News :: epic.THREE
Time to announce the rounds that will be taking place in the epic.THREE pub quiz!
Our pub quiz takes place on the Saturday at around 8pm in the bar area of our new venue, Uttoxeter Racecourse.
It's £1 per person to enter, and all entry fees are distributed to the winning teams as 75% - 1st Place, 25% - 2nd Place.
So the rounds for the quiz this event:
Still some spaces left for epic.THREE so head over to our booking page now to grab yourself a place.
An opportunity has arisen for a member of the community to join the epic.LAN team in time for our next event, epic.THREE at the end of the month.
We're looking for a keen member of the epic.LAN community (you must have attended our events previously) to join in helping out both at our events and with our online activities.
The work is all voluntary, but there are plenty of other benefits, including being a part of a great team and a fast-growing exciting community, not to mention the benefits for your CV for both the voluntary and technical aspects of taking part in the events.
So we're looking for applications from people with suitable skills to be a part of that team. A good gaming knowledge and a basic technical knowledge for diagnosis of simple networking problems is required and of course you need to be able to work as part of a team. Creative skills inolving sound/video/photography or graphic design are always beneficial to the team, but not essential.
To apply, send an email to winbar@epiclan.co.uk detailing why you think you would be suitable for the role. Your email can be text based, or you could show off your skills in some other way such as an image or short video clip if you want to be a bit more creative. As the next is event is closing in quickly, the deadline for applications is 12noon, Saturday 13th February, with shortlisting and online interviews taking place Sunday 14th & Monday 15th in the evening. Obviously you will need to be available for epic.THREE to apply.
Good luck!
Now it's your chance to have a try at spinning the decks with our DJ Hero Fun Tournament at epic.THREE in February.
For some late night random fun, we're going to be hosting a DJ Hero competition at the event so you too can learn how to be a top DJ...well, almost!
And don't forget as part of the event entertainment we have a number of live sets from our very own DJs Haden & Superchief and a bit of random musical Armagetron fun from Graeme (Kustom).
The exact competition format is yet to be determined, but it's likely to be the highest average score over a number of sets.
But again, to take part you need to be there!
Find out more about epic.THREE and book your place now!
The first draft of our epic.THREE timetable has been released giving you an idea of some of the organised activities we'll be running over the weekend.
You'll also see on there our three fun-tournaments which we can now confirm will be:
The timetable just shows our big games and mini tournaments (hence mainly showing FPS games), but of course you're free to play whatever you want whenever you want throughout the weekend. Just shout up if you want a game of anything, and people will join in! We'll be randomly putting on some mini-games for other genres too.
So start having a think about your teams ready for the TF2! Both the CSS and Trackmania will just be individual fun events.
As you can see, there's loads going on at epic.THREE, book now if you don't want to miss out on the fun!
Neptune's Pride is a browser based strategy game played in real time against multiple opponents and epic.THREE participants will have a unique opportunity to try out the beta in a special speed version.
The aim is to capture enough planets to have ultimate control using a mixture of diplomacy and acts of aggression. While the interface and controls are simple, with only 4 research strands of Weapons, Range, Speed and Scanning, the game focuses attention on strategy. You can upgrade your fleet's range to beyond your scanning distance so you never know what you might find on the other side.
Unlike the internet version, we will have access to a special speed version so instead of days to complete actions it will be hours instead!
Because we're nice and helpful, here is our list of games that will be appearing in our Big Game Timetable during epic.THREE to give you plenty of time to get them installed before the event, rather than installing and patching when they're announced on the PA system and only joining the server just as people are finishing!
Now don't forget, the list isn't exhaustive, so just because a game doesn't appear in the list, doesn't mean it wont be played at all and the list only covers what we class as Big Games where we aim to fill a server with as many people as possible, so things like RTS style don't appear here, but they'll still get played!
Full timetable for the event is coming soon, watch this space!
In addition to our "Decorate Your Desk" mini competition, we're pleased to announce the return of "Capture the LAN" and this one is for all of the budding photographers out there!
This one is quite simple, all you have to do is take a photograph and submit it to a folder on the FTP at the LAN. The photograph has to be something that captures the atmosphere of an epic.LAN and sums it up in one single image. Each entrant will be allowed to submit up to 5 images.
So this one wont be judged on who has the biggest camera lens, but more about who snaps the moment that just captures what epic.LAN is all about! Once again, we'll find a prize for the winner and show off some of the best entries in our gallery. Closing will be 12noon on the Sunday of epic.THREE.
Yes, you heard correctly!
We've been able to lay our hands on a very limited stock of Jolt for epic.THREE which will probably and sadly be the last time we're able to get hold of any reasonable quantities for the events after the announcement of the manufacturer's filing for Chapter 11.
We'll have some cans available for sale at the staff area, but we'd like to give you the opportunity to secure an entire crate of caffeine to be on your desk ready for when you arrive!
In addition, if you pre-order before the event, you will get 12 cans for the price of 11!
To secure your pre-order go to your epic.THREE Event Booking select Services and add the required flavour. Note that your order will need to be paid for in advance and this offer does not apply at the event.
It's clearly time to announce some of the more important details about epic.THREE (25th-28th February), the bar times & prices and breakfast times!
For epic.THREE we will be using a large bar in the main hall with a huge space set aside for socialising, drinking, eating, playing card/board games and consoles. The bar will be open at the following times:
In addition, we'll also have breakfast being served every morning from 9am - 11am in the main hall, so you can get your morning nom without even having to leave the venue!
After DJ Superchief's live set at epic.TWO in July, we've decided to line up not one, but two live sets to take place at epic.THREE in February.
One of the things we aim to create at our events, is a great atmosphere. Through lighting and background music, we give you a LAN like no other in the UK!
So at 11pm for one hour on both Thursday and Friday nights, you'll get to hear a set from our very own DJs Superchief and Haden!
Yet another great reason to come to epic.THREE on 25th-28th February at Uttoxeter Racecourse, Staffordshire.
With 47 people currently booked, it's looking to be yet another fantastic event!
See you there!
