Polymeet in Berlin during August 2006

Ecthy · August 28, 2006, 02:44

Last night I beat the 2 of them in a Civ2 match, outproduced them badly after 5 turns.

PH didn't even start exploring before his first phalanx was finished

Not sure what you mean but Og brought a present for the host which was a very good bottle of Bulgarian wine

we both had a good time, got to poland and lost the directions to the campsite before we had left the airport....oops.

bought HOI2 +xpack for like 8 quid. Its mostly likely going to be in Polish, might need some help in the translation.

its crazy cheap here. Looks like a good spot for a euro poly con.

Ecthy, see if you can't find somewhere that sells Adnam's Broadside.

thanks to andy for hosting the meet had a fab time - hope you all made it out of that shisha place alive!
Did anyone else take any pictures??
It was a funny one.....

I planned to come, but work lasted longer than I thought on saturday and after that I was simply too tired....hope y'all had a good time though.

I got some Bulgarian "Cabernet Sauvignon" Special Selection 1994 instead of rakia.

I was afraid that they might think I am trying to poison them. I was not mistaken considering what FreeFallin' told me about her first Rakia (Croatian Slivovitsa) experience

There is no way that Poland beats Bulgaria in prices. We also have better resorts.

It is also closer to Greece

Vote Bulgaria for PolyCon '08

Ecthy · August 29, 2006, 04:59

Yeah, if we're going to get a cheap mega-thing it should be in Bulgaria

VetLegion · August 29, 2006, 05:50

Bulgaria would be cool to visit

VetLegion · August 29, 2006, 05:53

But why '08, that's when the Olympics are and I'm going to Beijing, so I'll probably not have any money left.

Let's do it '07 or something.

Ecthy · August 29, 2006, 05:54

The '07 meet is already in Spain.

Ecthy · August 29, 2006, 05:56

Still waiting for pics from Zopperoni

Zopperoni · August 29, 2006, 06:18

Sir Og took the photos, not me. I only took photos of the BMX guys in front of the Brandenburger Tor.

... unless you wanted to see those

Ecthy · August 29, 2006, 06:29

Did I not ask you to take a proof pic when we were in the Spanish place?

Zopperoni · August 29, 2006, 07:02

Ehm, IIRC, it was fine to use Og's camera...

Sir Og · August 29, 2006, 07:37

Bulgaria '08 is the PolyCon

.

We should make a warm up Polymeet in Bulgaria next year. I will make a more specific proposal/presentation later.

Sir Og · August 29, 2006, 07:41

My pictures will be ready Thursday or Friday.

Snotty · August 29, 2006, 22:04

Poland was nice, but wet. very civilized. had a few chats with old men who were probably drunk and we didnt speak each others language. good times

The advantage of Poland is that its in the EU, which means you can bring back as much cheap good quality vodka as you can carry tax free

Heresson · August 29, 2006, 23:05

You should have visited me and brought me a gift. Or at least sent me a gift. Or at least put your money on my bank account.

Sir Og · August 30, 2006, 02:29

Bulgaria will be EU country from January 2007 as well.

Take that Poland

Snotty · August 30, 2006, 03:07

Then it would indeed be an honour to descend on your country and cart away all your cheap alcohol...err I mean welcome you to the EU

wizzair prices to Sofia are at WTFBBQ low prices at the moment, but you can only book up to march 2007. If we are holding the meet in sofia that puts the chances from hmm maybe to yes definately

Ecthy · August 30, 2006, 03:15

Og paid more for his flight to Berlin than all of you Brits together. Talk about a screwed price system

Provost Harrison · August 30, 2006, 10:07

Home at last (well, I have been for a little while actually but have just got around to coming to poly). Thankyou for the great time everyone. And BeBro:

Snotty · August 30, 2006, 10:21

to be fair I wouldnt hesitate to blow you lot out if I had had a hard day

Provost Harrison · August 30, 2006, 10:22

F**k you too

Snotty · August 30, 2006, 10:30

hey Rich, I just wanted to apologize for snapping at you about the necklace thing, you accidentaly pushed the wrong button and I saw red

you can take the piss out of me for pretty much anything though

Provost Harrison · August 30, 2006, 10:33

Whatever it was, it must have been after a few drinks, because I can't remember

Snotty · August 30, 2006, 10:42

ok then its all good

in future I should plan my trip so I dont have to get up at 4am the following morning to catch my flight. Might see the night through to the end then

Ecthy · August 30, 2006, 11:16

Now that everyone's back home let me say it was a pleasure to be the coolest person on a table with all of you.

I might have been quieter at times than I usually am but that's with recent trouble rather than you guys. Had a good laugh on the Friday and Saturday, rest of the time was with PH

Hope we get that Spain thing done.
