34: Post Apocalypse

How may games are set now? having just undergone a huge turmoil and change we take the first few steps outside. blinking out eyes as we look on the new world that awaits us.

If the world ended I didnt notice, I suppose thats my revelation?

WHEN: thurdsay 27th December ~4PM till 12PM

WHERE: Wind room

WHAT: E.Y.E Divine cybermancy, Dungeon Defenders, TF2, NotoriousDB. I dont think we have many post apocalyptic games in out repertoire currently.

WHAT TO BRING: Arrange food and drink here

WHO: Who's expected to be coming? Who is coming late? Who is leaving early? Who doesn't have a computer?

Plenty of time lect to pick up Dungeon defenders if you dont have it, see here. It's my current favorite charity of choice.

Having only a vauge Idea of who will be attending I'd like to remind people to bring a PC (prefferably with windows) a powerboard and a RJ-45 cable. Also reading the constitution overleaf is probably a good idea. The game list though needs updating.

If you want your profile added to the members page send the details to Dan and ask Sam to make you a picture.

I know Stephan doesnt have a PC, but he should be able to use my Linux box to play TF2 and Notorious.

Le reditum Deo

From whenst hast thou come o brother of mine?
and what of thy sojourn, voltooi?
Verblijven luttel termijn 休息

WHEN: Thursday 13th of December @ 4pm till 12pm

WHERE: Wind room, although there is currently a bit of blockage.

WHAT: ROTMG, NotoriousDB, 16Comяads (aka Factor Friends), EYE Divine Cybermancy, that F2P NASA space co-op game on Steam.
More suggestions welcome, particularly from Stephan and Christen as I believe you have the least # of games.

WHAT TO BRING: I've got electricity and rain prevention covered. Josh has left some hard liquor for us, although more than me and VR may be drinking this time. Will let Joseph and Christen sort out soft drinks and probably all chip in for Lester St Pizza.

WHO: Rofl is still in Rocky, J&D Hicks on holiday, Deo decided to show, Christen can come, Eduard may be bored, Stephan has 4 laptops and a PC he can borrow, Tony'll turn up and I am available.
All others unknown.


Also inconveniently Eduard's 1GB per day of Skype was unexpected and so my Internet has been double capped, I'm unwilling to restore the speed with my own money, thus we probably cannot play LOL or GW2 or any other game hosted by a server.

And another thing. Dan needs to update our games list, particularly for free games as I dont know who owns what.

Comment below to discuss. Otherwise, see you there!

Absent: Pagent of Lights Parade

Rather than not doing an update at all I'm announcing a non-sojourn. Josh and Dan are on holidays and I've ended up pretending to be Joseph for our church's float.

WHEN: ^th December @ 1700 for tea, up the main street @ 1800, to finish ~2015

WHERE: StJohns Lutheran Church

WHAT: The real reason for Advent (the real reason for Xmas being Mercantilism, and thus ending on the 25th when coincidentally the 12 days of Christmas begin.)

WHAT TO BRING: Apparently I am to take sandals and nothing else is required.

WHO: Well there will be lots of people there.

While it is possible to have our regular sojourn start at 9pm I think it unlikely. I dare say out routine will be a little different over the next month, with more weekend sojourns and the like. Brother Joseph will be around at some point and I have yet another extra person staying with me.

Katana and Foil

Some things are made to hurt people,
Some to look scary or intimidating.
Some will be used, others just decorating.
Some things chaotic, some require order.
and some will rest neetly on the boarder.

WHEN: 4PM on the 22nd of November, (its a thursday)

WHERE: Wind room

WHAT: LOL, minecraft, Notorious DB

WHAT TO BRING: Arrange food and drink below

WHO: Who's expected to be coming? Who is coming late? Who is leaving early? Who doesn't have a computer? (Note: I have one spare PC on account of an upgrade, but there is a reason for that.)

Comment below to discuss. Otherwise, see you there!

30: Stubble Supernova

Bearlessness is been and gone.
stubble has surmounted my skin,
precariously preparing to propegate.

Also, the final chance for a discourse on the logistics of the land voyage to supernova.

3 hours later DraX arrived, Tawyn mand an ethereal appearence and we did a jumping puzzle.

Another 4 hours later I had two new achievements, 

so we had a small dance party at the top of the

Dreamdark Enclave

Pre Sojourn Sojourn

IF you pre-purchased GW2 and have the 3 day headstart
THEN we are planning something to make use of the bonus time
ELSE dont work about it and see you on Thursday to play PayDay.
END Query

WHAT: Backup is LOL, Kiteflying & Notorious.
WHAT TO BRING: PC, food will be sorted after people arrive.

WHO: Raskalnickoff, Poominator, VRBones & xXDrag0rXx
The GW2 server will probably crash anyway.
Do we all need to be the same race to start together?
What class are you planning?

Sojourn 20 - Day for Pay

Payday was I think the first steam sale game we all picked up for lanning. Wow there are a lot of sales, I've also got LFD2 and Dungeon Defenders 8player pack.
This week is rather busy so I'm postponing the next sojourn for a week, this gives us a bit more time for getting a nwn2 character started.
WHEN: second of august at 4pm
WHERE: Wind rome
WHAT: Payday, LFD2, Dungeon Defenders, LOL, WOT, ProgressQuest.
WHAT TO BRING: Arrange food and drink here

WHO: Who's expected to be coming? Who is coming late? Who is leaving early? Who doesn't have a computer? Stephan is in town for ~6months and is without a PC but interested in seeing what we do.

Comment below to discuss. Otherwise, see you there!

Seems to me that 75% discount + less $ than a schooner = no free time

Lan 19 - living on borrowed time

There have been an awful lot of emergency sojourns of late, what with the uni break and extra people in town. One day we should return to fortnightly. This one is for Levi and Joseph who wont be with us for much longer.

WHEN: 4pm FRIDAY, 13th July.

WHERE: Beach

WHAT:Lol is still a reliable lan game (less so when we're at Tony's house :P), but Levi hasn't a PC. So we will have another bash at Guitar Hero on the PS3. I dare say somebody will need to play Skylanders too. Also update your EYE, Dungeon Defenders and install Progress Quest / World of Tanks.

WHAT TO BRING: Sam with Pepsi. Dunno whats for tea, maybe something to do with Friday 13th?

WHO: Who's expected to be coming? Who is coming late? Who is leaving early? Who doesn't have a computer?

Comment below to discuss. Otherwise, see you there!

Lan 18 - I can totally post these from the toilet now. HAHA! INTERNET!

Another Thursday, another Lan

WHEN: Thursday July 5th, 4pm-ish to midnight

WHERE: Windroom

WHAT: Probably some LoL with gratuitous amounts of nothing in between

WHAT TO BRING: Sam has pepsi, other stuff can be sorted out as per usual

WHO: Sam will be showing up somewhere between 4 and 5. Ben and Levi will likely be on the grounds already. Eddie, Tony, and a bunch of hicks are expected around about the normal times

Comment below to discuss. Otherwise, see you there!

Lan 17 - Troops, Regroup!

So pure coincidence means that Both Sam and Eddie are back in town for this Thursday. Signs point to a wind-room Lan on that date.



WHEN: Thursday 28th - 4pmish to midnight Expected starting time is close to 5. Expected first game time is closer to 7.

WHERE: Ben's Place - wind room. Sam has an extra folding table if necessary

WHAT: LANs have become less structured again, with no single game really planned, so I imagine events will include LoL and then some form of indie gaming with at least one person watching movies / coding / doing homework instead.
Also make sure that you have LOL, Notorious, Cybermancy, TF2, WoT, Minecraft & Terrariah all up to date. Will have a go at Notorious and Minecraft depending of how prepared VRBones and Drag0r are.

WHAT TO BRING: Sam will bring pepsi, we'll probably order in pizza so it'd be nice if someone brought cash this time. There are some burger rings from Josh as well that we forgot about last sojourn.

WHO: Sam, Eddie and Ben are keen. Tony and a bunch of Hicks haven't been consulted but can be expected. I'm looking into seeing if a Gaffel wants to come but no word yet.


Comment below to discuss. Otherwise, see you there!

Seems I doubble poasted, I'll add my 2 bob to your post sam :)

Always Summer Days: The Sequel

Not all of us have the full game, we need somebody to volunteer to be charismatic and do all the talky / shoppy stuff. Probably best that they are the main protagonist too. Raskalnickoff has probably played the game the furthest and VRBones probably knows the rule set the best. Leveling up may take a long time. I’m advising to not use any of the NPCs unless we specifically want a side quest. This will avoid them talking to each other.

Also this may take several sojourns to get into and we probably need the difficulty at max and save often. It’s very painful to have everybody dead and no recent saves.
WHEN: See the Calender over there -->

WHERE: Wind Room

WHAT: LoL+WoT FWOTD, NWN2 that should be plenty.

WHAT TO BRING: VRBones for drinks and the xXNam3Xx's for food. Although Lester St Takeaway seems like a pretty good idea to me.
WHO: Who's expected to be coming? Who is coming late? Who is leaving early? Who doesn't have a computer?



Below can you comment on your preferred role (Race/Class + endgame skill goal) If nobody else claims the burden on charisma Raskalnickoff can

Show Prefix Sojourn

Show day Public Holiday in Bundaberg, so we will celebrate wit an extended Sojourn.

WHEN: Thursday 31st of May, say ~ 12am? Potentially running from 0600 to 2400

WHERE: Wind room. Its actually living up to its title today.

WHAT: WoT, LoL, CoH, Orion Dino Beatdown (if it works), Drawsomething. M&B: Warband.

WHAT TO BRING: Ton for drinks and Josh for food? Will need Lunch this lan as well. If you are really keen breakfast is already sorted.

WHO: Expecting Dan, Josh, Tony, Ben. Dont know about any unibreak visitors. If there are extras comment below.

Comment below to discuss. Otherwise, see you there!

WWII

It wasnt a long was but it certainly inspired a lot of games

WHEN: 17th of the fith at 1600 hours

WHERE: Wind room

WHAT: World_of_Tanks, Company of heros, Full spectrum warrior, TF2, Lol, Dino Beatdown

WHAT TO BRING: I feel like old mother hubbard

WHO: VRBones should be here and Dan said he would arrive ~8pm. Other people will be a pleasant surprise.

I still haven got Dino beatdown to work for me, death = CTD.

A Vengeance Sojourn

An early sojourn to the the Avengers take vengeance on somebody, not really sure who the bad guys will be.
WHEN: Wed 6:45PM, earlier is OK.
WHERE: Wind room, moving onto the Hicks's then the Cinema, then Maccas.
WHAT: Watching a movie at 7:30, followed by a debrief.

WHAT TO BRING: May drop into the warehouse before the movie to get snacks..
WHO: VRBones, Jollybones, xXDrag0rXx & Raskalnickoff

Possibly to be followed up by a further sojourn in another alternate reality later in the evening or the following day. If so LOL should be updated, may try AOE once more, although it is annoying. My TF2 and Dungeon Defenders are up to date as well.

After Easter

Well I didnt find many easter eggs at the last sojourn, so I dont have much chocolate.

WHEN: 4PM on the afternoon of the 19th of April

WHERE: Wind Room
WHAT: Maybe Co-Op AOE if we can stomach "Windows Live". Also the new LOL patch has arrived and reset all your masteries. ~20min download for me this morning. Dan may have his minecraft server up. There is also Terraria, mad god, Dungeon Defenders, TF2 and EYE.
WHAT TO BRING: I found some coke on special during the week so I have that.
WHO: I may be early, Tony and Dan may be late. I dont know of any others. I'll post a reminder on FB and steam when I start.
Also I have a new latch on the door to hold it open better. I beleive Levi is having his LAND & Roast at the same time so we should be able to get some ARAMs going.

Easterling: A time of death and sadness

Part 2 of the Easter celebration

WHEN: Right here right now, until Jesus leaves the tomb on Sunday.

WHERE:By the Beach

WHAT: Possibly play the movie Journey, a little WizWar. LOL may be down because everybody wants to play on the long weekend. GT5, Where else can we look for Easter eggs?

WHAT TO BRING:Ben brought beer and nuts, not much else is here.

WHO: Half the current regulars have arrived. I dunno how many out of towners are in Bundy today.

Jesus in currently in the tomb.
I may spend all day in my room.
Will we see you soon?
By the sea, under the moon.

Easterlings

The critters of Easter begin to come out to play.
What surprises will we find today?

WHEN: Wednesday April the 4th at 4pm

WHERE: Wind room

WHAT: Stronghold assault in Minecraft, LOL, Dungeon Defenders, TF2. What else may have Easter eggs?

WHAT TO BRING: Real pizza was nice for a change, not burnt at all.

WHO: I may be too lazy to actually find this out.

In addition to the church services that may be listed here Raskalnickoff is heading to Cania gorge camping on Sunday. The rest of the holiday has miscellaneous possibilities that are as yet undetermined.

Madness

Madness, mayhem, masochism and maybe more.

WHEN: Thursday 8th march, 5pm

WHERE: Wind room

WHAT: Realm of the Mad god, LOL, Cybermancy, TF2, Terraria, Minecraft.

WHAT TO BRING: one pizza remains, all else is yet to arrive.

WHO: I categorically dunno at this stage.

Elgium, is now in open beta but it appears to be just another WOW clone. May be interesting.
I haven't actually played Tibia. and it sounds like an old game.

In addition floating the idea of Google Apps, and buying websites with .com and .asn TLD's

Lan 8 - Re-establishing Routine

Ben's back for the near future. So I can start to re-establish my routines now. Over the Christmas break we certainly have not been meeting fortnightly. I'm yet to determine if Uni will have an effect on the weekday, but I'm prepared to reform the fortnightly standard.
Incidentally Lent has started so Easter is only 40 days away. What will you sacrifice?


WHEN: 4:30PM 23 Feb 2012

WHERE: Wind Room

WHAT: Realm of the mad god, LOL, Dungeon Defenders, E.Y.E and hmm, that may be it? I dunno if brick force is avaliable yet. I think not many people got the Tribes skiing game to work. I've also signed up for the Elgium Beta, but haven't opened it yet.

WHAT TO BRING: Ben bought bananas. Pepsi and Pizza are not currently in stock.

WHO: Ben, Tony (~5PM), Dan, Josh, Simeon?
Levi, Joseph and San are Apologies

Farewell LAN

Farewell Sam

WHAT: Mining and crafting an LOLing, Jupiter's Folly

WHAT TO BRING: We have started already it should be fine.

WHO: Sam, Eddie, Joseph, Dan, Ben, Levi and VRBones??

Lan 6 - Lantastic

It Australia day. I think there was another lan before this but I wasn't there so I'm going to claim this as the first lan of the year. Tony and Ben have work off but are socialising till afternoon. This is going to be my last lan for a while as I'll be moving to Rocky for university for 2 terms.

WHEN: January 26th - anytime after 1-2pm to midnigh

WHERE: Tony's Place (bargara). Possibility of carpooling but more than likely everyone will rock up by themselves.

WHAT: Dungeon Defenders is almost a certainty. Other games will be decided on the fly as usual.

WHAT TO BRING: Sam just bought a $12 bag of pie at Bro's Bakery so there'll half a dozen of them to go around. Someone should totally buy a crate of pepsi max and comment here so I don't have to. Otherwise, probably bring a frozen pizza / bottle of softdrink per car and we should be set.

WHO: Expected: Sam and Tony will be there, Ben can come a little later - Eddie, Dan and Josh TBA. (Joseph is more than likely hundreds of kilometres away at this point.

Comment below to discuss, otherwise, see you there!

Also - someone else should take up the mantle making these posts once I'm in rocky -Sam
