ps : Last time ct came from canada !!

[KevinDDR]

If the meeting was in London in August I would absolutely go. If the meeting was in Paris then there is a small chance.

Actually, if you all wanted to do something in December then there is a very large chance that I could go regardless of location.

[timc]

I fly into Paris on 29 June 2010. I'll be in France (montpellier) for a month or two. Lets do it.

[Rosti LFC]

If the meeting is pretty much anywhere in Western/Northern Europe in September I'll be there.

If it's in August I'll still probably be able to make it (unless it clashes with the Reading Festival) but might have issues because I'll be working over the summer.

[PetitPrince]

August would be cool for me.

[colour_thief]

I prefer Orangina.

[Amnesia]

Only a few weekend during July and August for me, I can't take more holyday for this summer.

[PetitPrince]

So, 7-8 August everyone ?

[K]

it's finally early, and without other proposition i guess it will be held in strasbourg, but it's fine for me.
even if Rosti is only available for the week end, people can still be present more days but you have to tell me about it asap because i must take those days off (week end + 2 or 3 days max ) !
please confirm your dates in blue ! (http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0ApaBubc6gunxdFVCUnhSMmw3S0Y5VE12ZTI4WXBud Hc&hl=en#gid=0)

[cyberguile]

Can't come the week that runs from the 28th of august to next sunday nor on 9/11
Any other date of july, august or september will be perfect

[Kanardator]

Can I come ? :D (Only if it will be in Strasbourg)

[K]

Dudes if you want to come please write your disponibilities in the SHEET ! (http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0ApaBubc6gunxdFVCUnhSMmw3S0Y5VE12ZTI4WXBud Hc&hl=en#gid=0)

[muf]

JUAN SHEET ! (http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0ApaBubc6gunxdFVCUnhSMmw3S0Y5VE12ZTI4WXBud Hc&hl=en#gid=0)

[NBL]

If this takes place in Strasbourg or Paris, I'll be available on several WE (cf the sheet)

[K]

As proposed by PetitPrince the August 7 & 8 is the best for most of people :
Please confirm and update in blue when you are sure to come : (http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0ApaBubc6gunxdFVCUnhSMmw3S0Y5VE12ZTI4WXBud Hc&hl=en#gid=0)

[K]

I'm checking the date and the best dates are august 7 & 8, or later 21 & 22 (Kevin would come but not good for timc) .

Please confirm your dates dudes, and write some comments if needed :v

[PetitPrince]

I'm waiting for other people to confirm before I take the train tickets.

[cyberguile]

I will confirm this evening, need to call my brother since I think the 7-8 is around the date we are going to mulhouse (which would be perfect :) )

[K]

Please consider about 21 & 22
As discussed with Kevin, we have great chance he come on 21 & 22. I'm very sorry to Timc if he can't come but i would greatly appreciate Kevin's presence as well..

[timc]

hey k thank you for your consideration. the 21/22 might actually be much better than the 7/8th.

In any case don't plan around me: I don't know when I'll be leaving France. as soon as i know more i'll post here

i'm getting fucking excited about this though

[muf]

Oh guys just a heads up if anyone snores during the night I will punch them in their sleep that will be all.

[COL]

OK for both proposals...

[K]

Oh guys just a heads up if anyone snores during the night I will punch them in their sleep that will be all.

you will love amnesia then !
Snoring machine ! :sneaky:

[cyberguile]

7/8 would have been more than perfect but well, If kev can come on the 21st, will be fine for me.

PS: amnesia snores ? damn, I need to take mes boules quies alors :p

[Ai]

Normally I'm only free in July, but I'll try and see if I can make it anyway.

[Amnesia]

omg I had forgoten this.
You guys have approximately 5% of chance by night (so 0.25% for 2 nights in a row) to not hear me snoring.
So I think I should not come actually, otherwise I will make you have a very bad time.

[cyberguile]

or you can sleep while we play and play while we sleep :D

[muf]

Or you can sleep in the kitchen with the door closed or something. :sneaky:

[mfm005]

*sorry*

[Amnesia]

i would greatly appreciate Kevin's presence as well..

omg me too..:D
That is a fantastic occasion to make him disapear without going to the United States.:twisted:

[Rosti LFC]

I won't be able to book anything or confirm my attendance until my work placement for the summer is sorted out, but the late August date is far more likely to be OK than the earlier one.

[COL]

You guys have approximately 5% of chance by night (so 0.25% for 2 nights in a row) to not hear me snoring.


damn former teacher mode on: YOU ARE WRONG!!!:sneaky:

[K]

As mentionned on the sheet the entries are closed. I capped the max attendies number to 10. :v

[muf]

As long as not everybody has confirmed there isn't a definitive count of who will come.

[Zaphod77]

damn former teacher mode on: YOU ARE WRONG!!!:sneaky:

a 5 percent chance = 0.05

so to find the chance of both events happening (Amnesia not snoring on first night, and Amnesia not snoring on second night) we simply multiply the probabilities straight up.

0.05*0.05=0.0025

and then we multiply by 100 to convert to percent

0.0025*100= 0.25%

Seems he's right. :)

[Amnesia]

Ouuf, thank you for your support.
Seems I have not an engineer degree for nothing..:(

[K]

Meeting final dates : 21 & 22
i'll take off 19 & 20, so it's possible for people to be there from thursday.

[K]

meeting confirmation !

[Rosti LFC]

My work experience should hopefully be finished by then, so I'll probably be there.

[muf]

Hey Amn, you're only going to be staying the night on Saturday right?

AND SO WHAT
I can't play tetris AND count on my fingers at the same time:oops:
Ok so let's buy those earplugsB)

[PetitPrince]

Confirmed for me

Will bring a sleeping bag, my computer, my VSHG, my DSLR, probably two DSes...
Do we need something else ? (I can bring my Wii for some Tetris LOL Party Deluxe)

[Ineluctable_Entropy]

AND SO WHAT

I think you were thinking of the Gambler's Fallacy.

Tbh, for a moment there, I thought they were both wrong too but then I realised he meant two nights in a row, not the chances of him snoring each night. ^_^

[muf]

I can bring my Wii for some Tetris LOL Party Deluxe
I can bring my Fighting Stick Wii.

[cyberguile]

Booking the tickets before the end of the week.
I'll bring my vshg and my laptop.
I could bring a couple of old tetris from my collection but need to see first what systems will be available

[Amnesia]

jago, how much is it for 1 person in this hotel, I am really stressed for this problem; I don't want to hear people complaining, I will be there from friday evening to monday afternoon, so it is 3 whole nights, I could sleep 2 nights in your flat and spare the other night in staying in the hotel.
Or maybe you have an isolated room, I can even sleep in the bathroom if it large and long enough for my body.

[shoryu]

I just found out about this meeting and as it says there's no more room, if someone cancels, I can be there for that weekend for sure :) (i live in france and i'm free at that date)

[Amnesia]

141 € for me alone for 3 days in this hotel.:(
Please guys, don't let me sleep alone at the hotel.:oops:

[muf]

I'm not sure about the layout of Jago's apartment but if you're willing to sleep in the kitchen or something I'm sure it'll be fine. :)

[K]

there is also a basement.. :sneaky:

[Amnesia]

Is it necessary I bring my GC with some good games ?

-XTREM G3
-ZELDA (twilight and wind wak)
-The whole RESIDENT EVIL serie
-and...Don't remember

[muf]

You can play GC games on PetitPrince's Wii, just take the games and some GC controllers. You don't actually need to bring the GC itself.

[Amnesia]

Hmmm
You know I hate this console, even if it is GC games and GC controllers, it may be paintfull for me to play on the WII.
But it is ok, I need to travel with light stuff on my back.

[KevinDDR]

If I come (and this is almost certain, I just need to clear some things), I will be bringing:

- HRAP3, FSTE
- 8 spare Sanwa buttons in case anyone's stick has issues during the meeting
- Seimitsu LS-32 and Sanwa JLF sticks, just in case anyone wants to buy one or use them in their sticks during the meeting
- DS, ton of games
- PSP, ton of games

[cyberguile]

Got my train tickets.
Arrival: Friday 20 at 14h36
Departure: Monday 23 at 17h16

[PetitPrince]

Also got mine.
Arrival: Thursday 19 @ 16h33
Departure Monday 23 @ 09:51

[muf]

What did you guys pay for your tickets? I'm looking at a €210 return ticket for a return ICE to Strasbourg and I'm not very happy about it.

[Ai]

For that price you may as well take a plane. I don't know the details, but a friend of mine was in Mulhouse (also in Alsace near Strasbourg) in February and took a plane from the Netherlands. If you're lucky you could get return tickets for almost half that price.

[PetitPrince]

I got mine (117.40€) from TGV-Europe (http://www.tgv-europe.com). Watch out though, SNCF's websites are known to be quite shitty (for instance, I can't search anything right know because of a "technical error").

[cyberguile]

lyon-strasbourg: 17 euros
strasbourg-lyon: 17 euros

http://www.voyages-sncf.com/

there's a few sits in every train they call "prem's" with ver low prices that are opened for sale like two months before departure (and are generally sold out rather fast)

maybe you can sort someting cheaper than 210 euros with some flight to mulhouse (or even to lyon, dunno) as suggested, from there it's only two train station to get to strasbourg.

btw, received my tickets this morning

[Rosti LFC]

Hmm... those Lyon trains could be useful.

I can't fly to Strasbourg cheaply from Liverpool, so I'll probably end up going via Paris, Zurich or somewhere else (mayeb Lyon if the trains are going to be that cheap). I'll work things out when I've got my summer placement dates and I can know which days I'll be coming.

[cyberguile]

use the link I've provided, enter your dates from different places on the right of the front page and click on "Réservez", then browse through all the trains until you find a ticket with the PREM'S icon next to it (the price will be written in an orange/yellow background)

[muf]

Hah, flying Easyjet from Brussels to Lyon and taking a cheap ticket from Lyon to Strasbourg would be €110 for a return.. That's almost half of the return Düsseldorf-Strasbourg I was looking at. Not worth the faff though, and way too many factors involved that could go wrong.

[cyberguile]

Also, note that from the airport to the main train station, it's a 40 minutes bus trip, one bus every 20 minutes.
You should check something like flight from amsterdam to basel (switzerland: http://www.euroairport.com ) then basel-strasbourg by train (which is cheap and fast)

[muf]

That's cheap indeed, but the only cheap flight to Basel arrives at 22:40, and the last train to Strasbourg leaves at 22:48. I can't teleport from the plane to the train in 8 minutes. :\ The next train leaves at 05:17.

EDIT:
€110,38 for Amsterdam-Basel-Strasbourg and Strasbourg-Basel-Düsseldorf. Not counting the fares between Basel CS and Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg. Not too bad but still a lot that can go wrong and I wouldn't be able to take my Type-X or any joysticks with me.

[Rosti LFC]

How about going via Paris?

If we end up going via the plane -> train route, then would be cool to book the same train into Strasbourg if the times aren't too inconvenient.

[KevinDDR]

My plan is to fly direct from Newcastle to Paris and then take the TGV from Paris to Strasbourg on the Thursday. If you're planning on going up that day, it would be neat to get on that same train. :D

[PetitPrince]

My train is leaving at 15h17 from Basel.

[cyberguile]

make sure to book your tgv ticket as early as possible since those "prem's" tickets sell rather fast on tgv

[Amnesia]

59€ for Friday evening to monday evening (Paris-Strasbourg), with a 12-25 reduction card.
Without this card the same travel would cost 151€

[muf]

Ordered my tickets. Going through Stuttgart, but at least this way I can bring lots of stuff with me. I had to order separately from Bahn.de and TGV-Europe.com, which was quite risky, but the only way to ensure a fair price and get a reservation (Bahn.de kept giving an error about not being able to place the TGV reservation).

€136 from Bahn.de (Köln-Stuttgart, Stuttgart-Köln)
€42 from TGV-Europe.com (Stuttgart-Strasbourg, Strasbourg-Stuttgart)
My parents are taking me to and from Köln by car :wub:
Total: €178.

I'll arrive in Strasbourg Thursday 20:15, and depart on Monday 13:45.

Tentative packing list:
TAITO Type-X arcade system
Dual-stick JVS/JAMMA supergun (Virtua Stick Pro with SEGA Rev. B JVS I/O, Wei-Ya VGA adapter and power supply)
2x USB Joysticks (Virtua Stick Saturn with Sanwa JLF and OBSF-30)
Fighting Stick Wii (with Sanwa JLF and OBSF-30)
Fighting Stick X360 (with Sanwa JLF and OBSF-30)
Tablet PC

I'll try not to take anything with me that isn't going to be used, so it's probably a good idea to make a list of who's bringing their own sticks and who needs to borrow one.

[croikle]

The Type-X and Virtua Stick Pro are a serious load by themselves, and you're bringing 4 other sticks (albeit small ones)? Hehe, sounds fun.

[Rosti LFC]

If I can get a new restrictor I'll probably bring my VSHG.

[muf]

The Type-X and Virtua Stick Pro are a serious load by themselves, and you're bringing 4 other sticks (albeit small ones)? Hehe, sounds fun.
Now you know why I spent so much time booking a trip with only one transfer. But hey, I have two arms and a back, should be enough right? :awe:

[KevinDDR]

Hey Rosti, I'll bring my spare restrictors so you can have one of those.

[PetitPrince]

TAITO Type-X arcade system

Do we have enough screen ? I only saw one TV and one projector in K's video of his flat, and if the projector is the same as last time, there could be a video lag issue.

[cyberguile]

I'm bringing my VSHG and my laptopt

[timc]

[cyberguile]

Jago, do you think it could be possible that we make an online streaming of the session ?
Something like the godsgarden street fighter IV tournaments that you can watch live on ustream

[Rosti LFC]

I should be starting work for six weeks on Monday. Which is good news and bad news.

Good news is that I can at least go (which wouldn't really be the case if I was starting a week later and only had Saturday and Sunday off), bad news is that I probably won't be in Strasbourg any earlier than late on Friday evening.

I'm going to try and maybe get my final day of work off so I can travel down on Friday morning or maybe even Thursday evening and get an extra day, but I'll probably just have to make do with finishing work on the Friday afternoon. I'll book stuff for sure when I know exactly when I finish.

[KevinDDR]

Unfortunately I won't be able to attend. I poured all my fucking effort from the last month into trying to get into shape for this meeting, too, and I won't be able to make it. Sorry guys. However, I'll be in England starting tomorrow so if anyone happens to be there just lemme know!

EDIT: Actually...there is still a very small chance I might be able to go. I need to get to England soon and it seems that the flights we were going to switch to from my August flight are all prohibitively expensive. I might still be going in August, and if I do I will 100% be certain to attend the meeting.

[Amnesia]

Do a paybal request now on a new topic and try to get a few money.

[Rosti LFC]

However, I'll be in England starting tomorrow so if anyone happens to be there just lemme know!


I happen to be there...

And sorry to hear you probably won't be able to make it. Not that I'm particularly certain of coming either. Should hopefully at least know this time next week, though it might be too late by then to book cheap flights and trains :\

Don't abandon me and timc in a sea of frogs! The excessive amount of French speech might be lethal.

[cyberguile]

I can make an effort and speak english :)

[KevinDDR]

Actually, it's becoming much more likely that I will be attending. We were completely unable to get a flight for July, so the August plane tickets are still held. I don't know what the plan is now, and I'm not sure why I'd be going to England but the fact is that I still have the flight booked for August 8th and if we decide to go and not throw it away, I WILL BE AT THE STRASBOURG MEETING!!!

[Amnesia]

I am sure you will do your best for it so I will end this in telling you good luck, and I wait for your news.

[K]

Houston, we've got a problem.

Finally i must work thursday and Friday (19&20).
But it's not a big deal if i let the key, and nobody need me for playing Tetris...
i'll be back from 4:30PM... i'll discuss about this with the first attendies...:v

[Amnesia]

Finaly # finalement ;)

[Rosti LFC]

I won't be able to go D:

Basically I've got the choice of taking a few days off to go to Strasbourg, or a few days off to go to the Reading festival. Or shit gets fucked up entirely, I go through a huge faff and don't work or get paid for the last two weeks, which I'd rather not do (and it's not even confirmed that I'd be able to do it anyway), so leaves me missing Strasbourg of Reading. I'd actually probably enjoy Strasbourg more, but I've already paid about £180 to go to Reading, plus transport to and from Strasbourg is going to be a pain to organise and will be expensive because it's fairly last-minute, and I'll only be able to be there for two or three of the days anyway.

So yeah, I should have been able to go, but the company I'm working for fucked me over by being slow, and I finish a week after the weekend rather than the week before like I planned. It sucks, but c'est la vie I guess.

Hope you guys have fun (but not too much :\), and I'll be doing nothing next summer so I'll almost 100% certainly be able to go to a meeting next year regardless of when it is (so long as it's in Europe though). Maybe this is good news for someone who wants to go but couldn't because there weren't enough places?

[K]

ok i must start listing all available material for the meeting...
i must also watch for a live streaming,
For sure i have 2 BIG CRT TV.. but i would be glad if another supergun was available, meaning TGM1, TAP and Ti available at the same time !!:sneaky:

[muf]

I could ask Deniax if I'm allowed to bring his JVS supergun to Strasbourg (he still hasn't picked it up at mine from servicing it with OBSF buttons), but it's 1P only and JVS only, but it works for Ti. So we could use your 1P supergun for TGM1, my 2P supergun for TAP, and Deniax's supergun for Ti. That would limit dual play or versus play to TAP only, but it's by far the most interesting game for those anyway.

[Rosti LFC]

Wasn't that pretty much done back when I was with you nearly a year ago?

FYI, I've ordered a Blackmagic Intensity Shuttle so that we can capture the actual gameplay feed alongside the webcam feed for dual angle livestreaming. Let's just hope it arrives in time :). I'll also bring my VGA to video converter so we can stream Ti just as effortlessly.

[KevinDDR]

Parts for sale at the meeting:
8 Sanwa OBSF-30 buttons (black)
2 Sanwa OBSF-24 buttons (black)
4 Sanwa OBSF-30 buttons (white)
3 Sanwa JLF wiring harnesses (for connecting JLFs to non-5pin setups)
1 Seimitsu LS-32 with custom dust cover
4 Sanwa JLF 4/8way restrictors
4 Sanwa button hole covers (these are nice for getting that real arcade feel!)
2 Sanwa JLF hexagonal 8 way restrictors

I haven't decided on prices yet. There's some other stuff too but I'll talk about that later.

[cyberguile]

kevin: should I pay you in dollars ? or in euros at the d-day rate ?

[muf]

I'll take any two OBSF buttons because I forgot to order SW-68s in my last Akihabarashop.jp order. I want to replace the microswitches in my Seimitsu start buttons.

[muf]

Dual angle is not going to happen unless Jago has a sufficiently fast PC with USB3. I was planning on using my Intensity Shuffle with a USB3 ExpressCard in my laptop, and according to Blackmagic staff that does not work as of yet, but they're "working on it".

[Rosti LFC]

If you'll mail me a JLF restrictor while I'm in the UK I'll mail you a cheque ;)

Or come see me :awe:

[colour_thief]

Surely low res stuff can work over USB2?

[muf]

Surely low res stuff can work over USB2?

That's the thing, as of now the Intensity Shuffle doesn't degrade its functionality gracefully when connected over a low bandwidth bus. 2.5Gb/s is more than enough for 8-bit 1080i half-duplex, but the Intensity also supports 10-bit formats and also streams BACK to the device for its outputs. In my opinion it's just short-sightedness (you want your device to do at least something on inadequate systems, not just fail completely), but it's good to know they're listening to their customers.

As far as I know, USB2 support is not even planned though, probably because of the way the device works internally. At 480Mb/s I'll also admit there isn't a lot of possible functionality left aside from 8-bit SD half-duplex capturing.

you can call me directly :

Zero sixO_Oquarante six:sneaky:quatre vingt huit:vsoixante et onze:awe:fifty

[PetitPrince]

Zero sixO_Oquarante six:sneaky:quatre vingt huit:vsoixante et onze:awe:fifty
That's for calling from France. If you're calling from another country, you should add 0033 and omit the first 0, so that K's number would begin with 0033646--- .

How will we share the food money and all ?

Hey Cyberguile, I have to apologize but unfortunately I didn't have room in my huge suitcases for TGM1. You can still buy it, and I'll ship it to you for free since I did offer that earlier. Payment in euros works fine for me.

so i need to know the exact arrival time of people those day !
who will be the first and who can welcome other people when i'n not here !!!

[cyberguile]

[PetitPrince]

I'll arrive at 16h33 on Thursday.

[KevinDDR]

I'll arrive at 21:31 on Thursday as seen above. Would it be best for me to make my own way from the train station, or will someone pick me up?

Alright, heading over to the train station in a little. See you guys tonight! Thanks again for moving the meeting date to this weekend. :D

[cyberguile]

Should I bring some xbox 360 games (bought futari 1.5 and espgaluda II last week)
Also, amnesia, is there enough game cube controllers ? Coz I can bring a couple with some games.

[KevinDDR]

That would be great.

(I'm on the train!!)

[Amnesia]

This is what I was missing, I knew I had made a mistake but I could not find what.
I won't bring any GC stuff, everything is in my new house too far from where I am unfortunately, I will just bring my face and my FSTE.

So today timc, muf, KevinDDR and myself arrived. I was pleasantly surprised that my spoken English is not as bad as I thought.

Jago's apartment is much bigger than the last one. We no longer have to switch the rooms from a sleep to play configuration anymore !
Anyway, we set up some arcade boards, but muf is still struggling to get his stuff working. We place them on a dedicated room. It feel a bit like a geeky Tetris command center, with so many computer, laptop, game board and other electronic stuff on.

Tomorrow we will try to get the things a little bit more organized.

[K]

Dude, don't break anything until i'm back from work ! :v

[Ai]

^^

Have a great time!

[cyberguile]

GREAT day yesterday
Didn't know I could play tetris so many hours before being too tired to continue :)
Got on TAP death a 496 in 3min18 and... 499 in 3min22 DAMN !
Couldn't manage the "get a M before going to sleep" challenge so tried the "get a M before breakfast" this morning but at 10h30, I was starving so I gave up :)

[KevinDDR]

Well, the meeting was honestly the best two days of my life so far. It was totally surreal to take 12 hours of trains to a foreign country to meet up with a bunch of European TGM players, and I have to say that you guys are all really really awesome. I'm so glad to have been a part of this community and I couldn't have been more pleased with how friendly everyone was at the meeting. Absolutely worth the nearly $1000 it cost me to attend. :D

For anyone wondering, I didn't break any records at the meeting. I did, however, get two more MMs in Ti.

[K]

voila c'est fini... (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-Aw1jEYI4w)

That was a great week end, so funny to see people so addicted to this f***ing game !

it give good hope to do it again !

i didn't took any pictures of the meeting but sure some other did, and i'm looking forward to see them !! :v
So tired now,and so much stuff to reorder in the appartment... this is harsh ! :sneaky:

[COL]

That was really cool! Thanks to everyone!

[PetitPrince]

Too lazy to make anything special (http://www.debriqueetdebloc.fr/pp/TetrisOrangina2010/)
