[plug] quakefest

[Mark Nold]

I'd be interested playing/helping organise, whatever... probably like to 
include "UT Infiltration" if anyone else is game.

No idea about Quake but i used to run a UT server for home lanfests off my 
Laptop (400Mhz with 128mb Ram) that played well with 4 players and 12 or so 
bots. (never had more players to test further though)


Another idea is to maybe put some teams (say 4 players each) together that 
could gather at one location with some broadband access and play the other 
teams. This way we dont need a big venue and everyone supplies their own 
equipment at their own site. Also tactically your squad of 4 could easily fit 
in a room and talk, plan and act as one.

Probably need to agree on an IRC room to meet and setup all games but could 
be fun.

But since i havent got anything better than a 56k modem im not sure what the 
bandwidth requirements would be (probably as much as possible) but all this 
will change this week :)
