LAN partiers

Atch is hosting the “Turkey Giblets, 18th Annual Edition, LAN party!”

The plan:
We’ll start Thursday evening after 6:00 pm, (November 28th) and go into Sunday. Bring your own computer, monitor, keyboard, mouse, headphones, comfortable clothes/PJ’s, slippers, and any other “accessories” you need.

I also plan to reference last year’s survey to improve our LAN experience this year. Can’t tick all the boxes, but I will make some changes.

The Games:
I am looking for one new game the whole group can plan. Something we haven’t played before. Something new to most, if not everyone. Something that is well reviewed. Please submit your ideas and suggestions in our Discord channel.

And it won’t be a LAN if we don’t play a few games of Tower D and Red Circle. Yes I have been playing a lot of Tower D. So I look forward to not placing last place. Hopefully. I’m hoping to get in a few hours of Civilization too, for those interested.

For those wishing for less screen time, I hope you will bring your favorite table top games.

Movie night:
Last year we all watched Weird: The Al Yankovic Story. I am not opposed to us all picking something like that to watch together. Just putting that out as a possibility. Post your interest/suggestions in our Discord.

The food:
BYO Snacks and refreshments.

• Thursday: Assuming people will have their own Thanksgiving food plans so I won’t plan anything in particular for Thursday night.
• Friday: Cooking contest! (Optional) Think you’ve got the culinary skills needed to impress a bunch of nerds? Bring it! You can make whatever you like, but it had better impress your peers! Can be an entree, snack, desert, etc. Winner will receive a LAN appropriate gift card! Runner ups will be ridiculed and mocked for their “hard work and talent.” Again, discuss in Discord.
• Saturday: Survey says, breakfast on Saturday, not Friday, a smorgasbord morning/brunch, including scrambled eggs, sausage, bacon, biscuits and gravy and hash browns.
  The Big Game! Kick-off is at noon! I expect a bloodbath this year. 🙁
  For dinner, I will be making the crowd favorite from last year, I’m making tacos! Quick and easy and always tasty!
• Sunday: Wind down day. No meals planed.

The drink:
BYOB! In case you forget there is a Kroger about 5 minutes away. There is also a small refrigerator in the basement.

The place:
Atch’s Place!

The when:
Thursday November 28th. Setup starts after 4:00pm. Early bird set up is available for this LAN Party. Please send Atch a message to arrange your early bird setup plans. I’m looking at those visiting from the North Star State.

Accommodations
I’ll have a couple inflatable mattresses and one standard bed. First come, first serve, as is tradition. Since some of us are travel from out of town please let me know if you’d like to come in earlier or stay later.

Would you like to take a survey?
Sorry. No survey this year. Unless you really want one, weirdo.
