Screenshots "later" doesn't work.  You should have waited to post until you had them.  PM when you have read the forum rules and are ready to follow them and I'll unlock this.

Thanks.

Congratulations on finishing a game!

Congrats on another game finished Dave!!

Now ... everybody go buy the damn thing!!!

My main reason for voting Amsterdam is to hear what horribly inappropriate comments CJ would make at the Anne Frank house.

I tingle with anticipation ... after shuddering at Auschwitz  

If we are voting, I'd vote for Holland as well!  Only because, as Mills said, I'd want to do all the touristy stuff in Italy (Rome, Pompeii, etc) and that's not (in my limited experience) what Mittens is about!  Well that ... and I've always wanted to travel to Holland.

** goes off to amazon to find some wooden clogs ... **

Okay ... everybody just needs to calm down a skosh!!

Nacho (and I) expressed opinions that were misinterpreted and then unnecessarily blown way out of proportion!  Let's just drop the issue and get back on topic here!

If it helps I can offer up some virtual hugs (or hand-shakes if hugs make any of you uncomfortable?)

So ... are we changing the location to Italy?

** ducks out of a pointless debate that is going nowhere and that shouldn't have been started in the first place **

I really don't care who organizes it or what location is chosen.  I'll be there either way.

and I really don't think the whole 'poorly organized' argument holds any water, Darth; a Mittens regular could just as easily mismanage and make a mess out of plans just because they're human.  I mean, seriously...do you actually mean to tell me you think that someone who attends a group gathering to have fun is now more qualified to organize it?

Yes.  A person who has been to Mittens knows how the week plays out, what kind of events people like (and don't like), what we've done before, etc.  I should think this was common sense? I never said a person who hasn't been to Mittens couldn't manage it, just that I would prefer somebody with Mittens experience to organize it.  It's called an opinion.  No hogwash involved, just an opinion that holds water just fine   Seriously ... I tested it in the lab, no water leaked.

Francesco's a good guy; he's been on the forums a good while now and I've talked to him a good deal.  I even talked to him about this very issue and I now rather regret to have encouraged him to offer his assistance considering some of the replies.

I make this statement in no way directed toward Bicilotti (as I've always enjoyed his "company" on the forums!) but I ...

I do not think it's daft and pompous.

I make this statement in no way directed toward Bicilotti (as I've always enjoyed his "company" on the forums!) but I would much rather it be organized/hosted by people I've met at Mittens before because if I'm going to spend the money (probably will be around 2,000 USD) to come to Italy (or Holland) I don't want to get there and then have everything fall through because it was poorly organized!  Again, I'm not saying Bicilotti wouldn't be capable (or willing - I don't think he expressed interest) I'm just saying I'd be more comfortable with somebody who has Mittens experience were setting things up.

Just my two cents ... I'll be there either way

I would be okay with either location.  As Grundy stated, Italy has been on the top of my "to visit" list for many years!  But, like Mills said ... we did, at mittens, discuss Holland.  I could go either way!  Much of Amulet of Kings takes place in Italy so I wouldn't mind doing some research while at Mittens

My hosting company has gone straight down the tubes ... sad.  They used to be so reliable and now all my sites spend more time offline than on.  I'm transferring them to a new company soon.  It should be working now!

I'm sick as a dog ...   But I wanted to get my photos up for reminiscing

Darth's Mittens 2009 Photos

I took about 300 photos total, but I preened them a bit to select the ones I thought most worth sharing.  I hope you enjoy them!

I'm confused ...

Did I insult Squinky and/or Snarky with that comment? 

I cannot help you with a pixel-pusher for a mac (as I only use real computers)

As for a the wacom Cintiq I haven't used one personally but I have chatted at a few that have and they say it is amazing!  I am planning on getting one (the 21UX) as my next big "toy" but I don't have it just yet.

I will never understand "temporary" second screenies ... if you don't have TWO (as the rules require) you should have waited to post until you do.  Please update soon with a non-temporary screenshot or lockity-lock!!

Thanks

Yay group photo time!

Squinky was there??

@ Domino - hey!  When you gotta go, you gotta go

After many, many hours of travel I have arrived home safe and sound!

To those I'd met before, it was great to see you all again!

To the new-meeters; Scummbuddy, Sylpher, Pesty, Snarky, and Lackey it was great to meet you all!

If I forgot somebody it's due to lack of sleep, not lack of happiness at meeting you!  I will post pictures later ... after I pay the master meter.

I usually avoid this kind of post ... but this looks fantastic!

I'm really glad to know you're still in development with this.

Sheesh I am off the forums for one day...

jrels - You have provided the screenshots but a little more information on the game would be nice!  I'm not going to lock this, just making a suggestion.

Good luck with your game!
