Hi,

any kind soul able to bring along an iPad 2?

If I pull my finger out I'll have a traditional RV game to demo, currently on iPod Touch which is fine, but would be much better on iPad (but I don't have one) if that's possible.

I'd need you to PM me the device ID so I could send you a temporary build to install (as the game won't be on the store, the way Apple works on test builds I update a certificate my end with device ID's which is built into the IPA, so it knows where it is allowed to run).

Cheers!
LW.

Ticket now paid for - just got to find some accommodation now. And maybe book a little time off.

I've finally finished "Mixed Grill March", so I'll be bringing it along (with a beeb to play it on). Maybe we could even have a Mixed Grill March tournament?

*****Ok, Attention all RV peeps!!! *****

Bit of an ask here but over the last couple of days there are some FAB and LOYAL RV types that for some reason or another cannot get funds for RV this year ..... 3-4 top people!!
So, I'm asking the flock! BUNG A QUID OR 2 into the pot and let's make sure these guys get to Oxford for the gig!!

paypal SALES@RETROVISION.ORG.UK with a reference of RVFRIENDS I'll kick it off by putting £20 into the box :-)

RV is about mates after all! Help if you can guys ...

Isn't there already a substantial pot sitting in a travel fund for that sort of thing?

I don't believe so anymore RiK, it was my understanding that it was dissolved a few years ago, which is a shame because you are quite right.

Apparently the Travel fund was used for server payments on the forum ... Does anyone know if the money got put back? IF so, I would like to ask for £60 from the fund to assist 2 Llamasofties with their expenses for RV.

I believe peevo is still the keeper if the keys so that's who you need to ask.

[gravy]

Yep, Peevo is in charge.

It's full of unused money.

I am amazed you have zero idea about any of this.

Yup, there are two funds/accounts; the travel fund and the hosting account.

When we had urgent need for monies for hosting, the travel fund was raided.

Then we had a major influx of money, including a very large donation from My J. Blow.
That prmopted PayPal to accuse me of money laundering!
So I ensured them it wasn't the case, pointing to the very small amounts making up most of the donations.
Luckily, they believed me.
So I transferred the majority back into the travel account.

Nobody's asked for travel funds for over a year, so it may as well go to hosting anyway.

[Markie]

Thanks to both RiK and Gravy for the heads up! Have PM'd PVB :-)

Thanks guys!
