1st Offline meeting

[Cisz]

Most of you allready have heard of this, so here is the deal: Karawasa is coming to germany in march 2009. I happen to live there, so that's a nice, um, coincidence? Timeslot is from around roughly 14th to 30th of march 2009.

We would be happy to meet more of you guys, so who can manage to get to berlin in those days is more than welcome.

We will rent a small flat (pension) for those days, so we need to know who wants to come in advance ofc.

Interested? Post your thoughts, food wishes, etas.

[holepercent]

probably you'll heard of it on irc.. good chance i'll be making the trip from singapore to europe.. exact dates to be confirmed but probably not the full period..

[Cisz]

As it turns out my resident lan will be held again, and ofc at 27th-29th march..

So we could join them in Hannover..

I'm slightly opposed as of now, but I'm willing to hear you out ofc. (~50 People, some adults too, some handicapped kids, http://www.awo-lan.de)

Edit - holepercent - could you elaborate a bit more, what kind of other dates do you have to plan around? just curious. Oh, and when do you know more? I gotta rent a flat someday, you know.

[Karawasa]

About time I posted in this thread. Yes, this is happening. Regarding the lan, I am also opposed to it. We should have enough to do already.

@jolin012: Any update regarding a weekend in Germany?

@holepercent: Any updates regarding your schedule?

[jolin012]

it appeared that they didn't even know that I was making a game with youy guys , but I'm 90% sure it'll be working, so don't plan all the goodies on other days that a weekend

will be updating you guys.

[Cisz]

As it seems, kara and jolin wont bring a comp, so the lan is out.

Edit - For about 250 euro per person, 4 could rent this thing here for about 16 days:

Has a kitchen, washer, dsl, 3 rooms, TV. More or less central, about the cheapest I could find yet. Opinions?

Edit - And here are some transport costs, we will probably buy some sort of week-ticket:

Update: I have checked some more flats with Kara, and we have a list of 4 now:

The number of beds is still confusing, as sometimes "2 single beds" turn out to be "one sleeping couch for two", so I'll need to ask them all.

[pre:2z6do1g5]Overview Total for

Double Single Maximum Cost per pers 2 Weeks

I'll be bringing my computer along, it's a Shuttle barebone.

Since Jolin will probably jump in for a night or two, I'll also bring a decent camping bed.

[Guest 1mpulse]

i would donate my left arm and leg to go and hop around germany

but university beckons

[jolin012]

I could bring some swedish foods.

[jolin012]

allright, time to get flight tickets, which weekend do you suggest?

[Cisz]

Good question. That depends highly on karas precise scedule. Which one would you prefer?

[jolin012]

i would guess 13th-15th or 20th-22nd

the later if you othersarrive 14th or later.

but 27-29 would work too i guess.

I don't mind that much, anytime weekend should work.

[Cisz]

Damn it, 3 of the 4 flats are gone!

Kara, post definite dates NOW.

Edit - And I totally miscalculated the price for the 1880 flat. Hmm.

[Karawasa]

March 17th - March 29th

[jolin012]

leaving 17th night? or arriving 17th morning?

[Karawasa]

That can be worked out later, I will have the entire day open.

[jolin012]

[hidden:1lzdytvu]Arriving early that Saturday would make it worth for me to join that weekend i mean. but if it's Saturday night it's not worth it.[/hidden:1lzdytvu]

Edit: oops, 17th is a saturday now, but not in mars. with that in mindthis post is just pointless

[Cisz]

I assume that you arrive sometime on the 17th, so you sleep in germany that evening, and that you depart on the 29th, so you don't spend that night here anymore, right? That's 12 nights total, correct?

[Karawasa]

Correct.

[Cisz]

Holepercent - do I get this right, you can't say if you are coming until the 1st of february? So I don't know how many people we will be till then?

Man, this is tricky.

Can't you blackmail somebody? Or bribe?

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Edit: OK, got a new list here. All have some sort of internet. All have at least 3 seperate beds (plus my camp bed means we can sleep in seperate beds as long as jolins not there). All have 3 rooms or more, we could get a lower price if we include 2 room flats.

If we take a 3 room flat we have no problem including % last minute, because they don't really get cheaper for 3 persons. The price I listed is an estimate for 4 persons and 12 days, assuming I understood the prices. (5.- for w-lan. Per day? Per person?)

My favourite one is 426. It's the cheapest one, can hold 5 persons easily, has dsl, and a good location too imo.

How should I get to stockholm I live in skövde (between vänern and vättern)

I don't know maybe it is just me but I don't feel "old" enough or atleast not enough "grownup"

[Kaini]

I don't know maybe it is just me but I don't feel "old" enough or atleast not enough "grownup"

Same with me. I don't want to come because I would be the youngest
