PSU: Mobilization Bravo - Page 13

jet, as hamma pointed out, he founded this community to escape from the elitism of the OF community - it only makes sense to follow his direction.

also, i doubt too many of the OF folks are going to be willing to put all the money up immediately, which improves the average PSU'ers chances. that, and you get all this forewarning; you should be fine.

Not for us. The fee to attend Mobilization Bravo is non-refundable. Otherwise, the money would come out of my own pocket, and I'm a 22-year-old college student. Not going to happen. Take it or leave it.

Indecisive · 2004-09-19, 08:50 PM

Which is my point. Mani was sure he could go, but then work acted gay on him, forceing him to cancel. He lost his deposit, but diddnt pay the bulk 260 or whatever it was.

Therefore, with the entire fee upfront, if something shitty like that happens, with circumstances beyond someones control, thats going to be damn shitty if someone gets caught in that situation.

shit happens. if everyone schedules everything in a few weeks in advance I doubt this would happen again.

I'm a certified Dive Master with NAUI and I hold PADI certifications as well. I'm currently an assistant instructor, and training to be a fully-qualified instructor. I can help knock that rate down for anyone who wants to go diving (you must be Open-Water certified, I'm not training anyone).

Wtf? You need to be certified to go scuba diving?

Oh, that is BULLSHIT. They can watch along the sidelines if they don't want to fight, I'm ~~taking my Spyder TL + Boomstick~~ renting out a marker, donning my blue shirt, and fighting for the NC team.

Can we bring a mask and a vest?

Everay · 2004-09-20, 12:39 AM

triggar, got a date set for when you need the money? if i know thatll light a fire under my ass to get it.

AztecWarrior · 2004-09-20, 12:44 AM

Nothing is set in stone at this point.

Everay · 2004-09-20, 12:54 AM

what about a idea set in jello?

Triggar · 2004-09-20, 07:40 AM

We will keep you posted as soon as we know how much the event will cost.

And Gohan, yeah that does suck if someone has to cancel. But what would suck more is if I've already paid for everything, then someone cancels and wants their money back, but I've already paid for everything, so I'd have to give them their refund out of my own pocket.

Absolutely not going to happen.

Baneblade · 2004-09-21, 01:53 AM

Well as long as it is clear that no refunds will happen, it shouldn't be an issue.

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

That was about two pages back.

I want to calm everyone here who is all excited about PSU:MB - obviously it is going to happen on the dates we stated. However it is still in the planning stages this time around imo things will have to be slightly different.

Personally, I would like to lower the registration fee as low as possible. This is going to take some time and planning before we go forward. IMO - registration for the event will NOT begin until sometime around the first part of 2005 for a ton of different reasons.

Last but not least I started this site becuase I wanted everyone to be as equal as possible, the original community I came from would shit on anyone who was new and label them as someone who didnt know jack shit. I wil do everything in my power to be sure that never happens here.

Anyway, everyone just chill - its still a ways off.

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 · 2004-09-21, 05:38 PM

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

oddfish · 2004-09-21, 05:41 PM

plenty of time to mine teh vespene gas.

BizSAR · 2004-09-21, 06:49 PM

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.

Triggar · 2004-09-21, 07:12 PM

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 · 2004-09-21, 07:25 PM

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

Squeeky · 2004-09-21, 08:12 PM

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

I'm game. Only if we're naked. Or at least in manties.

Baneblade · 2004-09-21, 08:19 PM

Strip poker.

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

Indecisive · 2004-09-21, 09:43 PM

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

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 · 2004-09-22, 08:52 AM

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

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
