A particularly-wild form of LAN party which is held by disgruntled tenants attempting to induce their upstream provider to terminate a fixed-term DHCP lease before its expiry date. The usual targets are unscrupulous phone and cable operators who lock victims into one-sided multi-year contracts and refuse to let them leave, even as they unilaterally and repeatedly raise prices for inferior service. It's like the cockroach motel, where they check in but they don't check out. The idea is to annoy providers just enough that they suddenly beg the tenant to leave or even seek to evict instead of holding them hostage to a fixed-term which is no longer useful to a client who needs to be able to leave without penalty after having taken a lucrative job in another city.
