Oddworld fan meetup

[Wil]

EDIT: As Cloverfield asks in the comments, would it be possible for the recording to be uploaded somewhere for time-delayed viewing?

Yes.

EDIT: Must have been some weird caching issue, because STM's post was not there when I posted this. To answer him, no, there isn't an Oddworld stand. There's a talk at 3-4pm and the fan meetup at 4-6pm.

[STM]

Ah I see, will we know where to meet you for the fan meetup closer to the date? =)

[DarkHoodness]

Hi, I have booked a day off and everything to go to the meet up because it said that you don't have to have a ticket to the Eurogamer Expo. I then got a message on my Facebook page saying you do, and its sold out now Help?

Actually I wanted to ask this too - Apart from Oddworld, there aren't enough franchises being shown off at Eurogamer which interest me enough to justify buying a ticket (and also 'cause I'm tighter than a nun's chuff, don't earn a lot, and train fare prices are through the roof) - However I was planning to buy one if it turned out that you were holding the meetup at the Eurogamer venue and not outside. If that's the case, it seems I've left it too late now.

So do we need a Eurogamer ticket to attend the fan meetup?

[Nepsotic]

I'm pretty sure you do, and the annoying thing is, I could actually attend this. It's not like I have anything to do, ever.

But you have to have a ticket to Eurogamer? Why? Wasn't it just a little thing that was organized as OW fans would be around there for Eurogamer anyway?

[STM]

You need a guardian over 18 to get into Eurogamer if you're under 16. As it stands I'm not sure if I'll be able to pull off acting as my brother's guardian.

[Nepsotic]

Nah, I'd have someone with me, I don't have a Eurogamer ticket, it's just bollocks that you can't go to the meetup without one.
Bollocks.

Ummm... it did say in the poll and this original post that you wouldn't have to have a ticket to the meet up... If you do need a ticket, then that would suck major balls. I've been talking about this meet up to everyone I know over excitedly for like a week! Might have to check out ebay or something...

[Wil]

The reason you need a Eurogamer Expo ticket is because this event is being hosted within Earl's Court. The Eurogamer people have been very accommodating and helpful to provide us with a venue when we'd left it so late to organize (which itself is because it only occured to me fairly late on).

The reason we said for the poll that you wouldn't need a ticket is because we hadn't started looking at venues yet, and as far as I was aware there was no chance of it being in Earl's Court. Once we knew there was the possibility, we stopped saying you wouldn't need tickets.

Obviously we've been putting out information in a confusing and misleading way. This is something I need to learn from. I'm very sorry that this has happened at all, and I'm dismayed that so many people won't be able to make it. There is a chance I could find a suitable alternative outside Earl's Court, but it's not that likely even if I can find the time to look between the dozens of other things I need to get done in time for Eurogamer.

[DarkHoodness]

Ah well, that's how it happens and you had your reasons. There'll be other opportunities, other expos, and other fan meetups in future, I'm sure.

Guess that means I'm sitting out of this one, but nobody is missing much by not meeting me in person. :P Those who are attending, make sure you all have fun now, alrighty?

[Manco]

You could always host your own meetup.

[Nepsotic]

And risk about 5 people attending?
Wouldn't that be embarrassing?

[Manco]

That would still be six more than your meetup.

[Nepsotic]

Good point.

[MeechMunchie]

Me, STM, Wil, Lorne, Crashpunk and two confused friends of mine should be there.

[Wil]

Plus Stew, Glitch and possibly our producer if he wants to tag along. Oh, and our new PR guy. And Chris's friend. It'll be fine.

[Crashpunk]

You'll like my mate; He's a right odd-ball.

also I'm taking a camera so I DEMAND GROUP PHOTOS!

[Havoc]

I want video of all of it.

[Phylum]

We need video evidence of Wil and Lorne together to make sure they're not the same person.

[Wil]

@Havoc That may happen.

@Phylum You haven't been watching the office Livestream.

[STM]

I might wear a flamboyant ballroom mask, not so keen on having pictures left right and centre of me.

[MeechMunchie]

We'll just get you drunk, take it off and write all over your face.

[Nate]

I might wear a flamboyant ballroom mask, not so keen on having pictures left right and centre of me.

Given your predilection for half-nude pictures here, I'm going to assume you mean only a flamboyant ballroom mask.

[STM]

That was one time, in direct response to one of AiN's! Also, I always remove my pictures when there's a new page, as far as I'm aware there aren't any on the forum at the moment. Or maybe one actually.

[Bullet Magnet]

Are you planning to disperse at six or go somewhere else to hang out?

[STM]

Yeah it'd be good to know where the meetup is and a reminder of the times because I'll have to be home by ten at the latest since I'm bringing my brother home by train and all.

[Crashpunk]

We need video evidence of Wil and Lorne together to make sure they're not the same person.

That I can arrange!

[Bullet Magnet]

And since I don't have a ticket I'd like to know if I can see anybody afterwards.

[STM]

See you there guysss!!! =D

[Manco]

I can’t wait until something inappropriate inevitably happens and this thread turns into a bitchfight.

[MeechMunchie]

I kissed Wil.

I actually did.
