I'm interested, but I don't know what my ability to commit would be. I think April and May are both risky for me.

Is this something anyone wants to do? Unsure how many people who are interested in the CaliMeet would be in the SoCal area, but I think it would be quite nice.

I wouldn't mind doing it sometime in my life but given that I'm arriving wherever near midnight I probably wouldn't fit into an organized schedule.

So far the plan is for me to bring
*Sentinels of the Multiverse (three boxes of it <_< )
*Carcassonne
*Ra
*Argent: The Consortium
*Five Tribes (which I placed an order for over the weekend in a fit of irresponsibility)
*a yet-to-be-determined plushie

and miscellaneous other things like clothes, I guess.

If you could bring Ra that would save me some baggage room. Going down to six boxes, etc.

I only have the base game myself. I like the expansions though.

Hanabi (with dominoes)

Oh right, I have the original 7 Wonders if no one's bringing that.

I mean
1) while I'm assuming sapo and the nerd didn't ask for the location, the whole "don't give the address out" thing was listed twice in the e-mail and again in the first post
2) has it occurred to anyone how awkward it might be for everyone (except Iece) to have someone who everyone only knows as Iece's fucktoy around? On a social level it seems like it defeats the purpose.
3) posts like those kind of color the entire event. Like, oh... it's THAT kind of meet. Woulda liked to have known that before signing up.

I don't know any of the people in question so this isn't anything personal, but this is the sort of thing I'd expect to hear from some of my more awful college roommates.

As it stands, I'm not an organizer and I'll take full responsibility for how I personally enjoy this experience, so the show can go on however.

We have a plan to get the otter drunk and then convince him to capriciously ban someone. The idea is that once he stops, he can't stop. (bet'cha can't ban just one)

But nobody tell him about this ahead of time, okay?

My record in this Chinese Bang! game:

I'm guessing everyone else is having the most fun they can while groaning in pain as they shuffle the deck for the seventh time.

I'm on a train.

I'm going to echo what a bunch of people have said - it's hard to guess what a meet will be like until it's happening all around you. This turned out well, I think. A lot of people I wasn't sure about turned out to be really great, and there are a whole bunch of you I'd totally hang out with a lot given the opportunity.

I don't know what it would take to get that opportunity, though. We could use another commune.

Argent: The Consortium took 30 minutes to explain. We started at around 9 or 10 AM, and we finished at either 12 PM or 1 PM. Despite claiming that they couldn't possibly win, BBmolla won four votes for Chancellor and Vi had three.

I had four and Influence. I thought for sure I had lost, but etc.

Also you locked the magical whimsical astronomy tower

I wonder if the expansions allow this.

I mean, technically you're not playing as any of the tribes, but etc.

Also the Ra game involved me getting like one tile after the first Epoch. Somehow last place was still contested.

I've only done laser tag twice now, and both times I was outnumbered x.x

The adults were good at taking the high ground and sniping, but the kids traveled in packs. I don't think any of the other team noticed that after they caught me, I would blaze around that third of the arena to catch them from behind. Nope, as soon as I went out of sight, I stopped existing. Actions have consequences.

I was Jester in that picture. I have no idea how score works in this game.

You won Five Tribes through the power of well-shuffled merchandise.

Splendor was the one with the gems.
