Ladies, gentlemen, and those undecided.
Apparently it's Summer! Which of course means it is time for the real, official, actual, definite announcement for the third PKMN.NET official meet!
Where? London, of course.
When? Saturday 8th August.
How can I be there? 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.
Exact times and locations will be decided in private, and we'll post further details on how to register in the coming weeks when we've finalised our own arrangements. And here's something we wish to make clear: if you're going to walk off and do something by yourself, it's your own responsibility to find the group again. We're not waiting around for anybody.
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 aren't negotiable either.
(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).

Woop!
I will almost certainly be attending this year.. it's all very exciting :D
Glad to hear this has been confirmed, guys =]
-
I guess that I am gonna have to go... although I'm not gonna like it ¬¬
(jk, should be fun times had by all and sundry ^^)
-
I'm not interested in this.
-
Argh.... I hate you.... ¬.¬
That's like, the only day I'm busy for weeks.... *Dies*
Meh. I might try and 'pull a few strings', but it's likely I cannot make it. D=
[I don't actually blame/hate you, but it's darn frustrating that this happens to me every year *Really wants to go* ]
-
Gah 16 or over. D:
I guess it's for legal reasons. -_-
-
lol by the time I am 16 I would've been on the site for almost a decade.
Like... 9 years and like 8 months.
o.o
Oh well I'll be there in spirit form... if the tree starts talking to you it won't be me though. I like rocks. <3
Enjoy yourselves <3
-
You know I'll be there. First to arrive, last to leave etc...
-
I would go, but I'm only 13. D=
-
Fun fact: It's a day before my birthday :0
-
I'm not interested in this.
Then why post? =S
As I've already said Mike, I'll let you know whether I can attend as soon as I know.
-
Woop!

You said this last time and did I see my Kaybbage!? No. ;;
This falls on the day I come back from my holiday, and I'm not if this Saturday is booked off...a little blackmail and I should get it off. ^^;
-
I may or may not attend. I'm filling my post here so I can update this when I can sort out some details. Believe me, though, I want to go more than anything. Just there is certain limitations in travel, MONAY, etc.
-
I cant go to one for another 3 years :'(
Hope you have Fun...Killing each others pokemon and Accusing people of Hacking their Arceus..((Danged hackers...))
-

Try not to get mugged this time.
-
I have spoken with my parents, and they've said that I might be able to go, so hopefully...and as long as there isn't anything that comes up on that date. =D Though if anything comes up on that date...
*excitement*
-
I shall try and get the weekend off and attract the usual crowd ;]
If I can't get this day off, I'll have to just turn up for the afternoon, but I'll do my best!
-
ah well. I wish I could go, but I'll be happy with meeting inferna when I go to scotland.
Only one more year to wait though =D
-
I may go this year, but I'm not sure yet. Need to look at transport and stuff.
Oh ... I just double checked the date on my calendar and I'm actually on holiday =P I thought I was on holiday later on in August. Oh well, if there is a meet next year I will hopefully be able to go to that one.
-
I want to go! Too bad it's like a couple thousand miles away. And I can't afford a plane ticket to England right now, or a hotel...and I can't legally rent a car yet =<
-
I don't think I have anything planned for then, so you can put me down for that. No one let me opt to take slow people off on a walk... (I really did not see what should have taken 15-20 mins at most turning into what it did)
-
Shame I'm waaaaay to young, but I'm not blaming anyone for that. Roll on, 2012.
-
I'll be along of course.
-
I shall try and get the weekend off and attract the usual crowd ;]
Well... if Lotties encouraging her fanclub to come along I must follow!
Anywho, my Mummy and Daddy are rather keen to get me out of the house, so I really don't see them having a problem with me going down to that London, but I'll ask to make sure. I'll do whatever I can to get there. Construction on my wodden car with square wheels has started, hopefully it will be ready in time for the meet!
-
Dad hasn't a problem, but we're heading off to Paris and I think Lozere subsequently in the last week of July and returning in the first week of August...so whether or not I'm able to go is still under thoughts. We haven't booked yet, so things are still "fluid", as dad put it.

Make sure you tell me as soon as possible if you can make it or not. :/
-

NO, I think I'll never tell you anything ever AGAIN! Ha ha ha ha ha.
Don't worry. I will.

I almost cried then!
Okay! ^^
-
*Sigh* I wanna come... but I'm in South Africa from July 31st 'til the end of August.. not that I'm complaining, or anything ^^,
-
Got the A-OK from mum. I'll be back in England for sometime round a week before the meet, so I can go.
Now to discuss with Alex and Leon about travel arrangements. I assume Ms. Kay is accompanying Alex.

Hmmm, this gives us something to talk about tomorrow!
I think Kay will be going with Alex.
We'll have to discuss this, don't let me forget!

Urrrrgh...
Even if I WAS 16...I still somewhat doubt the gods of the house would allow me to gallavant all the way from Scotland to London...
This meet needs moar Edinburgh/Glasgow ;D
-
I'm sure all three of you would enjoy that. :P
-
Aww, I'd love to be there... if it were in driving distance of Illinois... need to start work on that water-car... I shall call it a boat!
-

You can always rely on my car with square wheels!
I've also hired a Flinstone for the occasion!
-
I'm not 16, but my parents would allow me to go, I've been out on my own in similar situations if not more dangerous. I'm sure I can handle myself. I understand if you still won't allow me to go, but I am appealing that I should be allowed to go as I believe I am responsible enough.
Enough not to be hit by another car >_>
-
It's confirmed... I will be going to the meet!
-Tumbleweed-
Anyway, I'm excited for the meet and really can't wait to see many Pkmn.net members in the flesh! xD
-
We have to draw a line somewhere, and we're honestly not interested in looking around for all sorts of exceptions. Even if you say you can take care of yourself, we are still given an amount of responsibility we don't want - and yes, that can very likely extend to us legally as well. And you don't even actively have to work towards something to happen, it can be completely accidental and still mess us up.
We have to set a limit somewhere, it's 16, and if we would allow all sorts of exceptions for it, the limit becomes meaningless.

Why can't there be an American PKMN.NET meet?!
OK, fine; I'll organize my own. Everyone come to my house next month; the beer is free! 8D
-
Why can't there be an American PKMN.NET meet?!
Because its unrealistic...I mean...if you compare America to the UK...1. How on earth would the site plan where the meet will take place... 2. How many people would travel half way across America to meet a group of people for a day....not many... =p

I think the point that Latias Tamer is trying to put across is that because the majority of the administrators and moderators live in the UK, Jeroen aside, then it makes sense to have the meet in the UK. Not only that, the meet is made possible by the admins being in London at a certain time, hence rather than them spend even more money, they say "Look, we're here, if you want an official meeting then fair enough". Asking for them to fly halfway across the world to host an official meet is not plausible, unfortunately.
-
It turns out that i should be able to go this time, provided my flight from Greece isn't delayed by like... a day. As bad as Thomas Cook are, i should be okay to come provided the info about meeting times and places comes out soon so i can sort train tickets out and so on =]

b) that handsome devil was making a joke

b) What Latias Tamer said.
-
I may like to go ^^. I'll give my parents an ask, even though I am being a big girl next Thursday xD. But still, I think they'd appreciate it if I asked.

Why wasn't I informed?

His point seemed more along the lines of "America is a damned big place, England is a damned small place."

Do you really, really want to turn this topic sour by having a huge list of posts full of arguing why the admins won't move from the meet being based in London, when they won't really, and why they don't really want moaning about it as a result? =/ Look, at the end of the day, joking comment or not, every point is valid and only furthers the point why the admins and co won't shift from London.
What's the point anyway of this? Scoring points, is that it? =/
Bleh.

Muhed, please pay for our holidays in the USA so we can organise meets ktnx.
Until then, while we pay for going over and all of that out of our own pockets, we'll do it where it's most convenient for us.
If you want that different, then put your money where your mouth is. Literally.
Unless you are willing to offer the money, I am now going to tell everyone to drop the "I wish the meet was somewhere else" chatter. We clearly and explicitly said we didn't want this. Not doing so is, quite obviously, ignoring members of staff, and will be dealt with as such an infraction.
-
As I'm not [or can't ._.] go, may I ask wether there will be videos, like the last one?
I found them really funny. x3

I don't think the one taken at the actual meet got uploaded for the 2008 meet, did it? Although, I should really be thankful, James asked me "Why am I cooler than you?", I misheard him as "Why am I taller than you?" and I replied "Because you're stood on a load of twigs ;;".
Yeahhh ^^;;

Joeno, if you read back, I said nothing about wanting it in a different place. I merely said that Rob was reiterating something Latias Tamer had previously said (from my viewpoint) and that the guy who originally suggested it was joking. You really think I lack common sense and go in and tell you to change the location to America with full intent of hoping it's true?

I hope they do, I wan to be one of those funny people in the background... like In creature Comforts, where the funniest stuff happens in the background.
It will probbaly be Winston Payne and I pretending to have an arguement.

Awww darn it, you have to be over 16 DX
May I ask why? or has it been answerd. *Runs away*

rawr.... I'll just go in 2015 instead D=

Coolio, well basically the situation is that family are thinking of going away for a holiday at the end of July/beginning of August, so as long as the meet doesn't happen to fall on the holidaying date I should be able to make it =]
Hope to see yus there!

Why have an official meet in London? How many people would spend hours in traffic to go meet a few people? Besides, I already stated that everyone's invited to my place; drinks on me. I think that's enough reason to travel across the world, don't you think?
Besides that, have you guys checked the weather? I'd hate for your parade to be rained on.

A few hours travel is different to a few days travel, or having to fly in.
People won't get stuck in traffic, you take the train into London.. this is also easier because it means some people can meet up at stations along the way.
I think we're all prefectly used to rain.. i know i'v dragged myself through hellish downpour for far less (coffee, actually.. and i didn't have a coat..)
I don't think anyones saying you can't invite people to your house.. but it won't be an official, or even affiliated meet, because the admins don't want to take responcibility for something they have nothing to do with. Don't want to be on the legal end of it.
I don't think its fair to have a go at people for not wanting to pick up the peices if your arranged meeting goes wrong.
Oh, and while i'm here.. no, i'm not going =P
-
Stop trying to be funny.
Humour is a punishable crime in some cultures, I understand (:
-
Dangit! I'm only....a certain age....and i'm allowed london...i was looking forward to it as well...dammit :(
-
i'd like to go to this! would be good to meet everyone.. even though I'm never here anymore, I reckon i'll remember the people who will be there
how would i sign up? not that i'm definately gonna go. need to make sure that I have the money first!
& I think i'm gonna appreciate the no under 16s rule ;]
-
I'll very likely be coming, as I always do. I can't be 100% about it at the minute, but I'm 80% sure I'll be there.
-

Surely if its a crime by definition its punishable? :P
MOOATYOU.
BTW - Not sure if I'm coming yet atm, sans employment and money right now.

You also want me to come =P
I'm probably not going to be able to make it, so far I have like £2 which is nowhere near enough. I'll try my best though guys.

You do have over a month to save up for it you know :P

-

I've got no way of getting money at the moment though. I'll try though, and even then, I need to get permission. Got to get the money first though. Going on the hunt for jobs at some point though, but it's hard to get one where I live.
And Rich, you only don't want me to come because you're jealous of my awesomeness.

Getting a job is hard everywhere Webbz. :/
Maybe you should save up for the 2034 meet up? :/
-
Don't worry, I will make sure I'l have enough for next year's meet, IF there is one.
-
I'm not going this year... I can't really afford to waste that much money on a train since I'm budgeting myself in preparation for Uni (every penny counts)... and with me not going, the chances of Webbz going, even if he had the money, is slim (he's never even gone to Birmingham alone, so I doubt he'll be allowed to London alone), but I might come next year. It depends on my situation, but it'll be much cheaper/easier next year.
EDIT:
Apparently Webbz has been to Birmingham alone. o.o
Still, my point still stands. He won't be allowed to go alone, even if he could afford it.
-
^ Yeah I have been to Birmingham to my own.
-
I'd love to go, but I doubt I'll be allowed...
It's a shame really, because I'll definitely have enough money for the train and such =/
-
Sign me up Mikey!
-
I think I've got pretty much everyone now. If you have applied and can make it, and have or have not posted, do so now. Some posts were a bit too ambigious to tell. Looking forward to seeing all of you (again)!
-
A-yup, I'm coming. London Londoness! =D
-
I might, might not. 50-50... depends who's definately going and how I am at the time (money and energy-wise). I'm working away from home so I'll just have to see how I am at the time... it's going to be a special effort on my part to travel to London on my day-off.
-
I know it kinda goes without saying... but I am a definate
-
Did I mention I'm coming btw?
-
fff u guise.
lower the age to 15 and then we'll have something to talk about |D
well, i guess if that's not possible, there's always next year for me :D
considering mother will let me go to meet some internet people.
also ~have fun those who are going~ :DDD
-
Who's going to obsess over ZQ with me? ;=;
-
well i'll be able to :D
...next year. maybe.
if my mum's feeling kind.
...maybe never then D:
-
I want to go. Alot. But alas, my dear friends, my age doesn't meet the limit.
Damn my parents >.>
-
Damn my parents >.>
How is it their fault?
-
Clearly for not having them sooner.
-
Humour is a punishable crime in some cultures, I understand (:
Best. Post. Ever.
I won't be coming. 3 more years. Just 3 more years. D;
-
Well I'm coming, I have permission of both parents and will see you guys then!
-
Hmm curses...
One damn year...
AND the fact I lost ALL my parent's trust xDD
I dont think they're willing to let me off the leash quite yet.
I may just hurt someone.
And next year will be a hell no =>
-
I hate the fact I'm an 11-year-old American now...
-
I must regrettably inform you that I am not going to attend the meet after all. My Grandmother and Cousin are visiting me on the week the meet is scheduled, and I feel, personally, that it would be impolite for me to not be present; they very rarely come up north, so I'd like to spend as much time as possible with them. Also, I'm not very confident concerning booking my own travelling arrangements (act of stupidity by myself leaving it so late), and I'll just have arrived back from France the week the meet is scheduled...so I'd like to "chill", one might put it. I know this will disappoint
my hordes of screaming fans a small group of like-minded individuals Rex, once again, I apologise. But remember; (hopefully), there's always next year.
I'll make Alex and/or Leon take a Photo of myself down with them, so you can talk/shout/physically attack that in my absence.
And I hope this hasn't inconvenienced anyone too much. If it has... D:

I'm afraid I won't becoming to the meet after all. I am currently due to go to Bristol in the weekend where I will be there for nearly two weeks. It is more expensive from Bristol than where I currently am.
:x looks like you have to go on without me gais. DON'T DESPAIR. You'll have a good time, even with the lack of Ledybas, law, and songs the Beatles have done that do not relate to the given situation.
-
Okay, final reminder. We'll be closing signups this Sunday so we can prepare. If you haven't signed up yet but wanted to, or need to check something before you do, do it now or it will be too late.
Come if you can and such. It's fun!
-
I'm not interested in this.
How could you! I'm interested but I sorta live in Scotland.
-
Two more years.

/wrist
Maybe someone could smuggle me under a large jumper or something, anyone up for it? :3
-
^The meet was yesterday. Too late for any smuggling now.
-
Well COME ON ya big bunch of grumpy London goers!! >o Tell us the gory details!!
-
Best day ever!
I got to London for 11:50 then wandered into Hyde Park, unfortunatly the others had decided to move or something to Kensington park. One hour of walking around later and Mike calls me asking me where I am. A futher 20 minutes to walk and find them and I get a warm welcoming from Connor (BoggeyPete, who apparently can't say his own user name : P), Xagor, Rex, Kat, Shark, Jeono, Mike, Kay, Alex, Leono, Peter and Rob. We had our "awards" (best couple etc) and then waffled on whilst I contacted Antony (Angelic Lapras King) whom had gotten lost.
Anyway innevitably we got everyone together ((except DanDan who never showed up)) and went and had lunch whilst Rob went off to fetch Lottie and her friends, soon after we all got lunch Rob appeared with Lottie, the Debbie's, Maxim and I think a girlf called Beth or Beck. After more talking and such we all went to the pub from where everyone gradually drifted away including myself. After an adventure that will never be mentioned again and will remain a little memory in my head I ended on getting to Sheffield at 3:23 (give or take).
So overall and amazing day and I intend to go again and take Lottie up on her offer of Poker at her house next week.
Qoute for the day
"There's nothing wrong with Vampire sex"
-
It was the Helen's xD and Laura, and Becky. And there was also the Russian Snap xD And poor Sharky forgetting to snap in xD
I was only there for the aftermeet, so it was pretty much just a chance to catch up with the guys :D
-
Ooops my bad XD.
GOD Russian Snap was amazing, I have my next door neighbours addicted to it and neither of them is under 60. Oh and we had 8 people playing it at once today Lottie. Poor Shark just couldn't grasp it after all those drinks. So what day am I coming to play poker then?
-
Haha whenever you want to ;]
And yeah, the more the merrier with Russian snap. We had 9 playing it at once before now, and it was VICIOUS.(And I could grasp it xD)
Also, have a picture from when I got there but after Kay and co had to leave =[

I'm the one in the blazer laughing at the others whilst the picture was taken...I wasn't prepared in the slightest.
Haha whenever you want to ;]
I'll take you up on that ;] How does thursday sound.
Oh and your invited like the others to come to mine on the first of september as my parents are going on a cruise on the 27th

The full irony of this statement is that I'm probably one of the closest to you, if not the closest and come September, will live in your city.

I must ask you to discuss the PKMN.NET meet and not your own individual meets in this topic, please take them to PM or such.

Of course sorry, but if one was to reply to Tooth it would be that he has more of a reason to come then. However If I were to argue back the point I would make is that it's intrinsically linked to the Meet as it only came around due to it, for instance if I were to say that everyone there was then invited to mine on the 1st of september it is both in keeping and fully within the boundaries of the topic. But I'm not.

I wish Alex, Leon and I had KNOWN we would miss our coach and would therefore have an extra two hours in London D:
I didn't want to leave! xD especially since Lottie had just arrived ;;
still it was superfun (: and that photo is brilliant xDD
-
Well I pretty much loved the day.
I was a bit concerned I'd hardly have anyone to talk to, as many of my friends from here didn't go apart from rex. <3 (Thank you for the Chimchar Plushie. :3)
My fears were soon turned into utter delight as I made really great friends with members I'd only seen in the forums but not talked with. There were so many times I could not talk because Kat had me in stitches, she doesn't think there's anything wrong with Vampire sex either. :/
Apart from the series of unfortunate events on the way back and Webbz not being there (He has no choice about coming to the next meet) I'd say it was a brilliant day, possibly one of the best in my life. :3

Re: deleted post.
No, seriously. I said don't bring it into this topic, for I said continue via PM which isn't hard to extent do "tell other people via PM as well", secondly its an unauthorised meet we don't really want to advertise, thirdly "I don't want to break a rule but".. is invalid. Its a rather thinly disguised way of getting around my order and its not workin'.
While I don't mind you organize it, but a meet we have no control over.. is not something we'd like you to use our services to arrange publically.
(Thank you for the Chimchar Plushie. :3)
No problem, just hope you don't mind the starberry milkshake all over it. P:
-
It's actually not that bad now, you can just smell it when you sniff it, it came out pretty well though. He's sat between Meowth and Poliwhirl. :3

Tim, Dan and Lottie ruined the awards :(

You should have had suits for the awards or bow ties.
Also... maybe envelopes for the winners?
-
No, Lottie's work ruined them. I'd have gone if I could get the morning off ;o
-
Mike I have the same Mr. Messy shirt as you!! o:
But smaller.
And a darker shad of blue.
Wut it's still Mr. Messy! D:
Glad you had a nice time everyone. :D
-
^Same
if 16's are allowed I could be allowed to go next year o.o whoa :O
-
Darn you children and your meetingness. D:
-waits 3 years-
Wait...16 right?
-

Meeting people from a forum is one of the best days of your life...? :o Wow, that is either really sad, or all the other days in your life have been nothing but torture. Then I'd understand. But I have a feeling it's the first one...
-
You mind telling us all whats so sad about actually wanting to meet up with friends?
-
Glad you all had a lovely time.
I'd like to go for the next meet (if there is one); but preferably I'd like to book my Train as early as possible to get t'cheapest fares. Book early!

What is so different to meeting people on a forum than meeting people in real life? He has spent a day of his life having a great time, talking to funny, friendly people. The only difference here is that there is the internet involved. It's certainly a memorable day. If meeting people like that is "sad", then I have to say that meeting any of your friends in real life is "sad".
And I find it hypocritical of you that you criticize a person for being a part of a forum WHILST being a member yourself. Ergo, by your own argument, YOU are also "sad".
Saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad.

Wow, aren't you raining on our parade.
I still can't understand why people think being on a forum is that sad, especially going to meet them whether it be for the first time, or with me and a certain couple of members, now in the double figures. You meet people who you never thought existed in terms of kindness, how much fun they are, I can go on.
It makes me laugh how people go and see people they met on holiday or such, yet when it's over a forum and when you've talked to them on MSN, IRC, AIM etc for years and years, it's ridiculed.

Not that you'd be welcome at such a meet until you drop the attitude problem Deoxys2, so what you think doesn't really matter in this instance anyway.
-
Deoxys2 you even wanted to meet up with me once lol.
Its not sad, its only considered sad cos its "different" and people dont like different things, imo.
-
I'm hoping to go next year if there is one.

It's getting your head around it that most people cannot seem to fathom. In a strange way, I've actually brought more of an acceptance of it in my social circle, and it's starting to expand as I know of two or three people who have started going to see people who they've known for a while via forums and the like. Not as much as I do, but it's a start. When I first went to meet someone off the internet, I was so nervous and unsure what to expect, but since then which was only.. 20 months ago, I've visited so many people it's quite amazing really.
I guess it's this entire "You don't know who you're meeting" that really makes people paranoid and through that ridicule it all. But if you know what you're doing and not meeting everyone who bats an eyelid at you online, it's fine. And what's funny is how many great people I've met through it. I've got friends all over the country, some 5 hours away, some just an hour away. Sure, I can't do things all the time with them, cinemas etc, but I've got other friends for that.
And Deoxys2, the surprise of finding so many people who are genuinely fantastic is what makes it such a great day.
I daresay the new people I met from here (Ben, Peter, Conor and Leon) was surprised at me. =P
-
Webbz not being there (He has no choice about coming to the next meet)
I honestly doubt he will make it next year. xD
He'll probably blow all his EMA and not be able to afford to go at all.
If I'm Northampton Uni next year, you can pretty much expect to see me tag along. =]
Since a train from Northampton won't be too much trouble. :3
-
Heh..
For the time being...I think I'll be avoiding the meets xD
I get lost in my own local town...never mind LONDON.
And I'd find it pretty awkward considering I've fallen out with quite a lot of members...and if they were there...oooh boy ^^;
I'll remain a hermit.
-

The Hagrid voice is what surprised me, 'tis like 4 various shades of awesome.
Was a great day if I do say so myself :D
-
The Hagrid voice Rocked.
The day was so fun and so many funny things happened (especially on the way back) that it will probably remembered for a long time.
I'd like to pick my own highlights from my life thank you very much. :3
-
...
The Hagrid voice?
;_;
Am I ever going to live that down? =[

Of course not. But why would you want to anyways :D
-
Of course not. But why would you want to anyways :D
I believe my response, not that anyone can understand what I say half the time anyway, was "Oh, it's alright, I say the words, we all laugh, Rex is in stitches, and I die a little inside". =]
:P
-
Would you rather be known as Hagrid or the worse dresser at the meet? :P
-

I'd rather I had a better choice dear :P
-
It could be worse Rob, you could support Leeds...
...Oh wait... =P
Anyways, it's good to see you had a great time, and it's making me even more jealous of not being able to go (despite naming a dog after me and Webby which was nice to hear). I'll try and get money for next year ^^
-
The meet was great, and there weren't too many people so it was all quite relaxed. Wish it had all lasted longer. I should be coming to the meet next year unless something comes up between now and then which I can't avoid.
I must say the people I hadn't met before did rather surprise me, but I guess that's part of the internet, you paint a mental picture of people you know but have never seen.
'There's Nothing Wrong With Vampire Sex.'

Haha whenever you want to ;]
And yeah, the more the merrier with Russian snap. We had 9 playing it at once before now, and it was VICIOUS.(And I could grasp it xD)
Also, have a picture from when I got there but after Kay and co had to leave =[

To be fair, her bite's worse than her bark.

Yeah... maybe I could spend more than fifteen minutes with you. :)

2. How many people would travel half way across America to meet a group of people for a day....not many... =p
Hey I want to travel half way across the world to attend the pkmn.net meet...well actually I would probably make it an entire trip throughout england, but the meet would be something I would include in my agenda. ;P
We could have a California pkmn.net meet :D there's enough Californians on this site imo. im joking, im joking xP
