Title: DPCon 2005
Post by: jitspoe on December 29, 2004, 03:36:53 PM
For those of you who don't know what DPCon is, you can read about DPCon 2.0 (http://www.planetquake.com/digitalpaint/events/dpcon2.html) on the events (http://www.planetquake.com/digitalpaint/events.html) page.  Of course it was a blast, so we'll be holding a third Digital Paint Conferenece.

This time we're going to plan ahead a bit more so that more people will be able to attend.  Having it at Atlantis Gaming Center (http://www.atlantisgamingcenter.com/) worked very well last time, so I'd like to try that again.  Unfortunately they have had to relocate.  I'm not sure what the facilities will be like next time.

Edit: Where and when updated:
Where: Indian Trail (near Charlotte), NC
When: July 23rd-24th

i wish i could go but NC is so far away. would be better in like texas cause its right in the middle. or even better down here in sunny San diego
Title: Re: DPCon 2005
Post by: jitspoe on December 30, 2004, 01:12:06 AM
Problem with some place in the middle is that makes it far away from practically EVERYBODY. :)

Maybe we can have an east coast/weast coast dpcon simultaneously.

Sharon , Picasso , And Myself are planing on making the pilgrimage together. Also beside your computer , monitor, kb and mouse is there anything you need people to bring. How long is it  2 days? hopefully its friday night and saturday morning so peolple can leave saturady night or sunday morning in order to return Monday morning work (sorry for the 4 lettter cuss word)
Any who give more details   Tanks

I'll try to work out some potential dates here shortly and put up a poll about it... but probably in July, yes.

It will most likely be saturday and sunday.  I don't see how people could make it on friday night unless they took the day off...

We could potentially add another day or two, if people are able to stick around.

Snipen: Well, people would have to take Friday off in order to come up Friday moring.  Here's what we can do, though:

Friday afternoon/evening: "unofficial" LAN party/gaming night.
Saturday: "official" DCPon, with prizes and tournaments.
Sunday: Real-life paintball
Monday: (if anybody's still around) more LAN gaming?

Post by: Nutiket on January 26, 2005, 08:46:33 PM
I think anywhere Jitspoe wants to host it is great. If he runs DP, and he is running DPCON, then it makes perfect sense to have it in the town he knows, with the location he knows, dealing with the people he knows. He is giving us 6 months notice, and power to select the date. If you want to come then great come. If its too far away, sorry, maybe we will see you next year. The location should not be up for debate, only the date.

Jit, I will actually be on my honeymoon for almost the entire month of July. I will be in Orlando, Charlston and then Myrtle Beach close to when it looks like DPCON will be scheduled for. Depending on the logistics, I will see if I can stop by.

Title: Re: DPCon 2005
Post by: jitspoe on February 14, 2005, 04:24:44 PM
There have only been 2 DPCon's so far.  This will likely be in Charlotte again, but I need to make sure I can find a good location.  Unfortunately the location we had it at last time, which worked out great, isn't there anymore.  Atlantis Gamers lost the lease there.  The new place... well, it's kind of a temporary thing -- they merged with a skate park, but it just wouldn't work out.  I don't know if they'll have a new location by July or not, so I need to scope out some other possibilities.

Jitspoe:
NC is just fine with me. If you are going to move it anywhere just go down the road to Atlanta. Atlanta is a major hub for the east coast. There are plenty of rentable gaming spots in Atlanta. But, NC, GA, FL don't matter to me. I'll be there.

THAT'S RIGHT...I AM the ONLY person, beside Jitspoe of course, that has made it to BOTH DPCONs. I do accept Pay-Pal donations, btw!

Lemme know if you are considering Atlanta. I may be able to help out logictically. I do live in the ATL, afterall.
Title: Re: DPCon 2005
Post by: jitspoe on March 04, 2005, 08:37:01 PM
I think there are more people closer to Charlotte, but Atlanta might work...  I need to check out Netplay and see if it will be a good place for DPCon.  If not, we may go the Atlanta route.

If you want to research some gaming centers and paintball fields in the meantime, let me know if you find anything interesting.
Title: Re: DPCon 2005
Post by: S8NSSON on March 07, 2005, 09:17:06 AM
Remember, if any of them Texas folk are coming Atlanta would be the distand between Atlanta And Charlotte closer. People from up north and midwest would fair better to Charlotte (pronounced "Char Latte").


Here's a huge list of LAN places throughout the country. Some dead links.

My latest post got lost when the forum went down, but it was basically this:

I got back in touch with David, the guy who runs Atlantis Gaming Center.  They've relocated again, but the new location should be better the corner of a skate park it was shoved into last time.  They have 7 computers, which should be plenty to cover the people who can't bring their own.  The plan is still the weekend of July 23rd in Charlotte.

I'm going to check out the new place this weekend if I can.
Title: Re: DPCon 2005
Post by: jitspoe on April 28, 2005, 12:08:17 AM
Only 3 more months!

Oh, and I checked out the new place.  Plenty of room there.  Much better than the skate park.  If you haven't seen it already, I have the events page set up for dpcon2005: http://www.planetquake.com/digitalpaint/events/dpcon2005.html

Open to suggestions for activities and tournaments!

Post by: jitspoe on June 27, 2005, 07:14:23 PM
Interesting turn of events: the next Atlantis all-nighter is going to be on the same day as DPCon.  This can be good.  It means we'll probably be able to get a whole bunch of people playing that night.  20-30 people playing pball on a LAN would be great. ;D  I'll have to talk to Dave about it, but it could also mean we could run DPCon all night.  Perhaps people would be more interested in doing that than going out and playing real paintball?  I dunno, just a thought.  Real paintball is fun, though, so maybe it wouldn't be a good idea to pass that up.  Hah, we're going to be so tired after this.

What time is the DP Con going to start? I'd like to participate, but I won't get there until 10 or 10:30 that night.
It's going to start in the afternoon, like 2-3:00ish.  Of course you're welcome to join at any time.  It will probably run late into the night.

btw, if you're going and you need me to pick you up from the airport, you need to let me know when your flight gets in and all that -- it'll need to be like 1:00 or some time well before dpcon starts (planning to start ~ 3:00).

It's more of a commercial area than a neighborhood, really... there's just stores and restaurants around it.

It's over, but no, it wasn't available.

Good times -- a shame more people couldn't come, but hey -- their loss.

/me awaits s8n's detailed review because he's too tired to write one.

Oh, and congrats to dapainta for taking  home like half the prizes, even after having to reboot his computer several times mid-tournament.

Jitspoe,

The only thing stopping me was the time of year. I know with school being out its a good Idea but, most players that can (money) and willing are older than that. I regret first missing a chance to meet ya and shake your hand and thank you for this game. Second pics? game results?

Ok Ok Ok...Post DPCON2005 Review...

First of all I ended up being insanely busy the entire time leading up to DPCON. This was evident by the fact that I actually almost went to DPCON a week early. If it weren't for the fact that, after I called DaPainta to tell him to be ready in the morning, he called me back informing me I was a week early, I would have been at DPCON a week early.
On top of that, I never bothered to check the starting time for DPCON. So I pick DaPainta up at 7:30am and drive the four hours from Atlanta to Charlotte. This put me at the venue at 11:30am. Well DPCON didn't even start till 3pm. So we went to the hotel and caught a nap! Good thing too, or I would have been able to make it till 4am, when we finally quit.

All in all, for me, it was the funnest of the three DPCONs I have attended. It was pretty cool hanging out with Jitspoe and Calrathan, although Cal should have brought his XBox360.

The venue was the worst of the three DPCONS, but ended up serving it's purpose well. If there would have been a large community turnout we would have been in trouble as space looked to be quite an issue.

MAGIC|YU-GI-OH(sp)|POKE-MON...These people were crazy with thier card games. DPCON was held the same night as an ALL NIGHTER card game-a-thon. So the freaky card gamers were there in force. Some of them joined in on the DP fun, which made for us having a good number of people playing. I'll have to say, these first-time DPers at the last two DPCONs have picked the game up really fast. And they seemed to really enjoy it.

The tournaments:
Well I can only say that DaPainta apeared to win it all. I think he DIDN'T win one or two events. The 2vs2 was the greatest fun for me. Me and my partner went to the losers bracket first match by DaPainta. We won three straight after that only to be dropped by Jitspoe in a battle for the losers bracket. In that match me and my partner jumpes up to an early commanding lead, only to have Jitspoe and his partner smack us down with a series of flag grabs. DaPainta and his partner defeated Jitspoe and his partner in an overtime battle, if i remember correctly. My favorite match was between Me and my partner and Calrathan and his. It was to see who matched Jitspoe and his partner for the losers bracket. That match was very very close.

So guy brought his kid up there for the card games. His car sat out front all night, and was a joy to look at every time I went outside. It was a 90K Acura NSX with over 150K worth of modifications. I've only ever seen one of those in GTA:SA, so it was nice finally seeing one in R/L.

If we take the last two DPCONs as a measure, the BAGS-IN-A-BAG competition will feature a bag full of bags the size of a small car next year!

Calrathan and I poked at Jitspoe a number of times on doing away with backwards compatability. And we also has some discussions about the community and why more of you fools don't come to this event. I mean, come on, some of you live closer that I do. A plane ticket is not THAT expensive. You don't really even need your own PC.

I am hoping that, as we amp this game up to be more in line with today's quality of games, that we will start bringing in a new base of players. And maybe bring back some old players.

DPCON2006(if it will be)...MAKE YOUR PLANS NOW.

We don't care if you're FAT. We don't care if you're UGLY. We don't care if you pretend to be slim and handsome, but are really fat and ugly. We don't care if you have no arms and legs and play DP with a custom mouth operated controller. Come to DPCON and meet the people you play with. I don't fathom how you people can't want to do that. If you are just scared cause you've been a jerk in the DP community and fear retrobution in person, well then yeah, you better not come...hehe! j/k

Ok...i've rambled on enough for now...not checking for typos as usual...

adios!

I look forward to being inducted in to true manhood by S8N.
eww wtf

S8n fathom this, those that did go hardly play anymore and that is what is sad.

 Lets make a deal (Cal you smellbot, I saw you join the server and just leave with out saying a thing or tryign to play, the map was castle1 so you had no excuse) those that attended DPCON try playing at least 3 nights a week for 3 hours and mabey those of us who can afford the trip but just really was not intrested in playing with people I hardly every play with?

*edit more to my point you and Cal really should not poke fun of a game you were never any good at!!!! :)

There is so much wrong with that statement, lolita.

1) Cal made the darn game. I do think he can say whatever he wants with ever right in the world.

2) I've played this mod since WAY WAY back. Maybe not quite QW, but pretty soon after thereabouts. So i'll say what I wish.

3) I don't claim to be good. I don't care to be "good". I just wish to have fun when I play. The right to opinion is not based on skill, that's for sure.

4) I'll say what ever the phuque i want so shut up boy.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

It's simple really.
1) Some of you are just too young to make a DPCON. That's understandable.
2) Some of you just have no interest in meeting the people you play. This I can't understand. I'm a social person. I love meeting people. But, again, understandable
3) And some of you are just scared. Some of you are that portion of internet waste. Ya know, that low self esteem, picked on in school, has no friends, of slighly above average intelligence type of kid that has discovered they can hide behind thier keyboard and monitor and pretend to be a big man, or some kind of programming hacker wiz kid. You'll never attend a DPCON lest the truth be known. Scare little weasles.

Saying that you have no interest in playing the people that are going makes no sense either. Talk to the people you would like to see at DPCON and get them to go.

There's two reasons I attend LANs. For the chance to play against people with no lag, and to meet and talk to the people on the other side of the screen. I've been going to LAN fests for around 10 years. I traveled all over the country, and have met people from all over the world. It's great. It gives me a better perspective on who some of you really are. And this weighs heavily on my attitude towards a person. I'm sure some of you think i'm a complete ass. But i'm really not, as anyone that has met me can tell you.

It may be a while, but when all the planned visual upgrades to this game are complete I would love to see backwards compatability eliminated. This , hopefully, would have a flushing effect on the community. At that point I see no reason why DP wouldn't attract a new player base with some good publicity of the game and its new stuff. Everyone stuck to the old stuff can just create a new community soley based off the old DP.

Wow I typed so much and look away so much I just lost my whole focus...eh whateve...

OH WAIT...
Yeah the four people that went to DPCON hardly play anymore, you are right. But I believe I can speak for all four of us in saying we have all put an extremely large number of hours into playing this game we love. But some of us have daily responsibilities that don't permit us to veg in front of the computer playing DP anymore. Every now and then I get the opportunity to play for a few minutes.

Being an avid DP/QI paintball player for god knows how long (thanks QCA for giving the paintball beta a 10), I would love to attend a DPCon. The thing that's stopped me is the long travel distance by car (which I no longer have access to), or the expense of a flying and then not being able to have my own computer. Hopefully you guys will keep holding a DPCon and one time I could eventually make it. Who knows maybe my brother (Byle/FleshP the "cheater") would be free too and we could make a trip down to meet/own some of you fools.

Are you reffering to a JOB? After 40 hours work week I still find time to play wither I do good or bad thus my k/d ratio. Bah my point is OLDER PLAYERs not in reagrd to age like you but the ones we used to play on full servers with.

Cal cleary I was joking, but not about playing public more than once a year :) last time I saw at the first pickup before that mabey on e33rt.

Why I do feel this was targetted right at me! If I come down, you'll surely steal my hard drive and extract all my hax, then crush me with your large man-arms Sad

Now I have no idea what other people are doing now-a-days, but my daily routine seldom holds time for games...except GTA|SA where I get to smake people with dild....well you know.

I wake up, kiss my wife & daughter goodbye, work for eight to ten hour (or at least i'm at work), get home in time for my wife to leave to work, then my attention goes to my daughter till she goes to bed around 9pm (or so, depending on how much she manipulates me), then I have some things to do around the house (cleaning, bills, fixing crap, THEN I have free time till my wife gets home around 11pm. That doesn't leave a whole lot of time.

Oh wait...about GT not attending...you have a valid point...I asked them to go, but some of them are too young, too far, or too poor to go. The ones that live less than 5 hours away have no excuse, and I don't see why they didn't go.

I do imagine some of the older times players could be wrapped up in college about now, in which case it could be difficult to find the time (although Cal did make it). Maybe there is no community love, but only love for the game. Whatever.

OH the Children and the Wife, your a good man "Satan" (LOL) I understand now.

Jitspoe time to start dpcon 2006, in doing so I can shore up a couple of days off. We by senioirty when it comes to vacation the early we do this the better and that way I can get more time to  explain (think of excuses) to my Wife about how much fun she will have watching us play for 14 hours.
