Triggar
2004-05-23, 06:32 PM
**Disclaimer: Do not vote in the poll unless you can commit to the dates and the location of the proposed meet-up!**
What: PSU Meet-Up
When: Friday, September 24th through Sunday, September 26th, 2004
Where: Orlando, Florida
If we can get 20+ people to commit to this, Hamma-Time will approve it, and maybe even con some Dev's into showing up and giving us free stuff!
Again, please do not vote until after you have checked with your parents, girlfriend, spouse, dog, bank, and little brother. We need to get an accurate count of how many people will be there.

well, it depends now, my mum said that if i raised the money shed consider letting me go, im dropping off 3 more job apps today and picking up another two. but see, if its during school year, which i belive this to be, (september) then i cant go, well, mabey since it is on a weekend after all, i could take a plane early friday morning.

Uhm, 2 major problems with this get-together.
a) Its after summer vacation is over. Some of us College students would appreciate the get-together being during a holiday break or (preferably) summer vacation.
b) Its in fucking FLORDIA. C'mon, couldn't we put it somewhere in the mid-east coast? That way us New Yorkers don't have to take an expensive flight? Hell if it was in Virginia or something it would be nice, a short flight and a less-hefty plane ticket. Better yet, have the get-together in New York! I'd love that :D
So basically, I prolly won't be able to come due to point a) and point b). Bad time, and too far.
Maybe I'll propose a north-east get-together or something... but it sure as hell ain't gonna be at MY house...
l3lizz4rd
2004-05-24, 03:38 PM
a) I don't know what college you go to, but taking a long weekend is usually not that big of a deal.
b) It's a $200 plane ticket... almost as cheap as they get.
Electrofreak
2004-05-24, 03:45 PM
Well, its kinda like RIGHT after classes start for me, so I'm kinda reluctant to miss any classes (first impressions ya know?). Also, if it was closer I'd drive... I'd be willing to drive up to 8 hours anywhere. AND if I was making more money it would seriously help... right now the cost of a plane ticket is 2 weeks pay for me... :(
We'll see I guess... if you guys had some Devs come I might be a little more inclined to save up for the flight and "be unable to attend class due to sickness" on that Friday.
edit- If I manage to net a decent job this summer there's a good chance I'll come.

Seven people to go! Come on guys, we're so close!
We could move it to the end of the summer (August 20-22) if the CDL guys can come to that... I like having it in September because then CDL can hang around if they want to and join us :love:

I personally think a limit should be slapped on... like a must post on PSU by "XX" 2004 or a certain number of people only... you have to remember this is a PSU meet not a PS in general meet...

West coast would seemingly be out of the question, unless Hamma Himself decides to have it there :p
Also, absolutely nothing has been planned yet, and if Hamma thinks we should do it, then I suppose we could do it in August as well! I just wonder if CDL would be able to make an appearance at the PSU event, which would mean they'd have to make two trips to Florida...
Anyway, we need six more votes of "yes" and then we'll have lift-off!
EDIT: How about everyone who'd definitely be able to make it during the summer post a big, red "YES" in this thread, and we'll see what the majority says!

Active on the forums or not - it's going to be a bunch of the people from PSU having a giant LAN party, eating pizza, hanging out around the hotel pool, and maybe harassing kids in DisneyWorld or anywhere else you guys want to go :)

No, it's not the mystery problem. It's the sheer tonnage of ownage my parents would drop on me if I even dared to ask to, during school, go to Orlando to spend the weekend with a bunch of people they've never met, alone, and to bring my computer along as well.
The ownage would look something like this:

Triggar

Jet, that would own.
If the Dev's come, we could rent out a space in Disney World and they'll host us, which would also own, imo.
Triggar
2004-05-25, 02:53 AM
We can't ask the Dev's to come until we get 20 people signed on. This could also include parent chaperones! So commence the begging!
Customized TangoUniform comics, specialty t-shirts, more Papa Johns than you could stomach in a lifetime, a great hotel with awesome rooms and pools, an entire weekend to bask in geek culture, LAN parties*, and a Disney/Universal PSU Day. Complete and utter ownage is promised if 20 people sign up!
*You don't need to bring your computer. Most hotels only offer dial-up, and I've found a LAN gaming center that would completely cater to us, and seems excited about the possibility!

Yes, you will have to pay for your own airfare, hotels, food and activities, but if it happens, we can get a group rate and the hotel room would be split, so I don't anticipate the actual costs (once you get yourself to Florida) to be that high.
I've made a list of things we could possibly do, right now the list is:
-LAN party
-Universal Studios
-Walt Disney World
-Ripley's Believe It Or Not Museum
-Kennedy Space Center
-Sea World
-Downtown Disney
Along with assorted other retarded things like a luau or a Medieval Times dinner, just for the hilarity of it.
Also, no minimum age requirement, all we'd need is for you and your parents to sign a rather detailed consent form to us way ahead of time.

Ive been there before, twice, there are only a few things that you want to play twice or three times. Like the Pirates of the Caribean Ride, thats pretty fun, itll test your roping pullins skillz if thers such thing as rope pulling skillz. They have some good regular arcade games too, but since its disney, no fps ones :( . It is a very interactive place and you'll get a day out of it. There was one game, dunno wat it was called, but it is like live a comic book, that I didn't like the first time, dont remember why, but I avoided the second. Just a heads up, although you can try it, youll no which one b/c youll c a bunch of people swinging a lightsaber, with no light commin out, around wildly (man do they look stupid). Have fun there tho, I am still talkin about it with my parents :)

Especially b/c everyone who works there has to act happy, so u can try your hardest to piss them off. Its funny when one snaps and tries to kill you. Thats when they go to disney jail...Watch out, Mickey works in the Disney jail.
The best ride in Disney is either the Rockin Rollercoaster or the Tower of Terror, which are both located in MGM studios.

Just making some comments.
Triggar
2004-05-29, 01:09 AM
All turbulence is when you fly into a moving pocket of air. No big deal, and when you think about the fact that the person flying the commercial jet you're on has logged upwards of 10,000 flight hours (need a mininum of 1500 flight hours JUST to get the license to fly commercial jets), he/she has thorough training and experience and knows that turbulence really most of the time isn't a big deal.
And yeah, there are a lot less planes in the sky than there are cars on the road, but you can get your driver's license after farting around in Dad's Buick for a few hours. To be a pilot, you need extensive ground and flight training and need to be proficient in every aspect of aviation - i.e. weather, Federal Aviation laws, aircraft systems, basic procedures, and emergency procedures. Every pilot up there is familiar with them, and have prepared for almost every emergency imaginable.

Never said x was safer then x. Its just that to the human pyche, well, mine at least, driving "feels" safer. Also, if you are gonna crash in a car, you accually have a chance of surviving. Not so for a plane. 100000 feet + terminal velocity + ground - parachute = death
I hate how the wings wobble.
i also wobble at 400+ mph
Triggar
2004-05-29, 02:21 AM
if you are gonna crash in a car, you accually have a chance of surviving. Not so for a plane. 100000 feet + terminal velocity + ground - parachute = death
Well, if you have an engine out at (let's say a more realistic altitude) of 45,000 feet, then you've got 45,000 feet of time to try and restart the engines and glide down to a safe emergency landing, maybe even on a runway.
If you've got a cabin fire at 45,000 feet, again, you've got 45,000 feet of time to deal with the in-flight emergency.
What you have to remember is that pilots are trained so extensively to handle all of these emergency situations. They have practiced the procedures so many times that they are second-nature. Everything is backed up with a checklist and ATC can be contacted via radios or transponder codes.
How many drivers do you know that would react instinctively to an engine failure on the highway, or a blown out tire? Or an alternator failure? I can only name three off the top of my head. THREE.
I hate how the wings wobble.
Also, to put your mind at rest, Boeing and other aircraft manufacturers actually do tests to see how much weight the wings can withstand in each direction before they break off. I don't remember the actual numbers, but I do remember an engineer saying that it's like twice the weight that would ever be applied to them. I'm talking about weight from both above the aircraft and below. So yeah, a little bit of wingtip vortices will not make the wings of the plane break off and send you to your death.

Something about not being connected to anything just scares the shit outta me.
Well, not really.
I wouldnt care if
a. Turbulance wasnt there
b. The god damn wings didnt flap
martyr
2004-05-29, 02:31 AM
well, look at it this way:
they're supposed to flex.
if they didn't, they'd break off.
a 74's wings are built to flex in normal flight around 8', and up to 20' if they need to.
they do this for both safety and physics: as the wings are drained of fuel, they change their geometry; similarly, when flaps and ailerons are deployed, the flex keeps the change in forces from giving you whiplash.
they're effectively the shock absorbers, and take a lot of the turbulence out of the ride for you.
Triggar
2004-05-29, 03:14 AM
I wouldnt care if:
The god damn wings didnt flap
Also, I don't know if Martyr mentioned it (mainly because it's 0310 and I'm lazy), but the wing flaps NEED to be deployed in order to increase drag on the plane and slow the flow of air over the wings, thereby slowing the plane down. We put the flaps down on final approach to land, for example.
I found this (http://www.grc.nasa.gov/WWW/K-12/airplane/flap.html) for you, if you want to play around a little bit with it to understand things a bit better.

Still no word on the official go-ahead decision, but I'm still looking into hotel availibility and I'm still planning an agenda for a meet that would, I think, happen sometime in August.
So write to your Senator kids, and tell him you want a PSU Meet :)

How many drivers do you know that would react instinctively to an engine failure on the highway, or a blown out tire? Or an alternator failure? I can only name three off the top of my head. THREE.
Make it four. I attended a D0D aggressive driver course, the one they teach to bodyguards, drivers, and other assorted 'special people'. It comes in quite handy when you drive in the MD-NoVa-DC beltway.

Not that I fly planes that offer movies to the passengers yet, but hey, I can dream.
And Frag, exactly. Imagine that sort of mayhem for an entire weekend, all over Orlando. I think we should do Medieval Times one of the first nights so we can call everyone "wench" for the weekend. Hilarity is promised.

Is that "King Henry's Feast" in Orlando? I've seen it passing through I-4 when my grandparents used to live there. I think it closed down or something.

2004-06-01, 12:14 AM
Aztec, I'll look into it tomorrow, but yeah, that's the one!
If it is closed, I'm sure we can find a suitable alternative. Even if that alternative is in Downtown Disney, we can still call our waiter/waitress "wench". And leave her no tip, explaining that in medieval times, there was no tipping.
And Infernus, sure dude, dress up as a knight. We can dress Dharkie up as me, and you can carry him into the room in your arms :)

Hey, I can/want to go. I'll prolly be flying in from Washington, DC.
Will there be transportation included? (Ie, someone to pick me up at the airport and transportation around the city)
Also, what are the projected costs? Just want to look at things in the big picture and think of how long I need to save money ;)

"Who the hell likes angel food cake, anyway?"
I do :p
Hey if you guys do it in August I might go. Problem is... when I told my father that I was thinking about going... he sounded interested ("Hey, I've been lookin for a bit of a vacation too!") but I'm not so sure I want my father coming along... hes cool, a long-haired burned-out ex-hippie buddhist... but not the kind that understands LAN parties and paintball fights and all that other "Teenage Stuff".
Anyhow, it just comes down to me saving up some money before August and reserving plane tickets and the like. Sounds like it would be a lot of fun!
edit- yes, what other costs will there be too? I would need someone to pick me up from the airport (no fucking way I'm renting a car, and those Taxicabs rip you off), also I need to know how much lodging is going to cost (all I need is a cheap hotel with a TV and I'm happy, don't need a fuckin suite) also, if we are going to go anywhere special that costs money I would need to know about that as well. However, keep in mind that my chances of coming are significantly higher in proportion to how cheap the whole event is. My job doesnt pay the best. Anyhow... if you could post up some estimated expenses, it would rock.

Well, I can give the goahead for Triggar to start arranging this. But in all likleyhood I will be unable to attend myself. I had already planned for the CDL event and with everything going on this year I cannot justify 2 trips or 2 weeks in Orlando. We just can't afford to do that right now.
Perhaps nextime if we know about it more in advance.
