From the station it's around a 20 minute walk.I live around 15 mins from the station and wouldn't mind meeting yous at the station if you want.Don't want you to feel like you're being baysat though!

I haven't bought the tickets yet! Waiting to hear from kiki

@blag: yeah that could be handy

Monkeyto

I think we're on D as well so thankfully we won't be too spread out over the train.

My seating area of the train will consist of:

Monkeyto
HMUYA
Ivan

It's great to see a bunch of us going.

Placebo

im 90% coming, il sleep on it

K.O.Kiki

@animax: yeah, if you could order those tickets that would be dead handy! LOL, I thought we could just go to the station & hop on :rolleyes:

animaX

There must be a problem with the irish rail website, i've tried 4 times to book seats with two different lazer cards and a credit card and each time it didn't work :mad:

I'll try again in an hour

Dreddybajs

I've broken my toe and I'm not really up for the trip (can't even put shoes on at the moment), sorry lads, GL and HF!

Kirby

Football? Or did you throw your stick at your foot in a fit of rage? :P

Dreddybajs

I saw Gootecks on the street and asked him how his stick was doing after he destroyed it at Evo and he raged out, picked up a landrover parked nearby, and threw it at me! Managed to get mostly out of the way but my left little toe got caught.

That or I may have stubbed it against a wardrobe. :pac:

Xinkai

So is ANYBODY going up in time for BlazBlue? If not Blag can u meet me and Critius at the train station at 12? Or put BB off for a while so i can 1.take part as this is the one game i'm actually gonna try win :P and 2.Travel with everyone else? A quick reply would be amazing. :P

Dreddybajs

I doubt they're gonna hold off on a tournament for one player man.

What browser are you using?

The website got updated recently and seems to have issues with anything that isn't Internet Explorer.

animaX

Actually, I got it sorted just now! It was a problem on their side. So I have booked 4 seats for myself, chopper, Kiki and the witch. Train departs conolly at 11 on saturday so lets meet there at half ten say. We have return tickets for the last train home at 10 past 8. See you then guys!

@Mr_Kyle: you can add another 3 to the list!

randomchild

I will talk it over with my mate tonight. I would be up for the BB tournament though...

Prize Update
The cash prize allocated from the prize pot for a given game is no longer a viable prize due to the Student Unions rules on gambling. The cash prize will now become vouchers for Gamestop rounded to the nearest £5 / £10.

That's unfortunate. Stupid Students Union!

***IF*** the lads from down South were to win, what would be the story with their prize? Sell it to someone from the North / a quick trip to town?

Azza

How do they classify a competition as gambling?

Sabre0001

Thought the same thing myself Azza but then looked at definitions.

"the act of playing for stakes in the hope of winning (including the payment of a price for a chance to win a prize)"

mr_kyle

It is a bit of a kick in the B@lls :mad: The now voucher prize wont be able to be given out until after the event anyway. Game do redeemable online vouchers, so would sort one of the guys from the South out that way. Its not ideal but its the best I can do in this situation.

K.O.Kiki

You're assuming we win

oh rly? Just posting up the prize scenario if any of you do! :P

Creature

Well will reps from the SU be eyeballing you to make sure you don't "gamble"? Can you not just hand over the cash on the sly or just do it in the pub or something

I would assume it gets lumped together if it is in the "games" society, used to happen to me in Maynooth.

K.O.Kiki

What about money matches?

Or a North-South 5v5 (I'm slightly more serious about that one)

I'd be up for getting something like that going, money prob won't happen due to reasons already stated.

Doctor DooM

I can't go anyway... Gluck with it and give em hell.


(This goes for both sides of the potential 5 v 5)
