[hiplop]

do it reck

[Haschel Cedricson]

It is looking like the dates for this are going to have to be in

August

, as my wife will murder me if we do it in July. Ideally we would like to do this August 9-13, but if a different weekend works better for most people then we can find another AirBnb.

[DeasVail]

I think Aug 9-13 would work okay for me.

Isn't this a much shorter timeframe than the July dates?

[Sephiroth]

Its now 5 days instead of like 10

[racefan12]

Survivormeets are traditionally five days; I think the dates in the OP were just the dates that the Airbnb was available

[Haschel Cedricson]

That is correct.

[Radja]

I should be able to make that work

[Sephiroth]

I was thinking that 10 days seemed a little long

[Skelda]

I'm like super interested. Will let you know for sure when it gets closer.

[BROseidon]

Yeah the schedule for a Survivormeet is:

Day 1: People arrive/a few rounds in the evening
Days 2-3: Survivor
Day 4: Decompress
Day 5: People leave

[Adorabebs]

August is better for me anyways. Once I start my job, I'll request the time off.

[hiplop]

ill beat you all ANY TIME ANY WHERE except peg

[DeathNote]

^ I wanna be a goat to that guy.

[Cephrir]

It's a fun ride ngl

Alright, so the house that we were looking at is now booked. :-/

Malkon, Tanis, and I have been scouring Airbnb looking for a new option. We have a few, but they all come with different pros and cons.

OPTION 1:

THIS PLACE
Says It Hosts: 20
Cost: $480/night
Cost Per Person*: $150

Pros: Near airport, cheap, spacious, includes sauna, pool table, ping pong table, foosball
Cons:

Requires a five-night rental.

That would make the dates August 9-14. Technically in Washington.

Picking this house would require one of the following:

a) Spread the game out.

Start Survivor Friday night when we get there. Add more time between challenges and Tribal Council. Last day is decompress/board games/whatevs.

b) Have an extra Fun day.

Start Survivor Friday night when we get there. Keep a similar schedule as Survivormeet II, with FTC ending on Sunday Night. Monday is decompress/board games/whatevs. Tuesday is more of that, or if people want to go do touristy things in Portland they can do that. Day not mandatory if you have to leave to go home.

OPTION 2:

THIS PLACE
Says It Hosts: "over 26 comfortably"
Cost: $578/night:
Cost Per Person*: $173

Pros: On a lake, hot tub, large yard, ping pong, pool table, two miles away from the beach/casino, can potentially mean a larger game
Cons: All the way in Lincoln City, expensive

OPTION 3:

THIS PLACE
Says It Hosts: "a party of 20 nicely"
Cost: $510/night
Cost Per Person*: $113

Pros: Cheap, 8 acres, house has weird floor plan with basically a "suite" containing a living area and a bigass bedroom with a ton of beds, and then a bunch of bedrooms and a living area outside of the "suite", lake, Frisbee golf on site, fire pit, continental breakfast
Cons: Kitchen is limited, house has weird floor plan, owners live downstairs and have quiet hours at 11:00 on weekends and 9:00 on weekdays.

There are other Airbnbs, but most of them are either way too expensive or don't really have room to accommodate two tribal areas. If it was up to me I really like Option 1b, but this is about what works for all of you. Please give me your thoughts.

*Cost Per Person based on the assumption of 16 players and 6 mods/crew.

[Malkon05]

Just to add a note, for option 2, yes it is a little pricier, but it does give us the timeline we originally wanted which I would consider a pro, and if we can get enough people committed, we could run an 18-20 person game no problem and the price goes down significantly per person, maybe even cheaper than option 1.

So just don't let the above figure throw you off and please give honest feedback

[BROseidon]

Option 3 with the quiet hours is a very bad idea, although 8 acres of space to use would be awesome.

[Radja]

As someone with a lot of travel time I like the idea of an extra day in option 1.

I agree with bro on option 3.
