Assemblergames User Meeting in Germany

Dam about year too late, was living in Hamburg up till the start of the new year. Still least its an excuse to go back.

 

Was just offering a place in case the .de didnt have enough attendees.
Plus seeing the distances between members in Germany, going to Amsterdam would not make it that much further..
At least going to another country is regardless of meeting people or not more interesting then a nearby city in the same country, and when here i'm glad to show people around if wanted (I do it often with couchsurfing.com anyway)
So using the same terminology, congrads with your flame? :thumbsup:

 

if you make it a "conference" i ll arrange a trip to Holland

 

I don't think I need to make anything, my best guess is you will be showing up often regardless :thumbsup:

 

from december 27th till 30th I'll be in Amsterdam ;D thanks port187 for sharing this link: http://www.gameover.nl/. will try to visit this shop

 

I suggest to meet at the Retro Boerse in Bochum. This is also a good place to trade items!

 

Good idea, given our hobby and all.

 

Unfortunately the next Retro Boerse in Bochum is in May 2011...

I'm all for it - given it's not too far out, I'm close to Cologne.

Likely we bounced into each other at the last one.... I've been there.

 

Munich here. Would be in for a meeting.

 

With the help of www.mitfahrgelegenheit.de we can organize cheap rides through the whole country (and also from abroad and back). Cheaper than www.bahn.de anyway ;-)

 

ASSEMbler: behave , I have met alphagamer, and I can personally vouch for him, and I think he is a great guy.

 

I hope to meet you again sometime

 

Damn straight mate

 

With so much guy love before my eyes, I can't resist assuring you my participation on an eventual meet

I am located pretty much in the middle, somewhere near Hannover. I travelled to Munich once for a meet and it was a nightmare. 4hrs of trainride and 120 Euro for a ticket... sorry, but that would be too far for me. Berlin, maybe... Hamburg, definitely and Cologne - probably.

 

GDC(-Europe) and/or GamesCom would make an appealing "point of meetage"

Don't you think? Would be kinda "on topic"

 

That'd distract too much from the meetup part imho. What that would boil down to is meeting up with some people you don't know that are also interested in games, then going to the con as usual, only burdened with said bunch of people to keep track of...
One could pretty much just as well go there and chat up some random strangers instead. Shouldn't be too hard to find some game enthusiasts around a game con.

So far I like port187's suggestion best, but I don't really understand, much less speak, Dutch, and being forced to speak in tongues would take much of the fun out of it for me :shrug: If anyone came up with something similar (shop/museum visit, maybe some sightseeing, then on to drugs, blackjack & hookers :033 in Germany I'd be in. Can't think of any good locations myself though.

I'm in the Hannover area too, and I just so happen to be travelling in the general direction of Munich (though not quite as far - somewhere near Erlangen) tomorrow. Can't do much about the travel time (though that'd probably be much more fun if we travelled in groups), but the price can be reduced significantly by keeping an eye out for special offers - I paid ~€140 including the return ticket, and with some tradeoffs could have reduced that even more to ~€115. Which is still expensive but bearable.

 

would vote for Munich too. I know at least 2 other members which are located around Munich.

 

Someone able to host us in Munich?

I would be able to host around 10 people or so in Cologne.

 

i'm in Berlin now - home is still somewhere between hannover and the ruhrgebiet.

i'm a bahncard50 owner so i'd probably be down for anything. amsterdam sounds good. cologne sounds good - nobody suggested berlin, so i won't bring that up. i wouldn't want munich though, pretty much becausei hate that city

woulöd be nice to see other members, like babu from sweden and some guys from the uk, too!

and twimfy!!!
