I'm looking for the details on Warpcon 2005.

Anyone any idea on twhenthe website will be updated.

Or on booking accomodation.

AL][EN · 09-12-2004 03:14PM

you can try the 2004 site first

http://www.warpcon.com/

To my knowledge they havent actually updated the site for 2005 yet. but you can find all the contact details Email addresses and accomidation you need there.

Or (at the risk of getting pelted with over riped melons) you can try

[HTML]http://www.diddlysquat.ie/[/HTML] for updates the site has a list of cons for the whole of next year

Plugalisious!

I'm goign to put up details in a bit, as soon as my flatmate (who's running it) comes home.

Normally I get some info up earlier in the year, sorry guys!

Specky · 09-12-2004 10:41PM

Yes, pleeeaaaase put up some info. Diddlysquat have got a bunch of special events we're planning for Warpcon the details of which we'll be announcing soon (actually I gave a brief outline of what we'll be doing yesterday on the website

You know, in all seriousness, everyone really ought to visit Diddlysquat at least once a day. I've been reliably informed that doing so can actually reduce cholesterol in seven out of ten people. We're not sure what happened to the other three but I'm sure it wasn't anything too bad....

*shakes fist*

actually with some clever planning and subitle modification this thread has now become the official warpcon2005 thread

[and no one even noticed]

Nevyn · 14-12-2004 07:52PM

hopefully the site will be up dated soon so we can gaze at the post xmas delights that will await us if we survive the festive season with our familys.

brass · 16-12-2004 01:07PM

Harump, I plan ahead, this is most distressing.

Nevyn · 16-12-2004 01:23PM

Nevyn · 22-12-2004 04:25PM

We understand that you guys have your own lives honest we do ?
just for a lot of us the webby is the only way to get info .
did notice also that the UCC US soc pages states tht the warps soc is closed

nesf · 25-12-2004 11:56AM

It does??? Ah well the soc's page is always messed up though, to be honest.

Bastun · 03-01-2005 10:07PM

According to a message posted by Noted Industry Figure (non-collectible!) Gar Hanrahan to the Igaming list today, the deadline for receipt of accommodation booking forms for Warpcon has been extended to January 12th.

Cheers,

Bastun

Sarky · 08-01-2005 10:13PM

Yay, Our illustrious leader in Galway is organising an expedition! Goe team college subsidising!

I shall no doubt see many of you there.

Specky · 09-01-2005 01:17PM

Except those of us wearing Suits Of Invisibility....or Socks Of See-Througheeness....or Underpants of Ignorance.....

Sarky · 09-01-2005 08:23PM

I suspect I shall eventually drink enough to see anything invisible. As well as several things that just aren't there.

And that's before the bar opens...

pff any good D&D player knows all you need to detect invisible creatures ia small bag of flour taken from the groups cooking supplies and strewn about the place.
The falling particles will show any movent and after they have fallen any disturbance or tracks can been seen on the flour coated floor. Simple

I can assure you Gar would shudder at the thought of there being a CCG card about him!

Just came back from one of his roleplays

It's handy having our very own NIF here in cork ot entertain us!
