      Then have I got the opportunity for you!

    • Agret on 07/01/2023 - 11:16

      Not sure how they go with modern setups, would be hard to seat people with all the 49" monitors.

      • AssociatedJabob @ THE BIG LAN on 07/01/2023 - 15:06

        We manage. Some people absolutely bring 49inch monitors.

      We do, but not in the first half of 2023.

      Is that not something to be proud of? Even energy drinks are poison

      TIL gamers don't take adderall

    • simplystu on 06/01/2023 - 19:36

      It indicates the type of ppl they want to attend ++ held in a church.

      • even trying to obtain a temp liqour licence for a local community hall == too much effort.

      Been to few LAN events in late 1990's - early 2000's … Was always ppl drinking alcohol, just a typical - "as long as not seen approach".

        That's just 7up right?

    • shroomish on 06/01/2023 - 19:57

      Is there competitor testing?

    • prhino on 06/01/2023 - 19:59

      I was referring more to the "no drugs" but probably deserve to get negged for buying into stereotypes

      • AssociatedJabob @ THE BIG LAN on 06/01/2023 - 20:01

        It's a venue requirement to have that disclaimer on our marketing material.

        • prhino on 06/01/2023 - 20:04

          Ah cool, makes sense

    No Pes or Fifa?

    • [Deactivated] on 07/01/2023 - 01:23

      No Fortnite too😩

      • DontNeedThis on 07/01/2023 - 07:01

        Really? No Fortnite? I suppose the game doesn't have a LAN mode.

        • Agret on 07/01/2023 - 11:20

          Weird because they have Fall Guys on there.
          One of the organizers must be anti-fortnite.

          • DontNeedThis on 07/01/2023 - 12:52

            @Agret: @Jabob Care to comment?

            • AssociatedJabob @ THE BIG LAN on 07/01/2023 - 15:00

              @DontNeedThis: No one is anti-fortnite. We just have to make some judgement calls. As an over-18 event we've found less demand for Fortnite than other games, and its also more challenging to run (needing to apply for a custom server key and whatnot).

  • bobzor on 06/01/2023 - 19:28

    Says Chess is the only board game, but there's a pic with Catan etc
    Is there more than just chess?

    • AssociatedJabob @ THE BIG LAN on 06/01/2023 - 19:48

      Chess is the only large-scale board game tournament we hold, but we run heeeeeaps of board games.

  • amazonaddict on 06/01/2023 - 19:40

    They have Age Of Empires. Damn, wish it is in Sydney.

    • frewer on 06/01/2023 - 20:16

      I wish that I can find baby sitter …

    • King Steuart on 06/01/2023 - 20:17

      No, u wish u lived in heatherdale

      • TheDukeOfNukem on 06/01/2023 - 21:43

        Like, as in near Mitcham? bc Heatherdale, while having a station, is not a suburb, the station is named that solely bc of the road, Heatherdale Road, it lives on.

    Just curious, what is your typical split (based on previous events) between PC and Console tickets…..?

    • AssociatedJabob @ THE BIG LAN on 06/01/2023 - 21:38
      +3

      Probably 70% BYOC tickets.

  • spacemansparrow on 06/01/2023 - 21:25

    Wishing this was in Newcastle

  • bobzor on 06/01/2023 - 22:05

    If my opponent swears or blasphemes when I pwn them, do they get kicked out coz it's in a church? XD

  • jrchurvnjef on 06/01/2023 - 22:53

    Are the AFK tickets also the spectator tickets? Any spectating at all?

    • AssociatedJabob @ THE BIG LAN on 06/01/2023 - 23:06

      Yeah spectator would be covered under AFK.

  • TheFIREnanceGuy on 07/01/2023 - 12:16

    Why only two weeks notice? Would be good to know this months in advance so people can plan around it, I would have love to come to this. Just a suggestion for next time if possible!

      You can sign up for our mailing list, join our Discord, and like us on Facebook. This way you get a lot more notice.

      But I try not to overdo it on Ozbargain because I don't want to annoy people.

  • The Hawk on 07/01/2023 - 14:55

    Given it's alcohol and drug-free, any reason it's 18+ and not open to younger players (like 16+)?
    Do you ever run anything for under 18s?

    • AssociatedJabob @ THE BIG LAN on 07/01/2023 - 15:03

      There's a few reasons. Insurance, venue requirements for U18 events, having to manage content, etc.

      We can facilitate U18s on a case by case basis if they are accompanied by a parent/legal guardian.

  • someguywholikesdeals on 07/01/2023 - 17:02

    Just out of interest, what's your typical internet connection at these kind of events?
    Also +1 interest for Sydney events

      It's a business NBN connection.
