Points to note - headshots weren't committed to logs (as per the default log level snafu mentioned yesterday) so that might have made some difference in standings, but we've never used PS3 before so have no idea how in the hell it weights things...
Anyway, commence complaining and\/or trash talking :)"},{"id":"urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:dave_chimaera:149500","link":[{"@attributes":{"rel":"alternate","type":"text\/html","href":"https:\/\/dave-chimaera.livejournal.com\/149500.html"}},{"@attributes":{"rel":"self","type":"text\/xml","href":"https:\/\/dave-chimaera.livejournal.com\/data\/atom\/?itemid=149500"}}],"title":"More LANishness","published":"2008-09-16T12:14:36Z","updated":"2008-09-20T10:38:14Z","content":"
- Maps<\/ul><\/strong>
- DE_Menace_Final<\/a> I've actually played this one online, it turned up on a server rotation and was quite fun. Two bombsites and a couple of fun chokepoints - some range play for those that like that sort of thing too.<\/li>
- DE_Beachassault<\/a> Looks pretty hardcore, might be a little too much of a killing field for the defending CT's, but I figure theres not many maps where the CT's have the advantage so would make a nice change :)<\/li>
- DE_Museum_Remake<\/a> Remake of the 1.6 map that was quite a LAN staple.<\/li>
- CS_Northtower<\/a> Might be a little open but looks fun...<\/li>
- CS_Estate_Source<\/a> Remake of the old Estate map from 1.6<\/li>
- CS_BackalleyV2<\/a> Remake of the old Backalley map from 1.6<\/li>
- CS_Chalet<\/a> There is no CS_Alpin that I could find, but this looks a relatively close second.<\/li>
- Cs_Ancient_Arctic_Ruins_v1<\/a> Mainly I just thought this one looked nice ;)<\/li>
- CS_Parkhouse<\/a> Again I thought this looked interesting.<\/li>
- DE_Rats_Den_V2<\/a> Rats map for a bit of mid session cocking about.<\/li>
- DE_Sunstroked<\/a> Rats map for a bit of mid session cocking about.<\/li>
- DE_Vertigo_Pro<\/a> Remake of DE_Vertigo<\/li>
- DE_Fastline<\/a> Remake of DE_Fastline - one of the more popular of the CZ maps<\/li><\/ol>
I will have CD's with the map pack available on the day.
We'll do the usual arrangement - each map repeats once, while the players change ends. When the map changes the players stick to their current end.- Teams<\/ul><\/strong>

- Plug bar (*NOT* Surge Protected)<\/li>
- Network Cable (at least 3-5m long)**<\/li>
- Headphones (preferably with mic)<\/li>
<\/ul>
We'll be aiming for a noon start on the Sat. Please try to be ready on time - I know we never are but still, just *once* it would be nice :)
We should, I think, be OK for table space, but you might want to think about a comfy chair or cushion or something...- Server Stuff<\/ul><\/strong>
As previously discussed it will be a fairly vanilla set up - there will be the usual 8secs of freezetime at the start of the round, and 45secs on the clock of the C4. Friendly Fire will of course be on, but there we be no TK punish in place - just go slap your teammate round the back of the head or something :)
Modwise there will be a deathbeam mod so you can see the line of the shot that killed you, and also a personal round stats message screen (damage given to whom, taken from whom, kills and deaths) but thats it as far as stats are concerned - there will be no top15 or statsme stuff in there, and psychostats won't be set up and run until after the event.
Thats about it I think - see you all on Friday 26th!! :)
* Basically I went on a map site and grabbed interesting looking high-rated maps :)
** I don't mind doing a job buy on cable from work but I need to know by the weekend how much is needed.

For Sale: Complete Windows PC
I've bought myself a new computer over christmas so in order to pay some of it off I'm selling off my old machine, which has served me very well. Its a home built machine of the following specification:
1) Shuttle SB75G2 Small Form Factor chassis (and it really is small - roughly 20x20x30cm) link<\/a>
2) Intel 2.8GHz Pentium 4 processer (With Hyperthreading)
3) ATI Radeon 9800 pro 128 meg graphics card
4) 1gig DDR RAM
5) 80gig slimline HDD (Samsung if I remember correctly)
6) Pioneer Dual Layer DVD +\/- rewriter
7) Hyundai Imagequest Q17 TFT monitor (high speed DVI\/VGA 17\" TFT) link<\/a>
8) Logitech MX500 Optical mouse link<\/a>
9) Microsoft Digital Media Keyboard Pro link<\/a>
10) Nostromo N50 Speedpad (kind of a programmable gaming keyboard) link<\/a>
I'll also include:
1) carry case for the computer (I used it a lot for LAN parties)
2) Whats left of my logitech z-680 link<\/a> speaker system. Unfortunately the center channel failed about a year ago so I've been using it as a 4.1 sound system instead, which has been working perfectly ever since. With the loss of the centre channel the remaining power rating is 436 Watts (RMS). Unfortunately there is no remote but the control pod lets you do everything anyway.
As for software - I'll install a few bits and bobs of software - I'll stick Windows XP, Office 2003 and Nero Burning ROM on (for evaluation purposes only ;) ) and the latest drivers for all hardware - in the interests of making things easy in the future I'll provide copies of everything on CD as well.

Willing to deliver to Sheffield area.
If you know of anyone that may be interested I would appreciate you passing the info along :)

Since noone has made any other suggestions on teams I'd say we go with the suggestions of Mr Harrap (posted below for those that don't remember):
Upstairs - DE_Beachassault<\/a> Looks pretty hardcore, might be a little too much of a killing field for the defending CT's, but I figure theres not many maps where the CT's have the advantage so would make a nice change :)<\/li>
We seem to get though around 15-25 maps at a LAN so on top of the official maps (from memory there are between 10 and 15 official maps) we need another ten or so. Using a highly scientific method* I have picked out the following:
