Multiplay i40 Gaming LAN - Clanbox?

So on the August Bank holiday weekend i40, the big summer LAN from Multiplay, will be happening at Newbury Racecourse.

I know of a significant number of people that have expressed an interest in going, so I would like to highlight and suggest possible use of one of the facilities that are available at these LANs, and that is the LANBOX.

On the 3rd floor of the Berkshire stand, there are a number of rooms that are reffered to at the LANs at LANBoxes - essentially self-contained rooms where you are all on the same network as everyone else, except that the room has space for 22 people and that's it.

Multiplay offer these on a first-come first served basis, and they have to be reserved UP FRONT and with 22 full booking IDs from people that have ALREADY BOUGHT their tickets.

Tickets for the summer event are traditionally available straight after the Easter event, though it may be a little different this year with the addition of the smaller June LAN, but for us to be able to successfully get a whole clanbox we need to have 22 people signed up and PAID early on or fill in any gaps with randoms/other people we know.

What would people's thoughts be on attempting to get a clanbox together? Would you prefer it or would you instead prefer to be on one of the main floors with everyone else? Were you to want to come, would you be in a position to pay for your ticket very early on after they become available (potentially straight after Easter) so that we could reserve a box?

I am interested in coming to i40, I am interested in a magic box, and I should be able to pay straight off.

i'll definitely be at i40, not too bothered whether we get a box of magic or not, if we have enough people then sure why not

I'm defo going, again not too bothered about the box bit. Likely we'd have to split the box with another clan though.

You'd be surprised - we got 16 people last year and I know a number of people who weren't around last year that have certainly expressed an interest in coming...

Yes to i40, box I'm not bothered about, as I haven't been to Newbury before so either way it's all new to me. I know that Spicy, Oblivion and Chrononaut are all up for i40, so that's potentially 4 of us.

In terms of payment, I should be ok to pay early, as should Spicy. The other two I'm not entirely sure about as they've just got a place together and they've not got alot of free cash to throw about. Still, they're going either way, so should be able to persuade them to pay earlier rather than later :p

Quite possibly! Depends on if I have enough overdraft left over to cover such costs. . . .

well i39 hasn't happened yet and I don't know when the tickets for i40 will become available at the moment, as there is now a new LAN inbetween i39 and i40 - I have asked the question on the multiplay forums and will reply when I have more info :)

ok just had a convo with one of the MP staff on IRC and he says that currently we should work on the assumption that i40 tickets will be made available during or very shortly after i39, obviously that is subject to change though
