Reloaded 3

Pinger$ · Post by **Pinger$** » Wed Oct 03, 2007 8:25 pm

Hi All,

Just a heads up for those that care -

Reloaded 3 is a huge lan coming up in Jan 2008 in Adelaide.
Number of people going is expected around the 1000 mark.

Currently there are $70k in prizes to giveaway.

If we (fellow ARSE's) want a racing competition for something a little more realistic than trackmania, now's your chance to speak up.
If we can get 10 people interested in a LFS race (or any other sim for that matter) we'll be able to run a comp with decent prizes guaranteed.

Feel free to ask questions here, but if you want a competition/have a competition idea, just post it on the reloaded racing forum and see what happens.

Check it out!

PS. Feel free to play things other than racing

EDIT: The vitals

Venue - Adelaide Showground
Start Time - 11am Saturday January 26th
Finish Time - 7pm Sunday January 27th
Ticket Price - $30

Damn I'll miss out by 1 month.

Sounds fun. A large scale AAL race in the same room.

hehe sounds like the old shafted lans, the biggest was the Big day in and colonial stadium (now telstra dome or some shit) we had 1200 people or something crazy to that point

Ooh, I'll let the head organiser know - I know he wants it to be Australia's biggest, but if you've had 1200 at Shafted, might be struggling.

The last reloaded event had 600 people I think and sold out.

EDIT: The biggest one I could find for them was 500 on this page http://www.shafted.com.au/photos/index.php?cat=2

I travelled from Adelaide to Shafted X with my old quake team

good times, but the network was screwed and paused every minute for about 1 second. We made (and lost) the winners bracket final and then somehow got placed 4th missing out on the prizes

I think one of my mates travelled over for the Big Day In aswell.. that had the huge Q3 comp yeah?

I was at that. I miss going to shafted, but it sucked after they actively shut down the DC hubs. I used to sit there all night downloading shit, way too much fun

I'm pretty certain that networking won't be an issue at reloaded... there's been some good help from a big sponsor.

Spewing the article is pre-lan... would be good to know just how many people they got there... bloody good effort for 2002.

I think valhalla had some big 600 person events around then... pre-cheap-broadband days

I think capacity for the event is about 1500. I don't think we'll get near that though.

Tickets are on sale now... but chances are no one is prepared to commit this early, which is fine.

The sooner a comp gets organised, the better the chances of getting a decent set of prizes lined up for it.

So - I reckon an autox style event may be best... that way no arguments about unfair tactics.

Thoughts?
