RindPhi-LAN

Hey guys, I’ve been wanting to announce this ever since I was elected to the Student Council, and now it’s finally time: We’re going to have the first RindPhi-LAN since 2016!!!  The LAN Party will take place next week on Saturday (23rd November) from 10am to 10pm in the Computer Science & Math Library. We will be providing the necessary networking hardware, so all you need is a working ethernet port (or an ethernet to USB-C adapter for the laptop enthusiasts). In addition, you will need to bring your own stuff, which means either a laptop or a desktop PC; in both cases remember to bring your peripherals (mouse, keyboard, headset, mouse pad (this is the one people tend to forget)) and for the desktop user also a monitor (please keep it limited to one since we are short on space).Besides the PC slots we also have some console slots, you will need to bring your consoles but we will provide monitors. The games that will be played are the following: FPS Moba RTS SUS TBS Maybe Unfortunately, we cannot provide internet over LAN (only via WLAN/eduroam). PLEASE DOWNLOAD THE GAMES IN ADVANCE OR RIP EDUROAM. To participate you need to buy a ticket, they are priced at 5 Euros mainly to ensure that people actually attend and not just reserve a ticket. Your place is only valid after you have paid for it and please pay on the same or next day, either by bank transfer or by coming to the CS Student Council in person to pay in cash. Our capacities are as follows: We will be selling some drinks and ordering food during the event, so it is recommended that you bring some cash with you. As this is our first LAN in ages there will be…

Video & Board Game Night

It’s that time again, this Friday, 7 June we are organising another Video & Board Game Night and this time back at MMCI E1.7. You can expect several game consoles in the Foyer, on which you can play Mario Kart, Just Dance, Smash or whatever you feel like playing. We will also continue to use the seminar rooms for board games so that you can let off steam undisturbed. Furthermore, a big round of Werewolf is planned at 9pm, which is a perfect chance to get to know some new faces in a larger group. You are all welcome to bring your own games to give us a little more choice. As always, we’ll be ordering pizza at 8pm, so remember to bring cash if you want to join us and we’ll also be selling drinks on site for a small and fair price (but don’t worry it’s not compulsory to buy drinks from us – you’re welcome to bring your own). We look forward to welcoming you this Friday, see you there, your Student Council.

Gamesnight: Smash Tournament and Board Games

We are happy to announce that we are finally bringing back our past gamenights. That is, next Friday May 27th, at MMCI building (E1.7), we will host our long awaited gamenight starting at 6pm. We have rented the entire ground floor as our event venue. We listened to your feedback, so the rooms for Smash and board games are acoustically separated. We have 2 rooms for Super Smash Ultimate, including a tournament, and 4 rooms for board games, including 2 small ones for Werewolf and such. Board games will be available, but you are of course welcome to bring your own games. There will be snacks and drinks, plus pizza will be ordered during the evening. If you want to participate in the tournament, click the button at the end of the post to register. The tournament will be limited to 32 students so we can manage to fit it all on the same night. There will also be an entry fee of 5€ for the smash tournament, which will be used to fund the prizes for the top 3 players. The exact format (whether bo3 or bo1) will be presented in the evening depending on the number of participants. If you want to play with a Gamecube controller, you are welcome to bring your own; a docking station is available. See you next Friday 🙂
