PSU: Mobilization Bravo

[Strygun]

And on that note.

Ladies and Gentleweirdos of the PSU community, it is with great pride that I announce the date of Planetside Universe Mobilization Bravo.

PSU:MB will be held from Friday July 15th, 2005 to Monday July 18th, 2005.

Mark your calendars, get the weekend off work, you've been warned.

Thanks very much! Now I don't have to worry about school and such, as I doubt *anyone* will be in school during those days anyway.

[Everay]

wewt! thanks trig, i wanted to know that, plenty of fuckin time.

[oddfish]

plenty of time to mine teh vespene gas. :)

[BizSAR]

Thanks again Hamma. I was beginning to get a bit worried there with the "caste" system and all. Keeping the registration fee out of the clouds and back down to Earth means a lot to us as well. Keeping it high "to keep out the riff-raff" is just not what I understood this site stood for.

We're all equal "riff-raff" here. :cool:

[Triggar]

I'm doing my best to keep the registration fee as cheap as possible - remember, Martyr and I have to pay our own way as well. We're not rich people, let me save you the suspense.

It's looking to be in the same ballpark as Alpha, but I know if I say anything I'll get quoted come registration time by a bunch of angry people - "BUT YOU SAID..." - so, I won't say anything except, start saving with the prediction that the event will cost between $350 and $500 a person.

[JetRaiden]

eh, thats the least of my worries. I just wanna get myself a spot.

[Squeeky]

Cant we just rent a room and play parcheeze and scrabble? So expensive :(

[Triggar]

:(

I gotta buy a car, pay for insurance, and build a new computer all before PSU:MB. I am gonna need some assistance with the rents. I'm not about to break out the dough in my savings account, i've worked too hard on that :p

Question: does a room for 3 days split 6-7 ways, a ticket to the zoo, and a day hosted by SOE really cost 500 bucks? O_O

My Birthday is on the 18th of july and i will be turning 18.

[martyr]

before anybody gets too excited, there are NO guarantees as far as a bravo merit is concerned.

as i understand it, they're giving us a merit because this is the first-ever event of its kind.

That's what I thought, and I think that's better in a way. Although I didn't even go and won't get one. It was the first of its kind and should be remembered. If they start adding merits for each one then they lose their uniqueness.

[Lartnev]

Unless it comes to Britland.... then we could have a Union Jack merit :D

i don't agree with that for two reasons:

first: in the military do they just stop giving you merits because you saved lives more than one time? no, you get another silver star or something. i mean, hell, look at John Kerry, he got a purple heart each time he stubbed his toe or got a paper cut.

second: i want one :(

I said to expect it to cost in the ballpark of $350 to $500 to err on the side of caution. If the event ends up being $400 and I hadn't ever said anything, people would bitch.

And yeah Gohan, there's a lotttt more to the event than just hotel and the zoo. Remember the cost breakdown from Alpha? What did you get for $350 - hotel, Medieval Times, Disney, Universal, Hard Rock Cafe, bus transportation, and a gift box. There's a lot to these events. I am doing my best to keep the cost down as much as possible but California is more expensive a place than Orlando, that's just something we're going to have to deal with.

[Baneblade]

Las Vegas is econoparty :P

My reasoning being the lack of the two theme parks. Just trying to figure out how it could cost more then orlando when one day is hosted by soe (they arnt charging us are they? :p) and there wont be 2 60 dollar theme park tickets.

[Triggar]

Yeah but the hotel rooms are smaller and more expensive - bigger cost divided by less people. Transportation is more expensive. The dinners will still be expensive.

I'm working on it. Have faith, Matawan.

[biodemon]

Hmm when will we get our merits for alpha?

[Triggar]

Martyr has been emailing Sporkfire about it and we'll keep you posted.

[Kuraltai]

Triggar, did y'all track down that stray package from SOE? ;)

[Triggar]

Haha, Spork just asked us about it. No, we have no idea where the mysterious box is. I bet they never really sent it at all ;)

[Kuraltai]

Haha, Spork just asked us about it. No, we have no idea where the mysterious box is. I bet they never really sent it at all ;):rofl: bad Spork! :p

[Baneblade]

Bet it was sent to Oshur...

[martyr]

Bet it was sent to Oshur...

i bet there are some people who logged on oshur before the bending that could get it for us

[JetRaiden]

UPDATE: I Will buy you a cookie if you go to PSU:Mobilization Bravo

seriously.

[Baneblade]

I will buy you a date with Infernus if you stop making promises we know will taste bad.

[EineBeBoP]

well shit, i only Kinda wanted to go before, but a COOKIE?!

DAMNIT >_< now I REALLY wish I could go!

[JetRaiden]

Im going to buy 35-40 of the most delicious cookies I can find, and bring them to the airport when everyone meets up.

[Baneblade]

I'll probably be missing the aeroport, seeins how i'll drive if I go at all.

[JetRaiden]

if you drive everyone meets at the airport anyway.

The thread will probably be re-stickied when things quiet down here.

[martyr]

or when we get more news to add to the thread

[Ivan]

Or when I turn the thread into a donkey porn thread. ;)

[martyr]

donkey ban

[NightWalker XI]

On a serious note now:

When PSU: Mobilization Europe or whatever ever happens, I'm gonna go, or if theres a PSU: M going on when I go to America again ha ha....

And if u hold it in France/England u can come to Jersey (the original, not NJ) in the Channel Islands were I live and all stay at my house :D

[Hezzy]

There'll be like 50 people, and not all will be from PSU.

[MrPaul]

Sounds like fun!
:brow:

[NightWalker XI]

Well when u do come to Europe, 50 people is fine to stay at mine :P

[martyr]

haha, maybe we'll do psum:europe after psum:delta

[JetRaiden]

you can actually hitch a ride on an oil tanker across the atlantic for like 20 bucks. you get your own room with a tv and everything. the only catch is it takes a month to get there.

[martyr]

is that true?

[Lartnev]

Only problem is, what on earth would you do in Europe? I mean it's guaranteed rain in the UK :D

[martyr]

i lived in buffalo ny for 15 years, i can handle UK weather

[Giovanni]

I lived in canada for 16 years, no fucking weather can scare me.

[Infernus]

I'd be up for a european trip... in ... ... ... ok guess not :( College = all teh monay

[Everay]

is that true?


could be, but im sure youd have to work on the ship to pay for the rest.

[NightWalker XI]

Yeah well funnily enough it doesn't rain that much, but then again I live as south as you can get in the UK so yeah...it is pretty sunny here until about this time of the year where its pretty dark and windy....

I would love for a PSM: Europe, that would so rock...theres a bunch of stuff to do in Europe, cause its various cultures and stuff thigns have different styles, and if its Portugal, Spain or Italy I can be your translator :)

[Everay]

hmm, i dunno, id rather go see all them castles, and what remains of Hadrians wall and all that anchient history shit.

[NightWalker XI]

That would be PSUM: England and that more like...we can also go there, lots of things to see in the UK, its cool stuff...London is great too for those who havent been...

[Baneblade]

is that true?
Yes.

[martyr]

i want links. if i can get a room with free tv for $20/mo, i'm all over it

[Baneblade]

There are no links, you talk to the shipping company and ask for a cabin.

[NightWalker XI]

ya but one month in a ship...not a cruise, a oil ship...with dodgy sailors maybe...

but would be an experience I guess...and oil tankers are fecking huge too so....

[Ivan]

I find the whole oil tanker thing hard to swallow, and ask SDM, I can swallow... ;)

There would be major Insurance problems. Insurance companies wouldn't cover that tanker company if they found out they were doing that. And Insurance companies are like the NSA; they know all and see all!

[Baneblade]

It is no more an insurance risk than it is on a cruise ship, which is extremely easy to get on if you have the money.

You can even get a temp voyage job as a deckhand for the Merchant Marines. It's really not as off the wall as many would have you think.

It's a lot easier to jump off of an oil ship than it is a cruise ship without being noticed. And then the company would be "responsible" for your suicide... bleh. I know what I mean, but I'm too tired to post.

[Baneblade]

Heh, in international waters there isn't much liability.

[JetRaiden]

just go to the nearest major pier/shipyard and find a tanker. its not really an organized business yet. Im thinking about doing it before college, going around the mediterranean.

[Baneblade]

Can be a freighter too.

[Triggar]

I'd be up for a european trip... in ... ... ... ok guess not :( College = all teh monay

I'm all for doing a European Mobilization too... but yeah, college = all teh monay. So it won't be for another, oh I'd say, six or seven years :p

[Mag]

Just a heads-up, this got de-stickied.

[AztecWarrior]

Sorry to bump this thread, but this is important.

I have good and bad news.

Good news: MIT has invited me to apply for a summer program. If accepted (I don't know how many other people have applied) then I will most certainly go, as it is free.

Bad news: Program session: June 22- August 6, 2005.

PSU:MB dates: July 15-18, 2005.

So, if I get accepted, I'm going- sorry, PSU, but I have to have priorities.

[Baneblade]

Hey man, PSU shouldn't come first before everything. I'm sure even Hamma has priorities higher than PSU.

[starbum]

Mit > Psumb

[Electrofreak]

Blasphemy.

Seriously though, Aztec, as much as I'd like to meet yah man, don't let PSUMB interfere with your academic opportunities.

[AztecWarrior]

Agreed long before any of you posted: besides, the chances of me getting in are slim.

6 people were accepted last year from FL.

It's a program for teens who are disadvantaged due to race and monetary background: I can tell you that being Hispanic is not a genetic disorder causing a disadvantage, and I am well-heeled. So I may not get in, and I'll see you all at MB.
