How about Bath, it's a pig to get too and almost as expensive as London. Ideal.

Halo meetup and no mention of havin' some LAN?

SHAMBLES.

Another benefit of going into uncharted territory (i.e.: north of the peak district, into the untamed wilds) is that you may tempt some of the sizeable Scottish contingent downwards from their caves?

You have a very obscure definition of the word 'benefit',Funk.

I'm good anywhere guys, london ideally but my best mate lives in notts and I'm sure he's put me up, screw you guys!!

Funkstain

Hmm. I have two TVs and plenty of space, I suppose, so BYO 'box, halo and TV? And beer? And hot dogs?

M0stly harm13ss

I'm martini girls and boys...

Gremill

The problem with London is that its already over-subscribed for cunts.

Newcastle, while it has its fair share of em, is cheaper and closer to my house so win.

How serious are you? Because I would totally vote for that.

Imagine the chance to play some of the old Halos again 100% lag free and with the ability to laugh in someones face as you teabag them.

Funkstain

Well, pretty serious. I have a wife thing now, who apparently legally has some say in what shenanigans occur under my (er, our) roof, so I'd need to provide her with a) fair warning and b) a signed contract covering damages, repairs and clean-up operations - but other than that, sure, why the fuck not?

Newcastle is so far my second vote - it may take me about a year to get there but I've only been once and it was alright, plus Gremill.

We should compromise and go to Ibiza or get some wooden shack in the middle of the woods.

Hulka T

Ibiza sounds good! Well anywhere rally, I'm struggling to get any pals to come away this Dec the gypsies, I need some sun!

Funkstain

I've got a mate going to Tenerife - he reckons it's barely 20C out there right now, what's the point unless you've got a thermal swimming costume

Hulka T

Yeah my mate and his missus just came ba k from there, they said it was cool but not majoryl hot. Doing well good deals there at the moment though.

LesterUnlimited

I've got a mate too.

M0stly harm13ss

It's good to know that we arrange meet ups irl in the same way we play as a team.

Start full of hope, then all piss off in different directions!

I'll go anywhere at anytime. Let's start with a place first eh? If we end up with London, why not crash the meet there...then we've sorted a date as well.

Yeah good joke v funny. What's his name, is it master chief?

Tempy

Let's all buy these for the pub/lan break

M0stly harm13ss

Yes. Then we can pretend we are playing a BT objective game in da pub.

I'm more than happy to do both. But yeah, it appears that London is looking the most popular pick so far. Not to mention Funk's kind offer. Unless there are people who won't come to London or would just prefer somewhere else.

Also, where the hell is @Dubs in all of this? His presence is required. Apart from anything else, this whole night is really just a ruse. I was told that if I ate his heart I'd gain his Halo skills.

acemuzzy

I can still come even though I've only ever done one Halo mission ever. Right? RIGHT?

And is it ok if I just sit there drinking and going "Halolz Sux"?

Yossarian

Of course you can, just don't suggest that bullet spread sounds like a good idea in front of Knight.

Fentonizer

Or do exactly that.

We'll definitely have to lock a date with plenty of warning, I've got the wife to think about if I'm having half a dozen Halo nerds steaming in.

I'm sure Lester will be happy with enough warning mate.

Billy

I now live in Kent about 30 minutes from London. I'm close to gatwick so could probably get a cheap flight up north for less than a train ticket.

Petey

As long as there's a bath for me to end up in, I'm happy.

Facewon

I lol at you lot thinking that London to Liverpool is a long way.

lol, I tell you. LOL!

hylian_elf

London gets my vote cos, you know, I live there.Â

Birmingham-ish would get my second vote. Newcastle is too far for me (plus the only two times I went there ever, it didn't appeal).

Skerret

I also lol with less (well none actually) UK experience but a realistic sense of scale. Â LOL, lawlz

tigersgogrrr

Fuck, everyone come to Seoul! We can go out in Gangnam and dance and it'll be amazing.

I don't want to leave it too late in the year as I'm not sure how long I'll be back in Britain myself. March is a possibility.

March is out, my Mum is visiting me in Kiwiland then.

Also, another vote for Milton Keynes. You could do an epic bar crawl in the Theatre District, which is walkable distance from the train station* and hotels.

*Made famous in Superman IV. Oh, yes.

Howdy, Stranger!
