IRC metting Xmas 2008! :)

[Marcuz]

Hello everybody!

you can start now to feel all Xmas-enduced joyous and gay and merry, if you aren't already, because it starts the countdown for the annual or semi-annual or part-time Xmas IRC Meeting!

of course, to cheat and hide the fact that i rule the EAB with an iron hand, i will post a poll for the date you favorite for that, i just ask to be excused not to add an eventual hour, as i don't understand very well the internet time.
So feel free to add what sounds cool to you in this thread and i will update it in the end.

I would say that every weekend, i.e. the evening and the night between saturday and sunday, plus the sunday afternoon, in December should be cool, and the poll reflect that thinking, but write already if you prefer to meet up wednesday night, with a nice transvestite, and we will hook you up with Fred.

and remember that there's no IRC meeting without an evil snowman.

Went for 20th/21st as it's the weekend closest to Christmas (well pre-Xmas anyway.)

[blade002]

I agree with Graham

[Marcuz]

20/21 is the weekend of these i surely cannot partecipate sadly... maybe i'll go for the 28

Indeed. The fact that there's nothing going on there most of the time is a weak excuse, because if more people joined, more would be going on.

Also, this poll should really allow multiple selections, or at least have an "I don't really care" option.

Anyway, I voted for the 20th/21st, simply because it seems most appropriate. But let the record show that I don't really care.

[Marcuz]

erm... the option "i don't really care" i posted it in Amiga.org

[Graham Humphrey]

Are we going to do this Saturday then? Thought I'd better give it some publicity or no-one will show up

[TCD]

Uhm, I'm in, but can someone give me the IRC infos (I kinda missed them when they changed )

[StingRay]

pffft... 5000+ posts but no idea how to search in this forum?
how about checking this thread?

[TCD]

Ah well, you know I'm a lazy git Thanks for the info StingRay

[Marcuz]

i will mostly not be able to attend

but maybe i'll drop a line in the night.

Thanks for the reminder Graham - I for one had completely forgotton about this

[mihcael]

what exactly is this?

is it like a work christmas, where everyone gets drunk and abuses each other and tries to root their co-workers? (but virtual)

[TCD]

Yup, something like that plus complaining about how annoying christmas is I guess Sounds like fun to me... then again it could be just the normal chit chat on IRC with an increased number of folks hanging around

Drunk and abusive - quite possibly But I don't think the majority of us are attractive enough (even with beer goggles on) to attemp to be rooted
