Expect answer/booking from me then in the next couple of days
(ill be going anyway if im not on staff just i now miss discount :( )
I've just seen a lot of clans that are sponsored by Asus and Nvidia. Sure, we won't get a massive sponsorship deal, but every little helps.
I'll of course have a couple of backup options. I may create a thread on that at some point. I'll probably end up asking Novint again anyway, but I'm not sure I'm up for promoting them in the same way again.
We kinda want to be different from the main bunch, which is why I reckon that Novint was a good deal in the first place.
I agree with not demo-ing the Novint in the same way again, but I'd happily use my PC if we do end up demoing something again.
I can have a scout around for some companies if you want me to.
I'll keep you all updated with what happens :).
Who is Robin Henderson (splinter) by the way? Is he one of your mates Mitch? It's nice to see a new person coming along.
Forgot to pay before the deadline by acident and I cba to pay £100 odd when I really need to save money.
Sorry guys gonna have to miss this one, would still be up for an ATK lan if it happened though or might come down and spectate.
That sucks dude! Hope to see you there, even if you just come as spec.
I made sure I got mine paid before the deadline for that reason... My dad owes me money at the moment anyway.
Hopefully I'll have my own car by then anyway (Damn well hope so)
Surely you've been enough times to qualify for the discount? I can get it and I've only been to i30, i31, i33, i34, i37.Quote:

Might book after all but wont be paying for EAS but will arrive on thursday.
I think we're not using EAS this time around...
which is a shame, because I've already booked it.
I've got EAS, pretty sure Chaz has it as well, most likely a few others too.
I might get it then
Allan, Kyle, Rob and Jo are now all booked, payed and placed on our row.
I;m their seat manager so i can move them around when the time comes.
Giles your coming right?
I'm pretty sure where arriving on thursday but not using eas, would be good for us all to get know each other and have a laugh me thinks. Eas last time was a bit fail with the network not fully working and our row having constant power cuts
It's good to hear that you're coming Giles :). Let us know when you've booked. I believe this is the list so far:
- Chalex4 (might also have 1 uni friend going)
- Chazlene
- Bloo
- Trigger (hopefully sitting with us)
- Phantom
- Colonel Mitch
- RainY (Mitch's friend)
- aln (Mitch's friend)
- splinter (Mitch's friend)
- Misa (Mitch's friend)
- Target
- Cillit Bang
- ez64
- D_K_Head
- VH
- Marshy
- Vox
- Paper Tiger
I spoke to darkeagle and him and darkpidgeon are thinking of going with us. If we start to exceed 20, then we'll just have to contact multiplay and find some extra space :p.
Shit mitch when did you get so many friends? xD
I'm not getting EAS 'cos I'm turning up a day late (I think, will have to confirm). I have a wedding to go to on the Friday
lol @ Trigger :D
so you know there was a defrag on the seats earlyer!! its unlocked again now!
Thanks for the heads up but we appear to still be sat in the same place unless it hasn't updated yet, although some random cod player has sat himself in our row :S
Yeah, we're still in same place, with some CoD noob sitting on our row >.<
Looks like a few more people have come who I don't recognise; but it's not much of a problem eh? - Should I go to =EWG= and inform them that one of their guys is on our row? I've got a good aim for kneecaps.

I've moved our guy from your row, was just trying to get our 4 guys together and thought that your one guy may move nicely on to the row with other ATK members which has a space... 0_o
Ah cheers for doing that, sorry though but we might have 20 of us going to i40 so it's likely that we need the entirety of both rows.Quote:

Thanks for moving aBhorsen, it seems the seating plan needs a defrag at least once a week now lol.
I haven't started with the sponsors yet, but I'll certainly try the best I can.
I probably wouldn't go for Nvidia AND Ati though!
I doubt you'd get either TBF - since they'd probably require all of us to use one or the other, and that isn't the case.
In terms of sponsorship I agree with what Target said, we should try to get sponsored by a company that produces headphones, mice, keyboards, etc... so they'd be able to actually give some free merchandise which we can give to members who help out the most at i40, just like we did with the Falcons at i37.

Also yes it does make more sense to get a peripheral manufacturer on the list - saitek maybe?
Either way the more sponsors the better. having saitek doesn't exactly mean we cant also have AMD and nvidia or whatever if they were to say yes.
"we should try to get sponsored by a company that produces headphones, mice, keyboards, etc..."
Like I said a few pages back - Saitek Cyborg, high quality stuff, a logo that will look good on our shirts and it'll coincide with their new mice that are coming out, it's poifick.
Get Logitech, Goldring or Sennheiser and free merchandise, will <3 haha
Not logitec please... I've had WAY too many problems with their webcams and mics to feel good about having their logo on my back...
Logitech is cool, gave me a free G500.
Yes totally agree with vox, also ask Razor and other keyboard/mouse manufacturers :D
Protip, RMA them. You will nearly always get a return for free :).Quote:

Anything i should know about buying the tickets/living arrangements?
Living Arrangements -
In a tent, with slimy stuff crawling all over you. That may have just been down to my young looks though (Whoever gets that, +1 hug)
Buying Tickets - There's an option to pay for Early Arrival Service, which means you can turn up the day before the first day of i40 and set up your PC and stuff so you're instantly ready the next day. Some of us have got it, but if you don't you can still arrive on the day before and set up you tent, and just sleep with your computer or whatever. When you make your account put your clan tag as |ATK|, will make stuff easier, plus when choosing your seat we're the large group of purple squares on the Berkshire Stand 1st floor.
Living Arrangements - Bring your own tent, sleep in your car, or there will be space in one of the big tents we're bringing. If you get there before anyone else find a decent large enough camping spot for all of us and make a perimeter of urine to mark our territory, finally don't boast about have a pop-up tent because it'll get thrown in a skip.
