An update.

Without warning, my possibility to send private mail at CivFanatics has also been disabled. This happened minutes after I sent absolute proof of my innocence in one particular case that had been stressed (I still had a save at that point) to a friend who was questioning Cracker. My friend never received the mail.

And now, Cracker has openly stated (like it is something to be proud of) that he has not only been monitoring my every PM, but also my normal e-mail!
Of course lying about the contents, but that is not the point.

Is someone allowed to see my e-mail, 99,99% of which is even unrelated to Civ, just because I am a member of a forum where he is a moderator?

Is this what the world is becoming??

How can he read your email? Does it go through the CivFan server or something?

since when do you need good weather for a bbq? best bbqs are held in snowstorms

Good question, BFM.

If you know someone's e-mail address there are ways.

But it can just as well be bluff on Cracker's part - he has not backed up his statement by revealing any content, but then again, he never backs up any of his statements.

Hi guys,

I'm sorry I did not check my PM's earlier (i am graduating at the UT in Enschede and very busy with that).

I think it is a wonderful idea to meet each other in person. Kudos to Locutus!

About the location:
Maybe a more centralized city like Utrecht (or something)would be nice for everyone. I don't now if it takes much from the time in the train, but for our Belgian friends it would. (for me as well, but that would be very selfish to openly admit it ). But Amsterdam is fine as well.

I am available from the 24th of august (my graduation is on thursday 21st and after that I will be druk for a couple of days and before I am too busy with reports and stuff).

Hope hearing something soon!

[Locutus]

*bump*

(Not as big a bump as I thought it would be, thanks to Major Guz )

Zop and I just came back from the London Meet and are eager for the next one (well, I am anyway)


Since we've had the fewest cancellations for September 6th, I think we can safely set the meeting for that date (Sorry BFM, can't make everyone happy ).

For location, I think we should stick to Amsterdam: several non-Dutch people have indicated (here or elsewhere) that they'd like to visit Amsterdam sometime anyway, and that this would be a good excuse. It's true that other places would be more central, but the most central place would probably be Den Bosch or Gorinchem -- and surely noone wants to meet in either of those? (Although Den Bosch isn't too bad...) And I could be wrong, but I think that Amsterdam is much easier to reach from Belgium (read: Belgium west of Antwerp and Brussels) than Utrecht, at least by train.

Does anyone know a specific place (bar/pub/whatever) in Amsterdam that would be suitable for a Meet like this?


So, with the time and place set and less than a month away, how certain is it that everyone will come? I for one will certainly be there.

Edit: this list is no longer up to date. Check the last page of the thread (counting at 50 posts per page) or the very first post.

[Zopperoni]

I'm sure I can show up.

[Mercator]

I don't know yet...

On the other hand (Hueij), it's becoming more and more probable that I'm going to Lowlands. But considering I still don't have a job (stupid, lazy me), that would mean I will be flat broke after that.

[Locutus]

Merc,
Well, if we meet in some bar or whatever in Amsterdam, the Meet shouldn't have to cost you anything


Because it's been a while since I sent out the original PM to all prominent Dutch/Belgian posters, it seemed like a good idea to reevaluate the list. And I've found another dozen or so people who (now) qualify as prominent Dutch/Belgian posters and have sent them a PM as well.

If anyone knows any other posters who might be interested in this thread, please contact them or let me know so I can contact them:

(dannubis > doesn't allow PMs/emails to be sent to him, so I couldn't contact him; but if anyone knows how to contact him...)

[Maniac]

Since I received a second PM on this matter, I guess I'll respond. Unfortunately I can't attend such a meeting for several reasons: I will be terribly busy the beginning of September, I only know few Dutch posters more or less (Lemmy, DBTS, S. Kroeze), and I don't have a clue how I could get in Amsterdam anyway. Perhaps in a few years I might come though. But in any case; thanks for asking.

[Panag]
