As per the discussion at the Ashford meeting, if supplying the server is a problem, I have a 1U server and a 16 port switch that I can supply as a gameserver, I'd provide appropriate access to the individual wishing to setup a game.<br>

Hi all, sorry if I'm treading on anyone's toes with this post but this<br>
is something that was discussed on Halloween in Ashford.<br>
<br>
What was discussed is to aim to do three separate and different games.<br>
Each game is organised by a separate person who provides copies of the<br>
game (Ashford has no internet) and a server (hosting it on your gaming<br>
rig is allowed) but stand alone servers score geek points :)<br>
<br>
We discussed:<br>
1: Armagetron - <a href="http://www.armagetronad.net/" target="_blank">http://www.armagetronad.net/</a> Easy to learn and get<br>
into. Runs on fairly low spec hardware and looks nice on newer<br>
machines. This is the one I'm aiming to do.<br>
2: An FPS (there are lots of them). I think Tremulous -<br>
<a href="http://tremulous.net/" target="_blank">http://tremulous.net/</a> was suggested and that Thom wants to run this<br>
one. If there are any prefered FPSs this is open to discussion.<br>
3: Something different... One idea was Glest -<br>
<a href="http://glest.org/en/index.php" target="_blank">http://glest.org/en/index.php</a> a RTS with some promise.<br>
<br>
The important thing is that there is minimal electricity and technical<br>
infrastructure and no internet in Ashford at the theatre.<br>
<br>
People need to bring their computer.<br>
Enough multi plug sockets to run their hardware (and a little spare<br>
for good measure).<br>
Network switches and spare cables.<br>
Copies of games built for different distros (remember can't download).<br>
Server(s) for games.<br>
<br>
Anyway. Open to discussion :) and all ideas welcome.<br>
<br>
Those who have seen my excessive hair in the past will see I'm once<br>
again keen to do my bit for geeking out :)<br>
