ATK lan

[Isphera]

Plus, I will refuse to do anything if you control freak it.

Tbh chalex it will a lot easier to organsie this with ez as his networking and computer skills are some of the best in the community. Also as it was his initial idea I think he should lead the project along side you, with you maybe concentrating on sponsorship

This.


The LAN is ez's brainchild, so I'm with him leading it if poss.

[ez64]

It's just I thought it was a good enough deal anyway by me taking all the risk and most of the setup logistics’ and for you guys just to have a good social lan then for the branding use you will have the website fully tied into these forums and thus you gain new members and perhaps donations on a regular basis to ATK meant special lan privileges/discounts but this ofc would need to be talked about with chalex/chazlene.

And then I have offered money from the profits if there are any and of course everyone would know the turnover figures from public entry costs.

If you do however want a fully ATK lan though please do go for it and I will give some help along the way but at the end I would expect to be a participant and not full time staff.

Ez is part of ATK chalex therefore it will still be run by ATK and I think you would be out voted by most people in ATK on this chalex, just take a back seat and do the job your givin catering , no seriously you need to devote your time to finding sponsors as this is definately what your good at. Ez already said he will even front the initial set up costs and prob has most of the networking gear required.

Plus you have the common sense of a squirel chalex so I trust Ez judgement on somethings a bit more

[Calneon]

I definately think Ez should manage it, but I think Chalex does have good management skills so they can kind of work together on that. I'd be up for any hardware stuff and maybe help chalex with the catering. I think all of us would be able to sit down a game for a good amount of the time if we organise it well.

Gotta go to Martial arts now

Yeah I agree Gary, we should do security ourselves.

Also, great idea, how about we go on Dragon's Den?

[Isphera]

but I think Chalex does have good management skills

What weed have you been smoking??

EDIT;

Bring it

[ez64]

I did almost just piss myself , seriously though this will be a good LAN.


All in all after forum jokes though I will in the end want some kind of personal profit from the event and will pay for people's efforts personally once the events do bring in enough money and of course something around the 20% marker for ATK donations as well as LAN discounts for ATK donators or something along those lines.
(these numbers for personal profit unless every lan has 40+ people does usually amount to just about paying the petrol for a LAN, all of this highly depends on what kind of deals we get for venue renting/utility bills/table renting)

Chalex however I do believe however would not expect any money for running the lan for himself and would probably put everything back into ATK bare this in mind please if it does come to some kind of vote.

[Isphera]

Nah, I prefer your way. And like I said, I'm more than happy to manage the number crunching and business side of stuff.

[Target]

I don't think anyone minds you makin a small profit, so long as the ATK members go free or at cost. When I say free I mean, doing a lot of helping thoroughout the Lan to earn it ofc

[Chalex4]

Don't get me wrong, I would very much like to co-run a LAN with ez64 - that would be cool. What I'm not a big fan of is someone individually running something and taking the majority of the benefits from it and using the ATK name as well. I obviously need to talk to ez64 about this though, and will do asap.

As much as you joke about me and the ATK funds, just as ez64 said all revenue would go straight back to ATK if it was run in the conventional manner. This would mean that all the money that wasn't spent at the LAN would go straight into the next LAN, hopefully meaning a better LAN event next time and more discounts available for ATK.

[ez64]

Oh dont get me wrong the majority of profit would be spent on the next lans for better equipment/advertising/tournaments/raffle prizes/venue moves

[Isphera]

It's the situation I outlined before - Costs would include some recompense to those working and helping out over the weekend. But all profit after that has been removed would be used to invest in future lans.

EDIT - And you know my rule - If you don't want pics taken of you on the internet, don't get smashed off your face and ride dodgems where Harrison was camped with a camera.

[Chalex4]

Fair enough ez, but from my point of view having absolutely no control over what these so-called "ATK Lans" do just seems completely mad when I'm meant to be running ATK.

[Target]

LOL no one said you had no control Chalex Just less than usual, or does that scare you sooo much...OMG IVE LOST A TINY BIT OF CONTROL ARRAGRGRGGH

That aside, the most vital thing will be the timing as there will be a lot to consider for chalex and people who are in the first year at Uni
