Disclaimer: I am not BigRed and have no bearing on real policy.
In the first case, I believe it's a matter of reasonability. I have fit two monitors and a NAS in my space in the past and nobody blinked, so I don't think a tablet would cross any lines.
In the second, I believe policy is that each person can have one guest so long as they stay together, but for enforcers they might bend that and let them hang out there without you. I don't know.

I'm pretty sure BigRed has said pretty vehemently in the past, "No guests in BYOC."
Now I don't know how that would bear on an Enforcer, but I know that BYOC has a no guests policy. I also know there is an equipment limit, and a space limit. BigRed would know the specifics of such.
In the case of laptops/tablets we have been very Lax in that regard. A lot of people bring both and charge one at their seat when they go to a pannel or somesuch.
With the case of a laptop/tablet as long as it stays within your space its fine. But the cavet is you only get 1 network port per seat, and we dont know if the PAX wireless will reach the BYOC room.
As far as the other thing ill answer that in PM. But yeah the policy of no guests in BYOC stands.
So we have a group of 4 and while we will get a pod of 4 together, having pre arranged seating would be better. so if anybody would like to join our group of 4 to make at least 6, let me know. We tend to play trackmania nations, golf questionmark, flatout 2, deathball (first person sports mod for ut2k4), most byoc tourney games, and a lot of other random stuff (nhl 94 emulated anybody). Send me a PM or I check this thread pretty regularly.
Offer for BYOC ticket: 40 dollars cash, full guild wars account w/ all expansion, lvl 20 ele w/ 6 sets of 15k armor, max weps on heros, upgraded armors, etc. And my soul. send me a tell!

<@heels> oh god, what am i doing
Definitely remember your cables! I forgot last year and, while I was just on my crappy laptop then, the PAX wifi has.... extreme difficulty in the BYOC room.
Well I shall go purchase of a 50ft from somewhere nearby. Or see how much monoprice charges to ship one up here.
EDIT: Should I just get CAT6?
You won't need 50', and to be honest it probably won't matter what kind of cable you have at patch lengths. If you get a long ass cable though, it's always best to get higher quality. CAT6a is the current best.
So I haven't received my BYOC stub thing in the mail yet, I will be asking BPT what is going on soon. My question is, if it doesn't arrive, what treasures should I bestow upon BigRed so as to not incur full hatred when my info has to be pulled up manually?
-Cupcakes
-Cookies
-Pie
-Candy
-Spices
-Myrrh
-Baby Seal Meat

Add some caffeine pills and a hard drive or two and I think you'll survive the encounter.
PM me your RL name/addy/phone # (the stuff you used to register for your byoc ticket). Ill get you your ticket number which you can give to me when you get your badge. Will make things easier than manually looking up your info day of.
make another contest, specifically tailored towards my needs, so that i may get myself into byoc. ^-^
Trackmania last year was one of my favorites and now with the new Trackmania Nations Forever I think it deserves to make a repeat appearance.
HOLY $H17 SOMEONE ELSE FROM VICTORIA
There is 3 of us going together (although admittedly I'm only travelling back this year, flying from hawaii for pax) from victoria. We also met somebody (SMES) on the Anacortes ferry (the best way to drive over IMO) from vic (well Mill Bay) last year.
I know some others are going, but liekly not in BYOC.

Cool. I am going to double check my house when I get home. If I don't find anything, I'll send you a PM. Thanks!

You need a network cable to hook up to the switch at your table.
id say 20-25ft minimum, otherwise it will limit where you can sit.
Thats standard for any Lan party really
Real men make their own.

Real men use Cat5 for things other the LANs.
or make cat5 out of other twisted pair wiring.
and no, I've tried neither.
Pfft, real men load everything in RAM anyway.
Real men install their OS to a RAM disk.
<+Ravenger> you are talking to me
<@heels> oh god, what am i doing
Well, OS *is* a subset of everything. :P
It's always about the weakest link...
Gah... now I feel like I'm turning into my dad.
"What is a man? A miserable little pile of secrets"
What was this thread about again? I forgot.
This thread is about finding me a BYOC pass!!!! :x
Not really. Thread title=BYOC SOLD OUT
<+Ravenger> you are talking to me
<@heels> oh god, what am i doing
Wireless LAN? wtf?
You realize how slow it would be to transfer files over that :P
<+Ravenger> you are talking to me
<@heels> oh god, what am i doing
Wireless vs. wired. And that's just routing, not the max speed between two ports on the same switch.
Nobody intelligent uses wireless for anything heavy or important. It's too slow and flaky. I works for basic internet, but not much else (yet).
Really. Remember cables. It will help.
CoH 2v2 tourney!!!
