Can you imagine the feeling when gathering with Wormers all over the world in a big event dedicated to our love: Worms Armageddon. I know, you cum a little on ur pantz.
Colon's WormsCon plans back in the days were bit ridicilous. He was going to fly everyone one in, and we would play on planitium keyboards and have massive sponsors and so on. Lot's of talk, nothing happening.
We should work as community to make this thing happen AND if we do it right nicely, let's try to get media coverage. 8)
So guys.
Keep in mind, this the workplace thread and you throw suggestions/problems/bonuses you might think of.
Let's be realistic first of all.
We're looking for most amount of people, that's the point. Some of us already have had many small gatherings by a smaller number of people but we're aiming A LOT higher.
There's no bunnies, rainbows and goldpots on this one guys. Everyone has to buy their own plane ticket. Or you can beg for nino.
Where it should be held then?
My suggestion is Europe. The Netherlands, Amsterdam or somewhere close.
Why? First of all, it's easier to leave from USA than it's to enter there, so that's out. Sorry guys.
Secondly, Netherlands is quite middle in Europe, you can save some money when buying tickets.
Let's face it, a huge amount of us who are not kids like to drink alcohol and smoke weed and Amsterdam is great place for that for one reason. It's also a really beatiful city to go check out. We can enjoy our gaming seesions while enjoying ice cold beers and tasty bud.
Amsterdam is just a suggestion, tell your own ideas if you have something awesome.
It's not that big of a deal to talk about the space we're going to play in because we have no clue how much people are showing up. However, I'm sure it's not going to cost much, so it's not of a big deal.
Then we need to think about where to rest since I'm sure people want to stay for more than just one night. Weekender would be nice. We could rent a hostel rooms for us, some can hold up to 16 people and the cost is very little. Depending the gathering space's size and possibilities, those who want could just sleep there.
When the original WormsCon was planned, most of us were very young but nowadays we're much older and we can make things like airplane ticket and a little cash to happen much easier.
Main thing is guys. YOU need to be transformed into worms mania and want to make this happen, and I promise to everyone, it will happen and we will have awesome time. I've met bunch of wormers and I have only good memories from them.
WHEN?
Planning will take time and I think NEXT SUMMER is overall the best time to hold WormsCon, it's warm, you can chill outside after hardcore gaming sessions.
Let's get the ball rolling, share your thoughts!
-
Great idea I would love to do that but I'm broke :( and I'm Pretty sure my girlfriend would crack it if I went overseas just to play worms lol
If anyone's ever in Australia pm me ;)
-
if this were to actually materialise I would be there, I have money for a ticket, we need an action plan!
-
I thought about the same places before reading your post completely, Janu. ;D
I'm not sure hows the gaming going to work out. Not everyone got a laptop and I doubt everyone is travelling around the world with a bunch of equipment XD
-
heheh cool i can be there...
-
If it's Amsterdam count me in, I go there often.
-
In Polish city- Bolesławiec (:
-
i doubt it would ever happen... all though if it did, would be awesome...
i all ways thought colon was a pedophile trying to get a bunch of young boys gathered together, and he would even pay....
i think Michael Jackson did something similar with never never land, or whatever it was called lol
-

You don't need that many laptops for a meeting like that since hotseat will work. I'd say 4 people each Laptop. I have 10 reliable IBM Rapid Access 2 kb's sitting around in the corner so I can bring the kbs.
-
True. Bring your Guitar Hero Roping KB, haha.

Lol everyone playing on laptops who so even the playing field xD
-
I'd definitely go if there's some time first to save some money. Can bring a laptop too if needed, unless it breaks until the meeting happens. BUT you can take this for granted, I'd go, cuz I already met lots of wormers, Germany only though and Netherlands isn't exactly too far away. :D
-
there's a very mainstream coffee shop in Amsterdam, the biggest of the Bulldog clubs that has Worms1 installed in two of their surf computers.
True story.
-
So you think if a big group of nerds comes to ask them to host a meeting for W:A they will probably say yes? ;)
Btw, if there is no non-smoker area I am out. I don't smoke weed/cigs at all anymore and the smell kills me.

Of course not.
And you can stay in the hotel warming.
;)
on a more serious note, the way I see it, the hardcore worming would be at night in whoever's hotel has a better meeting room we can freely use, or in the worst case scenario, in however has the bigger room.
I mean, if we're gonna meet to hang out together I understand all we have in common is worms, but I'm pretty sure more people other than I will be fine with spending the time doing non wormy things, for most of the day :-[
-
Exactly. Some worming at daytime is cool but in the evening or at night I'd rather go clubbing. :D
-
lol i kan't go becose me pokets are holow :P i mean no money if it is in bulgaria lol i will join for shure :-\ :-\ :-\
-
let's have a list of people who will realistically move their ass to somewhere cool in europe?
free
darkz, and maybe he can get some germans
komo
ropa
philie
anubis (treat with caution, do not put near smoke, do not let his ears close to anything that isn't metal)
if this is happening in summer we can make it match with some big event a la love parade (without dying)
-
count me in for sure (as long as the meeting will be in europe).
and imo, i will not take a laptop. i will go there to meet people and have fun together.
if we sit together in a room and play worms, i bet we will end up chatting, not talking..
and about amsterdam and weed: the conservative government will close all coffeeshops for tourists till end of 2012.

I am sure me and DarkOne get along good, he can tell me all about the risks of smoking and I happily listen to him nodding to everything he says. :D

I would be interested sure, just that I am not interested in all the mainstream stuff you guys like. I am a metalhead afterall that cares about his health nowadays. So Candy doesn't interest me! :p

Why would I do that? I'm taking time off work if something like this is going to happen ;D No need to bring work along for the ride
-
No need to bring work along for the ride
What if someone gets hurt.
And I'm talking about getting really really hurt.
-
you mean Husk?
-
Who says I won't be the cause of that?
-
Who says I won't be the cause of that?
Because words don't hurt :P
-
Count me in if I'm still living here by that time. Amsterdam is a really good choice! Not so expensive, the weather is alright and the tickets from UK are very cheap!
By the way, Ropa are you going to be around the red light district in May? :P
-

lmao...
-

His hugs do.
:'(
-
Not so expensive
It's very expensive. Not compared to the UK though, but still very expensive. But there's still a big offer for cheapness, including very nice hostals.
By the way, Ropa are you going to be around the red light district in May? :P
I might. Are you?
-

I might be there between the 18th and 22nd. A ver si te pillo por allá y nos fumamos algo en algún coffee shop :D.
-
Ye, no smoking for tourists in Amsterdam anymore.
I'm not sure with what intention I should meet Wormers to be honest. On one hand it would be cool to see some of you guys in real life and also get some different nationalitys to know, but on the other hand I don't feel like this has to happen. ^^
Some are pretty long around in this game and are going to play this maybe until the Wormnet goes down. Me included. This game kinda never gets old, not even after long breaks. I don't know, but these "internet friends" might need to become real life mates already. It's more pathetic to have a friend on the internet for a century than meeting him in real life if you think about it. ^^
I would face this meeting more like travelling a bit around and get to see something else than the city I live in for 25 years. D; In the end we are just people that meet each other to have a good time I guess. No matter if we play the same game, lol. When do you travell around like this actually? Never. So why not just do it with people you "know".
I might be interested, depends on the bankroll and exact date, though.
-
lol, we dont have to be "friends", it would be cool to have a beer and a puff with the WA gang no doubt
*night night
CHELSEA
-
I'd love to do something like this since I have nothing to tie me down, but I really lack the money needed for such a trip. I'll probably make it to Europe one day, if my music works out for me ;O
-
Wormscon 2.0
HAHAHAHAHA lol. but seriously.
-
you can count me in but free has to let me crash at his place after the mass murder
-
i doubt it would ever happen... all though if it did, would be awesome...
i all ways thought colon was a pedophile trying to get a bunch of young boys gathered together, and he would even pay....

ROFL :-*

Why Komo? I'd like to drink with you
-
Why Komo? I'd like to drink with you
I quit drinking a long time ago, and I am trying to save money.
And I really really don't like travelling.
Sorry :'(
-
If you quit drinking then I don't wanna meet you :P Just kidding, but why did you quit drinking? Did you use violence on lalo when you were drunk?
-

I quit before he got here, i've had a drink 4 times since January 2011 the same time I quit smoking cigs.
I've been out twice drinking with lalo, once for my uncles 40th night as a DJ the worst ending of a night ever thanks to the whole b2b thing, and my granddad's 80th birthday.
From now on, I will only drink for special occasions probably, and only raise a glass, not get steaming drunk.
I've been pretty boring all year, just working on my music, watching films, working, me and lalo don't really do much lol.
Edit: Lol, if lalo had came, 2-3 years ago, he would have the time of his life, I have seriously calmed down lol.
-

Did you have drunken crazyness and drama in real life due to situations in the worms world?
-
No I came home in a bad mood cuz I had a huge fight with my Brother and my Uncle about the meaning of life or something, I can't even remember it was that stupid, then came home, I read something that made me explode, and I quit TuS like a fool, and acted like an idiot, and b2b members think I quit b2b, I don't know why, I didn't see a law passed for it, I don't believe in God, but if I did I wouldn't suggest God said, "CLANS AND COMMUNITIES DON'T EXIST OUTSIDE OF TuS".
Funny how, people can forgive rapists, mass murderers, and wanna give real dirty rotten lowlife criminals a second chance, but my own "friends" can't even forgive me for being a drunk twat, even though my kindness and generosity has went a whole lot further.
-
Lol komito, you have seen my latinas naked in the shower as well, you pervert!

People make up stupid elitists loyalty ideas that you can only have 1 chance to be part of something. Nobody would have any friends or even family if you would only given"1 chance" in real life cause I know noone that has never done a mistake in real life.
But at least, Komo, you know that the people in b2b are not really friends to the degree I would call people friends. you did a mistake, you said sorry you get back in, that's how friendship works.
-
Lol komito, you have seen my latinas naked in the shower as well, you pervert!
LMFAO xD
I swear I should have stopped for a longer look ;D
-
July isn't good for me, I'm afraid. I could check out maybe if I could some time off at the ending of July, but I think my colleagues have already picked their vacation during that time to the point where nobody else can take vacation.
-
I quit before he got here, i've had a drink 4 times since January 2011 the same time I quit smoking cigs.
Since, I stopped smoking ciggs, im drinking a whole hell of a lot more. It seems like for my life to run smoothly, i have to allow myself to have my little addictive behaviors. Taking away cigarettes = more drunkenness.
-
weed took away all my addictions and anger management issues
oh this was about friendship...
weed is my best friend
-
You can archive this by listening to metal, ropa.
Cause it's mostly all about anger, fury, violence and what not so you get sick of it and calm down. xD
