    Hi guys! Sorry for not filling doodle and being quiet, I'm still in but it's hard for me to fulfill doodle page to be honest, I'm available for majority of weekends for the next 3 months but cannot guarantee my presence on the convention for 100% - sometimes I have to work during weekends (rare case... but still), on the other hand I don't have plans for holidays during next 3 months so I should be there if convention will happen this year.

    Cheers!

    I would be glad to go.

    This is funny but my girl im talking to. She trying to convince me not to travel over seas. Mainly because the Ukraine, ebola, and of course I wouldn't be flying with Malaysia Air.

    If this still gets up for going. Even if it was a specialized wipeout thing and Christmas. And Mad Ice and Al and Asay would pay for everyone's gifts who showed up.

    Just dropping by on one of my rare visits to this site these days. I'd really like to attend to another EWC and I think that if it is held in Frankfurt this year I might be able to attend for one single day. I would arrive in Frankfurt at either a saturday or a sunday in the morning and leave the same day in the evening and I'd take my little daughter with me. Thus I won't have not much time for participating in any tournaments. I am in Hamburg on 2014-10-18 and 2014-10-19, so I won't be able to attend an EWC at this date, but any other date from mid september until the end of the year is fine for me at the moment.

    So what are the current plans? Is it officially dropped for this year or are there possibilities left? Though it gets kinda tight for me now...

    Those who would rather invest lots of money just won't get the "full" experience of earlier conventions, as we'd have a rather tiny group. However, if that won't bother you then just come on over. I'd still guide the whole weekend and have my apartment available as the generic event location - even if only one decides to come.

    Or as another idea: we can make 2 weekends and whoever wants attends the one he prefers. Or both.

    I'm still here - anyone wants to come over on any weekend?

    I am having an unplanned surgery next wednesday and I think I will be in hospital for about a week after that. I'll PM you, AmigoJack, once the surgery is done.

    I've updated the timetable that October is pretty much not possible to me anymore. Only Fri 10th to Sun 12th remains. After that the first weekend would be in November 7th to 9th and the following ones. I guess we just skip it this year.

    I stayed in the 5elements a couple of years back. As far as hostels go, it was pretty good and is just a very short walk to the main train station. As long as it hasn't changed for the worse since then, I'd say it's a good choice for cheap shared accommodation. Good showers and clean rooms. Card/reader for rooms was a little flaky but no big deal, and pretty sure reception is open 24/7.

    Just posting if anyone is on the fence re: accommodation

    Thanks for the review. I'm a bit surprised they can still keep up with their fresh opening back in 2009 for that price.

    Both the main hall and the basement have been occupied by us in the past.

    Late reply: it didn't. As no weekend was dictated the whole event was wasted in decision hell. Let's never repeat this mistake.

    Are these still happening? What do you do at these meetups when they do go as planned?

    Official Tournaments involving the more up to date games seeing you can more easily set them up for multiplayer I think Pure/Pulse are easiest for that. Some folks bring TV's and consoles and use the old PS1 link up for example to play the classics 2097/3SE against each other on separate screens (NeGcon required )

    There is also socialising eating drinking etc.

    That's brief I'm sure I've probably missed stuff plus I've not been for a while so might be missing things.
