I've been to 3 LANs this year already, and I'm having one this weekend/next weekend.
The only problem with bigger LAN parties is everyone having the same games. Pretty much everyone has UT2k4 and CS, but for a 48 hour LAN, that's really not enough. Also, watch out for people acting like dicks, stuff gets broken easy at a LAN. My brother went to one at a University a few months back and one conversation he over heard went-
"Why didn't you use the grease tray?"
"I didn't even KNOW there was a grease tray until it caught on fire!"
Yes... Competant cookers they were xDDD.
But yours sounds well organised, I hope you have fun. yeah, we also have a demo games offered on the local FTP server for anyone that gets bored and wants to play some other games
like last time we offered FEAR multiplayer demos, worms 3d multiplayer demo, and a bunch of other stuff i can't remember
but no one really cared for it, they just ended up doing their own things
and yeah there are always some people who are just annoying as all hell, especially the high schoolers we keep getting
we haven't had too much trouble with breaking stuff though, we make them sign something that if their stuff break it isn't our liability to pay for it, or fix it.
only thing that broke from what i remember was some stupid person just left their power supply laying on the floor several years ago and someone tripped over it, the wiring got ripped off
we also only do about 24 hours, since we dont' have enough man power to watch over everything for 48 hours, people get tired and bored from sitting there all day, and also annoyed that they are 'forced' into doing this on their free time.
