Quintessential Convention

[acushla]

Has anybody ever given some thought to a 'QUINTESSENTIAL CONVENTION?' Might be fun to actually meet the people we spend TIME on-line with. Where would we hold it? We could find out who would want to attend...mark each person with a red pin on a map and then choose the place that everybody would have to travel more or less the same distance in order to reach it!

[Todd The Kiwi]

hmmm, i can only fit about 8 people on my deck
so you guys should start sending me cool stuff to secure your spot aye ;)
an equal distance away from everyone would be the centre of the earth ha ha ha:confused:

[hedge]

I reckon you canadians could pull something. Its not quite 15 hours of flight time for you guys :P
Us aussies (hehe the two or three of us) and the kiwis could get something going on down under ;) (complete with stubbies... of course ) :beer: :beer:

[Rex_Mundi_Incarnit]

Im currently not going anywhere. Im a 'poor' student and i dont have the money. :P ;)

Ive been thinking about it though. It would be a sweet thing to do.

[jkrzok]

I say do it in Toronto. Two reasons: I can be there in an hour if I have no fear (of speeding, crashing and dying). And no travel time would leave Paul more time for development. :cheeky:

I'm sure you understand the numbers. :cheeky:

[Rex_Mundi_Incarnit]

I say, why not the Netherlands aye? ;) We've got plenty of flights coming in and out of the country.

..of course we understand the numbers...what are you trying to say? QUINTESSENTIAL isn't worth the money? Nah...I KNOW that isn't it!

What I'm really writing about is the website you give below ...org. It doesn't matter what browser I try to access this from the server can never be found. So...is there something I'm missing here (like...does it REALLY exist?) or is there a problem?

Sure it would be worth the money. But that doesn't change the fact that I'd have to have the money. :cool:

As for the link. If you take a closer look of the address of it you notice that it's not a http-link at all. So it's not supposed to take you to any webpage but to the qcd irc channel. However, if you don't have any irc software installed it won't do much for you.There's a java client here (http://www.slashnet.org/clients.php) if you wish to drop by and don't wish to install any new software for the purpose.

[rorythedog]

I'm up for it. It would have to be in Europe or Canada though. Australasia is just too far away. And I don't dig spiders :cry:

[BALTY]

I'm sure you understand the numbers. :cheeky:
Yes I used to be a Skycap, when working my way through school. I know the airport codes real well too! I don't like the numbers though (pricey).

I thought this forum was one big - on going convention! You can just check me out in my profile, LOL.

Oh Hey great idea... Lets go to "South bass island" on Lake Erie. Pat Daily will sing his drink-get-stoned-and-get-laid-songs at night, :beer: and we can go boating during the day. Say?...> July 24-30th. Do a "Cedar Point" Amusement Park outing(if you like roller coasters). Water slide park another. Fish on another! Golf once or twice, at Maumee Bay State Park (Good old Scottish hills style course). Check out a winery. :pirate:

[Todd The Kiwi]

And I don't dig spiders :cry:NZ only has Avondale spiders, which can (and usually do) grow bigger than a human hand :normal:
(they were used in Arachnophobia) YUK YUK YUK YUK YUK
Australia i'm glad to say rules the 'freaky animal' roost though :cheeky:

[rorythedog]

O man, you can't say "only has..." and "...bigger than a human hand" in the one sentence. Not when you're talking aboot spiders.

I'm about an hour away, from Putin Bay that is. :biggrin: Last year, however, there were a large number of people who got sick while there. Some strange disease. So...we need to keep one member of the community in a safe,secure location to keep the community going if everyone else dies.

[rorythedog]

Surely we'll need two to keep the community going. And going by the male-female ratio discussed elsewhere, you can count me out of that.

Anyone up for hiking anywhere in a mountainous region? New Zealand South Island would be cool. Then after the couple days hike we dig up some hot chicks and make them dress up with qcd T-shirts lol :)

Hey no fair, Australia only has like 8 of the worlds 10 most poisonous of EVERYTHING :silly:
But yeah I wouldn't mind going to NZ, I could use those frequent flyer points i've had since 1995 (if they're still usuable that is :P), as long as the local 'wildlife' is worthy that is hehe

[Hanzo]

Hey people, make it on Panama
:cheeky:
Nice tropical weather, beers from all over the planet and women for all of you !

[Rex_Mundi_Incarnit]

Are there volcanoes in Panama?

[Shadowraven]

More to the point are there any spiders that are "only as big as a human hand" there? My idea of a big spider is anything over 2-inches, the idea of one as bis as my hand gives me the creeping-meemies. I can't say much for Ohio, but at least we don't have any obscenely sized bugs here! :ermm:

[Todd The Kiwi]

ha ha ha you really want to lose some sleep?
google up a WETA :cross-eye
these things are found new zealand wide
and are not bothered about coming inside your house or car or shoes etc...
thank f*%k they aren't poisonous but they can jump like over a metre
so humans are well within their reach, yuk!

another good one we have here is a HUHU bug/beetle/grub.
yeesh, these things can fly :depressed (not the grub, they just wiggle, and taste like peanut butter, really)

Just so long as it's not a spider (and it doesn't appear to be, I looked). Other than that NZ seems to be a pretty cool country. I just wish that I could afford to visit it. Haven't been to Canada yet, been everywhere else courtesy of the Air Force though. Canada looks nice. We've planned to vacation up there when we can.

[Todd The Kiwi]

I wouldnt want to miss a trip up mount Cook and plant the QCD flag there ha ha.people die on Mount Cook all the time man, watch your step :ermm: cbs link (http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2005/03/09/world/main678927.shtml)

OKay i'll reconsider. I'll start with the little mountains first on which to plant QCD flags. :)

!ha ha ha yeah we have some spectacular tramping here
we have an orchard here called Lothlorien Orchards they are in a place called Warkworth
and make the meanest orange juice i've ever tried
mixed 50/50 with vodka you CAN'T TASTE THE VODKA :cross-eye serious aye.
however, i think Mt Doom was C.G.I

Cyprus
http://www.cyprus-forums.com/maps/images/cyprus10b.jpg

its right in the center of the world map... Too bad my country is divided in two after the turkish intrusion in 1974.
Has anyone visited Cyprus before?

Nope, but i hear there is some interesting geology there ;)

I have couple of years ago. Don't remeber which town, though. Somewhere on the south coast. Nice country. :)

[o2xygen]

About the Geology, many researchers come to the mountain Troodos for research because the way it was made (with earthquakes etc millions years ago)
I mean its not like every other mountain that the top is made by volcanic terrain, but by sedimentary... This way you can research the sea with going deep down the sea, which costs... If you go to troodos mountain (when its not covered with snow) you will certainly see small cockleshells here and there..

It is also believed that Cyprus is the place that is nearest to Atlantis...
There was one researcher that said that was very close to discovering Atlantis but unfortunately he passed away two months ago... But, you know, there is much competition to this field so nobody reveals anything to public

Perhaps you guys might wanna go to atlantis (http://www.atlantis.com/) for the convention. I've heard rumors that a day in atlantis is like 1,000.00 dollars a day or something.

I've heard Cyprus IS/WAS Atlantis.

So what exactly are you hiding from us, you Atlantian you.

I see no reason why you chaps in the USA and Canada shouldn't meet up and have the 1st ever Q-Convention. Then post the photos here of the day and make us (the people far far away) really jealous and so we pile up enough money to try and come to next convention the year thereafter... :cheerful:

[Protocol]

How many members here are from Down Under? Maybe we could organise one here.

theres like 3 or 4 active members from oz, and another few from kiwiland, so yeah we could do a cross tasman qmp convention :P

And how about one in Europe, aye? :) I dont know who lives in the vicinity though... Madjo? O2Xgen? Rory? Qaz? Tokelil? Tropics? Sheepeh? Zayoos? Matty?

yo Aaron, keen on a beer mate? :biggrin:
if we have to go to OZ we'd better take our own brew ha ha ha

i reckon that's a good idea about the yanks and canucks all hooking up aye

p.s this site (http://www.coolslang.com/in/canadian/index.php) said it was ok to call a canadian a canuck, it's not something we say here though
hence me googling :ponder:

I have heard on a number of occasions. Not actually a cement truck, but something that looks very similar. Maybe it is a tale something like the Loch Ness monster.

Yes. We can have a few in different areas of the world and then submit the pictures for all to see.

My thoughts precisely...divide the world into as many sections as were needed to make it realistic that everybody could attend.

Erm yep vicinity is the right word here i guess ... Germany currently, but i will move to Austria by the end of the year. I'm not going anywhere currently though, i just got back home from a 6 week stay in hospital after an accident on my motorbike. They needed 8 surgeries to fix my right foot. Now learning how to walk again ... :scared:

If Todd's post made you laugh...then you're going to be alright!

Done that myself a couple of times...no fun.

Eventually sold the bike...got really tired of facing death every day.

Also figured I'd quit while I was ahead and a body all in one.

Every-once in a while though...sigh. ;)

Rex, I like the idea a lot, but can't afford to travell around Europe right now.
I can say the same for myself at the moment too (though I really hope that that is about to change) :)
I think a European meet would be a good idea.
ghe.. how about handout cds with the latest version of QMP on it for passers-by? :)

With so many changed avatars I was beginning to wonder who all these new people wew! :confused:

Hope you get better soon Tropics. I know from experience how much an accident on a bike can hurt! :hurt:
Glad you're all right otherwise. One guy I know lost a leg on his, stupid truck cut him off. And he rode a BIG bike, 1500cc.

I don't know about anyone else here, but Toronto was suggested as one place, seems to be well located for most of us in the U.S. and Canada. That would get my vote. About 8-9 hrs away from me, I think.

[Tropics]

thanks to all of you, well at least the worst is over now. i have internet access again yay! and pizza and beer!!! :beer:
i won't be driving this year, and the bike is a total loss too - but at least the accident wasn't my fault (old ladies shouldn't be allowed to drive cars :cross-eye ) so her insurance will have to pay everything, the hospital, the bike, the clothes ....

I would hope the insurance company would kick in something for the pain and suffering. I also hope they understand the theraputic value of beer and pizza and would subsidize that as well. :beer: :beer: :beer:

About 8-9 hrs away from me, I think.well if it is in July, I might actually get a chance to be there... because for my new job I have to follow a course in I believe State University of Ohio, which, if I'm not mistaken, is in Columbus, and that is 'pretty close by' ;)
but that is all loose sand on my end,
1) I don't know for sure where I'm going to be exactly... That Columbus thing I said is basically an educated guess... The only thing I know for sure is that I have to go to a university in Ohio, and which one that is? dunno. :)
2) what exactly they want from me there
3) how much work it is going to be...

[Shadowraven]

We welcome you to Ohio! The armpit of the U.S.! :knocked-o

Hehehe, not really, but it isn't anything spectacular. Columbus is alright, at least there is more to do there than there is in Dayton. Dayton is definitely no great shakes, even though if does have the 3rd largest Air Force base by it, Wright-Patterson. Which may now be the 2nd largest, since one is gone now.

Ohio is just basically run-of-the-mill Mid-West, nothing fancy. I hope you enjoy your stay here though. Some parts of the state have some great scenery. The best part of Ohio though, is up by Lake Erie, particularly Sandusky.

How long were you supposed to be here anyway, Madjo?

What were you studying again?

[madjo]

We welcome you to Ohio! The armpit of the U.S.! :knocked-o

Three weeks...

I study informatics, and my job (starting in June) is called "Test controller", basically a software-tester for financial companies (banks, insurance, and the like)

[BALTY]

Hey, MadJo. Ohio is alright! rolling hills in the east, southeast, less in the southwest and flat on the west and north west.

Some people say it's "HI" in the middle and "Round" on both sides... hehe. :cheeky: Climate sucks in the Winter (at least for me). Fall here is the mostest, and bestest place you'd wanna be!

Anywho! OSU is in Columbus (center of the state- flat). OU is in Athens (that south eastern area of the state that I mentioned). Close to the hillbillies!
Hope you get it figured as to where you'll be!

NOTE: Just stay away from Engagement Ohio!!!! -- Please please!!!

You should really like it down there. It's not big, but from what I understand, Athen's is a really nice town. It's mostly a college town though. It's set right in the middle of the Wayne National Forest so if you like scenery, there should be plenty there for you. Enjoy your trip down there Madjo. That's a nicer section of Ohio.

No it's on the other Island (South Island). But theres plenty of volcanic material where Todd lives too.

an equal distance away from everyone would be the centre of the earth

Bad math. Even if you include all living humans at a given point in time, as opposed to the subset of forum members at that same point.

IMO, a Quinnvention would be the center of the Earth, if only for a brief moment.

And yes, I must hijack all termquinologies. It is quintessential to my nature.

[BALTY]

Mount Doom hahaha, that's UNREAL!:silly:

[B.E.L.B.H.D.]

I would think that somewhere near Illinois would be the best location. There are a number of people in Ohio, New York, DC, Missouri, Wisconsin, Indiana, and eastern (I think: It's the only inhabitable area of Canada. Right?:silly: ) Canada. Acushla and Roj can jump on the Falls and come down. Todd can swim across and then trek across the country. Rex and some others have a bit of a journey ahead of them though. Sorry.

You have found the solution. Let us videoquinference soon!

What we need now is someone on whose neck to hang the bell. Speak up if you have any professional experience organizing a video conference.I think it is a brilliant idea...and not just because I thought of it. Perhaps someone could do one of those Poll things we like so much and see how many people would be interested in participating in a video conference.

I'm going to hire Brad Pitt to be me that night.

[Todd The Kiwi]

heh a giant white board thingy could be fun.

[rorythedog]

I think it's a ridiculous idea. Like I'd want to see all your ugly mugs on a video! That would be an 18 rating at least. All of us meeting in person might be fun but not on video. I do not 'perform'.

[Rex_Mundi_Incarnit]

I got the best idea yet! How about we hold the quinnference right here! Genius! :cyclops:

What's that you say? We are already doing it? Oooh my bad. :carrot:

One of us quickly needs to get real rich soon and he can pay for all flights for us, that be great!:bulb:

Next.

[BALTY]

I need a cam.
Any hand-me-downs?

[Solon]

Erm .. I managed to remove Rex's post somehow...? I think I was holding shift + control + left clicking.

Weird, huh?http://img47.imageshack.us/img47/4048/rexhasleftthebuilding9gn.jpg

Anyway, I think Rex was in the process of offering us all free flights etc. Go Rex! Nice one! I know you've got a fortune hidden in that lab of yours... :silly:


Edit: I just completely removed Acushla from the thread: http://img149.imageshack.us/img149/5129/acushlaisremoved2up.jpg
Hail my new moderating powers! haha

[Rex_Mundi_Incarnit]

I think it's your browser because i can still see my post #93. And i'd all offer you a flight to my place but I just cant seem to locate my private jet anymore...

[B.E.L.B.H.D.]

It is interesting to think how everyone would act face-to-face. I picture: acushla rolling up in some wild pink limo in a technicolor dreamcoat with a cain, anyone who wished to speak to roj would put in a written request, biggman would bring along his nintendo, rex, todd, and rory would be the most easy-going, and someone like fatal error would place snipers around our location and do some recon before he made his appearance.:laugh: :laugh:

And then...we would probably just sit around saying "Remember that one post...? How about the one where...?"

[rorythedog]

"Easy going". Excellent! I'm printing that out right now. :knocked-o

[Solon]

I think it's your browser because i can still see my post #93. Yeah I know, it's just that when you double/tripple click on something within the post whilst holding shift and ctrl, it removes what you clicked on. Try it out. It's fun for a few seconds.

I picture: acushla rolling up in some wild pink limo in a technicolor dreamcoat with a cain And perhaps accompanied by Mr Slave from South Park? haha.


B.E.L.B.H.D - remember that one post...

The first post that comes to mind is the one where ...
You're already doing it ;)

[acushla]

"Easy going". Excellent! I'm printing that out right now. :knocked-oI guess that pretty well rules out my American Pimp disguise: '...rolling up in some wild pink limo in a technicolor dreamcoat with a cain.'

Oh well, it was good while it lasted.:silly:

[acushla]

And perhaps accompanied by Mr Slave from South Park? haha.More likely a couple of girls from the Black Fashion Show!.:cool:

[Solon]

Are you sure I can't tempt you?

I think he'd go perfectly with your sparkly dreamcoat. :silly:

My long post that got deleted. I should have saved it. Some of my best work.

We never gotten into it, so what can I say? :)

[madjo]

biggman would bring along his nintendo, Ah ok, so I'd have at least one other to play against. :)

[B.E.L.B.H.D.]

Yeah, everyone would probably end up playing eventually.:laugh:

Especially with BrainTraining, that game is highly addictive... I'm not kidding you, my mom (a non-game-playing person[1]) is playing that game almost daily.

[1] I dislike the word 'gamer', the same way as I dislike calling someone who reads books a 'booker'. or someone who watches movies a 'movier'.

Reading books and watching movies are both passive activities, therefore you are correct. Playing games is an active activity (obviously) therefore, just as someone who plays football is a footballer, so someone who plays computer games is a gamer. Ipso facto.

Actually, in this country the term 'gaming' is usually used to refer to gambling. So a gambler could just as well be described as a gamer. Go figure.

[Solon]

In this country a gambler is a person who gambles and a gamer is a person who plays games... :foureyes:

Hehe imagine if you were called a "playstationer" or a "gameboyer".

When Nintendo releases "Wii" ... a "wiier". Aaah fun.

Just as well the Sega Master System has faded from view then. Euch!

Someone who makes music isn't called a musicer, but a musician. :)

That's fair enough mate. You are labouring under the not inconsiderable handicap of being Dutch after all. :cheeky:

heh, big handicap indeed ;) (btw, I have similar issues with the Dutch language, well more like petpeeves...)

*Rex uses some unholy magic to resurrect this thread*

As some of you might know, I've been to Melbourne last weekend. It's only an hour from Canberra by plane so I couldn't resist to get out any longer as I got a fair bit of cash now (I had nothing starting early March). It's no surprise I met someone else here at the boards. Of course it was no one other than Willow. :) So here's to a good start for a quintessential convention. :beer:

Read our adventures here on my blog (http://weblog.geoverse.eu/) (photos included).

[Todd The Kiwi]

eek! Melbourne looks like Auckland [a bit]

that's so cool too i reckon, real life is wicked :ditsy:

[squeege2]

Very cool Rex....ah.... which one is Willow? Camera shy? har. Glad you guys met and had a good time of it. Awsome pics.

It's up to him if he wishes to reveal himself :)

[WHAT?]

It's up to him if he wishes to reveal himself :)

Very good question. I was thinking the same thing. Why be so shy? Show your faces men!

Signed What? lol:cross-eye :silly:

OH, and... Will we be seeing more photos in the Show Off thread?


Observation: In viewing the sky scrapers, I couldn't help notice all the power lines. I'm surprised that they aren't all buried by today’s’ standards. I mean, how can you parade thru with a tall balloon?;)
