? I may've never been to Germany, but I've been to a few German food n' beer fests to know better than that.

You can also have some sauerkraut with it, but that'll cost extra.Beer at breakfast, homemade beer at lunch and a cool beer on evening
Don't forget the currywurst...or was I not supposed to mention that?EmanReleipS wrote:It's a trap!Pegasus wrote:Trust someone who'd have ppl over to Germany and be planning to feed 'em pasta & pizzaelect wrote:I will make you feel better than home, trust me ^^

). Why not split the difference and aim for the get-together to be sometime during the summer, which would also allow for more ppl to attend? Mid-March seems like a particularly tough time to plan for, what with many folks likely being either too busy with work or their regular spring [cleaning] schedule? If observing Epic's release date is not a negotiable constraint though, okay, I guess, go for it. Actually, I had wanted to do it in summer, but Xac brought up the good point that it's off-season and therefore will be cheaper, at least for people coming in by plane. March would work for most students, I think. I personally don't care for release dates and stuff. It just seemed like a relatively good time. If more people want to do it in summer or later this year, I'd need to re-negotiate it with my parents and I would need to wait a few months until their plans for summer are semi-clear, so that would put all planning on hold for a few months.Pegasus wrote:Simple quesiton, purely from a non-commital/advisory standpoint here: UT2004's 10th anniversary may be in mid-March, but CEONSS' 5th birthday is also up ahead and around late-Oct/early-Nov (first msg board post here is dated Nov 3rd 2009; before that it's all kinda hazy

Another option would be to really gather a lot of people. In that case summer might be better, because more people might be able to come and we'd have more time to organize it.Just some thoughts...my Monday morning brain dump through the fog of the cold I have at the moment:EmanReleipS wrote:Yupp, I would need to figure out when they have time again and they said they don't really know that far in advance. I'm not actually sure how far in advance you'd be able to book your flight.
Also, if we gather more than 12 people (absolute max), we will need to find a new place. That's really the max for our house. (Not the Hilton....just a house in which a family of 6 lived.) In that case we'll need to rent a place somewhere. I've looked around a bit and we're looking at 300€ at least. And not sure about what kind of sleeping options there would be. One place said that they can offer 1 shower...(yay?)
The neat thing about doing it at my place is that it would be for free, so there wouldn't be high costs apart form getting there somehow. (Since my traveling costs won't be so high, I'd pay for the majority of the food.) Especially considering we have 3 or 4 students, I want to keep the price as low as possible. That's why I was thinking about our house.
I'm fine with the current arrangement, but more players would also be exciting. It's really up to you guys.
). Then there are the technical logistical arrangements. 9 or so people on some of the big maps may be a bit of a small number, so we'd probably want to have the ability to go online to play on the server, so we'd need enough connections to do that. I presume we could connect 3 routers up to give enough connections? Do you have enough phone sockets for 3 routers? Most routers only have 4 ports. Hopefully your parents' broadband has enough bandwidth? Plus we'd need enough LAN cables. It would probably be a good idea to do some tests before hand to see if it's all going to work
