CTP2 Fan Convention?

[Aias]

Hi all,

I was just wondering if there would be enough interest in perhaps having a get together of CTP2 fans. I think it would be great to have players to talk about mods, ideas, strategies, etc.

Granted, I know that many of you live in Europe, South America, etc. I'm sure there is some way that the expense could be written off on your taxes, irrespective of where we may have it!

I just think that it could be a lot of fun to be able to put a face to all of the people we've be conversing with on the forums all these years.

While it may be difficult to pull off, I was wondering if anyone was interested. If there is an interest, than perhaps a few of us could get the ball rolling.

What do you think?

I would love to organize a CtP(2) convention but the problem is that CtPers live all over the world. Getting even a few of them together would be very difficult. Most of the active posters here on Apolyton seem to be from Europe (especially Britain), so a European convention would have the best chances of being successful. But considering that the traveling time and expenses would still be considerable for most people (regardless of where such a convention would be held), that's probably not gonna work either.

However, from time to time generic Apolyton conventions are being organized all over the world (well, in Europe, North America and Australia anyway). Threads about such conventions can usually be found in the Apolyton/Community and Off Topic forum. You may want to check those out...

I reckon our best bet of any sort of internationalism is probably joining the 'poly meet at the Olympics.

That would give us something to do as well, and lessen the pain at spending so much money just to meet "some guys off the internet"

Indeed Not a chance in hell I'm gonna pay 3 times the usual rate for hotels/airplane tickets/etc just for a 'poly meet

If they ever organized a big international meet in Southern Europe (Barcelona, Rome?) or some other nice yet affordable place (both to travel to and to stay), I might be persuaded to combine a 'poly meet with a vacation or weekend trip...

A only CTP2active poster guy from south america cant even think about this kind of things.

You forget about Alexmn, and M07hM4n and hakeem_rj (or whatever his name was)

And I think we used to have some guy from Paraguay or Peru or someplace here too, but that was a while ago (like, 2 years or something )

Oh well, I guess if there are some CTP fans at an Apolyton convention, we probably wouldn't take up too much room anyhow!

Actually there were many other brazilians. Like BRA_TiTaN, JJZ, Alexnm and others but I was the only one to post here in the CTP2 forums frenquently is me. Of course the newbie M07hM4n is very active. And i dont mean to understimate him. He seems like a very nice guy and very motivated.

Dont remember other south america guys except one from argentina that posted here a couple of times. But i believe thre were.

You sure ? Some people here are geeks, and geeks take up damn lots of room.

I am exploring all the other forums for once. And I see how prolific your posts are, realize you're just getting all the +1s you can, so figure I can be part of the fun!
