Title: LONDON MEET 2008
Post by: Joeno on May 08, 2008, 16:02
Reminder: The deadline is extended until the 20th. Be sure to sign up before then if you still want to come!

Ladies and gentlemen PKMN.NET members,

The summer is coming up, the admins want to celebrate a holiday, and we have decided we want to spend a small amount of that time with you. Therefore, here is the real, official, actual announcement for the second PKMN.NET official meet!

Where? London, again. This is during my holiday, and I want to spend my holiday in an interesting place, not some backwater sleeper city with no attractions. I don't think a meet in Paris or Athens will be much appreciated either.
When? 26 July. This is a Saturday, which some people preferred over last year's Sunday. The room and plane tickets are booked, so this is now set as well.

How? Sign up for it. But only if you meet our requirements. Only those of 16 years or older are allowed to attend. If you're 16 or 17 (and in some cases even when you're older), you must ask your parents or guardians for permission. That's a legal requirement.

If you are interested in coming along, reply to this topic. Do so before 20 July, so we have a chance of planning everything. Also let us know if someone will be coming along with you, so we can take this into account for our plans.
('Donations' might also speed up the process. Payment possible before or during the meet :))

Exact times and locations will be decided in private, and you will not be able to do so until you have signed up and have been approved. This is to prevent just anyone from finding out what's going on and assure we can have a slightly safer meet.

Admin note: We are not interested in complaints about the location. The meet will be in London. We're not going to travel around the country to meet anyone, we don't want to go to a place for one day, while spending the rest of our holiday elsewhere, and we don't want to inflict such a burden on every single other member who's coming either.
Times are not negotiable either. We've already had to do a lot of planning to get a time that is vaguely appropriate, and having booked everything, we can't change it now. Also, a similar reasoning as before applies.

(As for the small print: We reserve the right to refuse admittance to members for any reasons we consider appropriate. If, for example, you joined the site two days ago, you need to forgive us for not being quite as sure about your intentions)

Interesting...

...unfortunately I work on a Saturday =[

...unless it's an AM thing. I don't think I can make it.

*Is disappointed, but doesn't mind*

-Just to let you know that I am interested though...

I'm sorry, but it won't be. It simply wouldn't work out for everyone.

Yeah. I understand that... =/

Meh.
Title: Re: LONDON MEET 2008
Post by: Liam on May 08, 2008, 17:17
hehe, I live in London...

So yeah, I could tag along if it is close enough to me...

But yeah, I know my limits so I won't be willing to go too far...

:p

Post by: Joeno on May 08, 2008, 17:20
Only those of 16 years or older will get to enter our special group. If you're 16 or 17 (and in some cases even when you're older), you must ask your parents or guardians for permission. That's a legal requirement.

This is a hard limit. You must be 16 years old or older. I'll clarify this in the post. However, I cannot allow you to attend this meet, as the admins don't want to take the responsibility.
Title: Re: LONDON MEET 2008
Post by: Liam on May 08, 2008, 17:24
Ah yes, I must have misread that. :p

Ah, ok, that seems perfectly reasonable.

If I see you dancing around the streets i'll throw donations of money at you...

Aaww.. I also live in London and I'd love to come however.... I'm 15 and my birthday is in January D: .. If only rules could be bent ¬¬

Post by: Enigma on May 08, 2008, 17:35
I'm eighteen and definately interested to come, however, I need to see if I can get the day off work on the Saturday. Sign me up, but do it in pencil so you have the ability to rub me out :P
Title: Re: LONDON MEET 2008
Post by: Joeno on May 08, 2008, 17:38
People, for my sanity, if you must discuss about how you can or cannot come, do so in a seperate topic. Please reply only to sign up when you are certain or to ask questions.
Title: Re: LONDON MEET 2008
Post by: Turner on May 08, 2008, 17:40
Yep, I'm 16, I can come and I'll see you all there. My mum won't mind but I'll ask anyway for the sake of the topic and the whole legal thing.
Title: Re: LONDON MEET 2008
Post by: Mushroom on May 08, 2008, 17:50
16, will be 17 by the time of the meet. I'll see you all there.

Awesome! I ll be there no matter what!

We MUST find us an arcade with HOTD. Me wanna team up with Kat. ^^

Post by: f3raligatr on May 08, 2008, 18:38
I should be able to come to this one if you're prepared to put up with me =P. I'm not as bad as people think I am in person, Alex/Kay/Mike can vouch for me there. The only doubt, if there is one, is not really of much concern.. I'll get it sorted soon.

Like Enigma said, pencil me in for in case I need to drop out. Oh, and a question if I may ask; donation? ;o
Title: Re: LONDON MEET 2008
Post by: Xagor on May 08, 2008, 18:51
Yeah I'll be there probably.
Title: Re: LONDON MEET 2008
Post by: Anarcree on May 08, 2008, 18:56
I asked my Mum earlier if I could go and she said yes. All she said I needed was the money for the train fares and someone to be with on the train. Which Rob could help with the second one.
Title: Re: LONDON MEET 2008
Post by: Darkphoenix on May 08, 2008, 20:46
Well, I think I might actually be able to make it. I should be getting a job over the summer, which should start around Mid-June. I'm sure if I asked my parents they would lend me some money and I have a few relatives in the London and Basingstoke area, so its all good~

So, put me on the list for now.
Title: Re: LONDON MEET 2008

At the moment put me down for a tentative yes, if you'll have me back. :P

If Mum lets me tag along with Alex and Rob, I -might- be allowed to come. Certainly hope so =]

You, my friend, are on >;3

Yes, I'm in. Since my birthday is the 17th July, on which I'll be 18, I assume I'm considered old enough to come on the 26th BY MY BIG GIRL SELF : DD!

Guys, follow that please. It's not too hard. It makes it easier to see who's coming and doesn't clog up the topic.

Are you allowed to say you'll probably come?

Post by: Joeno on May 14, 2008, 16:52
So in that case, is there actually a reason for you to post?

As said, people are actually signing up through this topic, and we need to keep track of that. Please move your "OMG I CAN'T COME" posts elsewhere, as they make my job more difficult, and mean that I need to use more time to keep track of stuff, time that I simply do not have.
Title: Re: LONDON MEET 2008
Post by: FaFniR on May 14, 2008, 19:43

Right right, sorry, Your Majesty.

Well, considering I'm more or less well-known on these forums, maybe friends of mine here were wondering whether I'd go or not? My above post was the confirmation. So there. I have a right to post.

This looks very interesting indeed. As tempting as it is, it doesn't look very likely I will be able to make it. But my Auntie and Uncle live down south and my family are scheduled to head down there for a few weeks. July the 26th might be a few days later after we initially leave and return back up home, but if I am in the mood I will stay with my Auntie and Uncle just so everything is easier a little more efficient if I do come to this. I will be 18 by then, which is always a bonus. The chances of me coming are fairly even as oppose to not being able to make it; which is why I have replied to this topic. Let's hope I can make it. ^_~

If you don't come, I'll kill you =D

But if you don't come, then I can't... But if you do, I won't need to...

I haven't really thought this through, have I?

Guys, do I need to remind you again about what sort of posts should and should not go in this topic?
Title: Re: LONDON MEET 2008
Post by: Regyba on June 16, 2008, 14:28
I can probably go. As long as I can get my mate Ashurii1992 to take me, then, yeah - I'm in. I've been waiting to turn sixteen for this moment. Thank heck for being a teenager on a Pokemon fansite. =D

Well, I'll probably see you there. If not, then boo. But I'll definitely try to come, since I live in London.

EDIT: I can come! Don't worry guys! I'll be there, but I can't stay for long. I can stay just long enough to meet and greet, then I gotta be back by... I forgot, I think it was nine. But I'll certainly be there.
Title: Re: LONDON MEET 2008
Post by: Joeno on July 04, 2008, 21:42
Ladies and gentlemen,

This is a reminder that you have less than two weeks to sign up. I believe everyone who fit our criteria and signed up has access to the secret forum with more information.

If you want to come, let us know now, decide soon.
Title: Re: LONDON MEET 2008
Post by: ginrei on July 04, 2008, 23:02
I suppose this would probably be the time then to confirm that due to various "baaaaw, poor me" family/hospital related woes, I need to sit this one out unfortunately. :/

Post by: Joeno on July 16, 2008, 17:52
This is a gentle reminder that you've got a few days left to sign up. You should be able to make any required arrangements by now, if you haven't yet. A "I'll do it later" no longer applies :)

Damn, once again a PKMN meet where I am turned away because of my age. Oh well at least this time I knew what to expect so I didn't bother the admins and just counted myself out. Hope soon we can have a meet where I can actually join in. I guess it's good I found out 5 days late as well because now I have no time to argue. Hope all who are going have fun. <3
