The HTTP server for the party is nearly completed. While we had some trouble at the last party with the HTTP server and getting files downloaded, I have taken great measures to ensure that this is not the case inthe future. There will be a DNS server running at the party. While this doesn't change anything noticable, it does mean there will be some small changes to the networking setup. Check out the networking pages under preperation to see the changes to DNS configuration. I also want to remind everyone to bring EVERYTHING you might need to re-install everything on your system. Drivers, Win95 CDs, whatever. In the event you need to re-install something, we don't want you getting screwed because you forgot a disk or CD-ROM for your 3D card or sound card. Things are going smoothly and we made some decisions at the last staff meeting that will be announced in due time. So stay tuned. Bad Mojo

So far things are looking very good. Very few snags this time around. My domain, RPS.NET, has had a few problems over the last few weeks, but I feel they have been solved and my connection is back to normal it seems. I've been impressed that the top three games are now Quake II (no surprise there), Half-Life (I expected it), and TRIBES. Wow. I didn't expect TRIBES to take off like it has. On that note, I've gotten a lot of feedback saying you guys are really interested in team mods and games. Let me know what you think about this trend. Do you want more team based tournaments and servers? Or do you think one-on-one is still more fun. I'm interested in feedback, not just flame-bait. Feel free to use the message board as well. Be cool! Bad Mojo

Message board is up. A few of you requested this and it's a great idea. Jump in and post. I don't want to impose a large ammount of rules on the board so don't force my hand. That's it. Go to it and have fun. Message Board Bad Mojo

The super-cool Linux server is pretty much ready to rock and roll. Aside from configuring some player models/skins and loading her up with maps that is. Just one more obstacle down, a few more to go. In case you haven't noticed, we're almost at full capacity for the party. This is really awesome. All I ask is that you let us know if you decide you can't make it. This way we can open your spot up to let someone else in. More news as I can find it. Be cool. Bad Mojo

I've updated information regarding the Quake II tournament. Check out the Games/Quake II page. I'll post the maps as soon as I pick them. I'm trying to find less used, 2 vs. 2 friendly maps. If you have any questions about the tournament, please let me know before the party so I can address it ahead of time. Bad Mojo

I just played TRIBES. And WOW. Color me impressed. Not only was my game play smooth over the network, it was a blast. Very fun game. Other than me ranting, I've updated the Quake I page a little. Lunk game me some information on what the Quake I server will be running during the upcoming party. Check it out. We tested the server at the party and I got a chance to double-check some of the Quake II Tournament settings. I will be attempting to follow PGL standards as close as I can. Check out the Quake II page for more information. That's all for now. Stay tuned. Bad Mojo

Registration is open! Click HERE to register. Here is how things will work. If you register, you will have a spot in the LAN Party. If you do not get in to register, wait and check if people drop off. If you want to play and didn't get a chance to get on the list, let Silhouette know so we can determine how much demand there is out there. Once you are on the list, there are two methods to pay your registration fee. You can pay $10.00 at the door, or pay $8.00 in advance. Regardless of how you pay, those who register get a spot, those who do not register, do not get a spot. This is not an attempt to gouge you guys, but to raise funds to help pay for the growing cost of equipment and supplies. We are still operating on a non-profit basis here. If you have any questions about this process, send me or Silhouette some e-mail and ask away. If you are registered and want to pre-pay, go to the preparation page and look under the payment section. This also means that if you register, and find you can NOT attend, you should let Silhouette know. This way we can refund any of your money and make your spot available to others. Bad Mojo

We are working out details for two competitions at the next LAN Party. Currently we are looking at holding a StarCraft Tournament, and a Quake II Two-On-Two Tournament. Bad Mojo

The last thing I want to do is confuse everyone out there. I had opened registration before we were ready. We're trying to deal with the player cap issues before we move ahead with registration. I've close registration for now. I apologize for the waffle, and we're going to work this out as soon as we can. Thanks for your patience. Bad Mojo
