Maybe we should all just sit apart then, as we're never going to keep everyone happy. Those who want to be in a nice AC room can do so, and those who want to sit in the hall, or dont want to be "antisocial" can sit in the hall?

I feel getting all 32 people to agree is just going to be more faff than its worth.

I hate to piss on any bonfires but that's exactly the problem caused by AC, you really can't and won't please everyone. At the mo it seems to be mainly me making a rukus but in reality I'd bet my mothers left toe that a lot of people would want it warmer/cooler that the other etc.

I'm not saying I won't do it, I guess I'd feel better with some reassurance that you guys won't force me to sit in pain the entire LAN if it does affect me / is too cold. :p

Chances are it's likely pumped in via a big tuuuuuuuube in all the boxes. Might be too awesome to change. For all we know it could be set to 4c so we can keep our drinks nice and cold.

So its not been said anywhere that we will have any control over what the temperture will be... but we are using it as a deciding factor =/

riiiight.

Quick question, before this becomes an issue. Does anyone know for sure that we can even adjust the AC per clan box? I mean does it say anywhere that this would even be a possibility?

Ok guys, that aircon is NOT going to hit anywhere near 19 oC. The way venue and conference rooms usually work is either a single AC unit or balanced pipe units (I would be expecting the latter).

This aircon system will be designed for cooling a room with ~20 people in it. Your now going to put 32 people in it and 32 computers and 32 widescreen monitors, ALL running at 11/10. The aircon will stop it becoming rediculous, it will NOT be able to produce 19oC temps.

It will still be hot in that atmosphere, but hopefully not unbearably so!

I can't play games with gloves (tis my hands get cold mainly), else I would :p

But vibs is probably and hopefully right.
:p

Main issue is if I'm sat under an outlet which is working overtime trying to cool the room thus blasting artic air all over me. I'd have to swap with someone. :)

if that's the case i'm sure people would be happy to move, once were in the box it doesn't *really* matter which seat in the box you're sat in

Swapping locations isnt too much of a faff. Only faff is if you order food and youre not where they expect, but usually they just come in and shout. That is provided that they do the food.multiplay this time.

And vibs, its not 32 widescreen monitors. Only 31 + bacons :p

In this case Vibs is sitting in an office with balanced aircon which has just had an office move in it and it can no longer cope!

This is true, but trax's monstrosity he claims is a monitor more than makes up for the ammount of heat difference!

I too used to use them when playing EVE at 2am last winter when the heating was off.
Playing at ambient 3c is fabulous pvp.

I think it's worth it this one time to see what we think.

There are enough of us going to this LAN that also went to stoneleigh to know what the large hall atmosphere is like...

Didn't most of us who went to Stoneleigh, and are going to i43 say we were in favour of the hall/indifferent?...

In fact, headcount of those who were at i34/37 who are going to i43:

Huung. Hall
Spicypixel. Hall
thatbloke. Box
waterproofbob. Box
Iron Fist. Hall
Traxata. Hall
Haven. Box
Silk. Undecided?
Solemn. Box

Any more I've missed? :\

Looks like a 50/50 split to me.

Have I missed something? Whats the significance of the group of people who went to i37? Or is this this just an aside?

It's based on a comment I stated earlier.

Long story short I'm still in favour of us trying it to see what it's like - we may get there and think that it's not worth the extra 10 squid but we'll know for sure then. Though I can understand not wanting to pay £10 for the privilege of finding out.

Aaah my bad. Fair enough.

Unless we join with a fairly large clan next time, i reckon the summer lan is the only time we'll realistically be able to get a 32 person box as we just dont have the numbers quite so much at other lans, so it would be nice to see.

You can include alex and me in that, both of us have done the hall plenty and both of us prefer the box
