11 11 11

[luke]

So should we have another BurningCon this fall?

[Yagathai]

So should we have another BurningCon this fall?

Though perhaps this year it can be somewhere that isn't circling the ass end of nowhere?

[The Chatty DM]

If you do, I'd love to be there!

I plan to be in NY during the weekend of Comic Con again, so if they coincide, double bonus. If not... well it's only a 70$ train ride away.

[rafial]

What!? You expected us to say no? We're addicts, man! Although this does reduce my chances of ever making it to BGGCon.

[Apreche]

If it's not on a date that conflicts with a bigger con or something, then it's on in a way similar to a big monkey who throws barrels.

[Sam W]

I'm definitely there!

[ogreteeth]

The last one was completely full with a mile-long waitlist when I finally heard about it!

[Bret Gillan]

I live right over here, so I could definitely make it. And would!

Maybe I'll try running another orc game too.

[John Anderson]

I don't think I could swing another trip to the US of A so soon unfortunately.

John


Well shoot John, who else am I gonna test GMless BE on?

[savagehominid]

I would love to go! However, being on the otherside of the country makes it kind-of difficult/expensive. But who knows! Maybe I'll swing it somehow.

[John Anderson]

Paul, I have boundless faith in your ability to sort something out. ;)

I'd love to make it 2 years on the trot, but uncle mastercard won't be happy.

John

[okeefe]

I'm as good as there.

[Joshua Crowe]

If tickets went on sale today I would have bought them, put together a runnig crew, arranged housing and booked the time off before I went home from work tonight.

[pseudoidiot]

If this became a serious thing, I would try to go. I've just started trying to figure out if I can afford to go to GenCon this year. Probably not, which likely means no cons for me this year since Forge Midwest conflicts with my vacation to London.

101010 was blessedly cheap (comparatively). It's a very real possibility I could swing that again.

How soon do you think you'd make a determination, Luke? Even if I decide I can afford GenCon, I definitely couldn't afford both and I'd prefer another BWCon honestly.

[Rafe]

I'd love to but don't think I can. Too expensive for me at this point. :(

[sanjwise]

This time I am not going to miss it.

[bafadam]

With as much stroking as The Podge Cast gives Luke, we can't NOT be at the next one. So there'd better BE a next one.

[ThisIsVictor]

My vote would be to do a west coast con, but I understand if that isn't possible.

--Victor

[pseudoidiot]

No, see, do it somewhere in the middle of the country. That way, everyone (in the US at least), at most, has to travel halfway across the country.

I dunno.. somewhere like Kansas City, maybe? That's pretty central...
<_<
>_>

[luke]

I'd love to but don't think I can. Too expensive for me at this point. :(

We're practically neighbors!

[Totally Guy]

Hey, guess what? My Dad got married this week and I just got a step sister in Long Island City. Count me in!

[BGmeg]

I feel like I need to go, like it's a gaming duty. Plus I wanna.

[Justin in Oz]

The whole opposite side of the planet aspect is the only thing holding me back.

[EarthenForge]

OMG YES.

[jenskot]

I'm there. I'm on a GMing high from this weekend's 4 game marathon. I'd run games in every slot!

[Samnite]

Absolutely!

[Clyde Rhoer]

I voted yes. However sticking with 11-11-11 isn't a good idea. I'm scared to see what your city turns into with a significant snowfall.

[pseudoidiot]

Not to mention what will we do in 2013?

[noofy]

If I can get the leave.... Yup, I'm in! 'specially after missing last year.

[Udo Femi]

11-11-11 somewhere in Europe ?
Hell Yeah !!!

Udo - keep dreaming...

[stormsweeper]

It never snows in November.

[stormsweeper]

Not to mention what will we do in 2013?

I think we'll have bigger things to worry about in 2013.

I can do another con, although I'm not sure I'll be able to attend all of it this time.

[Scullkrusher]

If I lived closer and could afford it I would love to go. Can I get lucky in Kentucky? :(

[John Anderson]

Stupid question time: How committed are you to a 11/11 date, Luke? Is it purely symbolic or could the actual date of the con be different from the 11th of November? Kelly has thrown a real spanner in the works by reminding me that we're heading to Vegas this year and the weekend could be 'tacked on'.
John

[Rafe]

We're practically neighbors!

Actually, I just realized that you've planned this one quite well again, Luke. The 11th is Remembrance Day, which means Remembrance Week for me. I'm off that whole week leading up to the Friday, so I could actually aim to head down on the Weds or Thurs and get a bit more out of the trip.

Alright. Count me in as optimistic. Damn you, peer pressure!

[gooderguy]

i didn't know there was any question. if you burn it, we will come.

[luke]

The actual dates would be Nov 11-13.

-L

[Mindflayer]

I would love to come back to NY for this (spent the last 10 years in Brooklyn and just moved to KC) but its very close to two holidays. I would wonder who will be able to swing travel on that weekend then 2 weeks later for thanksgiving (state siders), then the next month for those who celebrate xmas.

[Bret Gillan]

11/11/11 needs a BE sprint reunion.

[Paul B]

11/11/11 needs a BE sprint reunion.

Sadly, the traitorous John Anderson has decided he has better things to spend his Euros on. Food and electricity, no doubt.

[doctor_madu]

I was too poor and short of leave to make 10 10 10, which left a wound on my heart that has yet to heal. An opportunity for redemption would be received with the warmest regard!

Word.

It's more a case that I wouldn't have the time to get physically and emotionally prepared for another BE sprint. I am a broken man.

[beer is the mind killer]

One problem with this:
SKYRIM (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hGMOMkACtn4&feature=related)!

/although assuming a release date is good is a big assumption

[Totally Guy]

The Burning Con tab at the top of the main site still displays 10-10-10 info. You guys should change it to say "Job well done" or something.

[luke]

I feel like I need to go, like it's a gaming duty. Plus I wanna.

But Meg, Burning Wheel is overly complicated and not much fun. Why spend a weekend playing a game that's like reading War and Peace?

:p

This is why we love Luke. This just dispelled any doubts I had about the trip across the country being worth it.

[luke]

I here I was hoping it was because of my unique perspective on Quincy, Massachusetts or maybe the cover design to Kagematsu.

Travel across the country and enjoy a weekend of witty -- but pained -- banter!

[BGmeg]

:p

No, I just think that it is- I need a good experience like Burning Con to change my mind! As I said, I feel like I need to go.

PS: BurningCon: Quincy????

[luke]

So you didn't like War and Peace?

More evidence that Burning Con 11 11 11 needs to happen.

[Rafe]

Yeah, what okeefe said!

I know everyone's probably exhausted after PAX East, but is 11-11-11 under serious consideration?

[luke]

It's being considered.

[Rafe]

I consider your consideration well considered, and thank you for such consideration.

[ThisIsVictor]

All Things Considered?

[buzz]

Yes, please! I totally missed out on 10-10-10 and would love to make up for it.

If you did it somewhere int he Midwest, that'd be even better. Granted, it'll be colder and maybe snowier.

[Enlil]

Both 5-5-5 and 10-10-10 were blasts - I hope 11-11-11 happens!

Christian

[firstborne]

Make it so!

I'm finally free from deployments and the army in general.

Make it happen, and I promise I will bring the pain!

[John]

I don't think I could swing another trip to the US of A so soon unfortunately.
John

yip john probably true that it would pound my wallet too much, BUT...

maybe the UKers could do something local and time concurrent

[Aramis]

From western Alaska, halfway across the country is Seattle, WA...

[zabieru]

I think the country you're halfway across, at that point, is Canada.

[John]

your having a giraffe !

btw just looked flight GBP378 = U$616 today.... oh the pain of indecision...

[Paul B]

I think the country you're halfway across, at that point, is Canada.

Oh please! Canada's not a country.

[zabieru]

Oh please! Canada's not a country.

I heard they leveled up, actually.

[Ibex]

Anyone from Argentina ? We are planning our 11 11 11 in Rosario, Santa Fe. (http://maps.google.com.ar/maps?hl=es&q=rosario+santa+fe&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.&biw=1280&bih=629&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hq=&hnear=0x95b6539335d7d75b:0xec4086e90258a557,Rosari o,+Santa+Fe&gl=ar&ei=dFLoTf_rHZHEgAe1r5y4AQ&sa=X&oi=geocode_result&ct=image&resnum=1&ved=0CB8Q8gEwAA)

[stormsweeper]

Oh please! Canada's not a country.

They sort of are, since they asked very nicely for independence, likely while passing a tray of cucumber sandwiches.

[Aramis]

I think the country you're halfway across, at that point, is Canada.

Dude, the western Aleutians are further south than that... Now, from Anchorage, sure, halfway to NY is in eastern BC...

[zabieru]

Dude, the western Aleutians are further south than that... Now, from Anchorage, sure, halfway to NY is in eastern BC...

Right, but if you go from where you are to where I am, how much of this country have you actually crossed? Though you're right, you are too far south, so I'll revise my initial heckling to "the country you're halfway across is the Pacific Ocean."

[luke]

Guys, make your own thread about the fantasy geography of the hinterlands.

[Clyde Rhoer]

So the new tab for "Burning Con," on the front page means this has moved from consideration to active planning? Do we no longer consider your consideration, and start tentatively marking calendars?

[luke]

We've made no progress on this because we do not have any money. I would love to do it, but we just can't afford to.

[donbaloo]

11-11-11 is the first day of MACE in Highpoint, NC. You guys should make it down again and just declare a hostile takeover with Burners from all over descending on High Point. I would love to see table upon table of BW there...

[Clyde Rhoer]

Lack of money is a story I understand.

[Paul B]

We've made no progress on this because we do not have any money. I would love to do it, but we just can't afford to.

...he said, after setting Gold at the absurdly low cost of $25.

You should work in government!

[luke]

Feel free to start another thread about that.

[Sam W]

How much money do you need to make 111111 happen? Or is that an inappropriate question(apologies in advance if it is)?

[pseudoidiot]

There's always the option of setting up a Kickstarter (http://www.kickstarter.com/). I've been seeing more and more of them lately and it's a pretty great idea. And if it's too late at this point in the year, it's always worth considering in the future perhaps.

I second this. People seem to be uncommonly generous for gaming stuff. Technoir, for instance, got like, triple what they needed.

[Kublai]

That's a good idea! Bulldogs targeted 3k and pulled in over 11k!

[stormsweeper]

I don't think a gaming convention meets their guidelines for projects.

[pseudoidiot]

I haven't gone and read their guidelines, but there's a local convention here in KC that used Kickstarter this year.

[fictionalbeing]

Vegas.

Just Vegas.
