Ok screw it, I messed up with the time I would leave and arrive at RAGE.
Last time we made it by 11 which is probably why the queue went faster. This time:
Friday 4:00am : Wake up.
Friday 5:00am: Depart for RAGE.
Friday 6:00am: Arrive at RAGE.
That should put us right in front ;)

You'll miss quite a few hours of RAGE on Friday. Say you arrive in Joburg at 11am. It'll take you 2 hours to get to the dome. Not a train-wreck, but every hour is gold :)

Not always.
HOWEVER if you get there at about 12, will you still have to wait?Last year I rocked up at around 12pm and the queue was minimal, there were only a handful of guys in the line to test 'em PC's. 8) Soon after, met up with the teamie who saved us seats and the rest as they say... is history. :P
This year, I'm planning to be there early, since I wanna take the day off from work, but nothing's confirmed yet.

GTFO the RAGE threads. Useless scalper. Even if you aren't, you're scum. "offers", "bids"..... you're already getting double for the ticket and you want more. Please, please, please don't offer this guy a cent more than R500. You'll be supporting that which we all hate.
Also, this is the third or fourth thread he's spammed. Deserving of a ban methinks.

My plan. Not nailed shut totally but something like this.
Thurs 02 Oct: Arrive at East London Airport jump on a plane Fly to jhb. Meet up with a clan mate at JHB airport and drive to another clan mates house to meet up with the rest of my clan. Unpack PC build it back up from flight and check updates Anti Virus etc. Have a few drinks go sleep.
Fri 03 Oct: Arrive at Rage Early. Get inside setup and meet some other clans and players. Continue to play and drink Play ;) and the days begin to melt together into one awesome off the hook experience.
Sun 05 Oct: Pack up and go home.
Mon 06 Oct: Recover from the weekend and that night go out on the **** with clan mates and other clans staying longer
Tues 07 Oct: Wonder why we drank so much while mixing a "reg maaker" And packing up PC again for the trip home. Get to the airport say good bye to clan mates and get on plane. Pass out and get woken by a hot stewardess on arrival back home. lol
Thats the rough idea!

Since it being varsity, and considering your 18 or older then, they can't legally keep you there me thinks. Otherwise chloroform the bastard :D

Sigh... will only be arriving at 11:30 - 12pm on Friday morning since my bro doesn't wanna "take in the atmosphere" of waiting in line for hours at an end. :/ What's the diff of waiting at home all excited to leave for rAge, or waiting in line with the rest of the lads/las', you know. >.<

First off, I need to pick up my PC at the shop where it's getting upgraded (at about 8:45AM). On the way to the Dome, at about 9:00AM, I'll pick up those red kettle cables (speaking of which, does anybody know the best place to buy them from?). From there, I'll meet up with some mates outside the Dome at about 9:30AM, and then the best 3 days of my life begin!

I know, but I have to compete on the Friday, if I was at the higher levels I wouldn't come then for the LAN, but because I'm only competing on the Friday at 14h00, it will be fine

Went to rAge today.
Best R40 I've ever spent. Played some Guitar Hero drums, had my photo taken at the Stuff mag stall (lol. That's my highlight XD), messed with some TFU, and lamented once again that it wasn't coming out on PC, and generally ran around trying to pick up free stuff.
My only disappointment was that I wanted to buy an October NAG issue, but it wasn't at the NAG stall (though the old issues were available for free, and there was someone very pretty (wo)manning the stall...) Were they sold out, or were they just not available?
