Last Bundaberg Sojourn?
Well it had been quite a journey. I'd like to write more but it has been hard work this month.
We have come a long way since starting back in 2011 with this [blog]. Seen many people come and go, played a lot of league of Legends. Became an official incorperated association then let it lapse for lack of boardmembers. Now it is time to hand over the reigns to a younger crowd. Not sure who as yet. There are several other groups like this in town, but we never quite organised the big event that everybody thought would be a great idea.
I have had quite a bit of fun exercising my creative writing skills here and coming up with a new theme each fortnight or so. I also really enjoyed streamiling the logistics of our events as can be seen in [95]. Always trying to ensure there is one game people can all play together, though its also OK if you turn up for a chat and to help with Install Wars.
WHEN: Monday week, 4th December
WHERE: Upstairs at the Hicks
WHAT: What games are planned as major events? LoL, Artemis AoE2, Frozen throne
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?
Comment below to discuss. Otherwise, see you there!

97 - Get Online on August Nine
Time to take stock of yourself, consider the future and the past. Ten years ago I was playing online games at university, LOL was probably not a thing? I was doing a research project of fish brains, had an old car and not even considered buying a house.
Ten years from now? Still playing games online, probably some sort of augmented reality Bass battle against Goku like in "Scott Pilgrim Vs the World". Maybe I'll be teaching my kids how to build their own PC. Perhaps I'll be managing the local distillery, travelling overseas or a fully fledged Lutheran Pastor. I'm pretty sure only one of the games below will survive the time travel.
UPDATE:
Probably going to join the Bowes Clan at [Beach 365] for a closer look at the [Vive] system from 6 till seven, you also need to book in advance.
WHEN: August 9th, 1900-2400
WHERE: Wind room
WHAT: LOL, Boarderlands, Rocket League, Lego, Artemis
WHAT TO BRING: Arrange food and drink here

96: Nun and Void
Your arguments are invalid. This is a worthwhile theme to pursue. My little space sister will sidle into town soon. Mainly to see other people, but a sojourn set in space is now scheduled for our ninety sixth. I've sequestered a second spare PC, which may not be enough for a full Artemis HUD, but is sufficiently setup for an engineer or scientist. I've also two surplus monitors to loan at this time.
I'm Nominating Josh as El Capitan, otherwise he will likely mutiny and go rouge if we take to long to delegate roles. I'll forfeit my chair to play the Janitor until everybooty knows the score. But I may stay on as Chief, Cook and Bottle washer.
We will keep a few things in the Hold, for use in stormy weather:
Frozen Throne; might help to set the scene and initiate the newbs.
Rocket League; really needs a trial run with two Xbox, Dan/Michelle/Tony to facilitate.
LOL; for late at night after all the rum has gone.
If you know any other Sisters willing to try their hand at sailing in space we're encouraging them to jump on board. It's easy enough to pickup an oar and Josh, Ben, Nicole, James can shoulder some of the burden for you.
Incidentally if you want to try out a real ship for a month or two years have a look at http://www.mercyships.org.au/ The longer you stay the cheaper the rent, it seems like they will take almost anybody: bottle washer, heart surgeon, nurse, store clerk, chaplain, perhaps even a Nun, I'm sure there is a void for two. I have a couple of Ex-pat contacts if you want more details or there was apparently a bit of a docco last night on channel seven.
WHEN: 14/7/16 From 1600 till 2400
WHERE: Wind Room - bring a scarf
WHAT: Mainly Artemis [Spaceship Simulator]
WHAT TO BRING: Arrange food and drink on Facebook
WHO: Who's expected to be coming? Who is coming late? Who is leaving early? Who doesn't have a computer?

Sojourn95: Airforce Windows
Was going to have a Car rally/Scavenger hunt with the people from for Mission Aviation Fellowship (MAF) But in the end this event folded for lack of numbers. So plan B is to spend all day sitting inside.
Now it is possible that Raskalnickoff will be keen for ESO or Rocksmith from 1100. Otherwise Raskal and VRBones will be at the Elliot, battling with the Elements.
Therefore the focus will be Dusk till Dawn, Instruments only night flight. Also in commemoration of our 95th official event and because winter is coming, I've prepared the Frozen Throne. Fit for Carnac's Maul and Elemental TD. Though we do have ~2GB of scenarios to chose from. Our other 95 game will be the old Killing floor, we have a "copy" but I believe everypeon actually owns this game now.
I've also thought to entertain Vect0r's XBOX crew, so we should all have a copy of Rocket League, and be prepared to stoop to using an actual XBOX. Failing that the old staple of League of Legends, there will be some type of weekend event that we can run through.
Now for Vect0r's benefit here is what you should bring:
If a GUEST //i.e. Jez Ploy
THEN nothing needed, whoever invited you will have you covered or tag team with you;
Else If a NOVICE // miniVR
THEN Your own hardware, PC setup or Laptop;
Else If a REGULAR // Fletch && leamonnewt
THEN equipment of a NOVICE; //Note at this level it is acceptable to play InstallWars
AND power supply board, Ethernet cable, optional offering of sustenance;
Else EXPERT_SOJOURNER // VRBones, Drag0rx, Samwise
THEN equipment of a REGULAR;
AND Switch, Ethernet cables, patched/updated games, offering of Sustenance, Optional GUEST;
END If;
// it will be up to yourselves to determine which category you qualify for or if a category exist only to qualify you.
WHEN: 20160618 1750
WHERE: Wind Room, Duncraigen
WHAT: LOL, Killing Floor, Frozen Throne, Rocket League, ESO, Rocksmith
WHAT TO BRING: Arrange food and drink below, otherwise see above.
