I’m keeping my eyes peeled and my ears close to the ground (what a sight! :lol: ), having missed the June one.

I was just about to post asking about our next shindig. Sometime in August would be good to give time to rally support. So what Friday works best?
Aphra, this heatwave is slowly killing us all. After days of blistering heat, it rained for the first time in ages last night. I just had to go out and enjoy it. Now I have a cold. You just can’t win. :roll:

I don’t care when it is, but does it have to be in Dublin? :D

Can you suggest a place more central to all who might want to attend?

21/07/2006 at 1:20 pm #32681AnonymousInactive
Port Loaise or Athlone is right in the middle of the country. :P j/k
But seriously though? Why Dublin all the time? Most people only go to Dublin to work becuase there are no good jobs anywhere else. Why not some other city like Cork or Galway or something?
-
21/07/2006 at 1:27 pm #32682AnonymousInactive
Cos the shidigs are hap-hazzard at best. The fun is who will happen to get off work and show up. Plus most people have places to stay in Dublin, one way or another.
-
21/07/2006 at 1:36 pm #32683AnonymousInactive
Yeah okay, probably just ranting there in “I hate Dublin” mode.
I’ll try and make it to the next one.

Any update on this? Looks like the 25th of August isn’t going to work for everyone. Not sure if I’ll be free for any Fridays next month.
How about the 1st of September?

Em quick question, someone was talking about an MMO at the shindig where you pay to advance up levels or something to that extent. I was wondering what it was? Think it’s still in development but I can’t really remember…My memory isn’t as good as it used to be :P

Second Life? The MMO with the real world economy? Sounds abit crazy if you ask me… :? -
05/09/2006 at 5:03 pm #33377AnonymousInactive
Is that not the MMO with adult content….
-
05/09/2006 at 5:26 pm #33379AnonymousInactive
Not too sure, I’ve only heard the name being used in relation to the economy. Looking at it it looks like a “real life” MMO Sims.. :?

Anyway, wasn’t Second Life we were talking about. Nifty – Enlighten us!!

05/09/2006 at 6:53 pm #33382AnonymousInactive
14 hours left in the country and I’m here posting about MMO……
Ah well, the game is still in development, but I believe is in Beta by now. Last title I heard was Pax Britannica.
Roman Britain with a pricing structure thats supports both pay once, play forever (like guild wars) and pay more get more (second life).
Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m inexcusably sober for my last night on Irish soil.
I’ll be in the Mercantile on Dame St. if anyone is looking for a drink and to play some board games
