Also, because the survey has been SO conclusive, I cede responsibility for choosing the final date to Fain.

Besides, you wouldn't be the only one out of sorts amongst all the British people.
Hoaracle2010-11-22 00:47:50
I have been secretly hoping that all these plans get pushed back until January (i.e. later January) so then I could come and meet! I shall cling to my hopes that this happens.

Lack of confidence? Seriously, I made it and I'm horribly anti-social. I did horribly overcompensate with huge amounts of alchohol though. If the crowd is like last year... it is nerdy and safe
Even in a gaming world I am incredibly nervous about aproaching people, expanding it to the rest of the internet I have to this day only succesfully talked to Leta on skype, and not because of a lack of want. With Sylandra I tried talking and no voice came out of my mouth, yes that bad. And from the people going I seem to not know any of them so I am not sure how comfortable I would be though I also sorta want to force myself to go for my own mental health.

I thought Canada was part of the British empire
Anyway not commiting either way, in terms of practicality what area are you guys planning on holding the meet. If I were to come I would arrive in London St Pancras with the eurostar so any additional travel time would be nice to know. Also best area to get a hotel in since I assume everyone is an axemurderer (and eurostar fees are a lot less for early and late trains *shifty*).
As for dates 18th I am free, 28th to 4th I have to work/be on 4h call (even if I could use my overtime, eurostar prices are triple in this period), anything later would depend.
edit: oh additional question, do you guys accept euros or do I really have to exchange money to GBP?

We are part of the Commonwealth, but that doesn't mean I've spent a whole lot of time around the people before. :/

I don't want to leave Hoaracle out of things, so I think Jan at some point if convenient.
I would suggest Jan 11th.
I am still quite happy to go to the pub on 18th December as well, but I don't want to divide our forces.

January 11th would actually be a lot better for me than December 18th, though I am able to do both.
Jack2010-11-29 18:16:03
January 11th is way better for me, so I'm completely on board with the schedule change.
Caffrey2010-11-29 21:52:51
As long as it's still going on after 6pm, I should be able to make it after work on Jan 11th.

Wouldn't have lectures the next day, so I think that would still work out for me.
Ilyarin2010-12-01 23:53:10
If Hoaracle can make it on that day then I'm game! Although that's hardly late January..!
Ilyarin2010-12-01 23:56:52
P.S., I also think Anisu should come.
Hoaracle2010-12-02 02:17:51
Jan 11th would be perfect for me! I am very excited at the idea of meeting everyone!
Shiri2010-12-02 05:08:32
I may or may not be able to make it then, but then both dates might be difficult with this house crap so I guess I will just hope it works out!
Diamondais2010-12-02 10:17:21
Just have to hope we don't get snowed in.

Anisu can't come Jan 11th . Last day of my work week but I have to work till midnight.
from december and january I am 'free' assuming I travel back the next day in the afternoon:
between December 4th till December 22nd
between Jan 12th and Jan 17th
between Jan 26th and Jan 31th
However if any of you feel like 2 days (or one day one night) london let me know, haven't been in london in ages.
Snow might be an issue because appereantly whenever there is a bit of snow the eurostar gets in trouble (which might be why I might book a flight instead)
Diamondais2010-12-18 17:03:41
Did we come to a final decision on this?
Unknown2010-12-18 18:29:44
I am applying to grad schools in the UK and hope that next year I can be there (so expensive though, sheesh!)
Caffrey2010-12-18 19:48:16
Well it is definately not the 18th Dec

Well, no. Snow kind of nailed that coffin shut I think.
