New thread! Dutch meetup II

[MrEdwardNigma]

Awesome! Dutch! Yay! I've been posting in every single meetup thingie untill now there should be a Belgian meetup! And now there is/might be, sorta...
Well, Holland's fine for me too, I live at the border anyways.

Oh, and dallas-dakota, I've been suspecting you were dutch!

[Ichneumon]

I'm Dutch, but do not have any time for a meetup or anything.

[Lord Herman]

Count me in! Any idea when and where we should do this?

It might be a good idea to include German OOTSers, as well - there are quite a few forumites in Germany.

Oh, and I can bring the OOTS board game.

[Glaivemaster]

Depending on when, I might be able to. I'm going to be in Holland/Germany for a few days, so on the very slim offchance...

Nah, not gonna happen

[Chris the Pontifex]

yeah sure, I'm in. If its not going to be too far away (no car)

I'll make sure Squishycube is going to be there too.

If we are going to include belgian and west-german forumites as well (I say we should). We should probably meet up somewhere in the east or south-east.

[InaVegt]

I am not coming, just saying so you don't get your hopes up.

And Dallas, you deserve an eternal smiting for saying Holland and the Netherlands are the same thing, you should fully well know Holland is only part of out country and I'm trying to teach those foreigners exactly that.

[Dallas-Dakota]

Yes yes Gezina, I know that! I was just saying that becouse ´some´ people dont know that the Netherlands are different......but Holland is fine to for me.
I myself live in The south-Holland province(zuid-holland)
yay eternal smiting!

tobad ichneumon!

Lord Herman, sure you can bring oots board game.
good idea to have some german ones here. But that will probably result in all of us speeking english becouse some german people cant speak dutch.....
umm as where ...well.....not sure....my place(I live with my parents doh) is umm in the south I geuss, not so much in the east....... and when, well its got to be on a saturday or sunday becouse of school(o.o yes I am a teenage who is still in school)

glaive master : which days?

mr. E.nigma : Yes I am dutch....lol.....

[LCR]

Shouldn't you do it in Germany, then? I guess there will be a lot more Germans here than people from the Netherlands.
And I don't know about a single German that speaks Dutch. Maybe near the border, but not near where I live.

[Dallas-Dakota]

sigh......LCR thats why its called : a dutch meetup!

you can have a german one if you want, just create another thread for it, becouse this one will be in The Netherlands,I dont have time to leave the country.(and I can only speak a few words german)

[dehro]

if it's in the summer and I'm visiting my gramps, that is in Amsterdam, I might be able to join in..

(yah, avatar says italy, but... I'm half dutch)

[Rykaj]

Yeah, grumpy people we are. Heh, a meet-up would be fun. I probably wouldn't come though. I value the anonimity of the internet too highly. Even though I have to say it would probably be fun, and I'm curious what the boardgame is like

[Arlanthe]

I'm so there!

I will be gone most of July and August though :( So if ti is scheduled then I can't come. Hop on the train in Gent and here I come!

[Lord Herman]

Shouldn't you do it in Germany, then? I guess there will be a lot more Germans here than people from the Netherlands.

In OOTSers per square kilometer, I think we have more

And I don't know about a single German that speaks Dutch. Maybe near the border, but not near where I live.

I don't mind speaking English.

[MrEdwardNigma]

Lord_Herman, I think Belgium and the Netherlands (especially Belgium) has more of anything if expressed per square kilometer. We're just pretty cramped up countries.

[Calsan]

Lord_Herman, I think Belgium and the Netherlands (especially Belgium) has more of anything if expressed per square kilometer. We're just pretty cramped up countries.

So true hehe, if only our cities where a bit bigger.

[Dallas-Dakota]

If you counted Holland(a part of The netherlands) for oots'ers per square kilometer, It'd be allot higher, becouse Holland is the most cramped part of the Netherlands.....

but the where and when part is a difficult qeustion......

[Glaivemaster]

glaive master : which days?

Well, since you ask: 30th-31st July, and then I'm getting a plane away the next day. Like I said, very small time frame

[Dallas-Dakota]

aha I see.......
so the list who posted and said/plan to be coming if the situation is right :
mr. Edward Nigma

Lord_herman

Chris the Pontifex

squishycub

Arlanthe(though not if it is in July or August)

Dehro? you can travel with train?(though only in summer)

Glaive master (though only if it is on 30th or 31th July, so probably not)

and me.
_--_--_--_--_--_--_--_--_--_--_-_-
Calsan : where do you live and will/can you come?

rykaj : good reason, but I am sure it there will be very much fun.
---------------
I can probably bring some food and drinks......

last thing : I am away from the 13th of July to the 4th of August on summer holiday to South-Europe.

edit : I'm thinking it should be in a weekend, becouse people have to go to work and school otherwise.........hmm I cant go at the end of june becouse I have testweek then........which will be the final point if I pass or not......

[squishycube]

Chris is right, he would've told me about the meet-up even if I didn't stumble across this thread.
Let's not bicker about Netherlands and Holland. Let's talk dates

[Dallas-Dakota]

I'l post tomorrow morning(later then 7:00), becouse its 23:40 here now.
So i'm off to bed.
though something around the 17th of june......

[squishycube]

Way way too fast for most people I regularly meet to still have time, I mean that is next sunday!

Let's be practical about some stuff:
I am usually able to make time in the evenings and in the weekend.
I live in Amsterdam
I have no car, but I don't mind to travel to a place near a (intercity) train station.

If you all posted this information, we might eventually even be able to acutally have a meet-up.

[Chris the Pontifex]

what ^said. Only I'm usually not able to make time on short notice.

We should ask Simius to come too

[Simius]

Umm, well, I'll think about it.
I'm not a great fan of forum meetups, but you might be able to convince me with cunning arguments

Depends on the time and place as well, of course.

[Dallas-Dakota]

Well it looks like it's going to be very soon or a few months away......

[faerwain]

My schedule this year is not predictable enough to say something dependable, but I'll keep an eye on this and maybe I'll drop in as a "surprise guest" if I can manage. Amsterdam for example would be a practicable distance for me.
And I insist the Pontifex is responsible for feeding us, as he is claiming to make an excellent goulash.

Oh, and, erm....*looks embarrassed to his feet* I do indeed not know any dutch. I thought it was similar enough to understand if I concentrate, but trying to translate a christmas poem from Gezina taught me otherwise.

[Dallas-Dakota]

maybe we can meet at my house(note : i´m a teenager, I live with my parents.... )

I live in Zuid-holland, a small distance away from Rotterdam.

Well if we are letting out emberrasing things : To my great shame, I dont know how the OOTS board game works.......

[Rykaj]

Three invitations in a row, how could we turn that down?

How about you start naming some dates and times that sound good to you? Then we could respond how they sound to us.

[Dallas-Dakota]

ehm....
Not in June, becouse A its to soon B I have exams/test week then.
not in July , becouse A most people will be on vacation(including me)
not begin August ...points to the line above
Wat do you guys think of 2nd saturday of august?

[MrEdwardNigma]

July would be best for me...
But I suppose somewhere in August'll do. Not the end of august though, nor the week of the 8th... I guess that means not the second saturday? Not sure, haven't checked the calender.
