Hey everyone,

I'll also be there by about 85% - looking forward to meet you.

Also, I created a Facebook event - might be a good idea to use modern day communication ; )

While you're at it - why not add me? : D

Also, I created a Facebook event - might be a good idea to use modern day communication ; )

while i have no idea what you have created there on facebook (because i'm not a member and will never be), i'm not sure if this is a good idea! there has been a lot of trouble with publically-announced facebook parties in germany lately where suddenly hundreds (if not thousands) of people showed up at a "normal" birthday party because someone had seen the "ad" on facebook and thought it would be a great idea to crush the party.

[Akuma]

Why wouldn't it be a good idea? Is the idea of this event to stay among oneself?

Also, I only know of one such case. Since Eurocade is supposed to be a public event, it can't be compared to this - or will this be held at a member's home??

EDIT: Okay, seems like I missed a crucial part here - it IS at a member's home while I thought it was some kind of event like Insert Coin '09 ... Yes, might be a good idea to remove the Facebook event, which I will do now ; )

To clarify:

Eurocade is NOT a public event. This is why the registration "mechanism" has been in place. The requirements are clearly explained on www.eurocade.eu

Anyone who has NOT registered will NOT be allowed at Eurocade. It's simple for me to do that, because it's a private party at my own home.
Even if the event is moved to the alternative location, this is still a privately owned place and not open to the general public.

The registration requires you to be a member of one of the mentioned forums PLUS to register with all the required details. Even so, there is a fixed limit in the number of people attending because of practical and safety reasons. We don't want to be like "herrings in a barrel" as we say in Holland For this reason I reserve the right to deny access if the limit has been reached.

The goal and intention of Eurocade is also clearly written on the first page on the site.

Indeed PLEASE do not publish this anywhere else. Thanks.

Now I see - better not to post when you are sleepy... Actually I missed the navigation on top of the Eurocade site as I thought it was adds and all I saw was the main text which made me think it is a big event like CAX

[level42]

Mmm, perhaps I should swtich the menu and the adds around...or at least space it a bit more....I'll see what I can do about that.

The Host2Web ad is there because they are sponsoring the domainname registration.

The Google sense adds are there in a desperate try to earn some spare change for the event.
DO NOT go mad clicking on them please, else the account will be disabled, I've already experienced that one time, and that simply means NO money, and those Google guys are very strict... If they sense that a banner is clicked more than once (or so ?) from the same IP  address they will already ban me.

Talking about registrations, i am currently printing and preparing badges for everyone

almost finished with all the persons on the list

i thought it was a nice touch, since i dont know how everybody looks, and in this way its easy to "" identify""  a person.

no registration means no badge, no badge means no entry

LOl, nice one!

[Etienne MacGyver]

for now i got 40 ready...

take this :



spend 30 minutes putting them inside...



and you got some nice badges ready in time  

i stashed them nicely in a box waiting for eurocade..



i still got 6 empty badges, so there can still join some persons  

[Belike]

Thanks in the name of our community, I will take good care of my pass, it will be a real value after the 20th world famous Eurocade.

Vert Nice  a futur collector item 

[Etienne MacGyver]

it sounds maybe anal, but you guys are only allowed to take the cardboard with you, the plastics i have loaned from a customer of mine and wants the empty plastics back after the event  

anyway , you guys are right, this is the official first eurocade badge !  

[teasing mode on]
i may also have another surprise in my sleeve for one lucky guy amongst you crazy collectors...., but that will be revealed during/after the event...
