PAX Prime 2010 BYOC Info/FAQ - REG CLOSED

That's not math.
I never finish anyth
You're not math.
I want to get them pre-installed
just what i could think of off the top of my head
I'm actually thinking it's going to be TF2. Starcraft is Starcraft, but it's still an old school RTS. Those are just not as popular as an FPS. And with two titans from each category I think we'll see a lot more TF2.
Not that it matters, since fun will be had either way.

I've also got a handful of copies of Daikatana. You know you want to LAN that. :winky:
Its mostly newer games that are played. Im sure you can probably get some quake 3 arena going though...
Q: Basically I'm not allowed to be in the queue room? How's that supposed to work? What if I bring my computer later like around noon?

Would it be possible to leave the BOYC area and head back to the lines if I wanted?
Yes there are, but you need a three day pass to PAX as well and those sold out a long time ago.
Thank you

As my understanding is that the concerts come with byoc automatically.

Normally this is true however it has been stated that they dont know if they are going to have bracelets for BYOC this year.
(I saw the above list, but wondered if there was anything else, or anything I should 'train' in

As far as the BYOC only things, There will be an email that goes out to everyone signed up for BYOC with a summary of some of the things we are doing. Can also post it in this thread.
I told my Boss that the Friday of PAX is a religious holiday.
This is also awfully important to the hubbsters and I, as it will significantly change our plans if they are not to be provided to BYOC peeps. Hope to hear soonly! =)
Oh, thought of a question: It was sort of accepted by BigRed by ignoring it earlier in this thread, but I'd like an explicit answer to this:
The security of personal belongings aside, will coolers be allowed to slouch around in your BYOC space indefinitely? Like, that guy was sayin' that he's temped to stock up on supermarket food and have a cooler - Will there be any foreseeable issues with that practice, aside from people possibly filching your cheddar and Tab? Like, I'll be allowed in with my [Icebox of Bottomless Provision], yes?
Well I can announce there will be *SOME* wristbands, but if there will be enough for every person in BYOC... we dont know yet.
As far as a cooler... I will inquire with a couple people.
So I got word, like as soon as I made my last post, lols.
I will start with the bad news:
I will only have 100 wristbands for BYOC.
So... The first 100 people who ask for a wristband during check-in on Friday morning will get one.
I am going to be harsh here, but if you forget to ask for one during your check-in at the BYOC Desk then you missed your boat. Have to do this due to the low supply.
So you have to ask for one during checkin when we put your barcode on your badge, not before or after
one wristband per BYOC attendee who does the above
WHILE SUPPLIES LAST!
BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE!!!
GET YOUR BYOC SEAT BEFORE THE CLOSE OF BYOC REGISTRATION AND YOU WILL RECEIVE AT NO EXTRA CHARGE...
In BYOC this year, we will have a video/audio stream from the main theater at Benaroya.
There will be a couple projectors throwing up Concert main theater content and audio will be over ventrilo.
So unless you really want to see stuff in person, you could just hang out in BYOC to view the concerts.
Edit:
It looks like it will just be concert stream. The other main theater stuff is 50-50 right now. So it might be there or it might not, no promises.
COOLERS:
Rules on coolers:
We will go with no
Although I highly suggest you PM/IM me to ask

Darn, that option does look appealing, but I HAVE to get to the JoCo concert... speaking of which, how will distribution go for Saturday? First 100 to ask when you walk in, in the morning wins?
note:
for Saturday you guys dont line up on the 6th floor. you can just hang out anywhere and head straight up when PAX opens.
I approve!
Just wondering, but if I'm really keen to get one of those Saturday wristbands I could wait out side the entrance to the BYOC are right?
No you cant. You guys wont be allowed to get up to the 6th floor until PAX opens on saturday. So you either have to wait in the queue room or mill around in the public areas (by the tullys/subway) until opening.
All right. I will probably just go line up in the big line on Saturday morning and maybe duck out once I get my wristband.
Also I just wanted to say thanks for all the answers in this thread! It's really helpful for a first timer.
Although I ask if you are a BYOC attendee and you manage to get a wristband in line to not try and get a 2nd from me, they are in highly limited supply and would prefer them to go to as many BYOC people as possible.
