SEASON 8 - The Grand Opening

[headquarters]

Believe it or not "gentlemen" - our next session will be ep.1 of our EIGHT season.

I did have a splendid time playing S07E04 - I certainly hope you guys did as well - those of you who had reported in requests for the session had some luck. There was two skirmishes - one in a radiated zone, an airship vs helicopter dogfight and some cloak and dagger stuff that we didnt really get into before our time was up. We started quite early but didnt get into serious gaming before app 3 hours or more. Well thats how it goes. Next time it will start all the quicker due to the meticulous preparations.

Speaking of next time - I want to get a few dates settled as soon as possible.

If you hva a date you is available - post it.

[headquarters]

These are the weekeneds I can make it.

Or else its april. Please respond quickly so we can settle it straight away.

Who is in ?

[FMDeCorba]

10th sounds good for me - 17th is less certain..

On a completely different note, has anyone seen Africa Addio? It´s one of the most brutal collections of authentic footage I´ve been able to see through, it´s quite thought-provoking to say the least.

These mercenaries are reminiscent of many a character.

[FMDeCorba]

Africa Addio on Google videos

[headquarters]

one more and we have a go.

who will be the lucky one.?

[FMDeCorba]

Well, Johnny´s in, I spoke to him yesterday

That would be cool, but the more the merrier naturally!

[headquarters]

who is doing the hosting - ?

[headquarters]

I move to postpone til April.

1) Only 1 player signed up for sessions in February
2) This gives more time to prepare
3) A host has yet to materialize - even though DeCorba is willing.

Lets hear it.

[FMDeCorba]

I beg to differ: two players, yours truly & Johnny declared willing and able.

As for hosting, I can only restate my willingness - I was under the impression that you didn´t need further confirmation.

OK.

I was thought J-man would post his confirmation as this is after all protocol.

Let get back to you after checking my schedule out.

As for the rest of you - post your "attending/ not attending" ASAP.

[General Pain]

10th of feb.+weekend should be douable in schweigaards .

[FMDeCorba]

Seems we´re back to square one - although I really do appreciate your hospitality Pain jr., I kinda dislike the implication (given that I know you fairly well) that you would rather not play anywhere but your own place because it´s too much stress to shift your corpus outside your comfort zone
Imagine for a second that HQ had a similar attitude - then I seriously doubt we would have been in our 8th season..

[headquarters]

DeCorba
Pain
Devil
and yours truly.

As DeCorba really wants to host it I dont see why not. But as I am slow in getting my ducks in a row - I need to check finance/ticket/wife situation first and then I can confirm.

[Sanchez]

Will be in the Canari islands on the 10th
17th ok

Sorry for late reply

Big fan of deCorbas cabin in rural Norway
Can most probably organise fast one-way car transport from Oslo to deCorba for those who need it

[FMDeCorba]

You´re welcome of course - but does your car only roll in one direction? If that´s the case then my faith in german engineering has been severely undermined.

In other news, I now have a 6-man Römertopf™ !!

That means, of course, that the food will cook itself while we engage in extended flights of adolescent fantasy, a very rational distribution of time if you ask me.

[headquarters]

I am not going to make it the 10 - 12 of feb.



Sorry for the late feedback on this - hope nooen had too much trouble with arranging sparetime for this.

Will post new dates shortly.

[FMDeCorba]

Well, in the meantime there´s always rednecks on the internets:

And shouldn´t that suffice to jog the apocalyptic imagination, then perhaps this article will provide some inspirr :

[Rupert Willies]

Do we have any new dates up for consideration, or is it just a vague idea of some time in April?

[Sanchez]

14th and 21st of April work for me

[FMDeCorba]

Yah - anyone else?

have bar exams until mid april.

rounding it of with a 2 day bender session would be great

[headquarters]

Hows about this weekend ?

Sanchez is in.

Anybody else?
Who is hosting?

[Sanchez]

I nominate DeCorba as host and will participate on Saturday. For those of you coming by air I belive you can safely land at Rygge, in DeCorbas back yard.

[FMDeCorba]

Y´all welcome of course - but I won´t insist. I´m for whatever gets it off the ground, this has dragged on a bit too long.

Btw Sanchez, didn´t you use it as an argument that it would be easier to get two days off for nerdism if took place somewhere else? It would be nice to have you around for the initial rounds as well.

On a different note, although that´s probably not an option this time around, I suggest we get together at HQ´s place sometime during this fiscal - or shall we say geekal - year. That way, I can combine it with familial duties - and, if we manage to make it an extended weekend in season it can be set off with a day of duck hunting! Can you imagine a better combination - a dash of healthy outdoors activities to balance out the utter depravity that is sure to follow, not to mention the chance of getting tits de canard for dinner!

HQ - Can you imagine this, or does your mind clutter with the inevitable logistic challenges?

[General Pain]

Seems this date is not able 4 me.

[FMDeCorba]

Jeez Louise - are we going to through an entire quarter without playing at all?

[General Pain]

I've not missed a single session in 7+ years.

I think you could bear whitout me 4 a single session

[General Pain]

apr. 27-28 ? @ the SCHWEIGAARD BACHLERPAD

[headquarters]

these are the weekends possible for me in the neaR FUTURE

4 may - weekend

11. may - weekend

1. june weekend

as for the autumn session - I could definently see it at my place. We could definently do the duck hunt / session / canard

Lets get this settled.

[Sanchez]

I belive all of those should work for me
