LAN Partys / Gaming Events
Posted: Mon Dec 16, 2013 4:47 pm
What about creating a event package that can be easily implemented on yearly Gaming LAN Partys? When I was younger I used to attend to programming contests [demoparty] (Assembly in Finland, The Party in Denmark, Remedy in Sweden) which are nowdays more or less pure Gaming-only parties (e.g. Dreamhack in Sweden). Anyway, events such as these often gather more than thousands of youths - that bring their own computers that are often built for high-performance gaming (NVIDIA rigs). This is an amazing oppertunity to introduce event participants to Folding@Home, especially if you make it into a contest. My suggestion:
- Create a event webpage with incentive, graphics and instructions on how a party organizer can participate. For instance, party/fah competition participants must join the partys team while on place - top participant are rewarded a diploma + gift certificate (or something), other participants all get diplomas.
The page may also contain some sort of login for party organizers to check contenders, IP-numbers, to manage toplists.
