EU LAN in Norway

[Rawhide 2]

Friends and participants of the OFP/ArmA community;

NoPryl and Clan ACAT are putting together a gathering for the enthusiastic, interested OFP and ArmA player. The whole idea started out when the members in the old clans wanted to meet in person, and have a few games together. But as the whole plot was made, and all the pieces fell into place, we wanted to invite more people - so we made it public, hoping to meet more friends.

The Norvegian Winter LAN (NWL), in details:

When:

We meet up thursday evening in Oslo centrum and the Oslo Gardermoen Airport. Then we travel up and settle in. We won't start the gaming before friday morning (but of course you mount your computer). The friday we should try and get to know eachother just a little bit in person as well.

Date: from thursdag 8th of february to sunday the 11th.

Total cost

1500,- NOK ~ 180€ ~ 122 GBP (approx.)

Includes:

*A three bed room with shower and toilet (you share a room with another one) from friday to sunday

*Food for all three days (included breakfast, lunch, dinner and something at night)

*Several very good gameservers

*An well organized gathering

*Transport from Oslo Sentralbanestasjon (central station) or Gardermoen Airport

*...and back

You need to bring:

*Computer (and everything it needs to work)

*Chips

*Beer

*Camel Blue for Rawhide

*An appetite for Sjabas cooking

*...and the urge to play & have fun

Travel & transport

We will pick you up at the airport thursday evening. This means you will have to get yourself to Gardermoen Airport during thursday.

It's also possible to get to Oslo Sentralbanestasjon (Oslo Centrum) by bus or train. We will have a pickup here as well. We will try to get as many monitors we can, so you probably won't have to bring it on the plane/bus/train.

The ride from your LZ to the place we're staying is approximately 4 hours, so bring some beer and music to go on the ride. We will have a small bus for this trip so it would be a nice tour. I can promise you some really nice, norvegian scenery on the way up. The graphic up here is beautiful during wintertime...

So, what's the whole thing about, anyway?

Well, we have got ourself a real nice place in the very bush of Norway. We have the place from thursday to sunday. It's an old three floor building with plenty of space for us to play on. In the first floor, there are enough rooms for 44 people. But on the ground floor, we have a big kitchen, space to play & eat, and hang out.

Regarding the cost, it may be a bit cheaper when we get everything booked, Bear in mind; this is not something any of the admins are doing to make money. It's simply a community gathering.

An EU LAN is a multiplayer thing, moving to MP.

This is awesome !

Indeed a cool idea.... we can easily meet up and have fun over a weekend with food and beer. Great effort there !

And to me it seems well organized... did you say we get our own bus picking us up ? Can we have the bus painted with the ArmA logo ?

I'll try to be there.... and Im sure that many many people will like this idea and join aswell.

Thanks for letting us know.

Sounds interesting, too bad it's not central Oslo though.
