Hello,
I'm member of a local LUG in Annecy France

We plan to organize local animation of STK LAN games and tournament.
On the normal kart courses mode. I didn't play yet with real players. I did setup a kit with 8 laptop and fixed LAN IPs and a wired switch.
It's raw snap installed STK on Xubuntu. I'm in contact with some local social center to play some event with the public.
Basically what I did, was just to collect some used laptop from local enterprise who agreed to gave us some used material.
On STK side, I'm still discovering the game, seems really fun. I start a local game server on one of the 8 PC and other are joining.
Players will be encouraged to change his/her name at the game start. I found that I've to add a new player with a new name in some menu then start playing with the new player. It seems player's mascot associated with the name are random at this point.
I also sized one of the laptop's display to be linked to a video projector so setting one seat as a watcher to expose the game to watching public on public event or for waiting players.
I would be happy to share experience and feed back I collected by organizing such event and describe a setup kit if you want to reproduce.
The idea of such event is to play short game (4min) and have multiple seat for player in LAN, probably young players. Then speak about free-software and related mission we could have to promote free-software.
If you are interested to contribute, or have already done such event, or would like to suggest anything, or have more question, please contact me. I would be happy to share with you.
Regards,
Sylvain
