Hey everyone,

A rare and exciting opportunity has presented itself and I’m creating this thread to try and gauge the interest of people who would consider getting involved. This is still in the early stages of planning and nothing is final. I hope to receive more feedback and interest to see if it’s worth further pursuing this idea.

At the start of the year my family moved out and put our very large home in Chelmer Brisbane, onto the market. With the majority of my family reaching the age where we are moving out, my parents decided they no longer wanted to live in such a big house. However the house market, as many of you would know, is not in the greatest spot and our house has been unable to sell and my parents are worried that they will have to move back in. So we did some brainstorming and the idea came up that we might be able to start a gamers’ house.

Pictures of the house (not all the rooms are shown) can be found here: http://www.eplace.com.au/property.cf...ertyID=1957994

Basically the rooms for rent will be:
The master bedroom (2 people)
5 single bedrooms (5 people)
1 large single bedroom (1 person)
1 long double room with 2 doors, one on either end, where a cupboard or something will be used to split this into 2 rooms (2 people)

Out of the 5 levels of the house, 4 of them have a bathroom, so each bathroom will be shared between 2 or 3 people, but no more then that.

There are 2 kitchens, a couple of lounge rooms and dining rooms. And lastly an extremely large room where we will be able to set up enough tables that people can bring their own computers and set up a gaming room.

So basically there is space for about 10 people. I’m still in the process of finding out what the city council regulations are for how many people you can have living in a house, but the more we can have, the better. By having a large number of people living/renting here, it means the cost shouldn’t grow too high once split by so many people. At the moment (and I re-emphasise this is all in the early planning stages so nothing concrete), we are looking at paying a base rent of about 110-130 dollars a week for the single rooms, the double room downstairs will be a bit cheaper and the master bedroom upstairs will be costing a bit more (but can be split between 2 people).

If these plans do go underway we will be upgrading our Internet, most likely to the fastest possible, to accommodate so many people using it at once.

Lastly we are literally across the road from the train station, a 1-minute walk. And 15 -20 minute ride to Central Station as well as walking distance to Indooroopilly Shopping centre.

I am fully aware that this is a far-fetched idea at this point in Australia E-Sports, but as I mentioned earlier, I consider this to be a really rare opportunity to explore this possibility. So if any of you would be interested, either living in Brisbane or not, leave a comment so I can see if this is an idea worth developing further.

Any other questions ask away

Only problem is sticking with Sc2 in Australia there wouldn't be many "big" Teams with alot of Sc2 players in them that could support the costs, Maybe iM off the top of my head.

Well thats why it doesnt have to just be Teams, looking for individual players, if a team does come then awesome if its a couple people from a spread of teams, awesome as well.

[AuXCoolpuff]

how would it be payed for than?

[Shinkz]

Hah I live just around the corner from you, see this house on my way to the train station! BoL!

[fray`Alpha]

yummy yummy :D

just make sure you get 3 internet conenctions preferably two is the absolute minimum needed, but preferably 3
you need 1 connection with no download limit but the download speed isn't important it is only usef for when you download games / movies this can be adsl or adsl 2 this helps to not slow the other connections
then you need 2 cable connections so that people can all be gaming at the same time

Hope it all goes well
