It has widely been reported that the last lan was a disaster with the network in such poor shape that there was insignificant gaming on Satuday and the tournaments cut short on Sunday (Network was fine on Sunday but there wasnt enough time to finish the tournaments).
This is a lan for players new to CS and new to the lan scene. Good luck guys. Those who have been to a lan before and heard about/attended landed II will be judging you on this lan. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Guys, if you don't want to come then that's fine. If you've been thrown out in the past then you can't come and that should be fine too. How about we leave each other to get on with our lives? This petty bickering isn't helping anyone.
If anyone isn't sure why they are banned, then I suggest they spend a small amount of time reading our rules. Any further questions about why what you were doing was in breach of event rules, site rules and the law then feel free to contact me.
Acumen - I fully appreciate people will be judging us on this lan. People judge on every lan. Having people slating us into the ground before the event has got under way doesn't help. Judge on the series as a whole and you cannot slate us so badly. How about you keep any snide comments to yourself and let us get on with it. That goes to anyone from Colours, SO19 or any other disgruntled clans with a bone to pick. Although L2 fell foul of networking problems and wasn't as smooth as our first one, your own comments speak for themselves; "simon simon we love you thanks for your work m8. Likewise Coops, Foosty, Phle, MrChumble and anyone I have rudely omitted. -On behalf of the colours team [Otis and Acumen]"
A quick message to anyone who was 'sat in the back of a car' and innocent: Funny how you were a lot more sheepish about the whole affair while I was deciding on whether to inform relevant parties parents or not, not mentioning the police. You agreed to the rules, you broke the rules, what did you possibly expect? I don't really want to dig it all up again, mostly because I can't be bothered and would rather let sleeping dogs lie; but rest assured I 100% stand by my own decisions at the time and those made by my crew.
Lets get on with our lives, there's no need to dig up old dirt. L2 wasn't as good as it could have been. We're doing our very best to make up for that in a big way - why do you feel it necessary to p*** all over our parade? How about you give us a chance to prove that the good feeling of L1 can be repeated? If not, then mores the pity. We will still have an event, whether you slate it or not. It's just a shame you can't wish us all the best.
If anyone wants to take up any issues with me directly, feel free.

No I am not going to sit here and let sleeping dogs lie after the s*** you and coops stir up. I thanked Jim, Chris & Steve for their work as I have met them many times and despite ups and downs get on with them. I also thanked you for your work organising the event and suggested it was a pity that the work put in wasnt reflected in the result - ie a f***ing s***e lan.
The issue I have is that you wont let the issue lie, banning several well liked members of the community because you think that one person rolling a joint with maybe a teenth of weed is justly dealt with by permanently banning (i assumed you would be reasonable after the event and revoke the ban tbfh).
If you have called the police you think they would have locked these guys up for life? What one person with a teenth of weed (which magically disappeared anyway ;/) is going to result in 5 guys getting locked up? The police would have been more likely to caution you for wasting their f***ing time...
Actually the thing that p***ed me off the most was the suggestion that colours deliberately sabortaged the event and further that the driver of the car was intoxicated himself (taking the focus of the blame from yourselves) and dont bs me saying you dont know what I am talking about. Strangely the five of us know only to well. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

I aren't gonna bulls*** or make lies just to spite you, i hope landed does well for the sake of the ppl who put lots of work in but when you use excuses like "don't blame us we dont get paid" makes you look pretty amateur.
Don't make bs up about me. Don't make out your lan was fine when it was the worst ive ever been to, for network performance wise and general organisation. You never even wanted to discuss letting any of the ppl back in just because of your pathetic stubborn nature. CIX wont be going again because Chum knows how blatently wrong you all were, so you have lost many loyal laners.
The sad thing is Landed 1 was so much fun and you almost made it really successful. Pity its all gone to s*** now cos 128 ppl is just a pipe dream with your reputation...
btw if anyone wants a list of the reasons why you shouldnt go ill give you one. I aint bitter, we had a laugh in the end, but making stuff up is not on... [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

:P
To be honest Lads, if you were the Landed Crew, and you caught someone smoking weed on the uni grounds, when the uni said: "no week or else". You might have done the same things. The event may well have been closed down for good. And as im sure ive said else where, i wouldnt have fancied a walk back home, cos some little pubesecents decided they couldnt have a joint in a subtle, hiden, non on LAN location.
And to be honest, who gave a s*** we didnt have a network for the first half of the day. I had plenty of people i wanted to talk to.
If you want an uber gaming event, with high network status, go and pay £75 for an i series LAN.
Rather than a LAN like landed which cost you £15, and is run by Uni students, and friends.
Stop crying, about being banned, if you had such a s*** time, cos u couldnt play cs with your 20GB configs for half a day. If you had a s*** time, you wont give a pap about not coming.
The LAN was spoilt by little arseholes, and not the crew.
Smoking weed, and jepodising the LAN, Stealing networkcards, and then complaining cos they didnt work, Stealing mice, keyboards.
Oh what fun. I love it when my mate gets his LAN card nicked whilst he left his PC for 2 secs. If i ever see that guy again, it will be more than his LAN card he needs a replacement for.
Grow up lads. Get over it. They aint out to make money, they are providing a cheap LAN, that perhaps isnt the same as i15 or so. But who gives one?
And i like a joint as much as the next man, but i didnt have to smoke in the uni car park, under aces nose. So why did you?
:)

10:22 11/3/2003
lol we are all at i15 actually - i14 kind of made up for the landed disaster last time round.
And really wake up... weed is not heroin, it is not something low lifes are smoking in the gutter. The police really dont give a s*** and neither does any university I have been to (thats quite a few) so I dont buy that either. Have you ever walked thru SoHo and wondered why the police do nothing about that oh so sweet smell in probably the most policed area of the UK? NO ONE GIVES A f*** [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

11:51 11/3/2003
Acumen, the above quote was from your post with regards L1. My point was that the most recent lan wasn't as good as it could have been, but as a series we're still ahead of average. Yes, it was a pity that the work put in wasn't reflected in the result - so why not give us another opportunity?
Why the need to put everything down as dead? We're not flogging a dead horse, we're just recovering from an event that had some network problems. I've been to my own fair share of lans, and at most there have been problems of some sort, and at many they involved the network. It doesn't mean I got all b***hy about it and decided to flame everything they ever did in the future. When the L2 network was down, it was up and down sporadically, but at least when it was up everything functioned 100%.
With regards the members of the 'banded' crew. While on the university site, I am personally responsible for every attendee at a landed event. This is two-fold, not only am I president of the society that has invited them on-campus but I'm a member of the Ents Crew running the event. In a similar manner, Kryton and Coops are members of Ents Crew and the society and are also responsible for attendees actions, especially Kryton as a senior member of the Crew.
This is why, when there are four people in a badly parked car with an interior light on, 30 ft from the manned university guard house and 40ft from a police station, one of whom who had been quite blatently stoned earlier in the evening it was in the best interests of everyone present to intervene. I'm not exaggerating when I say that had the gatehouse guard spotted you on one of his regular patrols (and I feel it's fair to say you were in no way, shape or form subtle in your location) you would have been in exactly the same situation, although the guys on the gate wouldn't have been so understanding with regard letting you back onto the campus to collect your equipment. Not only that, but the event would have more than likely been closed there and then with everyone being turfed out by university security. Three of us could have lost our jobs and there is no question that there would have been no more landed events. Now can anyone really, honestly, tell me that we went over the top?
In all honesty, I had a brief discussion with coops shortly after this UKT post went up with regards the possibility of allowing the banded crew to return to landed. Judging from individuals' behaviour on the boards however I'm fairly convinced that the people who are stirring it would neither be welcome again nor would want to come again.
I refer once again to the event rules posted on our website, they've not changed since L1 and read as follows; "illegal substances will NOT be allowed or tolerated. If the university staff spot them then you're likely to have them confiscated, be hauled out of the event and have the police called. Extreme isn't the word. ... Leave them behind for the weekend."
You broke the rules. We followed the rules. Please, don't lets drag this on any further, while digging up old dirt gives me something to do while I'm at work, I'd much rather spend my time getting on with my life and making future events better. I hope you have a good time at i15, and I hope it's at least 4 times better than L3, just so you can get your moneys worth.
Once again, If anyone wants to take up any issues with me directly or feels they have been hard done by and wants to discuss any reasons for my actions then feel free. If however, you're more than aware of why what happened happened, then I suppose you'd best carry on slating me and my team in public for doing our level best.

I understand where you were coming from at the time which is why I was cooperative but post lan it was blown out of all proportion. Especially considering at least one of your own admins was smoking weed (an allegation conveniently ignored in this forum). Dont you think it would be nice if 5 months on you could say yes ppl behaved inappropriately but I am willing to forgive and forget? Fragster is supposed to be a clanmate of yours ;/
Your posts in general have been a voice of moderation. I do believe it was Mr Coops who has been stirring things up on behalf of the Landed crew team - but as the team leader I expect you will stand right behind him all the way. I just dont want to see ppl I know going to a lan where their expectations will be let down. In respect to the price of the ticket it may have cost me only £20 to get into Landed II compared to £60 i14 but that is an insignificant cost when compared to the cost of hirecars, fuel and a weekend of your free time (and organising a clan to attend).

Lan Ticket :: £20
Travel Lodge (B@nded Location) :: £40
Total = £115
I wouldnt complain about the money if it wasnt for the fact i didnt get to play a game, and i didnt break any of your rules - didnt get any sympethy though - oh and fragster never touched any weed either btw. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

I was responsible for 4 under 18s at the lan in addition to 2 ppl who were banned so I couldnt really take the 2 back to London and go back to see the others off and make another trip back to London for the other guys could I : P [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Regardless I feel I ought to mention that it wasnt me 'stirring' up stuff post Lan, in fact I think you'll find Ace (who is not just 'team leader' also happens to be my best mate) and I were simply replying to the verbal barrage that we received on this very website. I suggest the stirring up of anything that happened to be more the responsibility of those involved. We didnt post a 'look what happened our or event' post, you guys did.
On a further note I feel in our favour, many of the problems we faced at Landed 2 we have learnt from. We have more time to set up, better servers and switches (thanks to Intel) and completely new tournament staff in the shape of Newbie and Denz. I'd ask that we weren't tarred with the Landed 2 brush, but simply given another chance.
Acumen if you feel you have something you personally want to take up with me regarding my actions please do not hesitate to drop me an email.

If you've any information on my crew, please take it up confidentially in private with me - rest assured I'll deal with it as I see fit, all email to the usual address (this isn't an idle comment - I really would like to know any information you have on this matter because I'm not aware of it and it concerns me greatly)
I'd like to apoligise for any of my crews comments which were inaccurate or judgemental, however I'd ask for people to think hard about what they themselves have said in the past which may have been an exaggeration or unfair comment before they come out with accusations against myself or crew for the same.
Acumen - once again I'd like to thank you for your handling of the situation and for acting admirably in the position of mediator. Sorry if any unfair comments were levelled at you, but bear in mind that your strong opinions often come across as unnecessary slating or slagging off.
Snarc - if you're still trying to claim you were just looking for badgers then all well and good. Bear in mind the extra £40 for the travel lodge is not my fault. I was thinking about lifting the ban, as I previously mentioned. However I suggest you read through your own comments on this thread. You've been sarcastic, harsh, unfair and plain rude as well as resorting to personal insults on a particularly touchy subject. Frankly, I don't want to see you for a while. Maybe in an event or so's time, I'll think about it. Keep up this childish barrage of abuse and I won't be altogether tempted to invite you to anything.
If CIX or MrChumble have something to take up with me then I suggest they mention it, as I've heard nothing. As always I'm more than willing to discuss, debate and argue over any subject in the past but would much rather let it lie. I don't like airing dirty laundry in public, but if that's the way it's preferred then so be it.
Personally, I'm looking forward to a good event. If anyone out there isn't, then why not just ignore it? If we're as s*** as you make out then our events will die soon enough anyway - what's the need for your involvement?

I am sorry but there is no way I am naming the guy. That would present you with the dilema of finally admitting you overreacted given what was going on or ditching the admin and continuing the quest against the all deadly narcotic weed (which no one else including the authorities seems bothered about). If you wish to suggest that I am fabricating this please feel free (but I would suggest you talk privately with your guys first)
