Don't really want to leave IBL installed for ages like when I have left stuff before... Its a fun game though!

ill6 - You don't have to put a game in for more than 1 weekend. Bob comes in on Fridays and Sundays from 6pm.
Install on Friday, remove on Sunday.
I wouldn't want your board burning up in the arcade for more than 3 days or 1 week & the removal is simple, I could even do it for you if you're not around on Sunday.

Lol, why?

Because he moved a chair, iirc.

Wow, some real vandalism going on in there. -_-;;
They'd probably give you free credits if you go in and graffiti the walls with spraypaint.

Yep, the security guards in the Troc don't know the difference between a Gamer and a sub-16yr old troublemaker (many of whom regularly cause the whole Trocadero to be closed for the day, due to troublemaking for no reason behaviour).
Anyway, a few weeks before London Meet II, masamune wanted to move a chair, & this security guard refused then barred masamune for being so impudent as to having asked for a chair to be moved.

So, on the day, we're playing a bit of Raiden III and this same security guard calls all the other guards down to eject masamune.
We argue, get nowhere & make note of the guy's face

I would be interested in coming along and as long as I get enough notice should be able to make it find as I can stay at a friends in London.

It would be nice to finally put a face to a few of you

No you!

Anyway, guys, how is the 24/25 Feb weekend for you all? I/we need to book asap, just to be 100% sure that I'll be there ^__^

Well, if no one objects, we'll make the date of the main meet the 24th + 25th Feb (plus a few days before and after for those who want to stick around and do stuff like shop, see the sights and visit other peeps in the city).

All in agreement?

I agree. Now I only have to convince my boss to give me a few days off.

DEL · Post by **DEL** » Tue Nov 28, 2006 10:23 am

Yes, friday 24th Feb - Sat 25th.

Now I've gotta get working in earnest on Casino.
Ketsui is guaranteed & in good working order on a sit-down cab.
Mush is guaranteed.
I'll put my Batrider in the R.F.Jet stand-up cab in the back & get Bob to fix the joystick.
The 4th cab is now the problem, as there are no other vert screens in Casino worth a damn!....The 4th cab should be for a new game, such as Ibara Black Label.

Trocadero - Strikers 1945 is fine in a candy cab for a Mills replay recording.
Raiden III joysticks are playing up a bit, but Mills is point blanking the top of the screen for the whole of stage 1, which looks kinda snazzy!
(Again, good for replay recording

)

It's like being in a jury.
"All those in favor of voting 'guilty' raise your hands and say 'aye'." ^_-

Anyway, those dates sound fine, so I've changed the first post of the thread with some more info. I think it's best to decide a meeting time and place a little closer to the day, which will make it easier for everyone to get together.

Obviously some peeps will be coming a day or two earlier than the proposed weekend, therefore if people want to meet up earlier, it'd be handy to have contact info so we can keep in touch (handy if some people get lost on the way or something). Again, that'll be sorted out closer to the day.

Finally, any London residents have any decent maps (printable preferred) for overseas and non-London visitors to use? Directions would be nice, it's been a couple of years since I was last down in London, and while I can find my way around the city centre by memory no problem, give me a street name and I'm lost. ^_-

AYE!
First of all let's confirm that date. The second thing is book the flight. Done that, we can immediately start thinking about an earlier meet up

Update: ARC has PM'd me for his Ketsui board back, as he wants to play it over Christmas. I will take Ketsui out of Casino on Sunday.

What replaces it.....will be a mystery.

Hope it will be in the arcade again in february... No problem if otherwise, this is just my hope

Post by **Icarus** » Wed Nov 29, 2006 8:59 pm

February is still ages away yet, so there's plenty of time to decide what to put in there.

ill6 · Post by **ill6** » Wed Nov 29, 2006 11:21 pm

I wonder if we should put some hori's or some horizontal orientation verts on some of the other cabs for the weekend if thats possible? That way people can play some Mars Matrix or Border Down while the DDP DOJ Black Label and DDP Campaign Versions are occupied if they want.

This is the only thing that could make us sure to have BR1 with us

I made that bit up (sadly)

DEL · Post by **DEL** » Thu Nov 30, 2006 10:23 pm

ARC has offered to put Ketsui back in the arcade before the Feb Meet. Alternatively, he could install DDP DOJ.

Or

You name it...EspGaluda 2....wot?

I'm open to suggestions....particularly from you ill6.

ill6 · Post by **ill6** » Thu Nov 30, 2006 11:24 pm

No point asking me... I am shit at all of them... Happy to supply the boards though.

Thanks for the offer! We would only need 1 board I reckon, and only for the short time around the Meet. Plus, never worry about skills at meets, just come down and have fun.
ill6 - Seeing as you don't have the Campaign Edition, what new'ish boards do you have available? (1 only would be picked from the list).

Smraedis · Post by **Smraedis** » Fri Dec 01, 2006 12:02 pm

It'd be very nice to play ESPGaluda 2

mulletgeezer · Post by **mulletgeezer** » Fri Dec 01, 2006 12:39 pm

Espgaluda 2 in Kakusei over mode would be quite good for a Namako team contest actually - I had a couple of games that way after seeing Twe's challenge - it makes for quite a short, simple and fun game, unlike playing the game properly for score using the zeshikkai mode which takes much longer and is really dull to watch I think.
