magical squeel, ever.

Yay!

Saw paveway drive past me in stretton this week in the morning.

You must've been either stopped or going extremely slow to have paveway pass you, LOL :)

Actually fyi he was reversing.

okay, new rule. you cant find a venue for qgl until i get back into the country, okay, thanks.

Heh, like it's ever going to happen anyway.

Canada is the new venue ok.

Have it at my house

Hmm, kat2.zip

Have it at my house

and join the long list of people who have "had it" at Kats house

ZING!!!

maxe delivers.

Typing it doesn't make it true. One day you may realise that

lighten up kat, i get s*** thrown at me all the time, i laugh because it's funny

last i heard about the qgl s*** was the technology park and some very appealing figures as far as public liability goes. i'm pretty sure venue is fine, you just need admins with the will to restart this old car

I had a talk with khel about it; apparently no-one seems to be all that interested in spending the little free time they have to organise QGL at this time.
So...
Bottom line is... no QGL yet.

The biggest problem of QGL Lans is the size they would be.

Big lans need big venues and big venues have lots of rules and massive costs.

I did some ringing around last week for venues that could hold 400 people in what they call a classroom configuration.
1. There aren't many that will hold that many. (not only does it need lots of space but power as well).
2. Lots of them demand you leave at a certain time and those that don't won't let anyone "sleep" there, Fire Department regulations or some such
3. They will expect you to hire there staff for security and directing people and stuff. Making them quite expensive.

Small lans would be much easier to find venues for and run.

ps. I am in no way an admin of QGL or anything, I just wanted a lan to happen etc etc and the venue is the sticking point.

^ you are my god

i am still drunk

Maybe QGL could have a 150 person lan of the Ausgamers elite. That way we dont get little kids trying to sign up. And i am sure to be invited because im so important around here!

Kat: if you believe in it enough, it could come true!

Kat: if you believe in it enough, it could come true!

Yes, yes it could. Just like that $1mil I believed I would get last jackpot!

Make the Lan 18+ then you'd cut down the size of the Lan a bit. Not that I'd go and mix with you nerds anyway.

I would go but I wouldn't take my computer!

No one gets acess to my computer

what's the point of going to a lan without taking your computer?

ZING!!!

To socialise!!! Duh!!!

Plus, I would use someone elses

Maybe QGL could have a 150 person lan of the Ausgamers elite.

And just who decides this "elite list"??

if you have to ask then you're not elite enough to be on it...

Trust me,you couldnt pay me to go.

Just go on userid numbers.

< 150 and you're in.

Heaps of other organisations including brisbane and around australia are having lans like once a month or atleast every 2-3 months...

For a large lan organisation (QGL) with a high rep to barely have lans ever, I find it pretty embarrasing!

I think QGL should setup a knotch and try to satisfy their returning customers (us the gamers).

Trust me,you couldnt pay me to go.

We can have our own lan in the carpark

Kat to socialise???

By the amount of bad comments I witness you getting from other people, doesn't seem like where will be alot of people to socialise with?

Trust me,you couldnt pay me to go.

not even in a Security capacity ?

just host a smaller lan dammit... First in first served...

age group 15+ to allow all people to play these rated games... SIMPLE

or

Case scenario: If we have to pay alot more to hire out a hall with security and all that sorta bulls***, how much would it cost for the entry fee....

Please tell... it might not be that much...

hi guys im posting in a qgl thread

Just go on userid numbers.

< 150 and you're in.

I dont think that is realy a good idea even though I fall in that range I think it should be everyone that post's in this thread.

whats a QGL ?

My understanding of the situation was that khel was in charge of finding a venue.

I was never in charge of it, I offered to do it because I had spare time. Then my spare time ran out due to uni commitments and nobody else continued looking, so nothing happened.

The biggest problem with running another QGL isn't a venue, its the fact that most (if not all) of the admins dont have the time, energy or inclination to run big lans anymore.

so basically

qgls f***ed

hand over the responsibilites to people who are willing to get s*** organised then.

ill do it

So basically, QGL's f***ed.

8-)

No exis is right .. if thats the excuse then yeah .. get out of the road and hand over the controls

If only qgl was like other club/interest groups with a big membership so you could elect new executives when the old ones stopped doing what was needed (cos everyone burns out eventually when doing hard work for free)

^ Its true.

And qgl has a top group of people.

I mean i'm pretty cool.

That's a lie Hugh.

so basically

qgls f***ed

hand over the responsibilites to people who are willing to get s*** organised then.

heh, exis has a very good point you know.

hand over the responsibilites to people who are willing to get s*** organised then.

ill do it

We'd be f***ed then :)

The biggest problem with running another QGL isn't a venue, its the fact that most (if not all) of the admins dont have the time, energy or inclination to run big lans anymore.

yep, so appoint a few new admins to get the organising done.
Then on the day, the old school admins that actually have a clue about how to run a lan can take back the reins.

I've worked in all sorts of 'event management' capacities and I'd be very happy to help, but as far as all the technical side of things with regards to power and network infrastructure I'd have zero clue.

Appoint a panel of people all with relevant experience and contacts and it could easily get off the ground.

zactly what we did with MPU - we've been without a venue for 9 months....

I am in spidz's shoes - altho not event mangement, I am a good co-ordinator blah blah, I got zero 'techincal' skills (as we can all attest to, with my newb threads).

However, a f***loads goes into orgainising a LAN....

Plus MPU isnt 400+ and isn't overnight/2 day LAN

I am not here to s*** on QGL admins, just want a lan, so I can fly up there and meet some of you f***ers :p

imo lets go back to regen lans...

Gonna organise a LAN at my place in two weeks time if you're interested, Heardy.

Well QGL would probably still be around and going strong if people just did a few simple things that the admins asked many, many times.

1. Cleaning Up after yourselves, and help clean up when you leave.
2. Having you puter set up correctly
3. Paying to get in..
4. Settling down on the leeching..
5. Cleaning up.
6. Cleaning..

I remember seeing a few posts by admins after lans saying how it sucked so much to clean up after everyone and how it sorta made hosting the lans painful and joyless.

Now the admins have moved on, why bother setting up a LAN where heaps of people will leave rubish everywhere, even though bins are everywhere. Where people will blatently break the rules and so on. Who can blame them for not wanting to give up there spare time.

I am not here to s*** on QGL admins, just want a lan, so I can fly up there and meet some of you f***ers :p

What a great reason to not have a lan!!!


I mean yeah I'll put my hand up to help where i can, if there is something to help with...

If someone lives on acerage, have it there and all you'd need is a few extension cords and a powerboard. As long as everyone brings their own tent, table, chair and powerboard.

If someone tells me what I need to find out, I can do some enquiring!

Now the admins have moved on, why bother setting up a LAN

After the last ex-QGL lanner has died off many generations from now, it may start to dawn on peeps that QGL is nothing but a web site, no more no less.

CY 2102AD: And yet I can still picture some 105 year old peep still posting in the expectation a LAN may still be organised. :D

not going to happen folks, if they were going to "appoint" some new admins, i'd be among the first to be picked

i've been helping for years here and there, as well as being involved with other large lans. would you seriously attend a lan run by "einstein" ? =)

the qgl lan is dead in the water guys, get some initiative and build your own lan and reputation up from scratch, it's not that hard, just a lot of planning and f***ing around

i'm helping with yerongalan at the moment, trying to get it off the ground

who knows? it might turn into the next qgl if we get enough people turning up, we certainly have enough terabytes of "incentive" for people to come.

I got invited to the last YerongaLan (i think) I didn't go :( Slack Kat

you'll be notified when the next one's on if we still have your email address

Problem is, I only play CS!

Plus last time I didn't get invited by YL I got invited be someone else

A lan could still be organised under QGL auspice.

All it needs is a venue, public liability insurance and a little work to organize the actual day.

The hard parts are
1. A lack of interest by the current admins to do the above
2. A lack of interest by the current admins in giving the reins to those who will
3. So many people wanting to go
4. Not so many people willing to become admins and do the hard work

I suggest if you are serious about wanting to help get a lan going then email qgl@qgl.org state your case how you can help, prior experience. Maybe even just start doing stuff like finding a venue and public liability insurance quotes.

Being an admin is no more then who is willing to do the work.

Maybe if enough of you show interest they might call a special general meeting or what the f*** ever they are called and get some of you new people involved etc etc

I'll be having a LAN at my place in 2 weeks on Saturday. Need about 6 more people to at least have about 14 players for some good multiplay action.

Strictly no CS either. Be some Desert Combat and anything else worth playing I guess.

8-)

yeah I am with Obes but if we do have another qgl we haveto buy obes a bbq so he can cook me breakfast.

Strictly no CS either. Be some Desert Combat and anything else worth playing I guess.

Is that your subtle way of saying "Kat's not allowed"?

Hehe

You're more than welcome but we wont be playing any kids games.

8-)

Man I have to go to work but I wanna play wow :(

Awww but..but *stamps feet*

qgls are fun fun fun ;D

Its not so much a lack of interest as it is a complete lack of time

I blame the RE for trog's lack of time.

Also those damn cotton bandanas need so much ironing.

Recruit some more people then Trog that will dedicate themselves to QGL...

im coming rev

I thought you were just breathing heavy, exis.

8-)

If you wanna come along that would be awesome. Finally get to meet you.

I'll come along rev, DC rox. Try the Point of Existence mod for BFV, actually makes the game worth playing.

wowzers rev i didnt think id actually be allowed come

whats ur msn so i can get some details =)

if defi wants to come to is he allowed (doubt he will but coz hes a piker fag poolicker)

busty_st_clair@hotmail.com

Don't use MSN that much because of the fag names, can't tell who anyone is. Do you have ICQ dude?

If you need help with picking up food or what not, give me a buzz :)

I'll be there Rev...dying to lan up my new rig.

Ill come if someone gives me a lift.

imo lets go back to regen lans...

yeah, regen lans were where it was at :)

though even with all eagerness to see another qgl lan.... i'm highly doubtful i'll be able to see another one in my lifetime

not going to happen folks, if they were going to "appoint" some new admins, i'd be among the first to be picked

HAHAHAHA

And just who decides this "elite list"??

I do!

:P

I would make a good QGL admin. I would be hard, but fair.

Like warden Glin always says..."Be aware, but be ware".

8-)

do you actually have to be good at games to go to a lan?

will everyone laugh at my newb counterstrike skills?

Most respected gamers hate CS.

8-)

its obvious i have no respect in the computer scene

i did ofcourse accept a file called 'john kerry as a super chicken' with a virus on it!

Some people came to qgl lans for the sole reason to leech. You also dont have to be good at any game to have fun.

leeching is bad mmmkay

also cs isn't a bad game, it's the community that is the problem. But lets not get into that again.

CS for the win

For the cool guys, it is the new cool to hate CS...

Ooookaaaayyy

existence has a crush on kat .. how cute...

cs ftw

Most respected gamers hate CS.

Most respectable people don't judge others based on their personal preferences and tastes.

Hehe

Twas only kidding my negroid. Now let's kiss and make up.

8-)

I dont hate cs, I just hate the people who play it.

You hate me?

do you hate me khel ? :'(

Woohoo another CS player

We will take over the world!

Uh, I think CS has already done that...

You hate me?

Ok, maybe hate is a bit strong. But kevin sorbo most definately does not approve.

do you hate me khel ? :'(

Yes.

cs is a good game, its the people that play it that ruin it

I tried to buy an AWP on ebay for $9000, then i found out they were $5000 in the buy menu.

Khel has trouble with strong emotions... So maybe when he says he hates you some times he really means he wants to take you on a ride up the valley of brown love in his latex man boat.

Or then again ...

he could just hate you much like the rest of the world does
