The NetGames Society is a community of gamers, both PC and console, that aims to connect gamers across the University through competitions, such as ladders and tournaments in a range of games, and social events both on and off campus. We may also enter teams into external and inter-university competitions.

The society currently provides these services to members:

  • Free use of our (almost) unlimited TeamSpeak and Ventrilo servers
  • A point of contact to other gamers at the university
  • Counter-Strike: Source and 1.6 servers on the SBS (Thanks to Exopaladin)
  • Off-Campus Left 4 Dead, Half-Life 2: Deathmatch and Counter-Strike: Source Dedicated (Vanilla and Gun Game) Servers (Provided by Twigathy, Set up by Andee) at home.twigathy.com

You can join the society though OnCampus, at http://beta.oncampus.net/ or at the Mandella building reception, and the cost of membership is £3.

The best place to contact us is via the University IRC network. Point your IRC clients to irc.cs.kent.ac.uk#netgames. For more information about using IRC, see http://www.compsoc.co.uk/KentIRC.

 There is also a group on the newsgroups that I have decided to commandeer, seeing as it happens to be empty.  Point your browsers to https://forum.cs.kent.ac.uk/

We also have a facebook group: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=31612544645

Please be aware that we are still in the process of perfecting some of these services, so there may be some slow outages.
