i43 Clan Box?

So, who's up for a luxury clan box?

A Clanbox is a private room that you and your friends can have all to yourselves, assuming you can fill it of course!

Located in private suites around the venue, the Clanboxes are essentially private meeting / dining rooms that we convert into little LAN gaming boxes of win! They are very luxurious, with their own air conditioning and are all fully lockable. We have two different sizes of Clanbox, which you will need 32 or 36 people with paid tickets to fill. SOURCE

I've got some mates at uni who are going with their COD team, but as there are only 8 of them they are looking to join up with us for a clanbox!

Not sure if we would want to do this, but worth seeing what you all think :). Could be fun.

Depending on the layout (reading multiplay posts it looks like it could be a decent size room (about 100 people) literally 1 door from the main hall, with dividers if wanted between clans.

If this is the car i would definatley be all for this :)

The big hall atmosphere wasn't really to my taste compared to a smaller, but still large group

Sounds okay, not bothered either way, if I get a CoD team sorted then they might want to join us in their as well...will prob find out in the next couple of weeks...

Small room + lots of pc's = sweat fest

I dunno.. it all seems a bit segregated, and I love the whole open aspect that Stoneleigh had..

Agree with this. Looking back on it, the huge hall at stoneleigh was a major detractor in experience for me compared to newbury, so since there's enough of us, I'd like to go for either a box or one of the smaller rooms.

Dedicated air con in the clan boxes.





And agree with Mitch, as long as it's not too segregated from the main event, definitely up for it.

I agree with this, I think it's a bit antisocial really getting a clanbox, plus think about if we're promoting Novint or whoever again, and we want to use the projector.

Chazle raises some good points about advertising, but is calex actually going to get any this year?> he doesnt seem as focus as normal.

sounds cool, as long as the other people we are with are cool, but theres no reason they wouldn't be :D

Don't you have to pay for clanboxes? If so where's all that money coming from :p

Lol really - having seen it, it makes me want them more. Watch it again and imagine it without the chairs and with desks across the room and not around it - more than enough room.

More than enough room; For 7 of us.

I was under the assumption there would be about 100 in the room with us, which I was up for, just having a couple of us would be a no imo

Seriously guys what is the attraction of a clan box? And we really can't have one if we're going to be using the projector to advertise.

With the clan boxes, there is easily space for a good 30 people in rows of desks.

Although with them being not attached to the main hall they wont be as social as it could be.

Would still be happy with both.

I was thinking that surely it'd be a better idea to do the "normal" BYOC arrangement this year, so we'd get to experience this new venue properly and advertise to 3000 people :D.

Then we can check out the clan boxes, and make a real decision about it next year. At this point it's all speculation.

Yeah I'm with Chalex on this one, we ca have a nosey at them this year and then make a decision for next year

Advertising you say.......

If you get good sponsors chalex, then big hall would be win...like a decent mouse company would be nice...might get some free mice/keyboards, maybe not the big brands but like smaller gaming ones???

Even with it, my vote still stays with clan boxes. I remember what Stoneleigh was like, and that many people in one space is just not fun.

They'll probs keep the lights off again....

haha Hutch where di you learn to translate Northern??? But yes I would like a new mouse or gfx card???

Who needs lights when you have monitors?

(DreamHack photos show how bright it can look)

I think I would go blind if I had no light except my monitor for 3 days.

/agree

/agree as well - and given the fuss they kicked up about lights being on at i34 and multiplay then refusing to turn them back on, unless that changed at i37, I have to assume something similar will happen here. With the clan box, we actually get light and have greater control as to what we do with the place in terms of conditions and what we do. Doesn't stop us having banners and/or projectors and walking round advertising with shirts.

To be honest the minor luxuries of air con and being able to use a light switch does not outweigh the social aspect of being in one of the main gamer halls.

/agree with Chazl

What do you mean? You're still in the same room as 36 other people. Is that not enough for you?

With me it's not, it'll be just like a bedroom LAN-Party, except I'm paying nearl £100 for the privilege.

At i40, did you interact with anybody outside of the two rows we had?

No he needs 3000 sweaty men
