Any chance you can do videos of the venue and the smashers like you used to? I loved those! :D

 

[Gliffie]

Why does this have to be after the Easter holidays -_-

 

[Lolex]

Actually it's during the easter holidays at the school we're hosting at That's the reason we choose these dates, since we then can have it on wednesday and thursday as well!

Damn Swedes can't even do easter right.

 

[Sixx]

Interested

 

[TheCrimsonBlur]

Sure is. Why don't you give it a try?

 

[Juggleguy]

I also admire how Europe can pull off these giant 4 and 5 day majors.

Gothenburg just happens to have a great, cheap venue so they can do it, but do these really happen anywhere else?
edit: Also, we usually sleep on the floor in the venue, so we avoid the hotel costs, unless someone decides to do that for themselves for extra comfort.

 

[Adum Reb]

Interested.

I have a couple questions:

1. How/where do people shower every day?
2. Assuming the venue charges on an hourly rate, do the overnight AM hours count as part of the required reservation, or can you assume that you get the hours in between if you reserve until, say, 11pm one night and starting at, say, 7am the next morning?

1. On smaller and shorter (local) events, it's pretty much up to everyone to handle themselves. You can quickly wash yourself in the sink in the bathroom or something. Some venues do have showers, but not this one. Well, kind of, there is but we don't seem to have easy access to it.
Or if it's a bigger (international) event, afaik last time they rented a second nearby venue which had both showers and more room for sleeping.
2. From what I've seen, they generally charge per day. Except I've heard this one is pretty much free.

 

[Lolex]

I'll fill in for AJP;

1. We do actually have showers but I've mostly been too lazy to fix it. I have the key and the code now though so we'll have showers for BEAST

2. The venue is indeed free. We take entrance fee to pay for gass when we move TV's, housing venues and other casualties, the rest goes into the price money!

 

[Strong Badam]

What's the nearest airport to this? Found it.
AJP: Is there an airport I should fly into that'd be significantly cheaper than Gothenburg?

If there's a PM side event I'll do what I can to come. Shouldn't be too hard with four days =)

 

[ajp_anton]

Gothenburg is actually a surprisingly busy airport, meaning the prices should be comparable.
However, if they for some reason aren't, you could try Oslo or Stockholm.

Oslo is geographically closer but it's in Norway and I know nothing about trains/buses over there.
Stockholm is in the same country (though I usually even don't notice the Norway border when driving there so that doesn't matter), and you can join my car for gas money. Plus Stockholm is definitely worth a sightseeing visit ("world's most beautiful capital city" or something).

 

[Lolex]

I can confirm a PM side event since there's been so many requests. In what form and size is yet to be decided.

LOL WHAT

I demand source on this.

 

[ajp_anton]

Don't know, I've heard people say that. And I don't really have a reason to doubt it =).
What's your candidate for the title?

edit: Depends on what you like of course, but generally people tend to think water, bridges and lots of green areas are beautiful. Adding some old architecture can't go wrong either.

 

[Strong Badam]

I think I'll actually go to this. Mango's going, right?
I'll make my decision after APEX. =)

 

[Lolex]

I think I'll actually go to this.

I'll add you to the confirmed list <3

And yes, Mango is coming afaik.

 

[Tekk]

Definitely interested !

 

[Tomber]

Maybe I should make a post about it here too, could be more foreigners wanting to attend that as well

Yeah, could be. Would be nice with more people attending.
Eagle and stelzig are probably going too, btw.

 

[♡ⓛⓞⓥⓔ♡]

Come on people, step it up!

 

[random-ness]

haha, Hey Strong Bad, wanna team if you make it over here? :D

 

[saska]

Interested. Most likely coming.

 

[NamiNami]

I'm very interested too

(Finland)

 

[ShrieK1295]

I'm currently living in Germany and am wondering how far in advance should I book tickets to ensure I get a good price. I don't want to do anything before I get information about transportation, housing, etc

 

[Lolex]

What information do you want more precisely?
Afaik, it's cheaper the sooner you book!

 

[Askeflink]

Sign me up!

 

[ProsmasherTim]

Jon_a$s, Däumling, Ice and me are interested

 

[Timid]

^ :D

Kiw1 and me are interested, but I'm sure other Austrians will attend as well.

 

[Lolex]

I might update the rules due to the issues with the paus-rule recently brought to light by leffen;

"Pausing the game shall only be legal while either player remains upon their OWN respawn platform, and only for the purpose of summoning a tournament official or in the case of a controller malfunction. All other pauses will incur a severe punishment of having to listen through the collected works of Justin Bieber to the player who pauses the game."

 

[Airrider]

Best rule 2013.

 

[♡ⓛⓞⓥⓔ♡]

I'm coming

 

[_Rocky_]

Looks like I'll be doing a 100 euro money match vs C at this.

 

[Coen]

Interested, put me on the list please!
