as tn1 said, i am most likely to come up to DGA Evolution end of this year/early next. Love to meet all u guys and put some faces to names. yes, am lokin for a place to stay, i am willing to pay rent for board and food, i am a mature person in real life and am responsible (unlike the online cs me [Image: http://bbs.gamers.octa4.net.au/biggrin.gif]), im a clean person and am not a slob, if u dont believe me my friends and family can clarify that, if there are no hosts...i will have to stay in the carlton hotel instead then ..... [Image: http://bbs.gamers.octa4.net.au/smilies/cwm32.gif] . currently im gettin a new comp together...cant rock up to DGA with my crappy comp atm.

just checked out the prices for Qantas return flights from canberre to darwin departing early monring 15th August 2002, $825 for the return ticket, 8 hour flight. im thinking maybe catch a train, that'll take a few days but that will include a room and meals, and will cost max $500. ive been overseas 3 times so i wonder if ma folks have frequent flyers points.....that $800 ticket to go with my new "600 comp, and $400 in spending money equals what $2800, $2800 divided by a $7 and hour job would mean i have to work for 466.666667 hours @ a takeaway store before i can go to darwin. ill save up now and ask ma folks [Image: http://bbs.gamers.octa4.net.au/biggrin.gif], cos i REALLY want to be @ this LAN and check out darwin

Bongo if you catch the train it's going to take a lot longer than a few days, they don't plan on finishing the line from Alice Springs to Darwin for about 3 years yet [Image: http://bbs.gamers.octa4.net.au/biggrin.gif]
All of us hear your pain about air fares though. It's even worse being in Darwin. The only way out is by air and it cost shit loads. Oh sure you can drive somewhere if you've got a week to get there......
sif train ... [Image: http://bbs.gamers.octa4.net.au/smile.gif] flamm will try and blow it up.
This is why i have posted now. for you guys down south, give them time to plann or take time off work and ,,, [Image: http://bbs.gamers.octa4.net.au/frown.gif] Save up, Listen Bongo if you cant make it to darwin, I am sure we can come to you ;p
talked to mum about it.. one problem is were would u sleep my sis aint moving for a while... i suppose i could get a hold a matress and swing it in my room [Image: http://bbs.gamers.octa4.net.au/smile.gif]
ok.. ive done a bit of research tonite on travel there, food, board and stuff like that. yeh cicada dude there aint no trains that go to darwin, it'd take a bloody week to get there. plane for me is still the way to go, DGA Evo is after chrissie so from all my rellies i could get a few hundred bucks. i had planned out to go on a study tour with school to japan nxt yr but i aint doin jap for yr11 or 12, so there's $3000 that'd i might be able to use. the only idea i got is thst i pay for the ticket, dad pays for the comp and the other oney that i need.
and yes praise u king/god/messiah tn1 for telling us now [Image: http://bbs.gamers.octa4.net.au/biggrin.gif]
- oh and btw, sif id sleep in flamms room on a matress, i sleep on my stomach, who knows wot idea's flamm might get muHAHAHAHA [Image: http://bbs.gamers.octa4.net.au/biggrin.gif] ------------------ Respect My Mother F**king Authority Bitch

Oh and boys clamp down a definite date, cos I will have to extend my normal X-mas shutdown @ work and take annual leave for it ( which is cool I got truckloads )..
Work shuts down just B4 X-mas and restarts about a week in the new year..
So its all fine 4 me, just gotta let the heads here @ work know the dates..
Wtf .. 4 days to drive up from Adelaide .. mesa is laughing my head of [Image: http://bbs.gamers.octa4.net.au/smilies/cwm37.gif] I takes 30 hour by road, or if u like 1 day to Alice and 1 day to darwin. Dont forget we have open speed limits on this side of the border [Image: http://bbs.gamers.octa4.net.au/smilies/cwm1.gif] as for costs on fuel .. depending on what it costs for ya to fill up your car!! around $50 to $70 for about 300 to 500 kilometers on a 3000 k trip $480 . But of course I didnt allow for the trip back home .. and if u get nightcrawler to come with u .. share the costs

If you have two or three others with you, and a roomy car - You can keep driving (rotating driver) and it takes about two days. Keep in mind you will need a GOOD bumper bar because I garuntee that you WILL hit a few kangas if driving at night.

BONGO, Get in contact with rA TheRealMadCow. He lives in Canberra and is going to the DGA as well. Maybe u get some sort of airline deal, tell em your husband wife etc lol Nah seriously, ask, u never know. Get a heap from canberra to go and you have group booking. Hope it helps. Hopefully i should be up there.
Oh and If I am to come up, I need DATES or i cant organise it.... [Image: http://bbs.gamers.octa4.net.au/smilies/cwm27.gif] [Image: http://bbs.gamers.octa4.net.au/smilies/cwm42.gif] [Image: http://bbs.gamers.octa4.net.au/smilies/cwm35.gif]
yep I am definitely gonna try to make it .... Sly if we can razz up someone else to come (I may have a mate) we can drive and it shouldn't be too expensive ....
Also mebbe Virgin will have its shit together by then and we can fly for a decent price ... heard it will be around $200 each way ... not too bad.
See how we go .... work will be slow that time of year so will be able to disappear for a week .... btw I will prolly be able to razz up a very cheap car for a week if we fly ....
And EOS I will take up your offer and crash on your couch or Chris's bed [Image: http://bbs.gamers.octa4.net.au/biggrin.gif] ... if I'm allowed that is (will bring the usual Beam Black and NyT's 'Magic orange Juice' as rent [Image: http://bbs.gamers.octa4.net.au/biggrin.gif] ). Hope this all works out cos it will be a blast!!!!

Hay Guyz .. [Image: http://bbs.gamers.octa4.net.au/smile.gif] I will be discussing the datesand other ideas I have, at Rec's Going away party this weekend.
WE have three options. * Start of the new year. * Middle of January * End of January.
My vote is early middle Jan.. But hey Im easy.. Im not cheap tho.. ;p
End of Jan would mean havin a X-mas break, then back to work, then back on Hols.. And I would prefer it all in a big Holiday, ending in a kick arse trip. Also will give me the option of comming up early if I wish too [Image: http://bbs.gamers.octa4.net.au/biggrin.gif]
Im gonna thrash out the phone on Monday and find out everything I can for flight options, etc.. i.e. Virgin ...
Will post the results Monday here in this thread......
ebola, i dun know if u knew already but BoNgO is |rA| TheRealMadCow, i am TheRealMadCow, TheRealMadCow is BoNgO, BoNgO was my old alias [Image: http://bbs.gamers.octa4.net.au/smilies/cwm32.gif]

arr crap another shotty wielding, booze drinken', work slacker :P to attend lans woohoo :P
Hey all I would not advise driving at night at all. With all the nasties on the highway at night and the wet season I would stick to day light hours. Unless you want to give me and sponge the overtime. Only kidding.
ok Virgin will be flying early march-ish...airfares should be about $500 return from canberra.
....ARGH! bongo man don't destroy going to japan man that is sooooo gonna rock,
japan = better than darwin [Image: http://bbs.gamers.octa4.net.au/biggrin.gif]
hehe...y spend a week here...you can basically see all that is interesting in a day... [Image: http://bbs.gamers.octa4.net.au/tongue.gif]
hmmmm, let's see....there's Fantasy Lane...and err...pubs...um...and...there are cinemas....and the lan...but thats about it [Image: http://bbs.gamers.octa4.net.au/smilies/cwm4.gif]
well looks like i won't be going to it, therefore i wouldn't be able to board anybody....still to be confirmed but going to japan for a year for "000 is sorta better [Image: http://bbs.gamers.octa4.net.au/biggrin.gif]
looks like i'll miss some fun though [Image: http://bbs.gamers.octa4.net.au/frown.gif]
DATES people I need DATES for this Lan. I have to organise days off and in my job, I have to do that months before it happenes so PULLLEEEEEEASEEEE gimme a rough idea.
I need a Location first before i can set a date... I am looking as we speak. i have found a few places, but nothing to my liking...
Most of you have stated they would like to have it at the end of January, you can plan dates from there, and I will get you the real dates when i get them.
This thread is getting more hits than Ebola gets at a nightclub. Okay heres the jiss.
As for accomodation I may be of some assistance. I will speak to my employers and determine whether I am able to get some rooms at my place of employment. No not the cells but the VOQ or visiting Officers quarters.
I wouldnt worry too much about accomodation as there is enough around and Sponge can do some shonkys.
As for the time of lan please consider mid to late January as otherwise Ill be in Brisbane on hols with fam and will be most upset and distraught at missing meeting those who suffered the misery of looking at the sharp end of my MP5.
Ok By that time of year, I will have about a month and a half of annual leave, so for the time being I will take the end of the year off, till prob mid Feburary..
I will want to B up there in Darwin for a couple of weeks.. I just know truckloads of heads up there. And have to say Hi to everyone.
Plans may change tho, I will know in the next few weeks, I may even B comming up for a fair while longer..
Time will tell, either way I will definitely B there for the LAN..
Look forward to this [Image: http://bbs.gamers.octa4.net.au/smile.gif] meeting bongo... seing ol' nix and nyt. and few others [Image: http://bbs.gamers.octa4.net.au/smile.gif]
it better happen [Image: http://bbs.gamers.octa4.net.au/smile.gif]
me glares at tn1 [Image: http://bbs.gamers.octa4.net.au/smilies/cwm21.gif] Better not be like the time when u said u would pay me back and till this day still no money
YAY! I can't wait until the EVOLUTION LAN is upon us!
Myself and Eater of Souls were at the expotech 2001 in darwin, talking to Netgear representative... he said down south they rent out their networking gear at " per port... We will both be in contact with him about leasing a full on network infrastructure setup, gigabit ethernet, firewalls, routers, switches blah blah blah... hopefully we can minimise down-time for the EVOLUTION in darwin gaming...
ALso, I will be talking to the ASUS importer of Australia whom I purchase my ASUS gear from, asking them if they would like to sponsor the EVOLUTION LAN. Down south they sponsor big LANS and give out prizes for first place, like a top of the line geforce3 or something like that... sound good?...
yeah yeah baby!! i have a lot of friends who are definitely coming to this lan event that have NEVER been to a DGA lan or any other organised LAN before... so you can expect a lot of new blood!
sounds damn good to me [Image: http://bbs.gamers.octa4.net.au/smile.gif] let's see those gigabit connections :drool [Image: http://bbs.gamers.octa4.net.au/biggrin.gif]

Maybe i've been sleeping the past few months... but what date is dga evo? (Needa know soon so i can get off work [Blocked image] ), and whats the location?
Anyone from melbourne going? If you's know someone hook me up with them so i can see about going. There is a shred of chance, but most likly wont be going [Blocked image]
And the funny thing, 13 Clans have signed up (thats good), and even though I haven't been to school for a while, 13x5 = 65...... Theres something someones not telling us [Blocked image]
*grin* OD would be at the top of my hit list, but then I was never that good at blind optimism [Blocked image]

More than likely I'll be moving house that weekend, as well as working on the sunday. There is also the cash drain on me at the moment which isn't helping, but I will drop by and say hi at the very least [Blocked image]
