The i43 Prelim Thread

[Isphera]

Since this thread normally gets earlier and earlier, and gets done by someone different each year, I think it's my turn to have a crack. Now since my attendance was mainly hinging on the Reading Lineup, which was released (officially, it was leaked hours ago) about 5 mins ago, I can now say:

I'm going to i43. Sort of.

Since Friday looked awesome, I have a day ticket for Reading (which in all fairness, still doesn't mean I'll go, I may sell it on), but for EAS and the rest of the weekend, I will be at Newbury. If you are unsure where it'll be - the forums on MPUK state it will be on Bank Holiday Weekend at Newbury. So clear your calenders, after missing the last two due to some really questionable decision making two years ago and Reading Festival last year, the big man returns to Newbury this year.

Anyone else planning to join me?

PS - I won't sit on the end :P

[Calneon]

I'll probably go.

[VoX]

Should be going, along with a few others I think (Nick, Joe, and possibly two other RL mates)

[Kiliv]

sure im going

[Chazlene]

I'll probs be obliged to go, Setsoru said he was interested in going again.

[CILLIT BANG]

can only go if christ drives train is over 100 quid

[CILLIT BANG]

chris* lol best typo ever

[Isphera]

Lol, I'm sure he'll appreciate that. If worst comes to worst, get a train to Coventry and I'll pick you up from there.

[ez64]

Yes yes yes yes yes

........I might come :D

[Vicious Horizon]

I'm not sitting on the end.

If I am, I'm gonna rage this thread, shout abuse then leave the community forever. But keep the ATK tags for 2 months.

[CILLIT BANG]

if i go and have to sit on the end i will make you watch 1 man 1 jar endlessly .... and kill your familys

[Colonel Mitch]

I will most certainly be going.

Frederick theres a CHANCE i wont be bringing Scottish friends after all in which case i would PROBABLY be able to take you.

[Chazlene]

Hey guys why don't we just rearrange our desks in a circle.

[Hutch]

I've got a full blown weekend ticket for Reading, am ok with the lineup there, and might be getting paid for being there. Sorry. Though to be honest I don't think i'll be missed. :P

Looks like im at the end if hutch isn't going. i don't mind at all :D

[Vicious Horizon]

inb4 Hutch realises his mistake on saturday morning at 3am, when someone pukes on his tent, someone throws their own shit at him and the bands can't play live.

[Hutch]

That reminds me Vicious, if a girl asks you if you want to see their tattoo on their arse at a festival don't say yes, because for me it read "Now you've read it, Kiss it". Also, theres just as much chance that someone will vomit at i43 on your goddamn PC after chugging energy drinks and pizza all day. I for one felt ill after i34.

[Chazlene]

Sounds alright to me.

Nah, It would be great if you came - I want a Wii Boxing rematch :D

Or do what I did for i40 and come say hi on the Thursday at EAS for a few hours.

Overnight FedEx yourself and your gear.

[Isphera]

Just made up a list of people wanting to go, and if all the kinks are worked in travel plans and friends, we are looking at about 15 people already, and some people havent even replied yet.;

List as it stands:

Oricalcos
Calneon
VoX (+ Nick, Joe etc.)
Kiliv
Chazlene
Setsoru
Vicious Horizon
Chalex (hasn't replied, but I'm assuming he'll want to take more footage that he will never use)
Mitch + possibly scottish friends
Zanziba'ar (quite possibly)
ez (possibly)
Target (if travel possible)
Freddie (if travel possible)

[Vicious Horizon]

Add Zanziba'ar to that list :)

He's a quite-possible.

[Isphera]

Add Zanziba'ar to that list :)

He's a quite-possible.

That could be awkward...

....but maybe not, gonna train my Mitari character up aqap so I can come back and not lose my work areas :D

[Kiliv]

Add Zanziba'ar to that list :)

He's a quite-possible.
yeah ive been trying to get the scotish/russian bugger to come to i43 since i was at i40 xD

[Chazlene]

the scotish/russian bugger

He sounds badass.

[Kiliv]

indeed hes russian but caught a scotish accent when he went there for school lol

[Chalex4]

Chalex (hasn't replied, but I'm assuming he'll want to take more footage that he will never use)

I imagine I'll be there! Just depends on how flexible work is with getting fridays and mondays off :D.

[Vicious Horizon]

OFFTOPIC - We got kicked out of the matar militia 'cause your standing was so low Oric :P

:O - I knew you had a too low standing, didn't know I caused it :S. You guys are not thinking nice thoughts atm are you :(

[Vicious Horizon]

Lol we re-applied, dw about it, we just need to do a bit of missioning xD

[Isphera]

Lol we re-applied, dw about it, we just need to do a bit of missioning xD

Still, /facepalm on my part. My mitari guy is coming on nice, nearly fully skilled for rifter (just need day or two to finish core competency certificate), then I'll start working on Cruisers just so I can grind lvl 2's easier. Once that's done and I have standing with Minmitar, I'll start training for PvP stuff and then I'll try re-join in a week or two with my new guy, if you could work some of your magic :D

[nikoli]

fuck yes am i going :D can we go on chat roulette/omgele again? :D

[Joe]

fuck yes am i going :D can we go on chat roulette/omgele again? :D

I second this, but i swear to God if i'm sitting on the end then i'll never talk to any of you again and hang myself :/

[Target]

fuck yes am i going :D can we go on chat roulette/omgele again? :D

tits or gtfo, hell yes!!!!
I vote chalex to sit on the end, as most of the time he is running around with a camera + no one really needs to talk to him :D

[Hutch]

tits or gtfo, hell yes!!!!

I'm not even going but I second the motion. He'd get stressy.

[VoX]

That's actually quite a good idea.... lol

[nikoli]

That's actually quite a good idea.... lol

i 3rdeded that :D

[Hutch]

i 3rdeded that :D

Perhaps someone should make a poll?

[VoX]

Perhaps someone should make a poll?

Oh the irony of quoting Nick to say that xD

[Chalex4]

I can't sit on the end because I'm usually the one looking after expensive cameras, steadicams and other equipment. Sorry guys. If the stuff is surrounded by ATK, it means I don't need to always carry it around with me.

Details as to who sits on the end can be decided much later on in my opinion :p.

[Isphera]

Lol, I said the end thing at the beginning as a joke, I didn't think anyone would start taking it seriously :P

[Hutch]

Are you saying that things are worth more because they are yours Chalex?

[Colonel Mitch]

Also its not liek you EVER leave any of your camera equipment etc on the desk with atk around.... :P

[Chalex4]

Are you saying that things are worth more because they are yours Chalex?

The point is the equipment wasn't mine. It was hired. The camera was worth £3.5k alone. Wouldn't be amused if anything happened to that, as ATK as a group would have to foot the bill.

[Isphera]

Also its not liek you EVER leave any of your camera equipment etc on the desk with atk around.... :P

Hmm, never know what you and Ki would get up to with it.

[Target]

I'm sure its insured chalex, and anyway its not like you left it out of your sight for a millisecond and it was strapped to your chest, like your first born child :D

Also rofl Oric :D

[Chazlene]

Hmm, never know what you and Ki would get up to with it.

Oh. God.

[nikoli]

where that picture of chalex with the caption of "you know what they say about men with big cameras " when you need it :(

As you can see Nikoli, the camera here is actually connected to him surgically via his penis, and held on by a harness (as obviously it couldn't support that weight)

I don't mind either way. What day are you going?

[Setsoru]

i think im going the day everyone else does. first day.. not sure really, gotta set up my tent.

[Vicious Horizon]

Turn up on Thursday, not much gaming, but it's a good laugh and you get your tent set up eaaaaasy.

[Paper Tiger]

I'll just go when the majority of the community go. Just wanna make sure I can get there this time and that I've booked off work, so I don't miss the BBQ!

[Colonel Mitch]

I'll b going thursday :P

[Paper Tiger]

Thursday is always a good laugh, so I'll probably go Thursday (Who's getting EAS?). Are we going to go in an set up PC's or just have a total laugh at the camp site.

[VoX]

Will probs grab EAS and do the same as last year (chill in camp site and then move PCs into the hall when we can)


Got 2 mates also interested in coming, one came down to i40 last year and chilled for one of the days (Ollie) and the other used to hang out on our old TS if you remember him (Tom.) Both pretty easy guys to get along with so should merge in with us lot pretty well.

[Vicious Horizon]

Sounds like we might 3-lane it this year :D
