Uh, guess I'm a very unlikely maybe for this. I'll be flying transatlantic for the summer at *some stage*, just not sure if the timing will be right for this.

Faraday · Post Post #462 (isolation #2) » Fri Feb 08, 2013 5:11 pm

I'll known in about 8-10 weeks whether I can go, I guess.

Faraday · Post Post #518 (isolation #3) » Sat Feb 16, 2013 5:21 am

I'm totally showing up if I can, limits be damned.

Faraday · Post Post #542 (isolation #4) » Sun Feb 17, 2013 2:16 am

I'm a maybe, but I'll know my March 20th anyway, so.

If I'm going I'll be there all the time, but I'd feel bad if I signed up for "space" all the time? Just because I happened to be online. Maybe I'll just leave 2 days off and if there happens to be too many people I'll take a hotel/motel for those 2 nights, or something.

Faraday · Post Post #557 (isolation #5) » Thu Feb 28, 2013 3:15 am

Should be able to make this now, officially /in I guess.

You clearly don't have any joofriends.

One or two, but: location: Ireland - means they're not exactly common. (It still looks awful, but I'm pretty hesitant about trying new foods in general)

I remember the time she faked a post restriction in face 2 face where she couldn't speak but had to mime. Her flavour justification being "cakes can't talk", or something.

Faraday · Post Post #692 (isolation #14) » Sat Mar 16, 2013 1:06 pm

D.C. trip sounds cool if it's feasible/there's enough interest. No idea how far away it is, seems like a full day type of thing? But if enough others find it potentially interesting I'd be up for going.

The other stuff on the list e.g. drinking are also fine activities.

smithsonian seems like it'd be cool/interesting to visit.

Faraday · Post Post #705 (isolation #17) » Sat Mar 16, 2013 4:21 pm

Picnic! Or something. But yeah, it'd still be cool to see some of the smithsonian. Well I'd definitely be interesting in heading to D.C. for a sort of day trip, anyway. Might be the only chance I get to visit it.

As a former employee and someone who knows people that still work for Marriott (it's legal, Faraday), I can check on getting a 'family and friends' discount, but I'm pretty sure we can't just walk in the night of - it has to be reserved. Additionally, anyone who doesn't make it just has to cancel before your expected check-in time in order to avoid being charged.

Or, let's say the Marriott is too far from a bar you hang out at one night. Splitting a room for the night at another/closer hotel is an option as well. Just be sure to get a room with the pull-out sofa.

hostel for a night would be cheap tho we might get murdered. but yeah guess it depends on price + if people are willing. up for a slumber party in dc tho'

Mina could get something like... uhhhhhhhh. damn

i don't get the EPM thing unless he was always town? but I thought he was scum one game + mina's literally an innocent child. i was moreso basing it on the way people behave in f2f than forum personalities (in general). epm might work tho :p but won't be at this meet?

as for godmother/father someone harder to read than dgb would work better maybe. but this is like just a bit of fun so w/e

I read the rule thing just now online. It doesn't seem too bad - in terms of complexity, at least. Just that there's a lot of things to remember for each turn. The flavour/setting seems cool though.
