German Discworld Con 2009

Yay! cool. A list anyone?

Ponder

a list of what? people planning to attend?

I'm considering it as well. Ah no, I'm not considering. I'm awaiting other people to apply as well. Who want to share a room with me

So

Ponder
AltogetherAndrews

i wonder how many beds they have in one room....

Ponder

There's six beds to each room.
Both families Palm and OB attended 2007 con. It was nice, the castle is terrific. Still considering, it's a long time away.

hopefully i shall be able to attend *starts to learn some german*

it's a different castle this time. last year it was freusburg, next year it's bilstein.

I'd like to come, but I'm not certain yet - I may need to be earning, rather than spending money at that stage,,,

There was talk a while ago about a european road trip - if the UK contingent all drove down together, maybe going via the Netherlands if OB and Palm are coming. Does anyone know if we got any further on that?

MS

lol, i already got signed up!

i think burg bilstein is some kind of youth hostel so the rooms might well be for more than two persons and there is space on the booking form for
"who i want to share a room with and who i definitely DON'T want to share a room with"

being a good mum i might need to share a room with my kids and see that they aren't up to any mischief (without me)

i'm also planning to make a post to this topic in the Stamps Forum cos the talk Scrubby remembers included interested "stampers" and thudders going together and maybe(?) hopefully (!) sharing the cost for transport.

so either you have a look at the Stamps Forum from time to time or you wait for updates on here.

mischief? us? never!

Well, I fear worse if you are with us (thinking of a little shoping tour in tesco for example...)

oh, we gotta go to ikea lol.
i just checked on the website. there are rooms with 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 beds.

OH, is there an ikea on the way? or close by?

seems to me the closest ikea is 52google maps minutes off.

oh, what a shame ;-(

Have i missed something??? why do we need an IKEA?

For a shopping trip of course (remember tesco)

well, i think at IKEA's it would be not so much a shopping trip but a mess-up-the-shop-and-get-chucked-out- trip!

...... and i seem to remember that at our raid of tescoe's ponder was one of the more sensible members ot the party!

well, he needed to. It can't be that MC and Ponder are unsensible at the same time. That's just not suitable..

Hi everyone. It's gone a bit quite here on thudgame.com as far as I can tell from the last reply dates on the forums. I have to admit that I haven't been here for quite some time, too :-/

I really hope you'll all be coming to the German Con next summer (and advertise it where ever Pratchett fans gather ). I also hope that I'll get some replies by the thudgame.com team (if still existing) and Bernard so we can organize another Thud championship like in 2007.

BTW: If you register before the 1.1.2009 there is a going to be a surprise present for you

Worry not, oh be-hatted one! The thudgame.com team lives on, but has merely been underground for most of 2008. We have re-emerged knackered but triumphant, bloody but unbowed, and stand ready to organise tournaments, contests, battles of strategic wit and skill in and amongst any band of the Discwordly that will have us.

I shall personally enscribe our regards to you by clacks and discuss what glorious plans we may connive to make the dark castles of the continent the envy of Pratchettians throughout the Roundworld! We look forward to the meeting with great anticipation!

Ever yours,

Righty - I think I'm gonna book pretty soon. Indeed I was about to just now, but then got to the section on room-mates, and decided to wait til I at least knew whether people were coming before I put their names in the box...

So - who's gonna be my roomie?

MS

Thats a point i really need to sort all this out, i need a passport...money...argh.... i think a list is in order! i also need a german phrase book and money...and bit more money...*runs off to sort things out*

honestly, as much as i hate it, but you don't need to know a word of german to get around this place. in fact, it'll be a lot easier for you and everybody else if you just use english rather than doing a twoflower....

i'm gonna wait and see how many of you guys are going before i decide.

Lee is alive! Yeah!

I updated the Convention wiki a bit yesterday and added more English translation. Hope that helps you to find your ways around. As for room mates: Changes to your wishes can be mailed after your registration. That won't be a problem because we'll do the room sorting days before the festival.
