A Thought

A DW LAN party? It'd be easy to come up with a scenario that would last all night (statistically) and it might actually be quite realistic.

If you're thinking about cooperative multiplayer missions with 6-10 people, we had those matches months ago on cadc and it was a real blast.
After Furia, nobody else stood up to the challenge of developping cooperative multiplayer missions.

Cooperative or not isn't what's important to me. I was just thinking the game had good potential for chips-and-dip while geeking and was wondering if anyone had tried it?

I would LOVE to do somthing like that, although I would prefer several faster missions. Say, four two-hour missions rather than an eight-hour mission.

How come? The thing that I think would be cool would be the whole planning process. You get together with a bunch of friends and figure out what you're going to do, then do it. The nice thing about DW and LAN parties is that since the action typically unfolds slowly, you can be a little more social than something like say... Americas Army, where you've got to be COMPLETELY focused on the game at all times. DW... I go... get a soda... get some chips... chit chat a bit... probably nothing's going to happen.

Maybe put people in different vessels in different rooms?

Whats the problem with having players over the internet, maybe even doing multistation ?
If you only want to do a local lan party you'll loose a lot of potential players.
