<3 people that vote before they know what wolf is.

the onlky thing for LANs of the large-scale kind is that you need to make sure the wiring and fuses are able to support that kind of power drain, make sure that you [the host] has all the networking equipment there and set up, and set spots for each player. If you don't do these simple things a fun LAN can turn pretty hectic in a hurry.

Oh and be sure you have the number of a pizza company that will deliver, that's always a huge bonus.

www.lanparty.com <list it

You could also go the illegal route and have .ISO files of the games yuou want to play and distribute them through the network to allow players to play games that they don't own (at the time) which will bring a larger player base.

PS:

tiger YEAH I'D GO TO A LAN (if it were closer to home)

the reason why you have yet to do it is that you CANT.

steam games were made to prevent piracy by forcing you to register a game's unique (meaning one cd key PERIOD) to the steam servers which in turn lets you download it.

couldn't you get a cracked version of the game? I know they're out there, but since I paid for all mine I haven't messed with them. I'm not too sure if you'll get auth'd by servers on the net. but I'm pretty sure LANs are no problem.

That sounds nice but you need to have a set game schedule with cracked games in order for it to be max efficiency, or youll just sit around for hours waiting for everyone to be ready.

example:

05:00: LAN setup
05:30: CS 1.6
07:00: CSS
08:00: Break for food (order pizza so that it will be delivered around this time)
08:30: BF2
10:00: Quake 3/4
11:30: Serious Sam Coop mode (to break monotony of fragging bizziches)
01:00: BF1942
02:30: UT2k4
You get the idea. I've went to quite a few area and state LANs, the system above is the best. make it bathroom breaks at your own score's risk and have a set food break time about the middle of the day when people would start to get hungry, set up a drink table with ice bowl & 2 liter soda bottles

my pennies

edit:
make sure you play games in which all attendees can join, nobody wants to get left out or playing in a smaller sized game while theres a main one going, this leaves most RTS' out of the question.
