I always imagine the average RMNer as a very awkward, depressed, pansexual, animal-loving anime-nerd that only rarely, if ever, make a game. I'm not sure if meeting anyone from here would make my image of the average RMNer worse or better.

And some of us are literally nazis.
Is the UK destabilized enough yet such that their currency is reduced significantly enough for the trip there to be affordable?

Ehm... Shinan, is that some sort of inside joke that I'm missing? Because that is more than just a little bit disturbing.

It is a bit late because I didn't manage to take a picture of me in costume until last night. But the term "literally nazis" have been thrown around hasn't it so I thought that since I am literally a nazi right now it'd be fun!

Alright so right now the dates that I might be able to make it to London would be week 32 (August 8 - 14), so if we do the meetup around that time I might visit. I should probably also spend a day or so touristing? It feels like the kind of thing one should do, even though I'm not very good at that.

So yeah, dates? August 12/13 (Friday/Saturday)? And what are we going to do except be really awkward? I would bring boardgames as long as they're tiny :D

August 12th, 13th and even 14th work for me.

How's that for everyone else?

Caveat: My room's pretty tiny so I can't share it with anyone, sorry ;( I can still help you find other places though.

As to what we'd do....uh...general sightseeing stuff I guess? There's also a couple of gaming bars we could all go to if they're not too crowded.

I feel bored. How odd.

I would have recommended holding multiple meet-ups around the same time, based in different countries. So, one in the UK, one in the USA, etc. Then we could link all of them through Skype or something, but I doubt it would work, so...

Also, curse my young age and lack of money and free time. I really want to meet up.
So if we set the meet to be August 12th and/or 13th. Is there some general location for hanging out? I don't know the city, but I assume there is some local place we could hang out in and see what we can come up with. A location would be nice so if I try to dig up a hotel or something I'll try to dig up one that is near where we'd be!

Though is there anyone other than me and YM that would even show up? (Not that I'd mind hanging out with YM... I think. I don't know yet)

(Also I did a quick google to see if anything geek-related happened during that weekend and apparently this is going on: https://nineworlds.co.uk/)

So, what do you know. I've been looking it over again, and it seems that I was wrong, and I should actually be able to make it for this meetup. I've managed to find some very reasonable possibilities for transport to London on the weekend of August 12th to 14th. In short, if it's not too late, I'd actually like to be there for this!

Oh, sweet. What about accommodation?

Anyway, that's three of us so far...

Anyone else? Or do I have to start chasing people??? >:D

I don't know exactly where I'm going to stay, but I'm confident I should be able to afford a hostel room or something for one or two nights. Do we have any idea about which days / what time we want to spend together? Because I might have to get my tickets relatively soon if I still want them to be affordable.
(I'll just make this clear right away, I'm probably going to be travelling by train or bus. I don't like flying.)

Based on the posts in the thread so far, I think Jeroen_Sol expressed interest, and even specifically mentioned the weekend of August 13th before it became a more fixed plan.
Kloe, I don't know if you wanted to come too, but considering you live in Britain, I sure hope you consider it.

Nothing reveals Humanity so well as the games it plays. A game of betrayal, where the most suspicious person is brutally murdered? How savage.

I'm definitely interested. I assumed the meetup was going to take place at the end of July, making me unable to attend, but now it should be more possible for me. But it would still be difficult. Bart will be a mentor at the uni's introduction week starting August 14th, and I have to be representing my acting group as treasurer at that same introduction week.

Well, August 14th is a Sunday, right? Would it be manageable for you if you arrived back home on that day? So far, it seems like most of the action would be going on on Friday 12th and/or Saturday 13th, so leaving in time for your university responsibilities to not become a mess should be possible (at least theoretically).

Yeah, worth adding that I don't mind taking the day-off for Friday, so it could end up being at least two days - and maybe the Sunday as well for whoever's interested/available.

NS: cool if you think you can sort accommodation out yourself, but if you need any help let me know.

How about we give this until Wednesday evening before sorting out final dates/times/activities? Or is that leaving it too late?

Great! I'm not entirely sure yet what day I'll be returning home, both Saturday evening and Sunday are possible options for me. So I'm fine with just basing that decision on what the others prefer. I'm probably going to arrive early on Friday morning, if all goes well. But if nobody else is ready yet at that point, I don't mind waiting a bit at all.

I mean, do you have any immediate suggestions? I've only been to London once before, and that was a long time ago. Thanks for the offer, either way!

Sure, that's fine!
