[blood-red-fist]

wel start sending confirmations then?

[Maofex]

Just as an FYI there'll be an informational email going out to all those who have RSVP'd either tomorrow or early on Wednesday, detailing the itinerary for the day and including directions on how to get to both the FC offices and the Dubliner pub. Keep an eye on your inboxes. =)

What's early in the AO dev team world? SoonTM?

[Kintaii]

Yeah, still workin' on it - Had a few technical difficulties. ;P Will endeavor to have it out before the end of the day, though.

[Mitamina]

Would be greate if you could toss out aprox when we Are welcome on saturday so i could make the finale apointments with the babysitter 

[Silq]

No mail yet... is it time to be hysterical?

I sent it from a diff email account than the one registered to my AO account, been sweating all day that it might cause problems...

hopefully there will be some pictures and or videos would be nice to see it

I'll be taking a bunch, no worries on that front, and I apologise in advance for waving my camera in everybody's faces, it's a bit of a social crutch. Hopefully I'll get enough good ones to be forgiven ^^

This sounds like so much fun! I am soooo jealous of all those that are able to attend.

Would have been awesome to meet you hun, maybe another time *hugs*

Guess you are on overtime ^^
Hope to get the mail soon™

[Kintaii]

Yeah, sorry, no email today. >< That said I can give you guys a quick overview of the basic gist:

Current plans are for everyone to meet up at the FC offices on Saturday at 2:30pm - There'll be a quick sign-in (and, assuming I can get them printed in time, everyone's commemorative badges) and then heading into the office.

I know we talked about a quick tour, but being perfectly honest there's really way more people signed up for the event than we thought, to the point that we're not sure we can *fit* everyone into the main office area. >< That said, I'm going to try and separate peeps into two groups during the day and give them a quick runthrough of where we work - It's nothing really very exciting, I promise you, but I know a lotta folks would like the chance to see where we do our thing so I'll see what I can do.

We're going to hopefully have a quick presentation of Some Things We Are Working On™ in one of our larger meeting room areas, followed by a Q&A session in the office dining area - Seating will be slightly limited, but we should have almost enough to go around and with any luck there won't be anyone having to stand. I should note that we'll be both recording and possibly streaming the Q&A session so if there's anyone who doesn't want to potentially show up on camera we ask that they either remain in the back and don't ask any questions or otherwise excuse themselves.

After this we'll be letting folks mingle for a bit and potentially eating (more information on that in the forth-coming email). From there, after an hour or so, we'll split up and meet back down at the Dubliner pub at 7:00pm. After that it's drinking, shooting pool, and in general kicking back and relaxing for the evening. =)

The email I'll be sending out *tomorrow* will have more detailed information along with maps and some details on public transportation options both to the offices and to the Dubliner pub, along with some other various tidbits. Again, sorry that this didn't get out today but a few various things were working against me - We'll get it shipped tomorrow as soon as I can. =)

[blood-red-fist]

if needed/wanted three of us voluntair to do some /lft leechin at Oslo S trainstation, gathering the nerds...HERDS, herds *cough*..

[Adeo]

It's ok, i think you can safely use the term "nerds" here.

People going /lft and *spawncamping*, showing up in "crat suits".. Let's face it, we're a bunch of geeks.

I'm personally looking forward to all the looks we'll get at the Dubliner when all the drunk AO players start talking "l33t" to each other.. It's gonna be legen .. .wait for it ...

[Anarrina]

I've never seen a pocketboss as persistently camped as the electrical outlets in airports. Someone tried to KS the one I'm hooked up to now, I was pulled my cord out and he came up and stuck his cell phone charger in it! I made a growly noise and intimidated him off....

[Superflare]

Edit: Please send your email in English. These all go to me, and I'm afraid I don't speak anything other than that.

You speak l33t too...

[kakafonia]

[Kintaii]

Despite the universe's best attempts to keep me from sending this stuff out (down to my work computer's HD dying this morning ><), I have managed to send out the information packet regarding the event. If you have RSVP'd and did NOT receive this email, please send another mail to the ao-rsvp@anarchyonline.com address and I'll do my best to make sure you receive the information. =)

Looking forward to seeing everyone on Saturday!
