People can start giving me money now.

Cost is c. 2400 which I think is about the same as before.

If we can get 24 people then £100 each.

Let’s do that.

Thanks, Captain Maths :)
What if we can only get 12 people, Andy?

Then hopefully one of them isn’t you.
14 so far (with two maybes), but the grand meister needs to update the first post.
Fucking grand master.
Zeppo has sent me £100 - can you remind me of your bank details, Curio? I'll get stuff sent over ASAP
@Davpaz if you can't make it, can you pop along on the Saturday morning and set your Retro Pi up?

You can pick it up on Sunday night.
I can bring my RetroPie, although it may not have the quality and variety of games that DavPaz's does ;)
you have a few months to fix that
I keep thinking about getting a 128GB SD card and downloading one of the pre-made images, but they invariably never have Amiga stuff.
If only we knew someone that would be able to help out with that?
As long as we don’t have to play that classic game about witches again.

I thought Granny's Garden would become a tradition...
I've got loads of Amiga stuff on mine at the moment, and I could just load up the entire TOSEC and WHDLoad sets that I've got, but then there'd be a shit load of dross.

I keep meaning to create a pre-made image of my own, featuring the "Top 100" games for various platforms - Speccy, Amiga etc.

It's ok. next year we will aim for worse...



Clearly, as a punishment.
WTF is that nonsense. Was nobody with eyes involved in the development process?
You can read about it in Ashen's second book.

It's meant to be "ravey".

Aye.

Although i still remember it from a demo back when it was released. It remains probably the worst amiga game I ever played. (and I played dangerous streets, microcosm and other games of that ilk, so the bar is pretty low.)
At the moment it looks like 15 people, possibly, but also possibly fewer.

If we don’t get any more then we might have to downsize to one cottage.
Cottage up, fools!
My list:

Me
Kern
DavPaz
Myp
Malc
Grim
Jem
Gaz
Zeppo
Mr Dave
Vision
Kovacs
Jazzy
Joans
Jacket

Apologies if I missed you. Who else might come?
Bobby? Pete? MaliA? Others?

Will Mat and Carly be interested, Grim...?
I have asked.

And paid.
I'm not coming!

We’ll see about that.

This is potentially a deal breaker for me. The one and only time I stayed in the big cottage I barely slept and was ill for the rest of the week. :(

Why? Is the big cottage built on top of a plague pit?

Grim... And Cras usually sleep in the bedroom on the ground floor, so pretty much.

Heh, it's always possible!

I think it's just an old building so every time someone went up or down stairs or laughed loudly it would wake me up (I'm a light sleeper anyway and once awake can find it difficult to get back to sleep). I could feel myself needing to be careful what I said during the day I felt so grouchy and I didn't want to snap at anybody. But surviving on a few hours sleep for three nights then trying to go back to work just made me feel awful. :(

The issue is easily solved by more people coming though. :)
We've paid. Worse case scenario I'll just stay on the Saturday. Myp has given me some good suggestions too. :)
Grim has a couple of friends who came to the BBQ that are gonna come. Then the Hursts might come. So we may well get the numbers.
Rob (the other colleague that isn't Zeppo) is still a maybe, he's got some hostipal related stuff going on that may be around that time, so he'll let me know closer to the time.
I think he registered, by the way.
Ah, so he joins Zeppo in the ranks of "colleagues and extreme BeEx lurkers" ;)

//edit: I see, yes. *waves at HairyMouth*

Nope.
Pay me monies, people!
Take it out my winnings

Your what now?
Deposit or full? I probably won't be able to pay it all for a couple of weeks.

Full amount, but pay me whenever you can.

Is Fun Sally coming?
