What is the PLAN?
Grab your computer and get ready for some gaming! The 'PLAN' (aka The Parkview LAN Party) is a LAN party hosted three times a year by the Computer Club of Western Michigan University. Our numbering scheme may look a little weird, but that's because we're weird. We don't always have LAN parties during the summer, so we decided to use letters instead of numbers to differentiate between them. And now we may start using the NATO phonetic alphabet or maybe we'll just add some random word that starts with the corresponding letter. The games we play are mostly first person shooters like TF2, Left 4 Dead, Counter-Strike:Source, etc. But there is also plenty of others like old-timey favorite Warcraft 2, and the plethora of other popular computer and console games out there these days. Our Events page has info on past and future events. Also make sure to check out the Pictures section. If you have any questions, stop by the FAQ page. If you can't find an answer to your question anywhere, don't hesitate to email us: plan@yakko.cs.wmich.edu.

Prizes and Sponsors
[ 11/11/09 ]
For those who haven't heard, we are for sure going to have awesome PLAN 12 t-shirts at this LAN party! We'll be giving some away as prizes and raffles, and the rest will be on sale for about $10
Crucial have also been generous enough to sponsor us. So expect some memory to be given away to a tournament winner :). The winning team of the HoN tournament will be getting $150, as well as 3 free copies of the game! Yes, FREE! On top of that Bawls will be sponsoring us, so we'll definitely be giving away some BAWLS.
S2 Games! ThermalTake!
[ 10/29/09 ]
It just keeps getting better and better! S2 Arena LLC (the developers of Savage and Heroes of Newerth) Have just agreed to sponsor us! Only good can come of this. For the Heroes of Newerth tournament, everyone will be getting a key to the Heroes of Newerth beta. There will also be some prizes, and some t-shirts... more details to come on that...
Also, have to give a shout out to ThermalTake for sponsoring us! They sponsored our last bi-annual LAN, and they let us give out some pretty awesome prizes. We still have the ThermalTake banner hanging in our office :)
PLAN XII (Nov. 14th) + website update
[ 9/29/09 ]
We've decided to shove all the old news into it's own page and begin fresh. Hopefully those OCD gamers out there will feel less compelled to read our entire backlog... but if you still feel the need, we've got a link right up there *points next to the News header*.
PLAN XII is coming (that's 12 for those that can't speak latin) and we hope to see you there! Potential tournaments will be TF2, L4D, Heroes of Newerth, Quake Live, and perhaps something a bit more old school? If you have a request, shoot us an e-mail. More details on tourneys and prizes to come. Stay tuned! And don't forget to register!
