If we go in 2016 I'm okay and don't have to renew mine. If it's in 2017 I have to get a new one/renew. Ughhh it'll be 10 years since I went to Europe. I definitely need to go before then. I NEED MORE STAMPS.

I didn't even get a stamp for going into Canada it was really depressing
so hype. LETS GO!
My name is also not on that list. FOA, it's time to get angry.
sorry guys I've had a lot of responses ;-;
Here is the list we have so far who are interested in attending! Please let me know if I should add or remove your name.
Additionally, I believe we have officially landed on London in 2016.Quote:

Thanks to everyone who filled out our survey!
London, baby! :3
Also being a semi-londoner this helps me a lot :D
Being a total facking Londoner, if y'all need me to spy locations, provide pricing information etc then let me know and I'll ask about.
That would be grand. xD Honestly, would have no idea where to start - feel free to get the ideas flowing (although it will be like a year before we have to make any big decisions regarding this).
Yeah, it'll probably be a year before we begin looking. But venue prices would probably be the first place.
We have around 40ish people wanting to attend right now. I hope we get get more than that as time moves closer with peoples' plans changing and possibly new members joining, but there's also room for people to cancel and not be able to attend as well.
Ideally, I would love about 60 (or more) people to show up for a live ciddies event. We can arrange tourist ideas for everyone for the rest of their stay and everyone can break off into groups the next day or however long they will be there.
40 - 60 people would indicate a small - medium sized function room unless you wanted to full on Oscars table it with small groups etc. I'll look in to both sort of options. Any more than a hundred and we might have to consider a full on venue hire.
For convenience want to drop me in the EC group? I can then discuss this more privately with you guys without spamming the public thread up.
I've already got mine covered:
Attachment 53143
I thought of one for Shorty, so if I go to this meetup, she is going to punch me in the face.
http://i.imgur.com/xZDImhB.png
Yep, you are playing with fire, friend
Oh London, great! Surely manageable for me, dont even need a new passport :D
I'm trying to get more people from FFXIV to join, I'd also volunteer to organise a bit and communicate important infos for those who don't look at the forum on a regular base. If you need me to help with anything, just give me a shout.
I think the idea of hiring something a bit further away from the city is great, the prices sure are better. It would be grand if we had like a small house to ourselves with different rooms/apartments and one dining room or something like that.
You should probably bring a passport anyway, as it might be the only form of valid identification for you in the UK. You might not need it to cross the borders, but you will need it if either the police or airport security wants you to prove your identity.
Well I have an Identity Card which is totally okay in the EU-Zone ^^ And it's valid until..2022 or something like that, so I won't need a new one until 2016 xD Passports are a lot more expensive and take more time to get. But thanks for your concern ^^
One thing I would recommend is to do this event when the UK kids are in school. If you do it during the summer holidays then you are looking at accommodation being at least twice as expensive. :)
that's np we can all just sleep in daniel's living room
Well if you have those, that's fine. Those EU-zone ID cards are just really uncommon over here, I guess. Also, passports aren't really that expensive, are they? At least in Norway they're just like 30 bucks and are valid for 10 years.
I guess perhaps they are uncommon because norwegians most often just go to other nordic countries, where they generally accept regular credit/bank cards with your photo on as good enough identification, and for everything else, we just use our passports. I think it's really idiotic that my driver's license, which is valid for all of europe, isn't good enough for identification in the same european countries as the license is valid for.
y'all will be several hundred miles away from where you need to be if you're planning on sleeping at daniel's
They are definitely more expensive here and if I get a new one, it has to be biometric I think. But as I plan to go to NZ/Canada and other strange places in those next few years, I'll need one anyway ^^ But for the EoFF meetup, I can concentrate on other things :D
I think it's possible to find a place to stay at without traveling hours to Daniel's home:D
It's like £70+ for a passport here. xD
Eurozone ID's and drivers licenses are a good idea. Also fair warning to my fellow countrymen... bring ID. The reason being if you decide to go for a drink in a bar/club many operate on an "No ID, no entry" policy.
Count yourselves lucky you are not in Australia. As if it weren't hard enough to afford to leave, it's also around $300 for a passport.
Good lord
I looked up the price of flights from here to Australia just out of curiosity
I had no idea a plane ticket could cost more than twice what a ticket from here to feckin Europe costs
Good gravy I feel for you guys
I'll help where I can too just let me know what you need!
I'll come if I get to kiss everyone on their mouths. That includes the guys.
also what the actual smurf jiro. 300 for a passport? Ours are like 50 aussiebucks. Your passport costs about as much as I expect to pay to get both to and back from the UK.
The UK is really close for me and there are daily departures from my local airport, probably. Even if I had to go via oslo, it'll probably be pretty cheap.
-edit-
I just checked and even if I order tickets for a flight as early as tomorrow, I could get to london for around 120 euro each way. That's like, I've spent more money on games in a single day, so I guess it's more or less guaranteed that I'll come.
dealwithit.png
Just looked up prices for flights. This is doable, even if I have to pay for two plane tickets. We'll see how prices, money overall, and the general situation is in 2016.
EoFF Sephex Meetup and Live Sephex Jokes! - London 2016
"Now that we're all here, I guess you can call this Eyes OFF Final Fantasy!"
(USER HAS BEEN DEPORTED FOR THIS QUOTE)
I want to go to the Doctor Who Experience while i'm there. How's the transportation from London to Cardiff?
I'm sure there are at least a few of you that would like to see that as well :monster:
Put me down on the list of attending. I'll bring my best jihad vest.
Yea book early for a cheaper ticket. There's a direct train so you don't have to worry about changing trains halfway through. You'll have to take an additional train from Cardiff Central to Cardiff Bay but it's like 5 minutes or something, or just walk.
Also bear in mind the exhibition costs like £15 which is I guess is pricey for me cos I don't like Dr Who but if you like it it's probably a total steal and you can go inside the Tardis etc and look at all the props.
After you're done in the bay go find The Grazing Shed in Cardiff Center and eat at the World's ONLY Crop AND Parker Approved Burger Place.
Here is the list we have so far who are interested in attending! Please let me know if I should add or remove your name.

At the event can we have snazzy name badges. I do know a few people's real life faces (The horror!) but clearly name badges are just a given. Perfect sense no? :D
I've had Meet-up dreams as well. Glad I'm not the only one!
Sticky paper name tags, sure!
I had a dream a long time ago involving an EoFF meetup in which the big twist really was that most of the accounts were being controlled by Loony BoB and some bots he set up. Loony BoB had forgotten who were the real people after all of these years that he had the meetup just to see if anyone real would show up.
That does sound quite elaborate.
I'm turning up in a massive steve face mask and double denim
I'll be turning up as a shorter version of the person that people assume I am.
:(
I can see......I may possibly have a decent amount of money by then...legally gained:shifty:
I was thinking of traveling somewhere in the future anyways:)
Then we can "kill" the trolls! :shobon:
what's this thing i'm going to
Had a meet up dream the other night, myself. ****ing Del Murder stood in the corner with a Tiger on a leash. He had the same hat Micheal Jackson had on in the "Annie Are You Okay" song from that one movie of his. I was nervous, but no one else was freaking out about it, so I just stayed quiet. Then it turned out Del Murder was the tiger and the person holding the leash was some sort of hologram. I don't know, man.
That's much less raunchy than my Del dreams.
Lol I'm glad I'm not the only person having dreams about the meetup! Though mine was pretty normal..Everyone came up the stairs in some kind of tree house, and I remember seeing Sarah and Pontus and soooo many more people! It was really exciting. But when I woke up, I had the same idea about name tags xD Might be necessary, at least the first few hours. Or a thread with everyone joining the event with pics and names so I can learn them by heart. I'm afraid of asking every second person awkwardly for their names because I'm not 100% sure.
One more for the ranks!
View Profile: Kamiko - Eyes on Final Fantasy Forums
She hasn't posted here in forever, but she's excited about the possibility of going. I talk to her every day.
Truly, all of the online friends I have that matter to me are at least considering going. This has to work out. It's the greatest trip I could imagine.
I will be visiting Finland 2016 to participate in Kaljakellunta (Beer floating - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) date tba but summer anyways. If opportunity aligns I may make a guest-star appearance.
54 people who are interested in attending! I know this number may not hold up for two years and we'll have cancellations and additions, but I am loving how long this list is :hyper:Quote:

Chemical is now in there twice?
whoops haha
My ego is just so big it needs it's own reservation
she wanted to go so bad she took my spot :v
I have high hopes that something will definitely come of this, even if only a portion of the full list of people can come.
All the people who I've grown close with over the years are at least considering going at the moment, so I hope all goes to plan.
Professor Sephex does it again :ffviwag:
I want to come.
._.
You can't. You have to save your money.
Unless Sarah pays. I like that idea.
I'm paying for myself and that is all.

That list is pretty exciting. Bets on hookups starting now.
Bubba and Mirage. No one can resist Bubba's charms!
I wish I'd placed bets for the Loony BoB Wedding hookup :(
See my message after that. :colbert:
I'm disappointed to see a lack of Spuuky on this list. Consider my ticket canceled.
if del is out then so am i
But my EoFFdex of cool people would be incomplete without you. So come, let us check out a strange country, meet some friends, and play games.
Calliope, it sounds like you got some gossip, lady, and you should treat it like butter: spread it. First one to object has something to hide (or has manners).
If Del and Parker aren't coming, count me out.
sorry guys there was a list here and a list in Events Committee and I thought I got everyone :(

I think someone's already mentioned the importance of name labels for everyone there. I'd suggest having *all* screennames, both past and present, in addition to aactual first names. If you lose track of EoFF for a wee while, someone can become almost unrecognizable after a name change or two.
If we go down that road, I think we may have to do away with a name tag for Quin and just give him one of those giant sandwich board things.
I don't wanna wear a nametag! Why don't we just ask the people we're unsure about? Good way to strike up conversation, if nothing else.
if anyone calls me by my username after introducing myself im going to kick off
You might want to stay away from Daniel Towns, then.
I swear he still calls me Lev even though we've met three times now, and it's not about to change.
to be fair being called Lev or Parks is ok but it would suck to have people shouting "HEY RINOAYUNA42" at you all night
If we do not all dress up like our avatars, I am leaving.
Better idea: Make the name tags and have everyone wear the wrong ones. More conversation and also more "Wait, I thought you were a girl! So those pictures I saw of you all these years were fake?! I masturbated about you so many times and you turn out to be a guy! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!"
Dear anyone who was already planning to do this: Sephex has blown your cover.
I think we should all pick the name of a random bot that's appeared on the site to put on our nametags.
That, or pick names out of a hat for people to kiss.
I'm going to omit my own name and put in twenty copies of Parker's name.
And thaaaaaaat is why people will be drawing from my hat and ignoring yours entirely.
I no longer trust anyone attending this meetup. You're all scandalous tricksters and perjurers!
I like the idea of crushing Quin with sandwich boards :ffviwag:
I've only been here a while, but y'all are really cool so I'd love to come along too. (I'm a London native so might as well!)
It's fine if people call me Shiny because I know 99 percent of you will pronounce my first name wrong anyway.
Or like Tanya/Tonja.
http://vocaroo.com/i/s1Aec8Vg31yG
What do I win?
are your neighbours like used to you or do they kinda avoid eye contact when you take out the bins
they did once submit a noise complaint but after they found the steaming surprise I left in their rhododendron bushes the following morning they learned snitches get stitches
I want to wear that black body suit with the barbies glued on Britta wore in that one episode of community.
Attachment 54468
Well no one will know how to pronounce it if you don't tell us :colbert:
Lmao, Tanuja. I'm surprised you remember that. xD
I know how to pronounce it :smug:
sux 2 b all of u
it'll be interesting meeting some of you i'm sure...might have to go visit BoB before this just to ready myself
Well I only called you that cause you wouldn't tell me your real name!
Tah-nye-a?
tony
Tee-dus?
Shy Knee
Guys, you have the power of the Internet behind you; Vocaroo those pronunciations stat. Hell, beg Shiny to set you straight that way.
I hate this thread because it makes me excited for something years from now, but I like talking about it. Let us time-capsule it by locking it for now and opening it up in six months after the next Ciddies.
Get your pronunciations of Shiny's name in and then we'll lock it up! I like the idea of time capsuling.
It's pronounced the same way it feels.
This is so long away but I will definitely go. I'll bring small gifts for my favourite members. Things I've made. Maybe out of dead birds, or something.
As long as you vacuum pack them, I am fine with that.
Kalevala just linked me to Bristish Airways and IT IS SUPER CHEAP AND WE WILL PROBABLY BE ABLE TO MAKE IT NEED TO TALK TO SHARKY BUT ITS LOOKING SUPER AFFORDABLE
You could see us slowly start to freak out in chat as we began to realize how affordable it was.
if I fly British Airwaves it's just over $1000
OH FOR REALS KALE
AWWWYEAH
YAY YOU
link me to their site Kale
LINKE ME
OH WHAT IS THIS
YES?
OHHHHHH
OH MY GOD YES
OHHHHHHHHH WHHHATT
That's right, I said "airwaves." :colbert:
It was glorious
Thank you british airwaves
Try looking at Tuesdays-Thursdays as a date to fly too, that sometimes can knock hundreds off.
Thank you for the advice! I'm already super excited because estimated cost has gone from 3500 to 1500 which is great
EDIT: I'm actually a bit scared though because I'm a permanent resident and not a citizen and I would hate to leave the country and get back and they're like "lol no"
If it's anything like the UK, you should be able to leave for up to three months or so before they can do that. Check for limits on consecutive days away from the country.
EDIT: Looks like you should be fine.
Me and Kalevala and Parker have secret plans for this but that's all we can say and we can say no more just be prepared for love
You guys had better be nice!
The plans are nice, alright! Maybe too nice
I'll allow it then :jess:
ASSES
Somebody is real good at keeping a secret! Now we'll have to come up with a more secret plan :(
NO PLANS FOR YOU
It is my job to make sure you lot of dickbutts don't ruin this.
Making plans to stand on a stage naked is ruining things.
Naked is an exaggeration, most of us was going to be clothed :greenie:
I would have expected this from Parker but you two nerds? I thought better of you!
Clothes with dongs out is naked enough! :argh:
Keep up the good work, Shauna. I knew we hired you for a reason.
It was Parker's whole idea we just wanted to be cool like him
Cool.
Parker.
Okay.
:shobon:
I'm scared of this plan. Whenever I hear the words 'parker' and 'plan' together, it's just instinct.
parker and plan should never be in the same sentence. can't wait to meet some of youse
wtf did i do now
Thank you for that link! I'm actually going to need that for my change of address form in a few months.
So I called the lady to be absolutely sure and she said I could pay $400 on travel documents but if I'm gone less than a year all I will need is my green card and my Canadian passport. She says having documents of employment here or bills under my name is a plus, but not necessary, especially considering how short of a travel period it would be.
That's all good news, yes? :love:
Yes this is very good news :jess:
As long as sharky agrees to set aside $20/week for this.
haven't asked him yet because we also have to start putting aside money every week to buy a pete painting
This event will happen btw. Just wanted to assure everyone of that.
It is absolutely happening.
i dont know....
it might not happen....
Just make sure you write it on your hand, guys.
I am going to get the details in a tattoo on my left buttock.
There was doubt this was going to happen? People please. My camera and I are ready for you. It's going to happen
i dont see what the problem with it is, myself
they can't ban you for meatspace stuff right
:shifty:
No...
that would be power abuse and we don't do any of that shauna :ffviwag:
Of course not! :shobon:
Do I get in trouble if I bring lots of raw meat as gifts for everyone? I'm a vegetarian but I'll still bring raw meat for everyone. We can play with it together.
I'll make that closet fabulous, I promise.
i'll take meat, but i'm not getting in no closet with you
I guess it will take a while for you all to trust me. It's okay. I have until 2016 :greenie:
meat
meat
puppet
Looks like my meat idea is a hit, I knew it would be. We certainly won't be ingesting the meat, just enjoying the meat!
TOP TIP TO COOL OFF ON A HOT DAY:
arrange slice of bacon over ur bare naked bod (make sure the bacon has been chilled appropriately for a while) and lie down somewhere for a while!
this is what to you
a problem?
dont sweat it just let that dog lap at ur noodle m8. nothing like it
nothing like it in the world
depends onthe noddle matey-sir!
beef super? wave goodbye to it....
curry pot noodle? lmao dogs cant handle thier spices.............smear curry and spices on ur noodle and ur safe
brap
:stare:
I am going to politely ask this stop being a conversation.
ok but lets face it good luck this being on topic by the time of the event and also its going a pretty good way it hasnt devolved into debates about race or sexuality
edit: trigger warning above post
sorry, i pressed "reply" instead of "edit"
You're not sorry. You're not sorry at all!
I am sorry...
...sorry this eoff meet isnt sooner!!!! hahaa (trying to get back on topic cos im trying to be a nice guy here)
My, I'm so excited for this EoFF Meetup!
I'm so sorry this became what it did.
I think there is a small percentage of chance that I am to blame maybe :confused:
I am looking forward to this! Literally, if my life goes according to plan and doesn't explode in my face/I'm dead then I plan to be traveling a fair amount the year of 2016 which is annoying because I live about 45 minutes away from London but no matter what I'm going to make sure I am in the country and in London on that day!
I wonder what the maximum number of members attending would be. Could Eyes on Final Fantasy replace a small British village?
Maybe a hamlet.
We will be the biggest gang in London! And we will spread so much love.
