Brittens, the smaller Mittens reunion in the UK will hopefully take place on the weekend of June 18th (Fri) to June 20th (Sunday). The location is still undecided, but it will probably be a campsite somewhere in England. I'm currently looking again at campsites around London at the moment, but if anyone feels it should be somewhere else do let me know.
Any AGS user from the UK is welcome to attend, but at the same time so are those from out of the UK - but you must bear in mind it is only a two night event.
There is again a minimum age of 16, there will be no charge other than that of the camp-site (this is usually no more than 12 pound per night). It will be mostly a social event, without any real visits or activities. As for food, it'll be cooked by whoever wants to cook it and I'll have to ask for a £5 food fee, so that we can buy beans and stuff :)
How is this date for you?
If you would like to attend, please EMAIL me (no PM's please) with the following details;
- Real full name
- Nickname (on forums)
- Age and/or date of birth
- Where you're from
- How you plan to get to Brittens*
That's all I need to know. Email me at mark @ barnettcollege.com - preferably using the subject; 'Brittens'.
Look forward to hearing from you, and possibly seeing you at Brittens.
* Roughly.
NOTE; Usual rules apply. I'll be the responsible adult on this excursion so you'll have to answer to me if you screw it up for everyone else or yourself. I reserve the right to kick you out, and so does the camp-site - whatever they do will be beyond my control.
Also, please let me know if you would prefer to speak with me personally over the phone or want me to email / speak to parents/guardians etc. I'm quite happy to do so.
:)
well thats a bitch, im 16 on the 22nd of june ... 4 days later. But i could probally still go. rite?
infact i dont know wether i would go, theres not a very high chance, but thats just me... ok ill shut up.
anyway, sounds like fun mark. I'll consider attending.
-OSC
Yes, thats fine. But had it been five days later...
I have a question.
Will I be the only female, should I decide to go?
Because, in fairness, that's kind of intimidating.
Not that I give a shite, really.
Let me answer that by posing you with another..
Name another female UK AGSer.
:P
Oooh, burn!
What burn? Crazy man.
Way to make my post not make sense. Curse you!
I hate you, remo (http://www.doublefine.com/news.htm)
Yufster will be the Brittens whore and bring entertainment to all the AGSers that attend.
Whee!
I may come for a day visit.. If you guys decide to go to London or something.. I doubt I could get my German partner to drive around in a different country trying to find you guys.
Should be able to make this, it'd be handy to know where it's being held so I can sort out getting a train/boat/plane down there.
Sure thing DS. I'll let you know ASAP.
If by a stroke of luck I happen to be free that week-end, I might turn up.
And Yufster, I can ensure you that these guys are completely harmless. If your parents allow you, and if you don't find the thought of camping with a bunch of male computer nerds a total bore, I really think you should come.
The only difference between me and a bunch of male computer nerds is fe.
I am game.
Yes.
Davy
Which game?
Monkey Island?
^_^
Thanks for emailing. That makes three people so far, lol.
Did you delete my post, Markeh??
Anyways.. I won't email you until I get there and know for sure what's going on.. You guys could always come drive down and spend the day in Sarrland! :-p
I WOULD start a new topic for this comment, but at work I cannot log on properly, so it won't let me...
If anyone is in the fair city of Derby in the UK at any point, I would be happy to have a look at you for the sake of the continued getting-together of AGS bods...
Big organised meet-ups are always going to be a bind for me, but if you were going to be around anyway, e might as well look at each other...
Perhaps you should talk to Dark Stalkey then mostly, I think he prowls that area.
And LGM yes I did delete it.
Sounds good, I shall do my best to attend. :)
I say there would be an 80% chance of me attending.
Har!
If we're camping, I'd be thankful for anybody who could supply me with a tent as I barely have enough funds to attend, let alone buy a tent. I'm still paying off my tour loan.
Cap'n, I shall be returning to the fair city of Derby on the 13th of May, when my last exam is over. I could boogie into the town centre and say 'Arrr' some weekday or weekend after that. Also, come along to this one seeing as you missed the first two mittens ;)
I may attend... it would be lot more cheaper to go there than Mittens. So yes, I'll try to be there! I wonder if I have a tent... yes, I have. And money... yes. So looks good so far.

Sure m0ds will let you share his tent...
Yeah, I can loan you a tent, Yuffs....
Well, I walked myself into that one.
Don't pretend that wasn't the respone you were hoping for, Yuf.
I am in Australia. I will not go.
I will do my best to go. The plane ticket seems pretty cheap and tentatively I don't have anything scheduled to that date. I hope it stays that way.
I might be coming (In Pete's luggage, if he don't bring too much stuff already), and about camping... I should drag a tent and a sleeping bag there? Hmmmm.... We have a four people tent somwhere... Yes, I'll be there if the arragements in this end settle well....
And does anybody posses a bass and/or drums? I'll take me guitar with me, if I don't pile up too much stuff...

You can't go, you have to work on AGS coding that weekend.
/me puts the proverbial foot down.
I'd show up there, but I don't think the army would let me leave Iraq for a weekend retreat :P
Aylnn, just go AWOL :P
Cool, it's good to see some others can come too. Still haven't set a location yet but we'll see.
Yufster, I have a spare tent you can use.
I'll also bring the big tent I took to Mittens 02, which can store more than six AGSers!!11
Hey, you mean everybody else is gonna be like, sharing tents except me, cause I'm a girl?
Don't you guys have girlfriends that you can bring or something? I won't speak to them or acknowledge their existence in any way, but it will help me blend in.
Hhmmmm.... No gf to bring... no-one to share tent with...
I have a tent that can store atleast 4 AGSers! IF[/u] somebody wants to sleep in the same tent with me, he/she can...
I have exams around that weekend so i wont be able to make it
hey, i've just realised that i have got free time at that weekend..
so, i only need some moneh to get over teh sea.. but i should arrange that..
ah, yesh. got a tent for max. 3 ppl, but then its really ?crowded? in there.
and no, no gf for me to bring with.. broke up 2 weeks ago. ::)
>:(
Why would you jack off with a johnny?
That's kinda weird.
I'm going to fit tommeh, tier and magintz in my tent. A!
Edit: And Chris is probably going to sleep in one that leaks.
lol m0ds your evil, no offence intended yuff, it was just a light hearted joke. Really thought dont let the fact that you'd be the only girl stop you from going, im sure that you wont be treated any different. I know myself wouldnt treat you any different, if i go.
And anyway, couldnt Yufster bring along a girlyfriend? m0ds?

Hehe superb, it wouldn't be mittens without it ;)

it's not mittens, it's brittens... :P
Sounds good to me!
I may only be able to do Saturday / Sunday as I will just have started a new job a week or so before.
Matt
Heh.
My last exam is the week after...
If it was the next week, I would be able to come. But as it is, I'm leaving England for good on the 1st July, and doing exams till then..(so I can't really leave for that many days)
If you guys ever make an excursion into London, and wouldn't mind having someone who's put his AGS games on hiatus for a while with you, I'd love to come along...
Yeah Chris, there's America after that. LOL. America.
::)
Mad new smiley.
What's so funny about america? :'(
don't mean to start a fight or anything, just wondering...
Much as I'd love to come and pester you all, my study leave ends on Wednesday 16th, and I don't then break up until 13th July.
So you won't have to suffer me...
Damn ¬_¬

LOL. That made me feel really valued ;)...
QuoteI'm going to fit tommeh, tier and magintz in my tent. A!
Clearly you cant read m0ds, I cant go :)
Clearly he thought the option of sleeping in the same tent as me would make you change your mind :P
i should be able to attend but its right in the middle of my exams so I'll have to see...
It'll be a welcome break and it's only 2 days, we might as well use the same campsite as we did for mittens, as some people know where it is, you know the kind old granny who owns it ;) and we know what's in the area.
We do indeed.
"WILL YOU GUYS PLEASE SHUT THE FUCK UP!!"
Soo... it is sure now that it'll be 18th-20th of June somewhere near London? Because I'll probably book my flights sometime soon and it will suck if you go and change the date and place after I've booked my flights :P
I've come across problems... I just heard that I have work just the weeks before and after.... :(
I think it might be nice to change the date to later in the summer, as it coincides with exams and stuff.
18th is the date of my last exam, so it's fine for me, and mittens is later in the summer..

double Yey!
People have to go to mittens too, perhaps they can't get work off twice so soon, or money would be tight with brittens and mittens so close :P
and it's a weekend, what exams do you have on a weekend? :P
yeh i see your point pudding,
hmm seem's like a sticky perdiciment. I say just keep the date, and people like me and TK wont be able to go :-\
Current date or Fri 2nd July to Sun 4th?
That later date would be better for me too, but I'm not fussed. I have flexible work hours anyway so it's not a problem for me. And I like this font.
Current date is probably better for me but can make teh 2nd ;o
I prefer the current date because the flights for the second one will cost more... :-\
Good point, the second date will enter school holiday times therefore putting the price up?
the second suits me more, but thats just me :P
How about the weekend in-between (ie. 25-27 June). That should be early enough to avoid the peak time flights, but late enough to be after exams have finished.
Oh yes, 25th - 27th sounds good. RyanAir seem to have cheaper flights at that time than what they are at 18th-20th...
25th - 27th would be perfik
I can also make the original dates, but definatlety not the 2nd... ;D
brilliant Chris! ;D
guess who'll also be comming?!
if he can get the money and pursuade his boss to give him the weekend off ;D
anyway,
I just heard about brittens, and I'm really looking forward to it, and to (finally) meeting all of you (again).
25th till 27th would be perfect :)
all I need is the info, fast :P where? when? who? what? should I bring a tent? should I bring loads of money? should I try to seduce m0ds?
so many questions so little time...
My last exam is the 24th, so thats great...
I'd love to see Fruittree again yay!
I think this Brittens is a good idea, but perhaps we should extended it for a few days because of the europeans who are coming?
Woot, good to see you can make it again Fruity :)
Magintz - no idea. If it's a campsite, people can stay as long or as little as they like.
And the dates of Chirs sound good.
Looks like a no go for me :( oh well (exams on friday 25th and tuesday 29th). A week later I could make it :P.
I'll see if i could come for a day.
Well, I can make the two later dates.
But not the earlier one as I will have approximately no money. Or at least, the original one will be hard for me to attend.
The later the better for me. I don't mind paying a little extra for a flight.
25th - 27th seems to be ok for me... if I can arrange myself getting there (to Pete's luggage, actually...)
After long chats with Pessi and TK, it seems that we probably won't take RyanAir's flights, but Finnair's flights which are a bit more expensive. Finnair would take us to Heathrow airport, which seems to be near the campsite where the first Mittens took place. Also, 25th - 27th of June would be good dates for us. We would be there over the sunday and fly back to Finland at monday morning, so if someone is going to be there one extra night, we will probably be there aswell :)
So, atleast I'm ready to book my flights as soon as the dates are decided!
HEEEY dudes :)
I'm back again
anyway
I sure would like to come to this Brittens thingy. I'll check the dates
yay! more dutchmen!
Euro-Brittens!
Hope you can make it, N3T.
Okay, so we're looking at cj dates 25th-27th. Now I have to ring the campsite and check that they're okay with us going back there.
I must stress that anyone wishing to attend emails me the details mentioned in the first post. I've had about five replies so far. Even if you're not sure if you can go, PLEASE EMAIL ME! I can't tell the campsite 5 are attending and 30 people turn up. That'd be camp on camp.
sorry i can't make it.
i failed horribly on my exam last friday and have to do it again in the week before brittens.
at that weekend i'll hopefully get my graduation and saturday is prom-night.
sunday i'll be on teh way to greece with some friends..
Shame! But, best of luck (again)! And I'm sure you'll have a kick-my-arse time!
my last exam is on the 14th so looks like im going, mind if daz tags along too?
Hmm, not sure if I can make those dates - it's like, two days before I get paid, so I will be as poor as. But I shall see, I shall see....
Davy
Sadly.. LGM cannot make it. LGM did not realise that Blieskastel, Germany is actually quite far from London.
LGM is sorry to dissapoint his many Briton fans. But if you would like to see LGM, he is more than glad to welcome you at his wonderful (but temporary) home in Webenheim for a day.
Well everything seems fine, I can bring two tents so Yufster if you want I have a spare tent you can have all to yourself, also it's quite secure so you wont feel threatened by any "HORNY" agsers (*m0ds*). (yufs tent is big enough for two people so if another female turns up you can share with her), me and 2ma2 used that tent mittens
Anyway, if someone else can supply you a tent i'll just bring one.
As for the tent i shall bring it's probably big enough to fit 4 people in, but i couldnt guarantee. =) i also have a spare BBQ to bgring and some brcks
Pfft, adding segragation of the sexes will be society's decline.
And LGM, haha, you smell and no one will want to visit you anyway!!!!
How come Pessi turns up on Brittens, but not on Mittens, which was held much closer?
This isn't fair!!
I might even make a guest appearance, for the heck of it
Can I come for a day?
It's my last week in Britain, so I'm going to be busy as hell, and more importantly I haven't done much work on adventure games recently or hung around the forum, so I'd feel kinda outta place among you guys, who haven't deserted the cause and stopped ( I swear, as soon as I get outta school I'll make a decent game, and I have some work done on stuff which I can make into an intro/demo when I have some time)
I think you're all awesome, and I'd love to come and meet you guys, but you've probably forgotten who I am and shit... If not, then maybe I could come on Saturday or Sunday?
I'll be there with a tent.
Cause I can't afford to go to America.
