Interest Survey

[Triggar]

As a lot of you guys know, there's been a lot of chatter about a PSU Meet-Up. Hamma mentioned it a week or two ago, where we'd all get together and have a massive PSU LAN party, eat tons of pizza, and hang out together.

I'm not saying that Hamma's agreed to go ahead with this idea at all, I'm not in any position of authority on the subject here either, but I was just wondering what the interest was for this sort of thing.

The CDL Rally is from September 17th to the 19th, 2004, and I thought it'd be cool if PSU tagged along. So far I've found hotel rooms in Orlando from $60/night up to $160/night. I know where the CDL lads will be staying and we could even stay there.

So, both for the sake of letting Hamma know how much serious interest there is in this thing, and also for planning purposes, how many of you could SERIOUSLY make the trip to Orlando for this?

(Under 18's, talk to your parents before you show interest, 'cause I'd like to know a serious number of people who'd occupy hotel space! Let's not do anything illegal! Parents can come too... but they can't LAN with us unless they're cool)

[AztecWarrior]

Yes. I'll just ask my dad to take me to Orlando, during school, to play 'games' with a bunch of people he doesn't know.

However, he does know how to LAN. But he only plays Day of Defeat...but he does it well. Don't let him near that MP44.

[JetRaiden]

I think this should be by invitation only. It wouldnt be too great if the information was displayed publically.

[Triggar]

What fun would a PSU Meet-Up be if only a select few members were there?

[Infernus]

I would... but 17th to 19th... is that a weekend? I can't go during a week cause of school...

[JetRaiden]

What fun would a PSU Meet-Up be if only a select few members were there?

well not a few select but just like the regulars, not like people who have been around for less then a month.

[Triggar]

I would... but 17th to 19th... is that a weekend? I can't go during a week cause of school...

It's Friday to Sunday.

I say whoever wants to, and can, should come - the more, the merrier, eh!

[Infernus]

It's Friday to Sunday.

I say whoever wants to, and can, should come - the more, the merrier, eh!

hmm... In that case I might be able to get my mom to let me skip school on friday and come...

[martyr]

well, i could hardly turn that down.

if it happens, i'll set up a little custom comics station and do personal drawings for people

[Infernus]

Actually now tha I think about it those dates would probably be the best for me... just cause its after summer and by that time my AP class papers will be done... if it were during summer I would get the "Do your schoolwork" lecture...

[Indecisive]

Yup, its friday- sunday in september. I should be able to make it at LEAST on saturday. I feel obligated with it only being an hour away ^_^

[OneManArmy]

if This is serious I could make it. and pick anyone up that lives between Pinehurst, NC and Orlando :D

[Jaged]

So where did we decide it was going to be? I hope I can make it. It would be extrodinarly bad ass.

[EineBeBoP]

Cant this year, but possibly next sumemer when I have a lisence and such I'd be possible. Until then, pretty much guaranteed no.

[Indecisive]

Man, you would drive through like 4 time zones to get to a PSU meeting in theory?

Damn, you are more commited then I am :p

[1024]

Hrmm, from CA to FL? c'mon, get closer than that.

[EineBeBoP]

Well thing is I'd do it anyways.
I have family in Georgia, and all along the east coast. I wanna do a big road trip when I get my car.

[Strygun]

am I supposed to vote if I'm going to the CDL rally anyway?

[Rbstr]

I would like to go but its durring school and my parents would neve go for it, nextyear however i may have my own car then i could

[xmodum]

I have no clue if I could, most likely no, cause of school. But if its close enough maybe I can, my dads a gamer too so maybe I could get him into PS and then he will tag along and give me a ride ^_^. I live in FL, so it might be possible.

[Fragmatic]

well, i could hardly turn that down.

if it happens, i'll set up a little custom comics station and do personal drawings for people

That's a good enough reason to go :D

I Want to if we do have one, so I got 4 months to find �300 or so =/

[Everay]

id like to, but i dont think so, im looking for a job right now, ill see when the event comes up.

[Dharkbayne]

I wouldn't be able to come, that whole being on the exact opposite side of the country problem.

[Hamma]

Well if this was going to happen there would need to be at LEAST 20 people who can confirm for solid that they are going. It would also take place after the CDL rally, because that is something I personally would like to have just with my team.

Either way if there is solid interest its something we may go ahead with. There is also a good shot that SOE would help us out with such an event and maybe even send devs or other goodies :p

[Fragmatic]

SOE can pay my airfare :P

[Mushnator]

SOE can pay my airfare :P

[Rbstr]

Like Pie?

[Infernus]

I would like to go but its durring school and my parents would neve go for it, nextyear however i may have my own car then i could


Thats prolly what'll happen for me too...

[Triggar]

Well if this was going to happen there would need to be at LEAST 20 people who can confirm for solid that they are going.

Come on guys, we can get at least 20 of us together and commit to this! We can change the date (well, we WILL change the date as to not conflict with CDL!) to whatever's easiest for people to get to.

Think of the potential for awesome!

[Fragmatic]

How about... we make it later, like this time next year, more time to organise, more of a turnout, and we can have a PS 2nd birthday :D

[JetRaiden]

I can pretty much confirm that Ill go. 17th-19th would be a good weekend for me. plus my dad owns a penthouse or something down there. if its possible maybe some of you guys could stay there if you had to.

[OfaLoaf]

September's a bit late. School would've started for some people by then. If it was July or August, more people could go.

[Triggar]

Well, let's see how many people could commit to it, and then we can figure out when's a good time for everyone. July/August would be sweet, because we're not in school, but whatever's best for everyone!

[Setari]

hmm... In that case I might be able to get my mom to let me skip school on friday and come...

but July/early August would give me MUCH better chances of coming.

[jedi]

I would definately come. Fortunately I live in Miami, Florida so it's a 3 hour drive to Orlando.

[OneManArmy]

yea this aint gonna happen.... there's no commitment here.... maybe ill just apply for CDL.. :p

[SDM]

How about... we make it later, like this time next year, more time to organise, more of a turnout, and we can have a PS 2nd birthday :D
Hell yeah, Spring Break '05. I'll have vacation time back at work :)

[Indecisive]

Well, we need to do it. Now we need to find another date futher in the future, and then make another poll heh.

[martyr]

how about making it the week *before* cdl, and just saturday/sunday instead?

[Lartnev]

Wish I could, but unless all you Americans fly over to the UK I couldn't possibly attend :(

[Hamma]

September is the 2 year anniversary of PSU.

[Fragmatic]

September is the 2 year anniversary of PSU.

:O

PARTAAAAAY!

[martyr]

anniversary party?

i move that we make friday an optional day, maybe schedule fun-but-unimportant stuff, for those who can't get the day off.

i like having it in orlando for convienience of CDL folks - or maybe just hamma & jenny. i suppose most of them can't just hang out all week.

[Infernus]

Its not the airfare or school thats the problem now... its the mother, currently her opinion is "Thay are all whacos". And this isn't helped much by Dhark going ballistic insane on IRC or Thronebeast saying "We all sleep nekkkid"...

[JetRaiden]

Spring Break 05 would be cool, except it shouldnt be the first week of it (2 1/2 weeks in spring break for me) because Im going to aruba with a bunch of friends. but yea, 17th- 19th works for me I guess.

[Triggar]

I like the idea that we do it a week earlier/later than CDL - that way, if any of the CDL-ers want to spend a nice weeklong vacation in Orlando, they can catch the front end of the PSU meeting.

I love the idea of holding it to commerate the 2nd anniversary of PSU... it gives us more time to plan (and more time to plan means a sweeter meeting, theorhetically!).

[Infernus]

...I may be able to come... if its not deep into the school year my mom would have no qualms... I also like martyr's idea about friday being not manditory...

[Retroactive]

well, we COULD move it to Texas :P because i live in New Mexico, i doubt my parents would let me fly over to Florida because we dont exactley have the money. if you move it to El Paso, i may be able to get my parents to drive over there. maybe even Austin or Marble Falls, because my grandparents live there.
EDIT: im not saying change everything for me - lol - some people live way over in CA and it would be nice if they didnt have to fly all the way across the entire country.

[JetRaiden]

sorry, we're not gonna move it just for you. :p

[Retroactive]

heh, sorry, i realized that at the last moment and edited it right after i posted it :\

[JetRaiden]

I know what you mean jackson, but airfare to orlando can be cheaper then to texas, generally speaking.

[Triggar]

And there's more to do in Orlando.

[JetRaiden]

I went to disneyworld a year ago. Ive been there like 5 times. it never gets old. cant wait to ride tower of terror and rock n rollercoaster with you guys. :groovy:

[Infernus]

[Everay]

[JetRaiden]

INDEED! well... i'll skip the tower of terror... I hated that thing...

[Triggar]

i dont like coasters.

I'll get ice cream with you while everyone else has fun pulling G's!

[Everay]
