paulygcon2: pauly2con (11th - 13th November 2016) Empty paulygcon2: pauly2con (11th - 13th November 2016)

Post  paulyg Thu 11 Aug 2016, 15:52

Three months to go to pauly2con and I thought I'd start a thread. Last year I wrote:

paulyg wrote:Perhaps this is slightly ridiculous but...

A few people have noted (when out at The Cast Are Dice weekend or similar) that "we could just do this but at someone's house - we've got loads of games we haven't played". So I'm doing it! It's vaguely near my birthday, I've got permission and it's all systems go for paulygcon (blame Lizzy for the name).

On the evening of Friday 13th November and all day on Saturday 14th and Sunday 15th come over and play some games. We've got loads we haven't played and you probably have too! We'll do some food and stuff! Come for some of it or all of it! Let me know if you can make it! Don't make me stubbornly play solitaire Firefly on my own all weekend!

The plan is to do the same again this year, only the dates are different.

pauly2con will be the evening of the 11th November and all day on Saturday 12th and Sunday 13th November! Put it in your diary, note it in your phone, scrawl it on the back of a nearby friend, but don't forget it!

All are welcome, there will once again be lots of games, food and drink and hopefully plenty of fun. If you think you'll be able to make it then I'd appreciate it if you let me know in this thread so I can start to get a vague idea of how many people might be there each day. Let the countdown begin...

It's been a long time since a certain large 4x game was played...

Quite right! Aneurin and I are trying to figure out a suitable date for that (I probably want to keep it separate to paulygcon) - hopefully won't be too long.

I also haven't forgotten our conversation about a day of Cosmic Encounter... in fact I think I might have a couple of potential dates for that. I'll send you a message.

I'm in. What time did you finish on Friday last year? I'll probably try and come down on Friday but won't be till 7 or 7:30. Then I'll come on either Saturday or Sunday but probably not both unless I want to.

"Unless I want to" is a good get-out for all situations.

I think last year we finished about 23.30ish on the Friday so there will be plenty of time for games.

I've also got a couple of friends coming up from London, one of whom is interested in playing some sort of mini Star Realms / Colony Wars tournament over the course of the weekend in between other things.

You're gonna need a bigger boat.

I should be there for one of the evenings. Probably Saturday. Bet you wish you had ordered generic Paulygcon lanyards now Wink. Birthday Rebellion?

Will there be an updated logo?

I'm hoping Kes might come up with a new logo, yes :-) More fun to have new lanyards!

Doesn't clash with Harriet's birthday, so I should be able to come for more than just a coyote of hours this time! Will confirm.

I love it, Kes! And yes please to the png files.

In the spirit of board gaming, I'm going to suggest that it's not a toucan but a 2-4can (play this game). Oh dear.

Excellent logo btw Kes. I'll make sure to bring Animal upon Animal because as I always say, to rapturous laughter from small humans, "toucan play this game."

Because of the toucans....

Two...can....

Oh forget it.
