Shmupmeets Scotland UK

Post by markedkiller78 »

I know that I don’t post on here very often, but I would be up for arranging a shmup meet in Scotland at my house ;). I appreciate that there are very few members here that are from Scotland & I only have 2 cabs, but if there was enough demand I could arrange a met at my house?

It’s 30 miles from Edinburgh & 20 from Glasgow. I could accommodate a few overnight in the house & plenty in the garden.

What do you think?

There are a number of peeps from Killercabs that know me well, but this is just an idea. If there was enough interest then I we could take it further?

Cheers

Mark

No disrespect dude, but the chances of that happening are 1 to the highest score on Gigawing. if you know some members living within scotland, then you wanna pm they for an invite. personally if i were in the position of heading there, it would be to relax and enjoy the sites, and not stress myself for 30-40mins on a videogame.

Mills - You got up on the wrong side of the bed today didn't you?! Home Meets are fun and there are a number of players in Scotland. In fact this site was created by a Scotsman - Malc.

As for your comment on visiting the sites - yes of course! We encourage that too in London Meets.

So What! the fact that the post has only 3 replies just goes to show that no one else is interested. if i didnt post a reply, you wouldnt have even bothered. so get off your high-horse.

Thanks for the feedback :P

I know that it would be pointless for anyone to Travel a huge distance. It was more of an invite to anyone already in Scotland.

I don't post a hell of a lot here, but I know there are a few peeps from Scotland that also post over at Killercabs. Just thought I would put the offer out there. Spread a little love and all of that :)

If you ever do come up to Scotland I would recommend taking in the sites over playing video games at mine too.

I'm off on holiday next week, but hopefully we can look into September sometime.

There’s a Train Station not too far from the house & couple of the guys over at Killer cabs are from Edinburgh so hopefully we can get something sorted.

I’m still waiting on the arrival of my new cab, so the timing could be quite nice :)

Hadn't even noticed any other Scottish posters on the site till now. Though most likely couldn't make any kind of meet due to brokage and availability issues.

:D. I fucked off to France that week 8)

The new cab should be here next week (it's been an age to get it here) and I have the last weekend in Sept off. So if anyone faincies the last Sat in Sept?

Since there aren't that many Scots (or wanabe Scots here) it would be nice to keep it quite small for the first one :) I've got a weekend off in Nov too, so anyone fancies it lemmie know.

I might even buy a new pcb :twisted:

Name your weekend & well see what can be arranged. I no longer work Fridays, so I'm sure I can smothe it over with Mrs Markedkiller :)

I'm resigned to not tate'ing the AWSD after I necked my other cab :evil: so it will remain Hori & SF3.3 will be there.

Try brushing up on your SFZ3 skills though. Although I've not touched it in months, I'll still fuck your shit up with Gouki :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

I don't mate. I think we'll have enough to keep us busy, but maybe next time, unless you are a master at it and want to school me :twisted:

I'm not home the 1st weekend in Nov, but I am every week after. Lordstar will be heading up form Liverpool (as will I as I'm working there at the mo) so we'll see what suits him & take it from there.

Ketsui is good, hard as nails though.
