I'm up for it - for sure - a few things need sorting out before the event but seeing as it's over 6 months away i'm pretty sure i'll be able to arrange it.

Oh, and of course I need to speak to my girlfriend and make sure she doesn't mind me going AWOL again.

If I was properly rich, I'd fund the whole fucking thing, but I can't, and I love Big Markie and I know how much effort he puts into these without asking for a penny - ususally far less than break-even.

I will pay Â£20 to enter the next gig.

Join me in this. Markie doesn't want to charge us. But I WANT to pay him, and up front.

Who's with me?

Yeah, I'm happy with that. Just need to know when, if indeed this system is adopted.

Right On, Commander.

My 2c on the rest: Best to put 'social' gaming in one area (downstairs, say), consoles upstairs (ideally lots of MAMEd Xboxen). If we could use the 40" Samsung for something in the middle area that would be rather handy.

In an ideal world keeping out the 'Danes would be useful - then you could use the middle area for something sensible. Boiling oil and caltrops, anyone?

I'm getting excited about this already and May's aaaages away.

Anyone got a time travelling device?

My only thing would be - can we avoid the really-really-really cramped area downstairs - I couldn't really go down there on Saturday as I felt pretty claustrophobic.

If we can have a bigger more open space for gaming that'd be ideal?

Not sure how big their room upstairs was?

Sorry - this isn't a complaint, just an observation.

Yes the countdown has begun, at the time of posting it is 199 days, 1 hour and 40 minutes until Retrovision 2007

It seems to be the only thing I'm thinking about, I've got some ideas for it already and I can't wait, i'm even considering learning to drive so I can bring more tech

Cheers

Â£20 is a small price to pay for an RV weekend. I'm in, if this is the way to go.

Â£20 Is an ideal price if it is going to consits of use useing the whole of port mahon if thats what everyone else is talking about. but my only concern is that we have to let non llamasofties use the middle bit of the bar at least. But i will be there for i love all you guys especualy you pink fairy

But i am up for it and that Â£20 would help some of the international people try and make it over to the event as well. And I am counting the days till the event is on and thats erm well 7 months and a few billion seconds to go

Bring her alone - she can entertain herself with mine (Kerrie)

I've got 7 months to convince her and I think she'd actually enjoy it if she came along.

To be honest I didn't really game so much and for me the Oxford Jolly was more about having a beer (or two), a laugh and meeting and talking to some ace people.

It's that way for a lot of folk. I don't play many games, but the ones I do, I enjoy much more than I would playing 'em at home. The fact that one *CAN* game gratuitously is part of it.

Though the memory of Lappy running one DS's batteries out, then just reaching for another one off the top of the pile will live with me forever...

I feel such an inadequate gamer now!!

Though the DS does make it so much easier - I can now sneak in an hours gaming during my lunchbreak.
