props to Matt and Steven for getting the nVIDIA folks to provide some goodies for the LAN party. All we need to do now is add the nVIDIA banner images to the elonacm site.

Prizes

Oh, further to that previous post about the F3 event (Faculty Frag Fest) on Dec 2, THERE WILL BE PRIZES FOR THE TOP TEAM.

Right now I am looking at prizes of video games, but this could change. Civ4, Quake 4, WoW (comes with 1 free month + 10-day guest pass), Age of Empires 3, perhaps Battlefront 2. Who knows. They'll be new, and they'll be fun to play.

Faculty Frag Fest

So, to summarize the ongoing discussion of the Faculty Frag Fest (aka December LAN party)

0. The game is Unreal Tournament Demo. The date is December 2, 6pm. 3rd floor of Duke (Carpenter Lab)

1. We will have registration forms for teams of 4. Each team of 4 must pay $10 to enter. ACM members do not have to pay. Teams in which all 4 teammates are not ACM members will have to pay. (It costs $10 to join ACM, just do it! It's where all the cool kids are anyway!) There will be 1 faculty team. The faculty team will also pay their $10.

2. Registration forms will be available on our poster in Moseley, also electronically on this site, and on the door to Carpenter Lab. Matt Holt is in charge of the registration forms.

3. Advertisements will be done via Pendulum print, radio station (?), and via facebook gropus. Eric Hydrick is in charge of this Marketing Effort.

4. There will be pizza for all paid registrants and ACM members. Everyone else pays $3. Warren Myers is in charge of pizza, cups (!), drinks, and raiding the bathroom for paper towels.

5. Gameplay. As of this writing, there will be a bracket-style of play in which winning teams continue to advance to later rounds. (Quarter-finals, semi-finals, finals, etc) depending on how many teams register there may or may not be "bye" rounds, and the faculty may or may not play as a team in the brackets itself (we may play as a "qualification round" in which you must beat the faculty to make it into the upper-level rounds.) We are still working out some of these details.

6. ACM members (to be determined) will install Unreal Tournament Demo on the lab machines in advance of the event. All software will be open to inspection by the student and faculty players. Machines will be chosen randomly by flip of the coin, so there is no incentive to give the machine of a faculty member a "Special RAM Reduction" or "Video Card Tuneup".

7. NO NON-REGULATION SOFTWARE IS PERMITTED. No mods, no special weapons, etc. You CAN bring your special trackball or your 3-D glasses or your PowerGlove (ha ha) if you must.
