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

[Sudo_Nym]

SP? I don't know who that is, but I'd be happy to hang out with Brandi.

[Zorblag]

@Ythill, Troll expects Troll's friend to be working when Troll gets into town. Troll had expected to have to amuse Trollself for a while. As Troll no has any great fear of spending time on public transportation Troll no be overly opposed to the trip you be describing. Troll supposes it might depend on exactly how early others planned to show up at the Tugboat. Troll be capable of spending 4 hours drinking in a bar Troll no be used to on Troll's own but it no be Troll's first choice of activities these days.

[Ythill]

OIC. Well, we'll work it out as the time draws near. It will be easier to plan once we know ETsA for others who are showing up.

@Sudo:

SP is Sociopath.

[Sudo_Nym]

Oh. Then I guess I'll stay out of it, then, since it seems the party is full without me.

[SocioPath]

Yeah, I can confirm that both me and my alt have about an 80% likelihood of showing up.

[ReaperCharlie]

Brandi is coming! Sweet.

LOL @ sociopath's "me and my alt" comment. HAHA

[Ythill]

I sent a mass PM of pertient questions to everyone on the lists (except Sudo who gets the pleasure/horror of regularly talking to me in person). So this thread will hopefully be inundated with activity over the next couple of days. Less than two weeks until go time and I'm very excited.

We still need to figure out where we're getting extra chairs, plus I need to figure out parking. Xine and Zorb are collaborating on the food movie. It looks like we'll be getting into our new apartment shortly before the big weekend. So there should be extra crash space if needed. Wooooooooot!

[ReaperCharlie]

food movie?

[Ythill]

Sorry, rainbow slang. "Movie" == project or activity. Like, right now I'm working on the Scumstorm confirmation movie.

It's astounding to me how many of you folks are up this late on a weeknight.

[ReaperCharlie]

Well, I for one most certainly do NOT have a baby crying in the house.

[ReaperCharlie]

Alright! I've changed my sig! It's go time!

[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...)

[nhammen]

Also, got anything more interesting than a first person shooter? I mean, talk about generic. There's got to be a sidescrolling beat-em-up available for next gen somewhere.

Here is where I plug XBox Indie Games! I don't have a game on there, but I do know that there some good sidescrolling beat-em-ups.

[ReaperCharlie]

Metal Slug Anthology FTW.

[Kise]

Kise are you even coming?

I took off work to go to the Caffwagon. You all should definitely take pics. The west coast is too far for me.

[Oman]

Hey guys, take some pictures (esp. of Xine ) because there is no way I'm hitting the US right now. I'd love to see you all having fun and being communal though! I promise in return when I bug Ythill and Xine (am I the only one that pronounces that "Zeen") I'll have photos of that too.

[Zorblag]

@Oman, Troll will be bringing Troll's camera for such things, yes. Troll expects Troll will get pictures up on Monday the 23rd or Tuesday the 24th depending on how tired Troll be when Troll gets home.

-Zorblag R`Lyeh

[Ythill]

Today I phoned invites to many of my gamer friends from Portland. No confirmations yet, but I'll keep you posted. Sometime during the next 24 hours I will parse the answers y'all sent me and post a loose itinerary.

[Xine]

Ahh Oman, you keep talkin like that you might just make me blush someday...

[animorpherv1]

Ythill, I would so tottally come, but as it stands, I'm too young to travel on my own (going to be 16 the Day after Stumptown), and have no money to travel down to Oregon freom Ontario.

[Oman]

Ahh Oman, you keep talkin like that you might just make me blush someday...

It was difficult for sure to continue to refer to her as "she" after she had put her penis in me...

You're a delicate flower, you are.

[Xine]

Thanks Oman, wrong thread? We are very much looking foreward to your visit, btw
Does anyone have "GO" you know, with the wodden grid board and the black and white pieces?

[ReaperCharlie]

Hahahahaha.

Me and al_kohaulec are actually reconsidering, and thinking about not coming, cause it'll cost us too much for gas.

Dam# you, Saddam Hussein.

[ReaperCharlie]

yeah after a bit of discussion, it appears that myself and al_kohaulec are going to have to back out due to financial reasons as well as pretty stringent time constraints.

sorry for any inconvenience. i'll still advertise in my sig tho

[Internet Stranger]

Youre giving up an epic adventure because of some money? Better to live with the possible and quite temporary remorse of being broke afterwards than the definite lifetime of regret for missing out on anything.

Youll see what I mean when we post pics of the belly dancers.
