Scumstorm 2011: Fabio's Revenge (August 25-29, 2011)

[Andrius]

I WANT TO COME!!
idk if I can though.

Zorblag and SpyreX and me should carpool.

edit: as for games, I own Bang! and War on Terror.

[Andrius]

@Andy:

It'll take a while to get from Thrillvile to Portland, seing as how Thrillville isn't on Earth MUAHAHAHAHAHA!

I live in WA, silly.

[Andrius]

Any wonderful ideas on how to break this to the parents?

"Hey guys. I want to go down to Portland to meet a bunch of people I don't know to play games and mafia." >_>

[Andrius]

QFT. Ahahaha.

At least my dad has met up with people from the internet before?

I mean, at least I'm a dude, so its not like I'm under 21, female, going to Portland alone to hand with a bunch of dudes. <_<

[Andrius]

It's not going to be just males, FWIW.

I know that; I was being sarcastic. >_>
I have... one month to think up a good excuse to go to Portland for a couple days... >_>

[Andrius]

Mental Vacation.

Parents won't buy that. :/

[Andrius]

You want to visit Portland area Fred Meyer stores, to research/investigate how their plastic bag elimination is working so far. (takes effect aug 1st.)

There are Fred Meyers where I live. (I think.)

[Andrius]

I'm feeling Ythill's suggestion over Fred Meyer.

OK SO I HAD A DREAM ABOUT THIS MEETUP LAST NIGHT. I THINK I WANT TO GO. lol

[Andrius]

I can't run away silly, I need them to pay for my college. >_>

[Andrius]

Explain to them exactly what's going on, politely tell them that you're going, and invite them to come along. Hell, they'll probably spring for a motel room if they say yes and Portland has plenty of stuff for them to do.

this. just be totally honest.

or conversely, just say:
"yo, i don' have ne friends IRL, so can I go hang out with my l33t interwebz buddy RC over t3h weekend, mom? like, ttly plzzzzz0r"

(works EVERY time)

Probably the former over the latter.

[Andrius]

@ Ythill: I'm 19.

[Andrius]

Pics or GTFO. Here. Now.

Verbal assault and battery! lol
Maybe I will post a pic of me.
I have my pic from prom a year ago...

[Andrius]

Man... I hope you're not some really fat Austro-asian kid with a ~112ppsi (pimples-per-sq-inch) ratio on your forehead and/or cheekbone area... that'd be kind of a downer.

Especially after imagining for so long that you were a handsome, dashing man with finely combed golden hair (except for the wisp), and a well-trimmed mustache and goatee.

Definitely not the first one. lol

I actually have dark brown hair, that looks black. >_> No mustache or goatee. I like it better clean-cut.

[Andrius]

Do tell what?

[Andrius]

@ Ythill: I'm 19.

Then just tell them you're leaving for the weekend.

HAHA.

oh yeah.

That'll go over well.
I leave for school the next weekend.
Ugh. I'll think about it...

[Andrius]

Mafia > school

Well yeah, but convince the parents of that, when they're paying for school.

[Andrius]

Your image failed.

And does SpyreX want to come?

[Andrius]

Yeah it did. I'll just follow the url link and see it from there tho.

[Andrius]

Well yeah, but convince the parents of that, when they're paying for school.

If it helps, I'm okay with them paying me for the meet.

lol I don't think they'll like that.

[Andrius]

somebody told me they were gonna invite the 'west coast scumbags' to scumstorm... i forget who exactly said it, but i looked on the wiki for west coast scumbags and it sounds like just a blanket term for anyone on the west coast.

i'll join if some of you guys do

I'll join. I'll go add myself now.

[Andrius]

I'm pretty sure kyle99 lives in Spokane...

[Andrius]

I'm not trolling. I just really really want to go to Scumstorm.

Ani is trolling though. lol

[Andrius]

Ok so I still want to go, and it turns out that Portland is only 3 hours away, not 6. lol
The biggest hurdle is probably going to be getting permission to disappear for a day or two.

But other than that I still want to attend. Maybe RC and me can lasso SpyreX into tagging along...

[Andrius]

Haven't decided whether I'm going to tell the parents straight up or just go "spend the night at a friend's". Friend is willing to cover for me, and is as excited as I am.

[Andrius]

If you are on the Maybe list:

1. Have you figured out whether or not you are attending?

No

2. If it's still up in the air, can you give me an idea of the liklihood and tell me when you will know for sure?

I'll know by the weekend. I have to wait for Dad to get back from a trip, then I'll ask the parents.

3. Is there anything I can do to make it more likley that you will attend?

Not really.

(If you are reasonably likley to attend, please answer the other questions too.)

If you are on the Attendee list:

What is the expected date and time of your arrival and departure. Approximations are fine.

I can arrive anytime on/after 2pm on Friday. I plan on leaving Saturday around 1pm, unless I can *miraculously* stay until Sunday.

Will you be bringing guests who are not on one of the lists? If yes, how many?

No guests.

Are you over 21? If so, do you drink? If you are over 21 but do not drink, would you be interested in going to a bar with those attendees who do?

Not over 21.

Will you be staying overnight or sleeping elsewhere?

Staying overnight please. I can crash on the floor or whatever. lol

What games will you be bringing?

I have Bang! (the card game) and War on Terror (the board game), which I can bring if desired.

Is there anything specific that you would like to do as a group? On your own?

Play mafia, have fun, etc. Meet people.

Do you have any food allergies or a special diet that needs to be considered when we shop?

No allergies or diets.

And I would need to know how parking will work. (Whether there are spots, where I would need to park, etc.)
Other than that I'm good. (I think...)

-Andy

[Andrius]

So some relatives/in-laws decided to stop by this weekend, pretty much unannounced. >_>

Sorry I can't make it, but count me /in for the next one.

Also, totally not looking forward to college ATM.

[Andrius]

Oh.
OH.
Well, erm...
I

do

keep my word...

"Arr, but ye' never said when or where we'd be letting Miss Swan free."
I will, probably not ATM though. I'll probably wait for the Haylen-wanting-to-devour-massive-amounts-of-international-cum to die down.

O_O Since when is RC Transgender? I just noticed.

[Andrius]

Nope. I didn't. I don't read the guys thread, or the FWAN much, so.

[Andrius]

Seattle meet would be nicer, BUT. Where would we stay in Seattle?

I know this nice cottage-type deal by Ocean Shores out on the coast; its not too far from Portland yet still in WA.

Ythill, you can let SpyreX help, because he never confirmed. RC on the other hand, confirmed but bailed.

[Andrius]

KittyMo and RC must go to the next one.
I will NOT let my Mormon relatives ruin my plans again. *nods*
Oregon is fine for me, as is Washington. Cali is a bit too far for this teen.

[Andrius]

Rather than send PMs or text messages, I'll just post here. How does this Sunday evening sound for a round of gaming at our new crib? There's ample parking.

This invitation is specifically for the three who expressed interest in such things (Sudo, SP, Brandi) but other Scumstormtroopers are welcome too.

I'd love to attend, but I'm at school now, and am no longer 3 hours away from Portland.
I am still going to hold War on Terror over Socio's head though, so.
Maybe closer to a holiday?

[Andrius]

I voted.

[Andrius]

w0000000t. <3 Oso/Xine

I'm totally going this year. And my best friend volunteered to drive with me, so.

SOCIO THERE WILL BE A WAR ON TERROR.
AND RC AND I WILL DEVELOP AWESOME GAMES

WHICH IS ALREADY BEING DONE

.
Though I kinda' want to take the train; more exciting IMO.

[Andrius]

NEW DEVELOPMENT:

I might be on the west coast next summer.

holy hell is life crazy or what... stay tuned

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
THAT WAS MY CREEPY MICHAEL JACKSON PIC. TT_TT

But very excited to possibly see Fate.

[Andrius]

It came up elsewhere, but I should mention it here as well. I plan on attending this coming summer. You Have Been Warned.

[Andrius]

RC should fly to SeaTac, then drive to Portland with my and SpyreX.

[Andrius]

Seattle sucks with snow.
I finally got home though, so.
Sorta' regret coming here though. lol

[Andrius]

if somebody is passing through the Sac area to go to this, I'd be down to throw all $200 of my EBT food card for dining. Probably won't happen since nobody ever trusts (or wants to see) the new guy, but I just thought I'd throw it out there since the pics from the last one (?) looked so entertaining.

Sorry, I'm coming from the other side of OR. But watch this page and you might find someone closer to the deadline.
I don't know CA well enough, but I know that people like RC and NS are going to drive up, so.

[Andrius]

I hope to attend, unless I'm in Europe at the time.

[Andrius]

So who is coming/wants to come? Can we start a list in the OP?

Me

[Andrius]

/pre-in
85% chance likely to attend.

Late June-Early July I'll be out of the country, so that ov. won't work.
But any weekend I could try and do; barring work and stuff.

[Andrius]

I thought you lived in Europe, mothrax. :S

[Andrius]

Sure am. ReaperCharlie informed me of this, and I'm down. Sounds like a hoot.

I work in a rather popular restaurant and the sooner I can plan for perhaps requesting a day off or getting out early the better. I work brunches on the weekends, so I'm usually out by 4 or so anyways. But, you know.

I'm just sad I can't make it myself.

what is this madness

[Andrius]

Last weekend in August, so something like Aug 25th - Aug 29ish?
Woohoo! /in

Yeah if its the last weekend in August it might not work for me; I go back to school that weekend IIRC.

[Andrius]

We missed you troll!

Andrius looked under one bridge in Seattle and he couldn't find you!

FTFY

Glad to see you're back, Troll.
On a related note, Ill be called back to school the last week of August, so if that's when this is then...
SOCIOPATH WE WILL PLAY WAR ON TERROR EVENTUALLY.
