I'm still in of course. Yay! It's happening again :)
@AmigoJack: Is it possible to reserve one sleeping place on your floor? Just in case :)
@Cipher: Thanks for willing to pick me up from the airport. I still not decided whether to go by car or by plane, but when coming by plane it would be nice - I will contact you later ok?
Sure thing, just let us know and we'll come pick you up ;-)
Cipher
Dear amigojack, can l also reserve a spot at your place? Got some financial setbacks. I will bring beer and food to compensate :p
Cipher aka Alex, DreamerX, Lsdre86 aka J.666, Mad-Ice, Rennfisch, Flint = 6 campers (my site only reflects 4 of you currently, as 2 of you haven't set their status to green). There's enough space on the floor for each of you, and even more people. Don't forget: I'm the only one having a bed and can only hand out 2,5 spare blankets. And since I have no carpets you have to be prepared for a hard floor. Hardfloor. :)
Why don't you live in Austria? :(
hey, if its going to happen in Frankfurt, i can show up most likely. well if i can get some vacation days that is xD
i can bring:
- 2 ps3s with wipEout HD/Fury + 2 ds3s
- 1 vita with 2048 + pure + pulse
- 1 vita TV with 2048 for BIG screen glory
- 1 ps4 + 1 DS4 (there's no awesome games on it yet, so It'll stay @ home most likely)
- 1 pc gaming monitor with awesome refresh capability
Great - of course you're welcome as well! In doubt you can even show up spontaneously. Do you bring something to sleep on, or do you prefer a hostel or even hotel?
We've decided we're too old to sleep on the floor, so we would rather prefer a hostel or hotel. Do you know something nice near by?
Hotel: Ramada Bad Soden is literally around the corner with good beds. Other hotels are here as well, but they're more expensive and mostly have worse reviews - can't suggest those.
Hostel: Five Elements Frankfurt still exists - it'd be a good 30 minutes ride from there to my apartment by metro. Car should be faster. Definitly less expensive and by now they also have 2 bed rooms.
Thank you, AmigoJack! :)
We´ve booked a room at the Five Elements. If someone else is planning to stay there overnight, we could arrange a carpool.
See you soon, we´re psyched! :hyper
Good to hear. :) Everything here is set to go. Based on this thread's and my site's activity I don't expect more people to come. But since a couple of TVs are brought we can make a "professional" contest like in the old days again. Can you believe it's already more than 9 years since we met first?
I did say month a so ago. About coming thru. It may be possible. I asked everyone I know in the State's. They said it would be a next year thing. Travis, Eric, Ben, n try to bribe AL Sartwells wife to let him go in a summer time. But I have started a second job n haven't gotten clearance back yet. From the medical job I work for. To have at least 5 straight days off. If anybody thought I was jiving (lie) no.but working two jobs had been funny. N I did practice on the consoles. I'm rusty as F....!
10 days to go!! *drum rolls* \o/
Everything is up and set, especially things that you might never had the chance to experience before:
- NegCon controller for Wip3out and W3SE (and 2097 for PSX if dreamerx brings his copy)
- WipEout and WipEout 2097 for Sega Saturn (hitting the wall won't stop and flip your craft)
- BallisticNG, both versions 0.1 and 0.4 (successfully imported WipEout and 2097 crafts).
- (if anyone brings an N64 we could play WipEout 64)
Current weather forecasts are 22 to 26 °C.
Those who're coming on Thursday already: can you give me a loose time of arrival? I can manage to be here at 16:00 without problems, but an earlier time would also be possible.
Will be there between 16:00 and 18:00 l will bring 2 pizzaquiches.. Will share with everybody who likes pizza and quiche 😀
Hi all,
Finally I am having the right feeling to post here again. It has been a rollercoaster here. Family and work have been so busy. The school where I have been working for 11 years is closed now forever. There is a new rule from the gouvernement that is called: fitting education. I worked with children with special needs. Coming school year all the children with special needs will just stay in regular schools. We will see, what the future will bring for them and the schools?!
I am very happy to have found a new job. It was very tough this last year and emotional to say goodbye to the children, colleagues and building.
Today I feel free and there is room for new things, especially meeting you all. I am so looking forward to this.
See you all Thursday :)
Greetz Mad-Ice
Bohh dutch politics :/
Cya all in 3 days :D
Checked my equipment and everything is working so far:I'm in no shape at all. Caught LsDre and Mad online 2 hours ago after not having played HD for ...2 years or even longer - just wanted to check everything is still working. Need to revisit all the tracks to get a feeling again at least on that game.
- Saturn with both WipEouts,
- PS2 with W3SE and NegCon,
- PS3 with HD/Fury online, and
- PSP with Pure and Pulse. (in that order)
@DreamerX: give a time and place of your arrival and we'll pick you up.
Thanks for the races yesterday: LsDre86, Red_Ricky_ and Thorinx. Last week I came across LsDre86 too and we had some races. For me it was two years ago that I played HD / Fury too. Rusty as can be, yesterday I was slowly getting warm, the slower speed classes are very difficult for me in my Ag-systems, so swichted to Icaras, that was so much better. When we finally sped up to phantom I felt more comfortable and could give a better fight.
I talked to LsDre86 and Cipher and they are coming around 16:00 hours at your place AmigoJack.
Red_Ricky_ is not able to come and I also text a message to the mobile phonenumber of Dreamerx, but he did not reply yet.
Only two nights now :)
Guys, I'm extremely sorry. Unfortunately I'm unable to go this time. Sorry for telling you this so late. For the last moment I thought I will be able to make it somehow. There are few things that are blocking me. I'm unable to take Thursday and Friday off at work... also money are also the issue. I've had few unplanned expenses during last few months and I need to save...
@Mad-Ice I've changed mobile phone number around 3 years ago and I didn't recieved your message - sorry :(
Have a great time during convention guys :)
Gnah, too bad you can't come. But now we know, that's good as well.
Then everybody will arrive by car, and everybody will be here on thursday already. Sounds like the smallest convention ever, but we seem to even get one TV per player (LsDre, Cipher, Mad, Rennfisch, me... that just leaves i.e. Flint without TV - I have an analogue TV, but the HD/Fury display is stretched thru it, as if you'd stretch 16:10 to 4:3). But as right now we also have one PS3 less than persons it fits again. However: LsDre wrote he could also bring additional PS3s and TVs, so if Rennfisch/Flint are two persons bringing only 1 TV and 1 PS3 but want to play both, then we could solve this easily using arithmetics. ;)
Cipher's additional router is important, as we need an additional one. And whoever got it: a LAN cable is never wrong to bring.
As I said to others: if you're nearing my house and you spot a chance to park your car on the lane: do it. It should relax a bit during the weekend, tho, and you don't have to pay anywhere. I said "lane" because all parking spots off the street are private ones, which is usually also indicated as such. At least one spot is free directly near the entrance of my house - first come first serve. Either call me when you're in front of the house or just ring the bell.
hey amigo, could you plz pm me your exact address, it seems to be that i get my free days. i could attend on thursday, and bring ps4, ps3 x2, pstv x2, psvita and monitor and ethernet cable...
when is the best time to arive? 16.00? or earlier or later
Special greeting to all the boys of "FRANKFURT" meeting and fun for everyone :D UP :+
@Dreamerx: that's too bad. Now you have make sure you will be there next year. Take care matey.
@JFthebestJan: great that you are going to attend. Looking forward to meet you.
Greetz Mad-Ice
Since jan brings 2 tv's and an extra ps3 is it needed for me to bring additional tv's/ps3?
at j.666: i bring just one pc monitor, sry.
- ps3 x2
- pstv x2
- psvita x1
- ps4 x1
- LAN cable x1
Ahh ok, just called my bro for that extra ps3 but he's in france atm with no spare key somewhere around me, so the extra ps3 is off. I can however bring an extra monitor. Not a very big one 22 inch. Cya all tommorow :)
@Jan: Sent my address. :)
@Dre: Since neither Rennfisch nor Flint replied just decide on your own. I mean: just do what you're able and what you want to do. I guess we have to make 2 division either way, and that would not require a TV for everyone in parallel.
@all: I'll be there at 16:00 o'clock tomorrow, maybe even a bit earlier. That's because I'll directly come from work. I wonder if anyone will already wait and spot me. ;)
Hi everyone,
A small update: yesterday everybody arrived around 16:30. Apple-Guy-Cipher was the first to arrive and LsDre and I drove together from Utrecht, the Netherlands. Directly followed by Jfthebestjan, Rennfisch and Flint. We immediately had great fun getting to know eachother. Almost forgot to eat. Around 20:00 we arranged a nice set-up for the PS3's and screens. AmigoJack has a very nice appartement with enough room for everyone to game and sleep.
Wipeout HD Fury Tournament results from last night are:
Apple-Guy-Cipher 169
LsDre86 132
Mad-Ice 125
Jfthebestjan 119
AmigoJack 76
Rennfisch 41
Flint 23
So for the first night it already was great fun and fighty races. C y'all later, greetz Mad-Ice
Greetings to all participants ... All right Alex? :beer
Thanks DIXI200 :)
We are still having great fun here! Yesterday we were slowly waking up and went to the city centre of Frankfurt. Walked around in the city and along the river. Then we went to AmigoJack's place to practise some Pure. Afterwards we went to a nice Thai restaurant and had a very nice meal.
Then the Tournament of Pure started and Dre, Rennfisch and Flint agreed on Flash for their own tournament. Apple-Guy-Cipher, Jfthebestjan, AmigoJack and I went for phantom. All 28 tracks in ad-hoc mode. Crazy races with so much fun.
Results:
Mad-Ice 224
AmigoJack 131
Apple-Guy-Cipher 129
Jfthebestjan 114
Flint 64
Rennfisch 54
LsDre 42
So for the averages I divided all the points from HD/FURY by 24 and all the points from Pure by 28. This way you will get an honest balance between games. This will give you the average points per track per game which leads into the following results:
Mad-Ice 13,21
Apple-Guy-Cipher 11,65
Jfthebestjan 9,03
AmigoJack 7,85
LsDre 7
Rennfisch 3,64
Flint 3,25
More updates later. Now we are going out for dinner and will be back for the Pulse Tournament tonight.
Greetz Mad-Ice
FYI; WipeoutCon is AWESOOOOMMMEEEE!!! :rock :rock :rock
It so is Cipher :)
Yesterday we stayed around the appartement. We only went out in the morning for coffee and bread and in the evening for a nice Italian meal.
We talked and played PS1 Wipeout, trained some Pulse for the tournament and some HD/FURY because we can ;)
For the tournament we met Jfthebestjan via ad-hoc party PS3 to connect our Psps. The Pulse warm-up races started very intense with some weapons off races on Talons Junction White. So close with Jfthebestjan, Apple-Guy-Cipher, AmigoJack and I. Finally Jfthebestjan got the fastest time in the qualification, well done Jfthebestjan.
Rennfisch, Flint and LsDre agreed on doing the Pulse tournament in Flash speed class, because they had so much fun with Flash in Pure too. Rennfisch kicked both men in Pulse, well done Rennfisch.
Results from last night Pulse tournament :
Mad-Ice 186
Jfthebestjan 145
AmigoJack 103
Apple-Guy-Cipher 95
Rennfisch 65
LsDre 41
Flint 37
The Final results of this year's EWC consist of HD/FURY, PURE and PULSE are:
Mad-Ice 20,96
Apple-Guy-Cipher 15,61
Jfthebestjan 15,07
AmigoJack 12,14
LsDre 8,71
Rennfisch 6,35
Flint 4,79
Thank you all for being here in Frankfurt and thanks to everyone who has been following this thread.
Greetz Mad-Ice
Hope everyone got home safe! :)
A big thanks to our host AmigoJack for allowing us to stay at his apartment and organising everything together with Mad-Ice!!
Also thank you everyone who was there, i had a really great time, was a blast!! Miss you guys already :D
Best Event Ever!!!
Finally we also arrived at home after nearly 4 hours driving. The traffic jam was killing me!
It was a great convention, hope to see you next year! :g
Yes, we finally arrived!
First of all, I want to thank AmigoJack for providing his apartment and all the management during the convention!
The convention itself was great fun and I was really delighted to have met all the participants in real life. All of you are amiable people and great contenders as well! :)
We had a lot of fun together, so I hope we can get up another convention in the future! :+
