No please.
Don't waste your money on something unimportant like me.
Also, I told you I got important things to do here...

'Guess Gothenburg is like within ~5 hours on a train from Oslo. Probably around $20-30 if you book in advance and, you know, you could probably close that gap by paying half of what you would pay in Oslo for a beer. To our danish peeps and peepettes it's probably a cheaper and shorter flight than to Oslo.
(or at the very least a trade-off)

So I propose Gothenburg.

I'm free pretty much throughout July and August.

 

[Celaquil]

You bloodsucking maggot.

To my experience (even though I've only been "out" in Gothenburg once) Oslo is a more preferred place in terms of good bars and nice places, but sure, yeah, it's cheaper.

Though it doesn't take as much as five hours, we used just below three, and we were in a car >.>
- This claim is based on Swedish trains being as good or better than Norwegian ones.

 

[enjoy]

To get to Oslo, I would take the train to the Øresund bridge, and then take the train from there to malmö, and then take the train from malmö to oslo. I have no idea what Gothenburg is, nor where it is located.

You're looking at pretty much the same range of beers, poured from pretty much the same taps from pretty much the same bartenders. For pretty much half the price.

It is a big city after all. Albeit not bigger than Oslo, but big enough to pretty much cover everything you would expect a major city to cover.

(Did I mention that it's pretty much half the price?)

Rail service is a hit and miss: SJ is a deathtrap.

If you manage to get yourself a decent train ride I would suppose 3-4 hours would be reasonable. I just gave myself some room to wiggle. But I guess you can carpool, save up on the gas money.

More or less en route to Oslo from Malmö. About half the distance _{[citation needed]}

 

[Celaquil]

If we wanted it cheap, we'd go to Denmark, and get real it's not "pretty much half the price."
- Beer is even cheaper in Oslo than in Stavanger

Another thing is, I'm out if it comes to Gothenburg, I can't afford two plain rides to the place in under a month and train would take me too long for such a "short" trip.
- Why fuck with an idea that's been around this thread from the very beginning?!

I was also not talking about car-pooling, but apparently you misinterpered my meaning, normally in Norway what takes [x] amount of time to drive, it takes less with the train.

 

[enjoy]

It like Oslo better. <: I am sure there is lots of awesome bars in Oslo. I am mostly for shady little pubs! <:

 

[fladdermasken]

I don't know, beer from tap runs from around 30 SEK in Gothenburg if you're not going dandy fancy. In Oslo it's around 50 NOK, give or take, isn't it?

- Why fuck with an idea that's been around this thread from the very beginning?!

we'll have to, as TRD suggests, find a date and a place.

Might stem from this little underlined part here. And that you explicitly told me to propose the Gothenburg idea when I blurted it out in the chat.

I know Oslo has been suggested, but hey, I thought you wanted a second opinion.

I don't mind going to Oslo.

I think I did respond to that. The rail service is a bit of a hit and miss in Sweden (SJ even had campaigns where they apologized for all the late-runnings), so if you carpooled you would probably save cash and time.

 

[trolman]

What the... Beer?Serisoly guys?Thats what underage kids drink to think they're mature, real men drink heavier stuff!

With your behaviour, you never get invited into such things, kid.
Now please get the to your 'real men'.

 

[trolman]

1/10 Dont try it again.

But no im serios beer inflates your stomach and gives you a beer belly, atleast with the hard stuff they cant see your liver.

 

[fladdermasken]

HahahHAhhahAHhahhaHAhhahhHAhHAHhahahHAhHHAhah~~~

GTFO trolman. Let go. I think everyone is fed up toying with your scrawny bitch tantrums and stupid uneducated opinions.

 

[enjoy]

Trolman, I don't think anyone here cares about having a beer belly!

 

[MGCǂSpectre]

@Keiji, hey you were/are CloudWolf right? I've seen your picture before, so I remember. Cool hair.

 

[Latecat]

May consider joining - if it is around next year (or later).

Though it wouldn't matter either way, because I dont drink (a finn that doesn't drink alcohol, go sue me)

 

[Celaquil]

@Keiji, hey you were/are CloudWolf right? I've seen your picture before, so I remember. Cool hair.

We may look similar, but no, I am not him.

Update: There will be a tinychat meeting on friday at 20:00 my time, go figure what that means to you.
- It'd be great if as many as can would meet up

We'll discuss things like when it's going to happen, a possible agenda, probably mostly just what bars to go to... Ahh, ehm..
Yeah, hotels should be discussed. Probably other things too, be sure to mention whatever I did miss then.
- And not here.

 

[The Reborn Devil]

Just so you know, neither shiiK nor myself can attend the tinychat meeting, but I'd prefer Oslo and I think shiiK's opinion is similar.

 

[Celaquil]

Well, at the very least do inform us in what period of time it would best serve you to host it, so that we can keep that in mind when discussing.
- This also applies for anyone else that can't make it to the meeting and haven't already stated when it's best for them.

I could also be flexible with times on Friday, if anyone wants to attend and have plans later in the evening, it could be pressed to earliest 17:00

Also, for anyone that noticed, yes I got the time wrong, I did mean "20:00" and not "08:00."

 

[Latecat]

That would be around 21:00-22:00 (forgot which GMT you live in and too lazy to check) my time. Will probably pop in, even if I may or may not participate (if I do, I guess I'll be the sober one)

 

[Rui]

~Thread cleaned

Just out of curiosity, why don't you use the Hive's chat for that end?

 

[Celaquil]

Video chatting is more preferable, that and there are less bullshit and restrictions.
- On second thought, probably more bullshit.

 

[enjoy]

Rui, all are not on hivechat. This is more sufficient, cause you can write when you want, and people don't have to be here to be able to read it later. They can just subscribe.

 

[Celaquil]

Alright, fuck things.

Since I am right now infuriated that not a single soul could make it to the "plan meeting" and considering no person, lest the ones that said that it suits them whenever, actually specified when it suits them best to have the get-together I am now going to state a date and it's going to be final as long as more than two people can make it.

14.07.12 (day.month.year)

Now, that's going to be the date for now, and unless anyone of you replies that it doesn't suit you then and that some other date may be better, it'll be final.

This is going to happen, and I want it to happen shortly.

 

[enjoy]

A day sooner would be preferable. <:

 

[Celaquil]

Well, yes both and... >.>

The initial plan was for the "get-together eve" to be on a saturday, but then I am and I guess fladde is too going to make it a weekend trip, so we'll be there the day before, and if it's more preferable to host it the friday, then sure.

 

[Direfury]

What, this is an actual thing now?

 

[Latecat]

I was in the initial meeting, the only person besides Keiji and Mr. Goblin.

Tells a little about how much people are willing to get this done.
(also, I am OK with the day as long as it is either friday or saturday, past 4pm GMT+2 on friday)

 

[Direfury]

Hey, if it was enough fun, I'd probably join in on it.

Problem is, I know how some people are, and there are a few choice characters that would be better off not coming.

 

[Rui]

If this does happen, don't forget to save videos and pictures.

 

[Celaquil]

I would say there'd be a difference how people are outside the forums and inside, but then it's all up to you.

Also, sure we'll take pictures, and probably do some filming.

 

[The Reborn Devil]

shiiK and I will most likely be busy. Afaik we'll be in Kongsberg from 6th of July to some unspecified date in August or something.

However, there isn't anything stopping us from driving in to Oslo and be there for the get-together. At least nothing I can think of. I'll have to talk to shiiK and dad about it though.

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

A meetup? Nice. Not that I'll be attending - but it's a fun idea. Looking forward to hearing about it, hopefully it'll be a big success

 

[fladdermasken]

Could we push it a week or something? Say, July 21.

 

[Celaquil]

Says the one that initially pronounced "Whenever's fine with me." >.>

Well, sure we can, but I don't want to spend too much time discussing the date, considering we have to order plane-hijacks/train-hikes and ice-pick crawlings.
- Not to forget hotel booking.

See, this is in the middle of the high-summer in Norway, and the period of time when "most people have vacations," so we'd better order our shit soon, lest we can't get a plane, train or hotel.

 

[Rui]

Alternatively, instead of doing large meetings, do small ones with lesser people. I suppose the problem's going to be the money?

 

[Latecat]

When it comes to money, I don't have too much problems. Don't know about others.
also, I won't be attending if it is this year for 2 reasons: I can't drink and I am too busy/exhausted after my work ends.

If it is next summer, possible.

 

[Celaquil]

Depends on the hit of this one:

- Turnes out great: Repeated commencing summer.
- Doesn't turn out: Re-try commencing summer.
- Turns out crap: Re-consider who to invite next summer.
- Turns out downright boring: No next summer.

That's at least the way I see things.

 

[fladdermasken]

As it stands, I'm probably not going to make it to July 14. Weekend after would suit me better.

 

[Celaquil]

Right, works for me.

I'll just state that considering the fact that only a few have been bothered to give a fuck when I tried pulling this burning ship to port, I'm fed up with being hellishly bent on organizing this entire ordeal.

Anyways, we should decide soon, so we can start planing things.

 

[Sorceress]

I might join if thats okay?

 

[Statharas]

I might join this, all the way from Greece :v
Gotta check several stuff, and that actually depends if i manage to get in a Uni or not :V


Wait. Summer.
Why don't you guys come here instead of a scandinavian country o.0?


Also,

Me with my sister if you're wondering.

 

[Ash]

Won't be able to go abroad, but if anyone wants to host anything similar/change the venue to England, my place is available.

 

[Celaquil]

The breath of this idea was taken right out of my chest, cliche as it sounds: Due to recent events.
Someone else might want to pick it up and host it proper, if so, I might consider joining anyways,
my suspicions that it will never be as great as originally intended, sadly.
