I'd be up for it, but Raleigh, NC to Illinois is one hell of a road trip.

perhaps an east coast meeting somewhere.  Me and Stratcomm could carpool!

One after set in london please :yes:

We could do a series of them. West US(Cali?), East US (Champaign IL), West EU (London), East EU (Finland?).

We'd have to spread them out, As I'd like to go to as many as possible.  :nod:


Champaign isn't really on the east. Something around Washington or NYC would probably be more suitable.

Then again, Snail does have a point. :D

Hmm. Air fares have dropped a lot from here to the USA in recent years, so it sounds quite interesting. With a good showing, I could easily be convinced :) As for a later one in London, that would be a given for me. I can fly to London for nearly as cheap as taking the bus to the local shopping mall.

Okay, i'll book the main exhibition hall at the LA Convention Centre for the 24th. I'll expect to see everyone there.

So what I'm hearing so far is that we'd like to have at least 6:
We could do a series of them. West US (Cali?), Central US (Champaign IL), East US (PA? Atlanta, GA? What's good for you guys?), West EU (London), East EU (Finland?), Far East (Australia).

I'm just worried that by spreading us out, not enough people would go to each one to make it worthwhile.

I heard somewhere that half the population of the US is within 12 hours' driving distance of DC.  NY probably isn't that far behind.

Champaign would be great, though, if for no other reason than to tour :v: and eat at Papa Dell's. :)

I would be totally up for this, though.  Sounds awesome.

Sheesh, you mean they don't allow brazilian psycopaths in? Intolerant bastards. I guess you could fly to Canada, then drive across. Apparently that works even if you're on a watch list and are stopped by a border guard who is well aware of who you are :p

Anyway, one of the main attractions for me if something like this were to happen, would be if I could just shake the hands of some of the people who made it and say thank you in person for giving us such a great game. Afterwards of course, i'd rather like to blow them to pieces (or get blown to pieces by them) in a network game ;) Given that my mp experience amounts to about two hours several years ago, it would probably be the latter...

Maybe we should have everyone list which country/state they live in or major city they live close to so we could chose the best spot?

If I weren't leaving in four days, I would be all for this.  We would probably be better holding a US East convention somewhere cental in the Eastern US (Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Indiana).

I live about twenty minutes northeast of Indianapolis, by the way.

Could we do this as a regular thing for those of us that can't come this year?  I'll be off at training for the better part of 2 or 3 years, so maybe make it an annual thing or something? :)

Oh, I might actually be able to make that when I get some time off.  I'll in Monterey until about November 2008, so San Francisco, anyone?
