sven666, have you mention the FREE hot dog?
Let see,
Flight to sweden: 50€
Hotel: 20€

That means if you eat 70 hot dogs you are home free...

I wish I could be part of those shmupmeets, they seems to be a lot of fun.

Organize one in Brazil is too difficulty, I think our contry is bigger than the whole Europe, heh :) . You guys can travel around your countries without much money or effort.

i would really like to come and try calculate finances & schedules.

technically it's possible : France southwest Pau-londres stansted, take some hours in london town counting 2h30 for bus travels... then stansted-gotheburg the friday evening, if we could stay a day more around (trying to chat or play) until sunday evening and return to marseille then lyon , i must absolutely be at 1pm last in lyon the 19th monday.

(what a trip it would be ^^) But the problem in these multiple steps is ryanair reliability (remembering you had too this unlucky problem, sven) and if ryanair cancels i will have very hard times to get a correct price for returning in france in time...

when and where from are you flying out caincan ? I thought I couldn't come because the only flights leaving from france seem to be either too early or too late for this meet (wednesday or sunday).

edit : oh you're leaving from london. I don't think I can make it myself from france unless I get permission to skip classes on wednesday + thursday + friday without being marked absent (my stupid university keeps track of attendance and you have to repeat the year if you skip too often, and I already reached the maximum skipped classes :p). That would also mean 3 days in Gotenburg by myself before the meet but I wouldn't mind that at all I guess.

:!: promotheus, i'm taking Ryanair Pau-London (30E) the friday at 10am ! i dont sacrifice anything except the friday so. then i take some hours in london between arcades seeing things, and re-taking London-Goteburg friday evening (60E), then sunday evening, i take Goteburg-Marseille (30E) then Marseille-Lyon in train for my studies (i really need to be there on monday 1pm).

if you study things, it would be perhaps better financially speaking for you to take a train to Pau then join the french euro-trip :lol: ferris bueller's day off ?. you can make it 8)

this whole thing will be goooood to remember... thanks to Sven666 and his pals and some other surprises for this trip :)

lol that's wacky but it would allow me not to skip classes at all except for the friday class, the one class that I can skip safely.

What if ryannair fucks us up though ? >.<!

adventure without risk is not adventure and doesnt make memories and feelings :idea: . this weekend has some unexpected things it's sure. but you'd have same possible troubles and at 2 we can be stronger . all this, shmups, feelings is about : adrenalin !!

if this time i go there. it's also part of your past speechs and trips you wanted to attend ! :wink: , so use & feel the force, ... and be a rare european one to attend this too ! never seen "pekin express" ? :lol:

impossible n'est pas français :!:

eheh well unfortunately I checked the train times and prices and to be in pau on time I'd need to go thursday evening and pay around 100€, just for the trip to pau. Added the 90€ for planes and ~90€? again for the trip back from marseilles to dijon, that's almost 300€ + hostels price. That's too expensive for just a week end :[

I'd like to come, really, but not for that many € and such a risky trip (I don't know exactly how unreliable ryannair is but I'm quite defiant ~_~). So I don't think I'll be coming. Sorry guys~

Göteborg eh? That's just an 3h trainride from here. It's a pitty I won't get full military discount on an international travel. That would have ben something like the competition entry fee. Nah only 2 trains a day in weekends anyway.

Was just Ceph being thigh slappingly hillarious. Although the fact the threads he bumped are still being discussed would seem to be indicitive of an inordinate amount of Ketsui interest :shock:

I saw this only now. Of course I couldn't afford the trip anyway.

To compensate I post this for all the 'goa gubbar' out there. Fast forward to about 2.13.

yeah its a shame you couldnt make it.

no real records broken.. i broke som personal ones on games i havent played much (Futari BL 590mil, galuda2 70mil, MMP 68mil) but the most impressive of the meet was swedish player "emphatic" 1CCing Rygar with a score of 4,5mil, i think caincan caought this on tape? :)
