• GRAW Themed June GS

  In celebration of the release of GRAW (May 11th) Ubisoft are sending us 5 full games and stacks of posters to give away! So the Admins will be decking the hall out in camo-netting and with sand-bags and will be turning up in their army fatigues and we'll be giving away copies of the game to those of you that come dressed as 'Ghosts' (not the white fluffy kind that say 'boo') for the occasion. We'll also be running some big 16v16 Domination matches of GRAW during the day. Hoo-ah soldiers! Posted May 31 2006, 09:56 AM by MrWolf with no comments

• June LAN Rego's OPEN!!!

  You can now REGISTER for the next GameServe LAN on June 3rd. There is a limit of 80 players now, and since the popularity of our last no-leeching/gaming-only LAN you want to be sure that you rego quick so that you don't miss out. To have your say on the games we play at the next LAN you also need to go to THIS page and vote for what you want to play. Posted May 22 2006, 08:12 PM by MrWolf with 2 comment(s)

• GS June 3 Details

  For those that skim over the forums, the next LAN date is Saturday June 3. The usual details are unchanged; $15 entry, MA15+, upto 80 players, and... NO LEECHING! A games list for the day will be published shortly, but in the mean time you can vote one what you games you want played in THIS Forum thread. And a few new things we're putting in place; 9am-11pm (although if you want longer operating hours you have to make use of them, if only 2 people hang back later we won't keep it happening), AND... we're going to be setting 1 of our dedicated servers up as a "Challenge Server" and we'll have a whiteboard/timetable up for teams to reserve time-slots and such for "wars" or "prac" or "grudge matches" etc... The only exception to this is if you want to challenge the admins to a FarCry Assault match... you don't need to reserve a server for THAT, we'll happy take you down anytime of the day!

• GS May LAN this weekend coming!

  With all of the announcements about new formats and new venues we nearly completely forgot about the fact that the LAN is on this coming weekend. Saturday, May 6th, to be more accurate with the doors opening at 9am and closing around 9pm (we might go longer if the games are running hot, but will depend on the day). $15 is still the cost of entry, but as stated in an earlier post the LAN will be at the Helensvale Community Center on Discovery Drv in Helensvale. The new venue is fully air-con'd and the kitchen will be cranking to provide some great food stuffs (or you can always wander down to the nearby shops), and as per usual the network will be fully giga and "Arnie-Teh-Powa-Mustah" assures us that his "How good is that power" record for no power-out's will continue to stand. So that about covers everything for a near-perfect LAN. No changes to the age restrictions either, so GS is still an MA15+ event (with ID being requested if we suspect you might be too young, so have it handy or risk being turned away at the door). The Gaming TimeTable for this weekend will be posted later today, and rego's will be open shortly. Max seats at this event will be 80. Posted May 01 2006, 09:21 AM by MrWolf with 5 comment(s)
