Madrid/Spain Polymeet, Spring 2007

[Dauphin]

You know, it's a funny one, but there is talk of the Northern European contingent of Poly descending on our Southern neighbours by way of meeting up in Spain for a Poly meet next Spring (probably Madrid).

As Ecthy is going to be in Caesaraugusta, he is all for this plan, and I'd vote Ecthy....why the hell not?

[Ecthy]

That should be in your sig not just that post

[Dauphin]

Erm, it is!

[Ecthy]

I'm talking about the voting thing.

[Zopperoni]

Why The Hell Not?

[Ecthy]

Spot on both of you

Now, Spain Polymeet 2007

[Niessuh]

We will receive you with our arms open wide

It won't be the first time there's a polymeet at Spain. We are a very friendly community here, I personally know several spanish posters.

Also, It is not the first time we receive apolytoners from other countries. i. e, Atahualpa meets Burroman at Granada last year:

At the same time, Wernazuma III came to Seville. I use to live here, a fully polymeet was organized to receive him. It was a sweet night.

Problem with spanish Apolytoners (and with Spain in whole) is a cronical lack of fluent english knowledge, reason why the spanish forum seems a ghetto. But most of us read the rest of Apolyton frecuently.
We write and admin. the official civ4 page in Spain:

And without any doubt we have the best single player civ tournament of the world

It can't be worse than the English lack of any foreign language ability, excluding the ability to say "Dos cerveza por favor".

[Niessuh]

Well, that could be enough for a while

[Zopperoni]

So, if you want to order eight beers, do you ask it four times?

On the meet tho, I quite fancy doing a bit of a road trip to Spain, meeting some of our Belgian and French members along the way.

[Gibsie]

sounds like a plan

[Dauphin]

I'm hoping that by travelling south enough I won't be mistaken for a local, only as a German.

(Yet another story: At the airport on Sunday the security guard was talking to everyone in English, until I got to the front of the queue and he starting speaking in German)

[Gibsie]

Well you do look kinda like I did when I was about 8 and went to Spain only to be confused for a German...
