Before I start, bear in mind that at this stage we're just talking about this for fun, in a what-if scenario. I have no idea when and where I will and won't be able to _actually_ do any of these things. So, with that in mind:

Codex Con 2006!
I'm thinking maybe early March, as being a time that's off-peak for flights, whilst still being distant enough to plan ahead for and not clashing with my annual snowboarding trip.

So, what sort of things do people want?
- A tabletop session would definitely feature, using a (probably) d20-based version of your AC characters.
- If it's at all feasible (location wise as well as both costume and inclination of players) I'd quite like to run an AC-based LARP, but I gather some of you are sissies in that area...
- I'm imagining there'll probably be at least one night of heavy drinking, but which night that'll be and so forth will most likely be decided based on who's actually coming and when (if we're doing it in the USA I don't want to get done for incitement when it turns out one of you is 'only' 20)
- Sooo, what else? Party games with IC prizes? Do we want to do anything involving any actual computers, or do we keep them well away from the proceedings?

Also up for debate: do we make our own accomodation arrangements and have daily meets, or have one person arrange a couple of studio apartments for everyone to all bunk up together, which would also serve as a venue for the tabletop? Or if we are going down the larp route, a campsite? Or something else?

I was thinking of putting an option for Ohio, but I'm reluctant to go there because of the sheer proportion of total nutters we've had over the years from that particular state.

No offence meant.

lmfao. Come on now, we aren't THAT bad. Only like, two of us have ever really caused major problems...mostly....
Hell, two of your admins are Ohioans, so we can't be that crazy. At least, we can't be any worse than all those crazy ass Canadians.

On a more serious note, Canada would probably be a good choice, that way all those poor 20 year olds can booze it up with everyone else.

I voted for midewest. Ohio would be a good choice for me, since I live two minutes from the border.

I personally voted for Other places in Canada.
I live in Calgary, which is absolutely insane...
We're the party city, so we'd defiantely have a good time.
I could probably find locations to host most people up, and if not I'd be glad to pitch down a bunch of dollar towards residence.
Theres places not even 20 minutes out of town, outdoor wood barbecues, acres upon acres of wooded terrain and creeks. Great location for LARP. (Yes, for you guys and you guys only I'd actually LARP)
Thats just me...
Other than that, if I had the cash (HIGHLY DOUBTFUL) I'd love to come out to eastern Canada for Codexcon...
Oh! Toronto in September...
Details to be posted in a topic in the General Forum in a few days tops!

Sounds great, but I've got a feeling that it's way out of the way for most of the players. As far as I can tell we've got very few people who live west of Ohio - even Missouri (where the mud was born) doesn't have many active representatives.

As long as it's drunken larping....I might be willing :/

Akastron posted on the main board:

To make the best of 2 major cities...
Could the codex con be between Montreal and Toronto?
Somewhere like Kingston would be somewhat half-way between.
Get back to me with your input.


As far as transport's concerned, I'm happier with a city that I can fly to from Manchester, cheaply. I don't know how many other people plan on flying. Show of hands?

However, I think as long as we've got enough people who are willing to commit to travelling a distance, then the venue itself is more important than the city. My ideal situation would be somewhere where there's a decent sized room (internet connection a bonus but not vital) that we can get to ourselves for the entire duration for cheap.

A very basic schedule is starting to form in my head. The 'main' part of the meet will obviously be over the weekend, but I'll be around for at least a week since the flight time is 12 hours each way, so it might look something like:
Wednesday: I fly in and get settled

Thursday: Sightseeing with anyone who wants to get off work and join me

Friday: Sightseeing during day, bulk of people arrive in the evening, go out drinking/clubbing

Saturday and Sunday: Fun and Games
This can include such things as:
- Abandoned Codex Tabletop Edition. Depending on how many people show up this might be done as two different games, cause tabletop doesn't work well with more than about 5-6 people in a session. Any exp/qp/items gained are transferred back to your regular character at the end of it.
- Other Games and Activities to be suggested - could be anything depending on who's coming and where we go - basketball, soccer, poker games for stats
- Masterclasses if (a) people are interested, and (b) we can get the equipment. Maybe we could run two concurrently, a 'new builders' one headed by a volunteer, and a 'how to write mobprogs that don't mess everything up' one by me. And if anyone wants to present their own masterclass (e.g. How To Pwn Deadlies) they can.

Monday and Tuesday: Cleaning up if necessary, and more sightseeing and drinking with whoever sticks around.

Wednesday: Fly home


Of course, this is still extremely early in the planning stages, so it's a good time to chip in with opinions.

im gunna LARP you to death G, you're gunna wish you brought your dragon suit coz when i come out with my ogre costume you're dead as shit!

im not so sure i want to meet some of you, hopefully though, Casik and Azael will be there so we can shit on them! I'm gunna enjoy meeting Casik Smile

I also think we should have a IRL clan war. Solitude gets his clan (him lexi, Fragma, waldo) and me Vicks and Seph will fight until the last person stands... or if nobody believes in violence like i do, we can play strip twister and i'll watch seph bum-hump waldo.

P.S. We can play tackle football and basketball, I'd kill you all in both, and strip poker only if Balsa comes... damn i love girls who love girls!

Any chances of me going are severely dependent upon school schedule. Spring break would be a handy time, though I can't promise I won't be heading south for that....
