PSU Mobilization Alpha

[Triggar]

Ladies and Gentlemen of the PSU Community, it is with great pride and excitement that I announce to you that

PSU MOBILIZATION ALPHA IS ON!

From Friday, August 20th until Monday, August 23rd of 2004, the PSU Community will meet in Orlando, Florida for a weekend of fun and flames.

We will be staying at the Sheraton Vistana Resort (http://www.starwood.com/preferredguest/search/hotel_detail.html?city=&stateProvince=&country=&postalCode=&hotelLocationType=&pOI=&arrivalDate=2004-06-01&departureDate=2004-06-02&lengthOfStay=1&numberOfRooms=1&numberOfAdults=1&amenityType1=&amenityType2=&amenityType3=&nState1=&nState2=&nCity1=&nCity2=&requestedChainCode=SI&requestedAffiliationCode=VO&propertyID=5608&returnURL=&promotionCode=&corporateAccountNumber=&rcdi=&iATANumber=&groupBlockID=&ratePlanName=&starwoodPreferredGuest=&fromSearch=22XX&H=250&W=491).

The tentative plan for the weekend is:

Friday - big, celebratory dinner at Medieval Times.
Saturday - spend the day at Universal Studios. LAN Party and pizza afterwards.
Sunday - spend the day at Disney. Dinner in Downtown Disney.
Monday - breakfast at the hotel, and farewell's.

The cost has not yet been calculated for the weekend, but those figures will be released as soon as they are available.

Would everyone who is planning on coming PLEASE send me an email at [email protected], and include your PSU nickname, your real name, and your address so that I can send you the consent forms and Martyr can start drawing you for your custom comics.

Parents are more than welcome to attend, and if they are planning on attending, let me know in the email.

If you have any questions about the meet, email me at the address above.

Now, as far as Disney is concerned, I need to know which park everyone wants to go to.

Choices are:
1. Magic Kingdom (http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/wdw/parks/parkLanding?id=MKLandingPage)
2. EPCOT (http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/wdw/parks/parkLanding?id=EPLandingPage)
3. MGM Studios (http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/wdw/parks/parkLanding?id=MGMLandingPage)
4. Animal Kingdom (http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/wdw/parks/parkLanding?id=AKLandingPage)

So again, make sure to vote, and everyone, PLEASE email me ASAP so we can get this ball rolling! Thanks, and congratulations for making this possible!!

[martyr]

oh, it is ON!


goin to orLANdooooooooooooooo

[Infernus]

My mom still needs to talk to my dad... but since its in august my chances of going have been upped...

[ObnoxiousFrog]

God damn it, too bad I probably won't be on for this...sounded like fun too. Suppose I'll have to hope for another year of quality PSU antics.

[Hamma]

I am still tentative, money in this pocket is a little tight atm. Only one trip to orlando per year for hamma ;)

[Triggar]

I'm trying to make this trip as cheap as possible for everyone, since I myself am no Miss Moneybags! :)

[OneManArmy]

w00t! Road trip!!! Seriously though anyone around NC or on the way down I'll give ya a lift if ya need it!

[starbum]

Yeah yeah, im going.

[Triggar]

NEEDED:

Event Admin and Chaperones


If you are interested and are over 18, please email me with your contact information so that I can send you a registration form!

[email protected]

(Event Admin must be Planetside people, Chaperones can be parents or older siblings)

[Biohazzard56]

I May be able to go, have to ask my parents. I hope so, My dad thinks im to young for things like this. But if the Devs go that would be great, my vote is for Epcot. It worries me though that Triggar is organizing this because Martyr would come with and kill us all.

-Edit- Martyr is the most Heavily Armed Person at PSU.

[OneManArmy]

just because someone has lots of guns doesn't make him/her crazy....

[Triggar]

Martyr and I are not crazy, just prepared.

Our weapons (and YOUR weapons) will NOT be at the event.

Please speak to your parents and if they are hesitant to give you permission, ask them to be a chaperone!

And email me ASAP!

[Heavygain]

I really wish i could go. but how the hell would i get the cash?

[martyr]

-Edit- Martyr is the most Heavily Armed Person at PSU.

i highly doubt it.

anyway, there will be no weaponry at any PSU events that can be considered by the state of florida to be concealed or deadly.

that is, swiss army knife is ok - but don't bring anything you couldn't take into universal or a bar.

[Triggar]

I really wish i could go. but how the hell would i get the cash?

Start mowing lawns and babysitting :)

[JetRaiden]

*ahem*


WOOOOO!!!!!!!

MGM all the way!

[starbum]

Epcot.

Then we can look at the "futuristic" vehicles and giggle like japanese schoolgirls, claiming that they wouldnt even take a single reaver volley to kill em.

[Triggar]

PROPOSED CHANGE OF PLANS:

How about we do ONE park on Saturday, either one of the Disney parks or Universal Studios (http://themeparks.universalstudios.com/orlando/website/), and then spend Sunday at the LAN center.

Thoughts?

[JetRaiden]

I'd go MGM in Disney, Disney is great I love it. not in the mood for Epcot, thats always a side attraction when I go there.

[starbum]

A full day of planetside? 4-5 hours is hard enough on me :) That K/D ratio really starts to get to yah.

[martyr]

haha, i have a feeling we'll be doing things other than planetside, wot.

imo, we should get some big printed map of auraxis and laminate it to a card table, and play risk (or just debate strategies and smoke cigars)

[Triggar]

We could also play FarCry or City of Hero's, we don't necessarily have to play Planetside!

[Incompetent]

Martyr's suggestion would make a good end to a day

Park doesn't matter to me, I'll be sorting some stuff out with the rents tonight so my e-mail should be on the way soon.

[Triggar]

Awesome :)

Keep 'em coming, guys!

[XxXMaRiNeXxX]

/gah...football camp starts the 18th...

[JetRaiden]

haha, i have a feeling we'll be doing things other than planetside, wot.

imo, we should get some big printed map of auraxis and laminate it to a card table, and play risk (or just debate strategies and smoke cigars)

omfg I am there.

martyr thats awesome.

lets play like CoD or DoD, or BFV or Desert Combat something everyone is familiar with.

[Triggar]

Someone suggested we all play one game together and frag the hell out of eachother :)

[martyr]

hey, outfit people: post this news story to your outfits, bring them along!

http://www.planetside-universe.com/index.php?newsid=897

[starbum]

ROFL

GOLDEN!

*adds that to the todo list*

[ORANGE]

my parents said it was ok i just have to find a way to raise the money :(

[Triggar]

Start mowing lawns and babysitting :)

[JetRaiden]

I recommend babysitting. just sit at their house and watch TV, and get paid $50+, depending on how long.

[Triggar]

Got an RSVP from Squeeky :)

[BIGTROJANMAN]

w00t! Road trip!!! Seriously though anyone around NC or on the way down I'll give ya a lift if ya need it!

I might take you up on that if i can get the money to go. If i do I'll pay for half of the gas cause that shit is expensive.

[Triggar]

Ah! That would be amazing!

Keep up the great work, everyone! Carpool and help a brotha' out!

[BIGTROJANMAN]

if it comes down to it we could get a old school bus and pick up people from North and South Carolina......never mind that would suck balls, so what do you think would be a estimate on the price so i can see how many hours i need to put in at work.

[JetRaiden]

Got an RSVP from Squeeky :)

I wouldnt mind squeeky coming, he's a fun kid. if anything itll be more of a good time.

[OneManArmy]

only if he wears the pizza factory hat :lol:

[Triggar]

what do you think would be a estimate on the price so i can see how many hours i need to put in at work.

I'm hesitant to say right now because the final itinerary isn't set yet, but it will be somewhere around $350.

Obviously I am making changes necessary to reduce that cost, but be aware that the figure only includes hotel, Medieval Times, admission to two theme parks, a LAN party, and pizza. More can be added on, and that does not include your own spending money or lunch in the park. I'm also debating whether or not to ditch one day at a theme park and just have us do ONE park that weekend, and spend the other day LAN-ning.

I will get a detailed list as more gets planned. :love:

[EarlyDawn]

Alright, I have a 70% chance of going. My parents' anniversary is also on that weekend, so I told them to bring dad along too and turn it into a nice anniversary thing. The only major concern is airfare for three people.

BTW, what is the chance of dev attendance?

[Triggar]

Dunno yet, I just emailed them about it today, so we'll see!

[BIGTROJANMAN]

thank you I'll call my boss tomorrow and tell him to give me more hours. :groovy:
So is there anyone from North or South Carolina that would want to carpool?

[JetRaiden]

alright, me and everay have been discussing this, and we've created a solution.

what if we get like 4 rooms, order a ton of rollouts, and everyone can just come "visit" us in the room and sleep there overnight.

also, heres the rates for that weekend:

http://www.starwood.com/preferredguest/search/ratelist.html?propertyID=5608&requestedChainCode=SI&requestedAffiliationCode=VO&categoryNumber=&iATANumber=&corporateAccountNumber=&minPoints=&maxPoints=&arrivalDate=2004-08-20&departureDate=2004-08-23&fromPage=prop_overview&roomOccupancyTotal=1&lengthOfStay=3&parseRepeatable=true&numberOfRooms=1&numberOfAdults=1&ratePlanName=&ciDate=08%2F20%2F2004&coDate=08%2F23%2F2004&theBrand=SPG

[Hamma]

We have zero confirmed dev attendance at this point. We have only let them know that this is happening, so there is a possibility we may see some dev attendance.

[martyr]

jetraiden:

triggar's got rooms and rates set already, and the reservation in. - i don't know the exact details, but it's $115 for all three nights. she'll post detailed cost breakdown later

[Biohazzard56]

Scarchaism

Yes, I cant spell

[BIGTROJANMAN]

triggar's got rooms and rates set already, and the reservation in. - i don't know the exact details, but it's $115 for all three nights. she'll post detailed cost breakdown later

If it wasnt already set, we could like rent a beach house.

[Kikinchikin]

Oh man, the Vistana! That place kicks ass! I remember that was the best hotel I've ever stayed at.

Wish I could go, but can't. Maybe next year.

[starbum]

Looks like things are coming together nicely, EXCELLENT.

[Triggar]

Oh man, the Vistana! That place kicks ass! I remember that was the best hotel I've ever stayed at.

See people? Leave the planning to me :love:

[Strygun]

See people? Leave the planning to me :love:
rofl

yet again, another reason why I'm trying to be there.

[Triggar]

Keep trying, the more PSU staff we've got there, the sweeter it'll be :)

[JetRaiden]

damn trig you got the price for this thing down to less then half of what I thought it would be. :thumbsup:

[Triggar]

But my estimate does NOT include travel expenses!

If I were a rich pilot, you'd all fly for a third of what it'd normally cost.

[JetRaiden]

thats not a problem. round trip tickets for me cost about $188.

[Incompetent]

wait, I missed something, when did this get moved to august?

[Triggar]

When it came time to actually, and not hypothetically, plan it! :)

[starbum]

$183 Round trip tickets
+350 Estimated Cost
+$100 Buffer
$633

Hmmmmmmm, I can do it.

[Incompetent]

Well, I can't do august, so take me off the list.

[Strygun]

round trip tix for me will be about $206.20, flying with delta. I'll check on the other airlines sometime soon.

[Triggar]

Awesome :)

[starbum]

Here's an idea, what about an AGN broadcast during the event?

[Strygun]

starbum - probably only from the LAN center, or the hotel if they have free broadband access.

other than that.. probably not.

[martyr]

ask the devs ... more live than ever before!!!! (we could do it friday night instead of thursday - with the devs that show up)

[Strygun]

ask the devs ... more live than ever before!!!! (we could do it friday night instead of thursday - with the devs that show up)
Hotel description says "Cybernet Cafe".. if the speed is fast enough, I smell an Ask the Devs LIVE LIVE! ;)

[Triggar]

Oh man Pom Pom, that would be God saying,

"Here Planetside, your time for Ownage hath arrived".

[starbum]

Hotel description says "Cybernet Cafe".. if the speed is fast enough, I smell an Ask the Devs LIVE LIVE! ;)

Seeing its a "really nice" hotel near a rather big tourist attraction, the odds of it having high speed is rather large :) Hell, even the hotels here in Winchester have DSL lines to all the rooms :)

[OneManArmy]

rawr...

[Triggar]

Seeing its a "really nice" hotel near a rather big tourist attraction, the odds of it having high speed is rather large

I'll call the hotel tomorrow and find out, and keep you all posted!

[Indecisive]

Gah...so much..big text X_X



WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT. Yay. Yay for meeting.



....act like a stereotypical chaperone around me, and I will push you off the hulk.

Ill be 17 by the time that happens, I have my own car, ill be driving there by myself, and I_will_stab_you.

:lol:

[Indecisive]

Also, about the Uni/disney thing:

I vote Islands of Adventure. Disney is only meh. They have rocking roller coaster, and tower of terror, and lots of screaming little children.

Uni rox.

However, Dunno if we can lan ALL day. Maybe.....Disney Quest? Its cheaper than regular disney, and you cant really kill ALL day there, unless you REALLy are determined to.


Man. If I can get a job between now and then (which i better damn have...) then maybe i will stay the whole weekend.

[Everay]

ask the devs ... more live than ever before!!!! (we could do it friday night instead of thursday - with the devs that show up)

'WHOAIOHAOTHFAIHga"IRHWg'aihrg
aegihr
'ar

We got devs coming?

[Indecisive]

Not confirmed.

[Triggar]

But our fingers are crossed!

[Electrofreak]

I'll prolly be there but... damn it sounds expensive. I only make like $400 a month, and half of that goes to paying for my car. So, in order for me to go I really need to save like crazy.

What I just need to know is the approximate total cost of the whole thing. I'm willin to spend like $300-400 for this trip I guess...

no weapons? ah damn... I wanted to show off my nun-chukas prowess :p
then again im guessing airport security wouldn't be too happy if I tried to bring them along...

[Triggar]

No, I don't think they would be too thrilled about that.

Estimated cost at the moment, which is PROBABLY going to change (either decrease OR increase) is about $350.

This is for the "bare essentials" - i.e. hotel, Medieval Times, I think that's two theme parks included, LAN time, and pizza at the LAN. Obviously more planning needs to be done to include other miscellanous expenses, and I will come out with a final figure hopefully sometime tomorrow!

[cyberkiller]

1 question... is there a age limit to this event... cause im under 18... and i KNOW all of u gonna be drinking =P.. not that it matters.. i jsut want to know...

[martyr]

we have parent consent forms you can get filled out if you're a minor.
stuff like allowing us to give you medical attention if, say, your foot gets chewed off by a badger.

[cyberkiller]

LoL.... chewed off by a badger.. funny


*EDIT*
im soo tired hehehehehee :groovy:

*EDIT AGAIN*

and also thanks for the info martyr

[Electrofreak]

No, I don't think they would be too thrilled about that.

ah ok thanks Triggar, that just about falls into the zone I was estimating myself. I *SHOULD* be able to come... but I can't commit 100% yet... my job isn't the most reliable thing in the world (my pay fluctuates, a month ago I got a 40% pay cut... for all I know it could happen again) so I will do my best to save up and prepare. Is there a certain time that you need us to commit by for reservations and stuff? I'm sure I'll know whether I'm going or not by the beginning of August but lemme know if you need me to commit whether to go or not sooner.

[tbdsamman]

Will there be a Marriott anywhere nearby? Becuase my Dad is in their highest group (he travels a LOT and we would probably get the plain trip for free :groovy: ) and might be able to hook some of you guys with a deal.

[cyberkiller]

mmmm yummy, dealz! :groovy: :) :D

[Hayoo]

Will there be a Marriott anywhere nearby? Becuase my Dad is in their highest group (he travels a LOT and we would probably get the plain trip for free :groovy: ) and might be able to hook some of you guys with a deal.

Yeah, there is a massive Marriott south of the Sheraton. It's further down the interstate so it doesn't seem as centrally located, and further from Universal and International Drive. I don't know how nice their budget rooms are. I tried the reservation thing but it didn't have anything available for the planned dates, might be all booked.

Sheraton looks nice though, I drive by it several times a month as I'm less than an hour away from the place.

[martyr]

hey hayoo, you said you had some family obligations before, but wasn't that for the september dates?
(can you come now?)

[Hayoo]

hey hayoo, you said you had some family obligations before, but wasn't that for the september dates?
(can you come now?)

I checked the calendar and the new August date again falls on another weekend I'll be out of town. :( The earliest I can be back is late Sunday night. But things might change by then, I'll have to see. In any case, at the least I could drop by to say hello or grab a bite with you guys.

[Triggar]

Is there a certain time that you need us to commit by for reservations and stuff?

All payment must be received by me no later than

AUGUST 1st

This is to ensure that thousands of dollars for hotel rooms and dinner reservations and park tickets don't get charged to my debit card when there's no money in there to cover it. Also, it's a few days before the cancellation deadline, so I will have time to change reservations and not get charged if our numbers change.

[Manitou]

So its safe to say we are looking at around 450 dollars or so to be safe. I have cleared it through the "boss" and I am a 100% go for this.

I will act as an Event Admin. (and "internal security" ;) if need be). Triggar, let me know if there is something you need me to help with prior to or during "Alpha" that I can begin to prepare for now.

Looking forward to this. :cool:

[Hamma]

If Mani is going to be there I definatly have to make every effort to attend :p

[Manitou]

If Mani is going to be there I definatly have to make every effort to attend :pIndeed. :love:

[Triggar]

Mani, I'm thrilled that you've signed on to help. Would you be able to PM/Email me with the "itinerary" of what you CDL guys are going to do for your Rally, so I don't go overboard planning ours?

Hamma-Time, what if I inflate the cost by, say, $20/person to pay for you and Jenny to come :)

[Strygun]

Hamma-Time, what if I inflate the cost by, say, $20/person to pay for you and Jenny to come :)
feel free to jack it by $30 and let me come too...

[Triggar]

Maybe Sony will come through and chip in a bunch of money, that would own :)

[Hamma]

Well thta would be hot but its not really fair to those who are coming :P

[Indecisive]

Grah...I dont understand how this is gonna work for me. I really dont want to stay at the hotel. Im only an hour away. Is this possible? Also, because of the CDL rally, I might just pick up a year pass to Universal, due to going twice is about the cost of one...

[Manitou]

Would you be able to PM/Email me with the "itinerary" of what you CDL guys are going to do for your Rally, so I don't go overboard planning ours?PM sent. We have smaller numbers, so its not quite as elaborate as maybe the "Alpha" one will be.

[Dharkbayne]

Well thta would be hot but its not really fair to those who are coming :P

It's the least they could do, after all, if it wasn't for you, there would be no PSU members to meet up!

[Triggar]

If you really don't want to stay at the hotel with us, that's cool, and if you want to pick up a 2-day pass to Universal at the PSU Mobilization and use the other day for the CDL Rally, that's cool too, but just let me know well in advance so I can adjust all the numbers.

Also, the itinerary is by no means set, which means the final cost is by no means set, so I will be hard at work today sorting out the details and hopefully by this evening I will have a final number and itinerary for you.

EDIT: Thanks Mani! And Dharkie is correct.

[Manitou]

It's the least they could do, after all, if it wasn't for you, there would be no PSU members to meet up!For once I agree with something Dharkbayne has said.

[Hamma]

:lol:

[martyr]

what about a voluntary donation of $20 to the "meet hamma" fund
maybe for a raffle...

[Kaltagesta]

Someone needs to make a 'Thanks Triggar' thread for all her immense hard work that she has put into this. It's really pretty amazing. I won't make it, since i'm not going it feels a bit weird, but she still deserves a round of applause.

[AztecWarrior]

Done with the quickness.

[Triggar]

Hard work my arse, I love planning this, I'm trying so hard to make sure that everyone (from the 14-year-old kid with his parent to the 22-year-old gamer) has a great time, and I hope that everyone who comes does :)

[Dharkbayne]

For once I agree with something Dharkbayne has said.

For once? You know I'm always right, :p :lol:

[starbum]

Amen.

Thanks Triggar!!!

[martyr]

hey, it's starbum of uva, everybody!

http://students.db.erau.edu/~davis812/tu/UVAvote.jpg

[Triggar]

You guys are certainly welcome, and I hope you all have a great time.

Now the real tricky question at hand at the moment is: Rainforest Cafe or Planet Hollywood?

I'm thinking Rainforest Cafe, but for those who have never been to Orlando, it might be neat to do Planet Hollywood. Oh well, thoughts?

[Strygun]

rainforest cafe!

I've been to both restaurants and I definatly like Rainforest Cafe!

[Dharkbayne]

Eeny Meeny Miney Mo picks the Cafe.

[MonkeyPox]

Yeah, Dhark is so cool. I agree with him.

Did I mention Dharkbayne owns to the 10th degree?
Omg you're so cool Dhark, I love you. OMG. Have my girlfriend and all my money! And my house!

[I Hate Pants]

Im still 50/50 on whether I can go or not. It all depends on how much money I can make in two months.

Keeping in mind it'll be more exspensive for me. What with the Canadian dollar and all.

Not to mention I haven't spoken a word yet to my parents still about this.

Can I send my payment to you via Paypal? Direct it to PSU.

[Triggar]

I was going to talk to Hamma-Time later tonight to find out how I'd go about setting up a PayPal account for this, like he did for the PSU Fundraiser.

I know that would make it a lot easier for some of you!

EDIT: I've been on the phone all day already booking reservations and tickets and now I'm about to run out and get an Orlando Travel Guide to make sure I haven't missed anything, but I just want to edit this post because I am SO FREAKIN' EXCITED about this!! This is going to be such a good time! I hope everyone can come!

[starbum]

hey, it's starbum of uva, everybody!

:huh:

[Infernus]

August 1st... that might be hard but i can make it... so help me god i will...

[CptMoriar]

Noooo...school starts the 18th for me :'(

Looks like it will be a kick ass event! gl and have fun all!!!!

[Triggar]

Thanks Moriar!

My planning notebook is all polished up now, and I'm about to find out a bit more about restaurants in the area and I'll finally find out about broadband in the hotel.

And you all will hear about my findings soon enough :)

[Indecisive]

If you really don't want to stay at the hotel with us, that's cool, and if you want to pick up a 2-day pass to Universal at the PSU Mobilization and use the other day for the CDL Rally, that's cool too, but just let me know well in advance so I can adjust all the numbers.

/edit/ Sell PSU T-shirts and such for inflated prices to stab at Hamma's cost slightly.

[JetRaiden]

I might buy a PSU shirt or something for the trip.

[Kaltagesta]

http://www.egochimp.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/psu2.jpg

I can make it a load better if someone tells me what they want, and i can make it blend into whatever colour shirts you choose. Any critisism? Any ideas? If you can think of it, i can pretty much do it.

[Indecisive]

You HAVE to have the PSU warpgate thing on it somewhere.

[Kaltagesta]

i planned to, but i couldnt find a high res pic of it, so i couldnt copy it, and i couldnt get it from anyone but hamma [or Jupe, prolly] because of copyright and stuff.

[ZionsFire]

I have a very good chance of going :D I'll get the money sent ASAP.

[martyr]

gohan, it's $115 for all three nights...
a more specific cost breakdown will probably appear once the devs announce whether or not they're coming, because if they do, we'll do a banquet with them, and won't if they don't.

[Ivan]

Although I am not going I'd like to see more details about the LAN, i.e. since there is no need to bring your own computer what games are installed on these LAN computers? Can you install your own games provided that you legally own them? (warze = ban ;) ) How many computers are there to use? How long are you able to use them? I.e. is there an allotted time you are allowed to use them?

[Triggar]

Ivan, the group rate for the LAN center is $3/hour, and I'm still undecided as to when I should book it. I believe they have Planetside, FarCry, City of Heroes, and some other ones, I will look later for you. There is no limit to how long you're at the computer inside the time I've booked, but after that you're on your own :)

I just bought a travel guide for Orlando, so I'll be pouring over it tonight and tomorrow as I finalise the itinerary. Also, I've received group menu's for the restaurants I've got set, so I'll be gathering opinions on which ones to choose and that will affect the final cost that I'll release sometime soon!

[Hamma]

That lan center would probably offer us a deal since we are all so r33t

[JetRaiden]

We should play one of the battlefield games so we can all frag eachother in the same server. or any 64-player multiplayer game.

[Jennyboo]

I would love to be there if Hamma and i can afford it :P~

[Triggar]

Jenny I hope you two can make it, I would hate to be the only girl there :-\

I don't know how much time/energy we'll have for LAN-nage, but I'm gonna book the center for the time when we'd be most enthusiastic about gaming - our last night together!

Alright guys, I just got off the phone with the hotel and here's what I learned:
- no broadband access on the property, only ::gasp:: dial-up.
- free shuttle service to Disney, I have to call tomorrow to find out how much it's going to cost to get us to Universal, the Airport, and Medieval Times.
- they are sending the restaurant menu to me as soon as they figure out how to attach a file to an email.

So keep nagging your parents, kids, because this is going to own.

I dont care if theres a bad interweb connection, the only reason Id use it is to post on PSU, and I doubt Ill be doing that on the trip. :D

[starbum]

- no broadband access on the property, only ::gasp:: dial-up.

GASP, Im shocked. Shocked and appauled I say!

[Triggar]

Yeah but with the itinerary I'm planning, you guys won't really care about not being able to access email or PSU.

Besides, all the big posters will be sharing a hotel room with you :)

[martyr]

Besides, all the big posters will be sharing a hotel room with you

i'll admit, i hadn't thought of that.

that's right, all the cool people will be there

/me glares at the non-attendees
(except for hamma, cuz he's coming.)

[Indecisive]

Someone is gonna say "lol" and other things to that effect im guessing. Everyone passing by will be like "WTFH?" except without the abbreviations.

[Manitou]

Will we be assigned rooms? Or do I get to pick my roommates?

[Indecisive]

Good point. It sounds to me like the costs are calculated on one person one room.


Yall might be able to save some more money :p

[Triggar]

Mani, you get to choose your roommates....

Well, YOU do at least. I'm gonna Nazi-Assign everyone else http://er7600.com/ctaf/images/smiles/smilieNazi3.gif

EDIT: Gohan, the hotel costs are calculated like this:

$239/night + 11.5% tax = $267 x 3 (nights) = $801 x 4 (suites) = $3204 total

$3204 divided by 30 (people) = $110/person

[Hayoo]

- they are sending the restaurant menu to me as soon as they figure out how to attach a file to an email.

Did some searching of tourist reviews, found this quick summary:


Garlic Bread
Fresh Vegetable Soup
Spare Ribs
Roasted Chicken
Herb-Basted Potato
Pastry of the Castle

Drinks
Beer, wine, soda, coffee and tea


"The unlimited banquet feast includes a pizza brochette appetizer, vegetable soup, roasted chicken, spare ribs, potatoes and pastry dessert served by "serfs" and "wenches." In true medieval style, silverware is not used. LOL. Priceless. :) Meals are individually pre-plated here. Hot or cold vegetable platters may be substituted if requested in advance. Two rounds of sangria, beer, soda, coffee and tea are included with the meal price. Additional beverages cost extra. "

:lol: You rock - never forget that.

[Indecisive]

Yeah, if you are talking about medival times, I already listed all of that. Dunno if thats what you are talking about though.

[Triggar]

Gohan, I dunno if you saw my edit to my earlier post about hotel prices.

Mani, like my mom always said, "You are who you're friends with" - so my awesomeness is in direct proportion to everyone on PSU's!

[Manitou]

Okay, my next task is to select 7 elite roommates. I require the following standards to be met to qualify:

No snoring.
Early riser(s).
Can make a good pot of coffee.
Non-smoking.
Can press clothes. (haha j/k)
Depending on the number of people Triggar assigns to a room, I will be accepting applications for my roommate positions. Interviews to be conducted on a first-come first-served basis.

:D

[Triggar]

Mani, we're ALL going to have to be up pretty early, since the hotel restaurant (where I plan on having breakfast) serves until 11am, and the itinerary says we'll be on our way to the park at 10am!

And I hope that no one who comes will be smoking on this trip, and if they do, they can take it outside! It's Florida, so that whole "it's cold out!" excuse won't cut it!

EDIT: I've reserved four suites, sleeping eight people per suite. The plan is to have one Event Admin per room with chaperones distributed evenly. I hope to eventually "assign" people to each Admin for the sake of keeping everyone in check and accounted for!

[Hayoo]

Yeah, if you are talking about medival times, I already listed all of that. Dunno if thats what you are talking about though.

I missed that post, thanks Gohan. :) Wasn't sure if a menu had been found from what Trigger said.

How many of you are going now? I noticed more than 23 people have voted on the thempark. :p

Oh and if no one mentioned it, bring cool clothing. It's extremely hot right now and we haven't even officially hit summer yet. You might want to figure in some pool time or something.

[AztecWarrior]

Read this:

Because of general incompetence as well as corruption in the Miami-Dade school system, the school year is being enlargened by two weeks- school now starts on August 16 as opposed to late August, which even then was pretty early. Why? They wish to study for the FCAT, (Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test). I doubt there will be any improvement in FCAT scores due to said reasons and general stupidity.

However, it gets worse.

I go to a private prep school. (All-male. :( ) The Archdiocese of Miami calls the shots when it comes to our school schedule.

We are being moved up two weeks, despite *not* taking the FCAT, solely to coincide with the public schools.

I hate this world.

[Manitou]

Mani, we're ALL going to have to be up pretty early, since the hotel restaurant (where I plan on having breakfast) serves until 11am, and the itinerary says we'll be on our way to the park at 10am!Early in my book is 0500 local - Coffee at 0530. Physical training, 0600, is optional if you have a doctor's note and a waiver from your parents. ;) Showers and personal business accomplished by 0730.

Well said.

Temperatures in Miami are already in the High 90s in Miami, even going past 97 deg. F. With the humidity, it feels like more than 100 degrees.

For a Floridian, this is "Sun and Fun."

For a non-native Floridian like me or a foriegner to the Solar Radiation State, this is "Is it just me or DID THE FUCKING SUN JUST GO NOVA!"

Please. Try not to bring baggy jeans as your sole lower-half clothing. I recommend shorts*. Who cares if someone points at you and says "Who wears short shorts...!" They will be burning in heat.

Nah, its cool, I think she was talking about the hotel resturant anyways, which is what I wasnt sure of.

With the registration packet, I will include a list of suggested things to pack for the trip, menu's for all the restaurants we will be eating at, as well as a yearly average temperature chart of Florida. And in the goodie bags, you will receive a bottle of sunscreen.

did you say you'd post the cost tonight? I need to work out my finances so's i can pay ya on time... :) unless you accept monopoly money... ;) or...*ahem* "favors" :brow:

[JetRaiden]

so, will we meet up in the airport or hotel? or is that still in discussion?

[Triggar]

How big are the rooms? Large, and in charge.

I'll try and find a floor plan and post it.

Jet: There's a shuttle service from the airport to the hotel, so we'll have some Admin at the hotel, and some at the airport rounding everyone up.

Which reminds me, if you guys are flying in, I'm gonna need to know your flight number, airline, and what time you're arriving!

Screw that, this one is better.
Bear in mind that there are but 2 seasons in Florida: Dry/Hot and Wet/Hotter.

THE SUN HAS GONE NOVA! (>100 deg)
^ During 'Wet/Hotter'

WHAT THE HELL IS THIS, A NAPALM STRIKE?! (90-100 deg)
^ Most of the year

IT BURNS! (80-90 deg)
^ Just Before and after 'dry'

Damn, Florida's hot. (60-80 deg)
^ During 'Dry'

Floridians are dropping dead of hypothermia, foriegners are rejoicing (<60 degrees)
^ I think this happened once. Waay back then the poles were shifting.


*NOTE: Limeys, Frogs, and other assorted wankers can go screw themselves.

[starbum]

I uhh.... umm... dont care what room im in. Well maybe I do. I want to be with the "cooler" of the cool people that come.

Idea: Empire specific rooms. ;)

We could have mini-struggles for each of the beds. Have one guy place a hack on it (placing their empire logo printed on a white sheet and holding it above the bed), hold it for 5 minutes, and go around the rooms. I'd love to see the VS own all the rooms.

[Triggar]

Haha, we'll see about that Starbum.

Martyr and I were discussing the possibility of a real-life PLanetside scavenger hunt sort of thing. More planning is needed and details will be released at the meet :)

[Triggar]

Alright guys, the itinerary is set, and the final cost should be released sometime tomorrow.

I will of course keep you posted on my progress!

[EineBeBoP]

Ill try to come on one condition. I get to room with OMA and possibly 1024.

...School starts the 16th tho, so I really wont be trying too hard :p

[Triggar]

Sure Eine, you can have your room with OMA and 1024.

On a related note, I've gone ahead and made a COMPLETELY UNOFFICIAL (http://students.db.erau.edu/~cimat41a/unofficial.htm) itinerary for the weekend. Have a look and tell me what you think.

[Electrofreak]

yeah... im gradually becoming more set in my plans to go... it seems very likely that I will be going as well (tho im not 100%). I also hear that Squeeky is going... but I've promised Triggar that I won't beat him within an inch of his life (which I think is pretty generous of me). We want this whole event to be fun... so yeah... I'm gonna behave. Anyhow, this sounds like its going to be a total blast... really lookin forward to it. :)

[Doop]

Downtown Disney has a huge arcade (like, huge, it takes up an entire building) for free to play each game (you just pay to get in). I forget what it's called, but I remember it.
Anyway, I doubt I'll be able to go but eh there's a chance.

[Hamma]

Some things happened to me today job wise that *should* insure my attendance in august. It may even secure both mine and jenny's attendance - we shall know more soon :D

Yeah, that would be DisneyQuest. I suggested it a few times.

[Triggar]

And I shall look into it today :)

[Indecisive]

FYI...its cheaper than a reg theme park.

[Triggar]

Yeah, but will everyone want to do that for a whole day?

[Dharkbayne]

Planetside-universe. A website made for gaming, we are gamers, if there are games, we shall play.

[Triggar]

And I will plan accordingly :)

[Electrofreak]

woot! Yay Hamma and Jenny are comin, now we can get 'em drunk and take pictures!

[Indecisive]

I originally suggested this for when a "whole day of lan" was a possiblity. My theory was half lan gaming, half Disney Quest, then we could go to dinner while still in downtown disney.

[martyr]

there will be lan
there will be parks
there will be dinner
flames and excitement are on backorder, but good chance.

[Electrofreak]

woot woot! /me begins saving like crazy

I'm SO fuckin' THERE.

[Indecisive]

I know THAT :p

Ill bring some fire.....


I was refering to when trigg mentioned something about a full day of lan, opposed to lan'ing till like 1am after disney hah.

[Triggar]

Sorry guys, I don't think there will be a full day of LAN.

My logic is, we're all geeks, we're all gamers, we game all the time with these people, and this weekend will be a weekend to hang out with them in real life, and not in game. BUT, I've kept in mind that we are all gamers at heart, so I've booked the LAN center (as an optional event) for a few hours on Sunday night.

[Febnon]

can we have another one in say... '09?

[Triggar]

If this one goes well (i.e. 35+ people come, Dev's come, everyone behaves and has a great time with no one going to jail), then hopefully it'll be an annual thing!

[JetRaiden]

If this one goes well (i.e. 35+ people come, Dev's come, everyone behaves and has a great time with no one going to jail), then hopefully it'll be an annual thing!

Bah. You are missunderstanding me again.

You said something along the lines of "instead of disney, maybe we could do a full day of lan?" A while ago in the disney park decision thread. I was just referenceing what I said, in that thread, that instead of full day of lan (which I wouldnt be able to stand really) would be half the day at lan, and then have the day at DisneyQuest, because you still get lots of interaction at disneyquest. Then, since we were at downtown disney anyways (which is where disneyquest is located...) we could go straight from DisneyQuest to whatever restaraunt (Rainforest Cafe/Planet Hollywood I think you said?).

Thats all I was saying, just referencing some things, even though the iternerary seems set in stone already.

[Triggar]

Not really set in stone, just sort of set in clay that's rapidly drying :)

I didn't get much done today as far as booking reservations go, but I'm working on building a webpage for the Mobilization. Since I don't know crap about coding, this could be a while!

[starbum]

I know alot of crap about coding & design, so if you ever need a little assistance you can just email me with whatever :)


(Ie, my job is web design & graphics)

[Triggar]

Starbum!! Has Martyr already enlisted your help in designing a logo?

Also, if you're on IRC, send me a PM and I'll let you preview the site so you can tell me how awful it is :)

[starbum]

Yes he has, and I already sent him a proof :)

Do you have aim or ICQ? or should I just hop in the IRC room to send you the links?

[Triggar]

Hop on IRC!

[JetRaiden]

we shouldnt spend a full day at disney quest. its not worth that. I went there last year, theres ALOT of waiting in line there.

I wouldnt mind a full day at the LAN center. Fragging people from PSU is fun, but fragging people from PSU when they're 10 feet away from you is even better.

[Indecisive]

Buzz Lightyear bumpercars are teh pwn.

Dont be mislead by the name.

Its bumper cars, with sides and a top, and with a soccer ball launcher cannon. Cannons are win.

Haha, where is that, Gohan?

[JetRaiden]

Buzz Lightyear bumpercars are teh pwn.

Disney Quest is great but its not worth a full day. we only have 3 days, so time is precious.

[Triggar]

Yeah, I'm reworking some stuff from the itinerary to make sure that both useable days are gonna kick-ass.

I'm gonna keep Disney on one day and Universal on the other, but switch around a few little details to keep everyone happy!

[Indecisive]

The bumper cars are at disney quest, along with a load of VR stuff.


Not to mention a VR "room" that is a pirate game.

One person drives, and then a few people run back and forth on the moving platform shooting off cannons.

[JetRaiden]

yea the VR stuff is cool. some of it is lame, like the light-saber rip off, bug swatting one, but theres alot of really fun, immersive games.

[Indecisive]

Alright guys, I contacted Bawls about sponsorship, and a rep is going to get back to me tomorrow.

OH IT'S ON!

[JetRaiden]

yay! bawls! :doh:


yea, for some reason, I think they need to change that.

[Triggar]

I think that was their point.

I'll also be on the phone with NewEgg and some other people re: sponsorship tomorrow, so I will keep you all informed as well :)

[Indecisive]

Say everybody have you seen my bawls their blue-on-the-side-and-clear-within. If you ever need a quick NOS boost for your system just put my bawls in your mouth. oooh. suck on my highly caffinated bawls bottles just stick em in your mouth and suck em.


However, free bawls would rock. Gimme.

[Diviant]

Well, just talked to my mom about this, and she says I may be able to go. We'd have to move our camping reservations around, but I'd definately want to go. Sounds great. We have like $2500 in travel cards from this contest we won, so airfare shouldn't be bad.

[Triggar]

Awesome!

Email me as soon as you know for sure - and I say, bring your parents along :)

Spork poped into IRC a few minutes ago. He said he was "trying to" come to the meet.

[JetRaiden]

OMFG woot! Devs are making an effort to come we're awesome!!!

do you think spork will autograph my ass?

[Indecisive]

If you unveil your ass it will have many things inside of it very quickly. This IS psu.

[OneManArmy]

i might have a friend or 2 joining me. ill email you if its definate.

As promised, I looked into Disney Quest (http://attractiontickets.tickets.com/buy/TicketTrans), and unless I should tack an extra $80 onto everyone's ticket for a few hours of entertainment, I think I'll leave it out of the itinerary.

I'm working on a budget now, I just need to make one or two more phone calls to get everything ready, but the information should be available by Monday.
