Mittens 05

Disco · Sun 13/03/2005 18:26:19

Good to hear that Mittens is maybe moving to Europe. I'm from the US and was beginning to settle on Brittens.

As far as location, Sweden is preferable for me moneywise, but Greece intrigues me, so that could be cool. I have not yet announced my first game publicly though, hope that's not an issue.

QuoteThis is pretty unfair

Unfortuantly lots of things are unfair when you're a minor, but that's life. If something happened to an under-18 year old at one of these events the organiser would be held responsable, and i'm sure whoever took on the burden of organising this would find such a scenerio rather undesirable. It's nothing personal, just the way the laws are written.

I'd realistically be able to attend a european gathering, and I'd be very up for it. I'd perhaps need a couple of months warning as I'll be working from June onwards and would need to sort out time off and tickets and stuff, but I couldn't miss out on meeting you guys again, whether it's Greece or Sweeden.

It'd be somewhat nostalgic to hold it at the ol' mittens cabin again too!

I will be there. Ã,Â It's about Â£126 to go from the UK, for anyone else here.

Haddas · Sun 13/03/2005 18:41:42

I'll sign a paper in which I state the organizer is not responsible, but the person who killed me is.

Al_Ninio · Sun 13/03/2005 18:48:30

If it's held in Greece, it'll be about $300 US for me.
There's a 99% chance that I will be attending, as my parents are (currently) willing to pay for the trip.
Plus, if it's held in August, I'll be 18... Awesome.

Helm · Sun 13/03/2005 18:50:18

What if I, as the organizer, killed you? THE PERFECT CRIME

Al nice how that works for you. Glad you can come. I am counting scotch, custard and al so far. Oh and Ghormak who will come regardless of whether he wants to or not. THE POWER OF HELM COMPELS THEE

Andail · Sun 13/03/2005 19:00:16

I will try my best to come, and I shall drag Ghormak and Esseb with me, in their hair, or in their legs in case they are bald, or in their t-shirts in case both their legs are amputated.

Mid-august is fine for me. I know I won't make it if it's the first week of August, so I'm still fine.

Pumaman · Sun 13/03/2005 19:09:07

August is fine with me too, wherever it's held.

QuoteThis is pretty unfair, because now's probably my only chance to come to Mittens in few years, cause it'll be so near.

The minimum age is set by whoever is hosting Mittens. Since it would be their legal responsibility to look after any minors who attend, please respect this and understand why a minimum age is necessary.

Ubel · Sun 13/03/2005 19:12:40

Yeah, well I think I just need to wait few more years now. It's just a shame because it's so close.Ã,Â

Sorry if I made myself sound like a jerk.

Greece is close? It'll probably be closer other years. There's usually one in Britain.

Helm · Sun 13/03/2005 19:19:01

Scotch, Custard, Al, Andail, CJ, and possibly gore and esseb. 8 people with me so far, and I intend to drag at least butcher in this, if I can, so 9. Oh boy, hotel rooms.

Oh, sorry. I meant the Sweden thing cause I didn't notice that it was only an alternate. Gosh, I'm stupid.

I've had a really hard day today... not thinking clearly... sorry about this.

Vel · Sun 13/03/2005 19:35:56

One more vote for Greece.

Also a Stalkey, you skim-reader you.

MillsJROSS · Sun 13/03/2005 19:47:32

Sadly, I won't be able to attend Mittens 2005. Had a blast at the other one, but as of now, I don't have any funds. That said, once you guys get a firm date and location, I'm willing to open up discussions for an Amerittens.

Nacho · Sun 13/03/2005 22:26:16

If it's greece I'd probably attend... Sorry for the Aussies, I know it's a bit unfair, but flying 30 hours was a big handicap for me... Hope it won't be so big handicap for them and they come here, I wanna meet some of them.

* Disco assumes the possible Greek Mittens will be held in Athens

Hotel rooms? I found this Athenian campsite. It has a discotheque!

I can only read part of the site though, so I do not know how much it costs.

Helm · Mon 14/03/2005 03:41:14

We'll try to avoid campings as much as possible, sorry. I'll have an update for you soon enough with more relevant information, as things are being discussed between me and dasjoe.

Also, I can tell you right now (if it wasn't clear so far) that if you're less than 18 years of age, you're not coming. Yes, I am talking about YOU, 13 year old algerian guy that loved my games and is now tearing down all his homemade posters of me in anger. Sorry.

Las Naranjas · Mon 14/03/2005 10:54:53

It's a pity that the rest of the world is so isolated.

Andail · Mon 14/03/2005 11:16:18

Helm, you have to expect much more people than that....I mean, we will probably be more than last time, and already the interest is pretty big, after just a few days of advertising.

If even Dart declared an interest to come, we can expect more non-europeans signing up during the next couple of months.

It would be a shame to discourage people from coming, right?

Aim for at least 20 people. A camping site might be necessary.
