TSC Convention
« on: January 05, 2009, 08:14:55 pm »
Mike claims he is coming to America next January, and will be pissed at all of us if we do not attempt a TSC Convention. And since you boys have all talked about this a number of times and failed to get it to happen, I want to know how many people are actually serious about wanting to do something like this.

So yes, TSC Convention will take monies. There have been a few discussions as to where to have it. I have offered our house, but we are also willing to travel if there is another person/place that would be better to have such an event.

Ok, so gathering information...

1 - who would like to come that might have $300-400 accrued by next January to afford a plane ticket to somewhere, or to help pay for gas if I can arrange car poolingish (overseas people, you can figure out how much money you need >_>)
2- who would be willing to drive themselves and other people to a TSC Convention
3 - who has a location where this could be hosted
4 - not really much hopes for this one, but does anyone have extra money lying around to sponsor people who don't have money~
5 - you want to come and could work it out with parents/schedule, but just don't have money

As in, the main advantages I see to hosting the convention here at our house is that we would have room (albeit it would be packed if lots of people came) for people to stay, thus people wouldnt have to pay for hotels. I could pick everyone up and drop everyone off at the airport, thus no cars would need to be rented, and if everyone just wanted to pitch in a bit for groceries, I could cook food for us all.

But...if people are better able to travel somewhere else, then me and Rolken can go wherever.

Also if you don't want to respond to the topic, you can PM me details or whatever. I just more want to get an idea of if there is enough genuine interest and motivation in a TSC Convention to go through the effort of trying to make it happen.

I'd come if I could. But I can't. There's probably very few people who actually can (these being the adults of TSC, and the ones with a reasonable amount of cash on their hands). So basically no one.

I definitely want to come over, but if you are holding at your house. I would have to go to Utah all the way from PA.

2. I don't know how much dough I willl have by next January.

3. How will I convince my mom or dad to take me to the airport.

4. If I have a good job by summer, then I can have enough money to get groceries at the stores in Utah. But seeing how all these negatives add up, I mayn't be able to come T_T. But I would like to meet all of ya! I only know SonicFan and Groudon (SonicFan told me about him).

So where else would we do this? Skylights seeing how you are a billionaire or sumthing, buy us a private hotel with about 100 rooms available for all who is coming, and a Casino that allows people under 21 to play, an indoor swimming pool w/ High boards to dive in for all you crazy divers, or just main diving boards that are only about a few inches high from the water., a jacuzzi for 16, exercise room, pool tables, a bowling alley,
Sonic Center Arcade Room with every single Sonic, Mario, and Megaman games made on them, and the rest for the Tails Center for the Hacked games, and flash. With plenty of cars for everyone to drive if some people want to have a gang drive (this I heard of just about several months ago). Room Service for everyone. Unlimited Calling and Texting areas.
Ultra-High Speed Computer Lounge
And anything more that I can't think of now
Eis Makai is the Icy Coyote. Sumaru Star is the Ice Dragon. I own the Ice Planet!

As if I'd ever voluntarily fly to the USA lol :(

If you make on in the United Kingdom in summer, I might try though. if I manage to defeat my fear of being on a plane and a long way from home.

I can go wherever the convention might be held at; I just need to know the exact dates well in advance so I can take time off work/buy plane tickets (unless it would be held somewhere like Orlando in which case I could drive and also possibly abandon you all and go to Disneyland/Universal Studios/somewhere else instead yeaaa).

Also as far as people who can donate monies to other people, surely SJ has some seeing as how he lives in a gigantic mansion...
Hay guiz, I made a table showing how many points each game tracked by TSC is worth. You should go see it.
Also v2.0 of my TSC calculator is available to use. You should totally use it.

I'm up for organising a summer jaunt for the Eurotypes if people want - I've run similar meeting-internets-only-friends events for my cult (long story) before so I know the ropes.  Thoughts?

Simultaneous US-EU convention shenanigans go!

In all seriousness, though, I'm a student. No way can I afford travelling to US. :(

Maybe if I win the lottery. That's the new plan.

I'll be fully graduated with an MS in biotechnology degree by the end of fall (and should have a good job by next January) so I might be able to come. IF I get my own place by then, we could use that.

Ok, Aitamen brought up in his topic about the convention, what will we be doing?

I have no idea, and I do not plan on planning that aspect of things. I mean, I will work with someone else (I am assuming probably mike and/or doug and/or someone else? iono whoever wants to) on getting things planned for this event, but I don't really care what we do. I am here to take care of logistics like making sure we have the televisions and systems needed to play whatever we are doing, and getting people there, and making sure they are fed and have places to sleep.

Also, SonicAD mentioned being able to borrow his grandma's RV and roadtripping it to the marathon. Anyone else have access to and RV from another location. Because that would be pro.

Also I am still waiting for mikke to get into this topic and say something. So mike, say something. >_> I am working on stirring the troops, but I need help!

Also allow me to state, you can all save money by not buying lots of games! *flyby shot*

So I'm gonna make a list of confirmed people coming to this:

Me
Rolken
mike (i assume?)
douglas
magnum sounds pretty sure

Also mike give us a better idea of the time you will be here, so we can have a narrower view of when this might be able to happen. That is all for now. Keep signing up to come!

I've got spare money, but not enough to get over to Utah. If I could get my parents to pay for the plane trip, I could pitch in for the groceries. If I do go, hope you're cooking's good, I'm an excellent eater.

If I don't show up, then yeah. I'm assuming it will be some time convenient for everyone (no school time whatever summer etc.)

However, I would love to go. It'd show my dedication to TSC, I guess.

Edit: Sondow I am a minor and there is a very good chance I may go. >:(

I would like to ask whether or not anyone has any allergies or phobias for us to be aware of... I'd hate for someone to have a petrifying fear of dogs only to have someone else bring their cuddle-wuddlekins along...

that being said, though I have asthma, I don't have anything that would be affected by outside things, though I would be unable to participate in anything that required physical activities of any kind...

It all depends on timing and my job situation. Assuming both are good, I might drop stuff and go. Even though I hate flying. But I'd be totally pro going.
