    a few of us irc regulars have been talking about an actual mapcore convention of sort, where most mapcore people (at least from europe) would have the opportunity to meet each other, discuss games and drink till the kegs are empty.

    in this thread i would like to hear if there's actually more people than perhaps us 5-6 that want to do this, as well as perhaps set a date and hear about flight tickets; as the aim is to go where it's the cheapest for the average mapcorian.

    so far, our array of locations would be either in stockholm, copenhagen or london (largest congregation of mapcorians around those locations); however people should feel free to contribute new locations for price investigation.

    i am urging everyone in here (or at least those interested) to find out how much a return ticket is going to cost for a few days in, for starters, those 3 cities.

    hmmm.. sitting in a room with a bunch of guys that likes to play.... dont think so..

    So like working at Grin then only with a little more class

    it's just a couple of drinks with some guy's you've known for years....well ok maybe not you....ok see your point.

    Sadly i've known D3 like 4-5 years D: wouldn't mind kissing his silly gofik face~

    Btw flights out of London are about £100 return to either of those destinations. I'd imagine there about the same going to London. Only thing about London for those that don't live locally is hotel prices are stupid. Might be better picking a place just outside of London.

    hmm, there's only like 2 or 3 people I would like to meet from 'core - the rest of you are pretty gay >:U

    If Skjalg, Frie and Mino go then I'm in. If Mino can't make it then I'll settle for dux. But Only just.

    And London is my choice of venue but Sweden is fine too.

    i wouldnt say that bic. while it's true that europe is big, it isnt that hard to find and book a hostel or something together for say, 10 or 15 people. then find the nearest pub/bar and uh... start drinking

    that being said, prices from denmark to both the uk and sweden are pretty low (i.e. £10-£20 for a return ticket). anyone else having prices from other destinations feel free to post them.

    I was going to write down a bunch of destinations and prices, until I discovered the "more offers" button on the airberlin website. The amount of offers is absolutely tremendous, even if just for airberlin, the cheapest one when flying from Germany (I think, I gotta check Ryanair later).

    Just click on special offers, there are also more destinations than these 3 cities, but these ones are among the cheapest so we need to be realistic.

    Ok, one problem with Airberlin seems to be that they don't fly on the weekend and "sometimes" Fridays and Mondays are extraordinarily expensive, which won't make finding a proper date any easier.

    So far London Stansted seems to be the cheapest choice with most flights to me. Also - booze is cheaper than in Scandinavia which is to consider.

    As far as accommodations go, I haven't made many experiences, but hostels tend to be a bit shit and hotels pricey in Britain's capital.
