Hey guys, i was wondering. Has anyone done a GTM con or GTM gathering were members can meet each other and swap ideas and stuff. I would love to do it but unfortunately i live in the UK so i won't be able to make it (If there is one)
-
Unless it's in the UK. :P
-
I would want to go but wouldn't be allowed.
-
Likewise.
-
I personally, wouldn't really want to go. No offense to ya guyz.
-
I mean there could be a UK and US one, but i would'nt be able to come if its nowhere near northampton, (Somewhere in Leicester i could convince my mum to let me go)
Someone would need to arrange a location and stuff.
Got to log off now bye, I'll disscuss this topic further tomorrow
-
:O
WHY REIER WHY
I WANTED TO MEET YOU
meh, I don't mind.
-
we cant really trust you yet, your really new and we're not sure if you even have RA2.
-
Oh, he does. He got the one off eBay that I was going to get.
-
Oh, he does. He got the one off eBay that I was going to get.
WIN or FAIL - not sure about it ;P
I could met Naryar but he would eat me I want to live on.
-
I could meet SSG...
-
G.K. and S_M live really close to each other
-
I live very close to Picnic Attack. :P
-
I saw T_Koistinen today. He was annoying just like always...
-
A good idea in theory, but would be too expensive for how many people would actually attend. If we had 10x the amount of active members we do now, it might be feasible.
-
I see martymidget nearly every day...
but yeah, I agree with Sage, you'd just end up with like 2 people cos no-one else is old enough or has the money to get to places.
-
I don't PERSONALLY know anyone here, and unless the event was in NYC or DC I wouldn't be able to go.
-
You don't know 027LB? :P
-
You don't know 027LB?
Poor Badnik, he has never met his brother.
-
I wanna meet Naryar to say I did.
-
You don't know 027LB? :P
BESIDES 027.
-
But you didn't say that, so how were we to know? :P
-
I know three people live in Minnesota. Heck, Click beetle lives like 20 minutes away from me.
But yea, no one has money to travel to or from france to meet Nary xD
-
i wouldnt go because thats kind of a dumb idea
-
@ Sage: Does that mean you know Click IRL? And why do you still have your birthday avatar on?
I'm in Vancouver, which is probably the westernmost point of anyone here.
As for GTM con, a) there just isn't enough people to make it worthwhile and b) it would destroy all of the images I have of you guys. I like to think that Naryar has a moustache and wears a beret, Pwnator is a 4-1/2 foot tall asian kid who knows kung-fu, Reier is an android, Madiaba wears huge glasses and a lab coat, Scrap Daddy looks like Ellis from Left 4 Dead 2, Sage has a Gandalf beard at 16 or however old he is, etc.
-
What do you think about me?
-
Yea I need a new avatar don't I? xD
No, I've never met the guy, unfortunately.
Yes, I'm 16.
-
And let me guess, You have a demonic image of me robo?
I wouldn't mind meeting joeblo, but seeing he is over the other side of australia, it would be hard :/
Wounder where Ian is though
-
a meeting would be akwarddddd
-
it would be rather on the odd side
-
I wouldn't go. None of you are chicks. :P
-
LOL i was thinking the same thing!
-
i would go, so I could tie sparkey to a tree.
-
I'd beat the shat outa you.
-
i would love to see that
-
I can flat footed side kick a hole through the side of a cardboard shipping box, I Sk8, roller blade/skate, free run, free jump, and I know how to street fight.
-
Wow, street fighting. How would you go agaisnt an Army Cadet?
Besides, thats what you say. Can't really trust what people say over the internet
-
Did anyone notice he said "CARDBOARD"?
Hahaha go break a plank with your fist and get your black belt, then tell me you can fight.
-
Wow, a cardboard box.
-
isn't sparkey in the uk?
Because their version of street fighter is 2 pale guys throwing tea at each other and calling each other wankers
No offence :P
-
Did anyone notice he said "CARDBOARD"?
Hahaha go break a plank with your fist and get your black belt, then tell me you can fight.
I'm a black belt, they taught me how to kill a man with my bare hands. They never taught me how to break bricks, but I think it's good tradeoff, no?
-
Making a strait hole into a box with your foot is not easy.
I can kill two, well, knock you out and smother you, wich is weak, but I can knock you out.

I would be fine with ACAMS putting ads on GTM to raise money to get people to be able to come. We could open a signups and maybe limit it to like 20 notable people
Like:
ACAMS

Badnik
Sage
Nary
JD

We just invite the notable people that we have NOW and ACAMS can raise a good some of money through ads to get us all to the meeting spot.
-
If there were that many RA2 legends in one room it would havok explode from RA2 awesomeness. And by that I mean it would turn into an IRL flamewar, kind of like almost every thread on this forum... Including this one! :D
-
Pwnator is a 4-1/2 foot tall asian kid who knows kung-fu
Oh, so close! I'm actually 5'9" and I have absolutely no experience in Kung-fu. I do know a little about Wing Chun, though. :P
-
As I remember, K-3, JD, and I live pretty close to each other.

No, Reier. Jeez...

Sparkey's not notable at all. At least not in a positive way.
And is talking (https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/73846bovinebottombiscuits.png) as usual.
(Ha ! Take that, word-filter!)

If anyone's wondering, I'm not ginger.
SUCK ON THAT GF93
-
I'd like to meet FOTEPX and GF93...
-
Not meeeee?
O_O
o_o
-_-
:'(
-
I love the fact Somebody posted the Admins, then himself, then a random assortment of other members with no real thought :P
there isnt even Madiaba on that list :O.. he would be one person I would like to meet IRL
-
NO ONE LIKES ME
-
I didnt forget anyone...
You are all in the etc. ^_^
I would be fine with the GTM Con in Boston. I am only about ah hour and a half to two hours away.
-
S_R, you live in/near New England? Huh.
Somebody, I didn't know you were up this way either....(ain't never had to look at your IP address, cause you ain't never done no trouble makin'; so my ignorance is your fault :p ).
Edit: Wait, I'm an "Etc."? :ban_smily:
-
for me its about a 2 day drive to boston
-
10 hour flight for me.
:P
-
I think I'm one of the farthest dudes away from another dude that I can think of.
-
I live in the most isolated city in the world :gawe: (thats actually a fact)
but Boston is a 37 second flight away if I use my superpowers
-
But you see Mad, being an etc. is like a badge of honor. It means that you are so special that your name cannot be seen by these mortal eyes... hehehe
NH Born and raised :D
-
Wow, i did'nt think this thread would be this popular.
I have proof that i have RA2, what GK said and the fact i have vid of RA2 on my channel off my camera (The old one, not the one i have now with pretty good quality)
-
As I remember, K-3, JD, and I live pretty close to each other.
Hmm, I wouldn't object to having it in Boston; have we got any other part of the world with a cluster of 4 GTM members?
I know I, Picnic Attack and S_M live near each other. Anyone else in South Bucks?
-
WHY IS THERE 5 PAGES IN THIS THREAD!!!!
-
I guess it`s because people posted something. But I`m pretty unsure about that.
-
Thyrus you are hilarious.

IRW lives about 45 mins from me.

Reier where do you live
BTW i live near S32 i think
-
Reier lives on Eris.
-
G.K. don't you live in Buckinghamshire also?
Exhibit A:
I'm 15, live in Bucks, UK.
-
Reier where do you live

Earth
:P
Central US. Nearest town has 200 tops.
-
@SM:
I know I
-
Reier, if we guess, will you tell us?
-
He lives 16 miles from the center of the earth. I mean US.
-
Wyoming?
-
By the look of Squirrel Monkey's sig, he doesn't live far from me. about 30mins to an hour
-
He's in Wycombe, not MK.
-
Wyoming?
LOL you need to work on your geography. :P And it's not 16, GK.
-
14 or something, I forget.
-
Boston is about 2 hours away for me too.
But, I am not attending unless you all bring your hot single moms. :P
-
Does Reier live in Kansas.
-
Somewhere in the midwest I would assume.
-
Eris, if that counts.
:P
-
But, I am not attending unless you all bring your hot single moms. :P
LoL...WTF there is two possible reactions to that
-
If anyone lives in cyprus,greece,(like the heck those two would happen)or eastbourne,i could go there......IF MY MUM HAD OVER 500 HUNDRED POUNDS IN HER CREDIT CARD DAMNIT!
-
cool story bro.
-
Y'all are talking about just getting together and meeting people, but you're forgetting the REALLY cool thing about gathering IRL...
Massive LAN tournament! (BBEANS Live anyone?)
Imagine: Rent a room with a whole bunch of computers. Everyone brings a bot on a USB drive. Brackets are drawn up, everyone fights their matches lag-free via LAN, and the whole tournament gets done in a day. And of course, there would need to be cash prizes for incentive to fly/drive all the way to wherever the con was held.
Of course it's not going to happen... but it's still a cool idea.
-
BRILLIANT
-
I agree.
-
:O when I become a millionaire im so doing that :P
-
Same here. I will send 500 dollars for those who will come. Or something else... Like... I rent a motel, where every member can sleep.
-
To make that fair, CB, we'd need to let Sage use some BFE. You know as well as I do that with his driving, he couldn't beat SFTW with a 36HS :P
-
Scrap Daddy looks like Ellis from Left 4 Dead 2.
Did I ever tell you 'bout the time my friend R0B0SH4RK...

Why is it that all GTM Members think that Spambots sell Viagra?
-
Why is it that all GTM Members think that Spambots sell Viagra?
Well the forum stats currently show the male to female ratio as 40.3 to 1
Apparently the clever spambots see this stat.
There was that one time we had a Spambot peddling Womens Skiwear, jewelry, and whatnot. But Barbie had not been around in while and Scourge of teh Galaxy had not joined yet. Poor timing I guess. I am sure that both of them would have snatched up some Skibunny outfits.
Barbie would have gotten the pink one with baby seals on it.
Scourge prolly would have gotten the orange one to use for Naruto Cosplay.
-
Getting even some of us to a face-to-face may be extremely difficult. (ACAMS and I almost overlapped while I was at a business convention for Intel in Louisana)
There is other ways to consider that could happen, like a Webcam virtual conference. There is software that gathers multiple webcams to a group session.
Food for thought...

The whole idea of a bunch of guys in a room talking about stacking(god yes) in a room is just hilarious. I mean really, what would we talk about? :P
Oh, and i would host this party if anyone wants to come to the coolest state in the usa, NEW JERSEY!!!
-

Thanks for giving me something something to laugh about lol
Starcore's idea is not that bad actually.
-
it would be more like.... hey
wassup
ummm nothing much
errrr... so ya
I like the effe glitch
me too
ummmmm ya so glitches are fun
i agree
umm ya this is awkward
you bet
you know what?
what
this sucks
umm
im leaving
-
I think some of us have better social skills then that :P
GK seems really talkative.. he could just make all conversations and we all just listen
-
I know was just meaning some people like sparklett and them...
btw your avatar makes me feel like i am being watched
-
becasue you all are mwhahaha
-
My social skills fail miserably, and I'd never be able to start conversations with loads of people. I'd say that's.... Naryar's job.
-
Webcamming's not a bad idea. The new version Skype apparently supports multi-person video conferences. I'll look around.
-
It could be possible - cos we're all in different time zones - to have this webcam conference over 24 hours or something, then people won't have to get up in the middle of the night or skip work etcetc, if you get what I mean.
-
Sounds like a great idea.
I think we should do webcam conferences. Prehaps once every couple of months.
-
What about people with no webcams?
-
BUY ONE.
Just kiddin', I'm sure there must be some kinda way for you guys to join the chat and like type, like on normal IM.
-
i think ill be able to webchat
-
I'm setting up a conferencing server called dimdim. It looks pretty cool because it doesn't require anything apart a webbrowser with Flash installed (and, of course, a mike and a webcam).
-
like TS or OOvOO?
-
Well we would have to just write down the time zones and figure out the best one for all of us to be there. Nearly all of us are USA or UK, so morning here would basically be afternoon there. And I know that Joe is exactly 12 hours from me so if we got the right day, maybe during the summer (there goes school) and on a saturday (no work) it could work.
-
Yeah, like TeamSpeak, Ventrilo or Mumble but with video.
(I also have a Mumble server if anybody cares. nectarine.q3k.org, port 1236. Use it if you want to)
-
A webcam is a heck of alot cheaper to acquire than any amount of travel.
And for those that were unable to procure or install a webcam, yes they could voice and/or text for the conference.
As to things we could do in such a meeting.
* Meet&Greet time (see the people you have been chatting with for months to years)
* Show off real life projects (bots built or being built, Gundam collections, Lego replicas of RA2 bots)
* Discuss types of tournaments we all would like to do (voice and video chat can do in minutes what can take weeks to months of forum chat)
* Teamwork brainstorm on projects that have been dormant or non-starters (Wiki, new AI packs, new Arenas, mods, RA2 Servers)
Yes it could be done multiple times at different times of the day to accomodate people that were unable to attend prior sessions.
And yes the shy could watch the recap videos, or get up the nerve and/or HW to attend the next one in greater depth.
Starcore
-
Well it COULD be used for just meetings and things. And then maybe like every few months or so we could have an everyone invited meeting, in the sense that some meetings could be invite-only type things to keep out people who shouldnt be there (need to know basis type thing).
And we should be able to ban people for like not showing up without further notice or spreading viruses or doing inappropriate things.
-
Gundam collections
:bigsmile:
-
I think that if we do a teleconference thing it should definitely be on a weekend. On a Saturday there wouldn't be any issues with work or school or anything.
-
Well not too sure about work...
-
I pretty much like the idea. But I`m unable to install my new webcam. may try to install the old one again.
-
Well not too sure about work...
correct, my work hours can be any time frame between 8am - 11pm on any day of the week.
-
When talking about availability, can we post both in local and group time (I suggest GMT)?
I'm free 16:15-20:00 weekdays
10:00-20:00 weekends

My current webcam is crap, it makes everything so dark, I need over 9000 different lights to make the picture captured atleast normal brightness.
Im aviable pretty much 24/7 because I got no work or school at the moment, but my ususal awake times are 12:00-2:00 GMT+2(note 24 hour clock system) sometimes(like today) I wake up alot later like 14:00-15:00.
If this webcam con is ago I just might get a new webcam.
