Merry christmas :xtree .I think you can count me in,if the convention would be in Paris i come whit my family
Greetings Marcus
Put me down as maybe, because my wife just booked a holiday of a lifetime in Disney World in Florida!
stevie :O
My friend went to the one in Amsterdam in 2011 and said it was great! I've been meaning to visit him next year as he's just moved to Amsterdam, so if we had it there I could drag him along too.
Paris you say? might be down for that.
I might hop in as well. A shame that i didnt know abput these events earlier, especially the one in 2012 in frankfurt Oo
Okay, so June to July is favored.
Places?
I haven't listed those who're okay with every location (i.e. like me or Mad-Ice). How about those people being unsure in the first place? Does this list help you making a decision?
- Paris, FR: we yet would have to find someone who could manage a convention there. I have my doubts about that, but would join in.
= 2 potential contenders: terra-wrists, Kappeskopp!- Amsterdam, NL: that could be halfway managed by Mad-Ice as he's living in the suburban area. We never had a room/apartment for doing HD races there; even Heerhugowaard we were short on monitors.
= 3 potential contenders: Varsh, stinkleroy, Red_Ricky- Frankfurt, DE: well, I have the apartment for doing HD races (those who joined 2009 and 2012: my new apartment is bigger) and could provide retro gaming as well (PS2, PSX along with NegCon, Saturn).
= 5 potential contenders: xI-eI2aiiZZa-Ix, Flint Fandango, Rennfisch, Jonny, zero3growlithe
I'm fine with all of them as well :p
Amsterdam is closer, but the other 2 will just be a 4 hour drive i guess, just gotta turn some music on and gooooo :D
I could probably bring 1 TV along, 1PS3 Console, a PS Vita TV with 2048, 3 controllers (2 of which have some air brake button problems tho), could bring my JBL Creature II Speakers as well (works fine for a normal sized room) if requested, works with a simple 3.5mm jack, so iPods, Laptops,... should all be connectable ^^
Also bringing my camera/tripod along for filming/pictures ^^
As for time, preferably near the end of June or later, as early June i'm probably still having exams ;)
(And preferable not end july either, because i'll have to prepare for my exchange program starting in August)
But in the end it depends what works best for the others ;)
Cipher
Im good with all of them, but I know my way around Amsterdam better. Also, depending on when it is, I may already be over there. Can just extend my stay. Im over for Defqon1, I could travel from that if its not during it.
I'm also interested. Amsterdam would be the easiest for me. I could bring my debug PS3 and we could have a little competition who will reach the highest zone in the original epileptic zone mode, if there is any interest. I have the preview version from March 2008. I also have a super early demo from Leipzig 2007. Could be interesting perhaps. July suits me best.
Now this is clearly something I'm damn interested in to see! I remember a short demo video of previous zone visuals. The idea of having a zone competition under these condition also sound good to me - now isn't that thrilling everyone to come along?Quote:

Hell, even my balcony is long enough for 4 more dudes who want to sleep outside. ;)
Haha, balcony camping? i'm down for that XD
I could bring an inflatable mattress as well (maybe multiple if requested) ^^
That's assuming Frankfurt works for everyone though, maybe we should put up a poll?
@Multibody How'd you get ahold of those? And i'm curious, i have the Wipeout HD Press Kit, does that one have the pre-release zone mode as well? (I've been searching for an affordable debug PS3, but have been unlucky so far, haven't been able to try it yet), Definitely interested in seeing these though!
Cipher
No, the press kit contains the final version of Wipeout HD.
This preview disc on the other hand contains 8 ships, 4 tracks and original zone mode. It only works on a debug unit.

Aah i see, thanks for the heads up, were they handed out at a convention or are they insider thingies or something? Never actually seen the demo nor preview version anywhere o_O
(The attachment system failed you by the way :p )
Cipher
^^ I think I was able to insert a picture now...
Totally going off topic, but whoaaaa!!!! How'd you get ahold of that!! So jellyyyyyyyyy!! XD
Majestic little piece there x)
Cipher
Hello everyone, sorry but it turns an idea and I have to draw something .. something funny :)
Attachment 9915
For the Amsterdam one I'll most likely be staying at my friend's place, though I'll certainly be able to bring my Vita and PS TV, they're small enough so no problem there. ;)
June/July sounds like a good time, I'll have to see whether my friend has any plans or not.
Awesome Fabione! :)
Great one! :lol FEISAR surely knows how to draw attention away from their not-so-great craft to boobs in action.
I'm unable to identify all the players, but in doubt I'm the one just missing the best part. ;)
Alright, the date is set for this year's convention:
from 2016-07-21 (Thursday) to 2016-07-24 (Sunday)
in Frankfurt am Main (and Bad Soden), Germany.
Please visit http://web189.102.hosttech.eu/w8/index.php?t=state - I updated everything (i.e. the hostel prices are the most recent ones). The main reason to visit that website is to keep track of the Status page, where we see who's coming and who not. And who's indecisive. It also helps organizing in who brings what.
I am prepared to rearrange my schedule for this! It's a really exciting concept!! I'd love to be able to attend
Updated my status on the site ^^
Will most likely be there!
Cipher
Great - so far we have 3,75 contenders (me, MAD, DreamerX and "almost sure" Cipher).
I promise: no matter how many we will be in the end - so far every convention was fun and worth the visit. :)
Gonna be there for sure :)
I can bring for sure
1 ps3
1 tv
1 19 inch monitor
I can bring most likely when needed
2 extra ps3's
2 extra 19 inch or so monitors
Can you please enter/update it on the site? It's far easier to maintain. And to compare to/for others.
Ha, came here to copy paste my text to the site, and there you are asking me to the same thing ;)
Looking good so far. Right now we have all the equipment that we need for those who attend. Let's just see who else will join in.
Thanks to all who're willing to bring the stuff already. :+
I wish I could have made it, I would have brought some of my Feisar models with me, but I'll still be in Australia then...
Have fun :)
Oh Dear... last time I went to Frankfurt is such a bad memory... I will try to make it, add 0.5 Mickael :)
There's absolutely no chance you pull off that stunt a second time. ;)
This seems like a good date. I will just say to try n throw my hat in this. But include and see if some of the guys here on the east coast can join in.
Travis, ben, eric, and bribe Al's wife to let him go.
So far 3 people set up their status on the website. I'm pretty positive MAD is coming as well - I will call him these days to see why he's not reacting anymore.
Cipher, DreamerX, Lsdre86, Rennfisch + friend seem to join by now. (I still have to phone Mad but think he'll come.)
However, nobody so far ever wanted to make me a reservation in the hostel in Frankfurt (or elsewhere). My new apartment has space for 7 people on a rather hard floor - in theory you can all sleep for free, except that I only have 1 sleeping bag and 2 blankets I can give. Of course, everybody can take care of it himself, but reserving one room for i.e. 4 or 6 people in advance then also means you don't have to expect foreigners in there...
I am here! Been away again :) anyway. I am so sure to be there. I hope more people will join. It will be a party anyway 🎉 🍻 🎈

To avoid a misunderstanding, the friend of Rennfisch is actually me. ;) So there´s another WOZ-Member on the list!
@Mad: Nice to see you back - thought something bad has happened. And I'm glad it's not the case. :)
@Flint: Sorry, I wasn't aware of your name. Or forgot it after years again. ;)
That makes us 7 altogether (including me). Eating and drinking is no problem: we can go to (not expensive or even self service) restaurants, call for our food, or make it on our own. Several supermarkets are within the range of 1,5 km being open until 22:00 on Saturday, and gas pumps with shops as well in case you need something on Sunday (or in the night). I think almost everybody arrives by car, right? Except for DreamerX, who might use the plane (unless he insists on coming on his own it'd be nice if one of you catches him with me at the airport by car).
I'll send you all a PM with my address. In case you don't have a navigation system please say so and I can give you route instructions. Or ask maps.google instead. ;)
I've been to Frankfurt Airport before so i don't mind picking him up with you when he arrives ;-)
I don't mind cooking either if people want to keep it on the cheap side, as long as someone else does the dishes, hate that part :p
Great to see you Renn, hope you've been well! :)
