Call-out to the first Hive-get-together!

[Celaquil]

(-and possibly last)

_________________________________________________________________

So yeah, me fladdermasken and shiiK have already signed on to this train,
we want to issue a hive get-together for Scandinavian members, and
possibly more, if they want to spend the money to get to the place.

It's all going to happen on a Weekend, naturally,
and hopefully some time before summer next year.
Both time and place
is flexible and discussable, though it appears that for us already signed
"attendees" Oslo would be the ideal choice.

This is a discussion thread about that subject in general, who wants to
come, when it's going to happen and where.

Lets discuss!


Additional information:

It's mostly (entirely) for drinking and socialising purposes, so naturally
you'd have to be at least 18 years or older to attend, in addition to attend
you've got to post a picture of yourself, somewhat of a safety measure.

I approve of this call-out, and here's the picture everyone has already seen of me:

Too lazy to take another, fancier (does it get fancier than early morning after nach anyway?) photo. I'm not really that fancy of a person, anyway.

 

[fladdermasken]

- This is me attending.

 

[Edhel-dur]

I smell this is a plan to bolster your economy by having us pay for everything there is to pay there in Oslo.

Jokes aside, is this really the FIRST in about 10 years of THW existance?

 

[fladdermasken]

First actual multi get-together? Yes, at least to my knowledge.

It should also be mentioned that not attending if you're nearby will be looked upon as mutiny.
Unless a great excuse is given; no false pretense.

 

[Deleted member 157129]

Our research points towards yes. Unless you count two Hivers meeting up as a get-together, or real life friends also being Hivers.

 

[Orcnet]

oh man that drinking part is soo good, but damit I am stuck in this little island of mine

This does not appear to be a cognitive response.

 

[Tyranid]

I like you guys more on the internet.

 

[Deleted member 157129]

HOW DO YOU EVEN KNOW?
You haven't met us.

 

[Fussiler1]

This is me at a Korean War veteran conference.

Can I coem?

 

[Sky Green]

You made me sad that I'm not Scandinavian or 18

 

[Magtheridon96]

Can't come:
- I'm 15
- Oslo is ~5000Km away
- I don't drink

 

[PROXY]

Would love to come, but I got the same problems as Magtheridon

 

[Magtheridon96]

If you wanted a picture of me, you could've asked ;D

Reality is a bitch, but as stated if you have the means of getting to where we are going, by all means jump on.

Also, honestly, to put this a delicate as possible: We're not really that interested in knowing who "can't" come.
And for those who want to have some kind of get-together but find drinking, Scandinavia a problem, by all means
arrange something of your own with users closer to where you live.

 

[fladdermasken]

What, do we have to lean on the horn to get your attention? Don't be so self-depreciative, we'll be too damn out of it to loathe anything either way.
Just strap on a decent enough hat, book either a flight, train, gondola, or bloody war chariot, and engage a hotel room for one night.

I thought this place was infested with scandinavians anyways. However;

Also, honestly, to put this a delicate as possible: We're not really that interested in knowing who "can't" come.

This disclaimer still applies.

 

[Deleted member 157129]

I guess there is some trace of truth in foreign claims that Scandinavians are cold and unwelcoming after all. For all you who fear the cold, though, .. I was going to say it's not cold, or that we could find a time when it's not cold, but then I realized it's much easier to just ask everyone to dress for the occasion. Nothing like a cold, winter's night, anyway.

 

[Joe-black-5]

So I heard that shiik is paying for my ticket

 

[Miss_Foxy]

Uhh...

If I wasn't having my important exams, I would've been delighted to join you guys.
Just think of all the people we would meet. :s

 

[The Reborn Devil]

Well, physically I'm 17, but in reality I'm 5 years older than shiiK, and Oslo is like only 2 hours away, AND I've lived there for 4 years.

I might come. I will try to find a picture when I get home (currently having german class ._.)

Edit: Btw, if it's next year then I'll be physically 18, but in reality I'll be 28 (shiiK is 23, and I'm 5 years older).

Edit: This is me quite possibly attending:

 

[Ironside]

I would want to meet with you guys but I'm not 18 and it's too far away.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Everyone come to Finland, let's have a Warcraft III lan party.

 

[Gilles]

Shame this would never work in Canada. Have fun guys!

 

[M0rbid]

In case the university allows, I'll be there.


And here is me ,for you infidels

With me the movie "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" will have to be either renamed or refilmed afterwards. Or at least with fladdermasken, Keiji, shiiK and me. Also TRD could be a factor.

 

[fladdermasken]

Good lad.

Bring Frank.

 

[Wazzz]

may be attending, depending on circumstance and availability and time zones...

this WILL be a picture of me maybe attending. for now, enjoy a horsie

 

[Celaquil]

Great! I guess we're enough to start discussing times then, everyone planing on attending should say roghly when they would want it to be, I guess.

 

[Wazzz]

well i assume when you reference summer you mean my winter

i am considering visiting england after december, so if that occurs i will also arrange a short trip to where ever the hell it is we're having this thing, stick around a few days and then f*ck off back to England, i don't really know...

but yes, after december would probably work best for me, just not too late on account of uni and shit

 

[The Reborn Devil]

Kinda depends on what kind of places you'll be going.

If you're going to places that demand that I'm 18 or older then any time later than 22nd of May works for me. If you go to bars/clubs/whatever that allow younger people then any date works (assuming it's not in the middle of exams).

shiiK says not all bars demand I'm 18 or older (and I'm not going to drink either way), and it's totally possible to get beer at a restaurant for that matter.

 

[fladdermasken]

Don't think such a thing exists officially.

If security is lax, sure.

 

[Magtheridon96]

Let's have a get together in Lebanon.
Me, Joe-Black-5, ashbringer753, Deuterium, LichPrince, and Rmx.
We can meet at 'Mezere3 Shib3a'
If you act like Americanfags, Israel won't bomb you, so.. yeah

 

[Maker]

Distance 660 km
Flight time 1 h 10 min
Price approx. 250 €

If I could find a bit cheaper flight then why not.

 

[Geazergimli2]

What are u trying to say? I take serious offense from this statement

 

[Dr Super Good]

Are any of the Hive admins actually supporting this? If not, then any incidences that occur on this are not the responsibility of the Hive Workshop. It should also be marked as unoffical if that is the case.

Check if there are any train services. You might be able to pickup a good rate for long distance train journies. Yes they might take 10-12 hours instead of just 1 but you might be able to get a ticket much more reasonably. Also you need to factor in about 2-4 hours of terminal transit times and waiting for the flight which would make a 12 hour odd train journy seem a lot more reasonable. Train journies might also not hammer you with hidden fees that cheap flight services do.

 

[Deleted member 157129]

660km, that's not far at all. I doubt it'd take more than 6-7 hours by train. Unless you have to wait for a long time for switching trains.

 

[Ironside]

My air distance is about 1500km, that would cost much.

 

[Maker]

I'm not going to take a train

Map

It already takes 4 h to the "F" in Finland by train.

The airport here is only 10 minutes away.

 

[Dr Super Good]

4 hours is not bad. The average flight has waiting times of 2-4 hours. If it can save you money you should consider it. Obviously it might not be worth it if it is like 0.99 currency but still, you can look into it.

Ahah, I see why now. I was thinking 660km by road. Taking a train from there to Oslo would take nearly a full day. Still, 250€ is stiff.

Make your own thread!

There might just be a reason as to why it is in the off-topic section in the first place. Also, of course it is "un-official" in any official way. Though, seems M0rbid, TRD and shiiK is attending, and they're moderators. Still, I dont see in any way how this could blacken the hive, it's not like we're going to make large banners and walk around town dressed as clowns. Its merely a get-together to have a good time and some drinks.

Would be lovely if you could make it

 

[The Reborn Devil]

And shiiK and I aren't? I find your insolence distastful.

 

[Dr Super Good]

and some drinks.

Strangers and drinks often do not mix very well. Parties like this have been known to spiral out of control. Additionally, any release of addresses for such a party to the public on the internet might result in "gate crashers" who are well known to exploit such situations and end up ruining them.

Though, seems M0rbid is attending, and he's a moderator.

He is only a moderator though. I do not see a moderator having enough authority to authorise such an event to be offically supported by the site (without being given special permission to). Yes we help run the site but you must remember that the site is controled by the administration staff (Ralle and all his trusties) who ultimatly decide on what the site does.

 

[Deleted member 157129]

DSG, this is not some official event, we never claimed it to be such. It's a fun get-together. We do not need anyone's approval to invite people to join us. All attendees are 18 or older, which makes them responsible for their own actions.

Moreover, we're not releasing any addresses publicly, this is no house party. We'll meet up wherever we decide to (as already stated, Oslo would seem ideal as it is quite central in Scandinavia), and improvise. I don't know where you're from, but these rumours you're putting out are not familiar to me. Strangers and drinks mix very well as far as I'm concerned, and I am beginning to grow quite experienced with it. If you don't party with strangers, who do you party with? Also, we're talking about Norway here, not America.

 

[Jaret]

I might come. Look out for these faces:

I can't quite put my finger on it, but something is definitely wrong here!
