New Years RL meeting?

[Therak]

Hey there orcs. Nothing set in stone, but I am interested to know what you lot would think of this idea. Me and Muz have held one before, with special guests like Koz and Morgy, and it turned into a very pleasant few days. So I'm interested in knowing of people would be interested to meet up and celebrate new years with other orcs.
Location would be Malmö, which is in southern Sweden (Closest airport for those who'd fly, would be Copenhagen airport).
One rule I feel a need to state beforehand, would be that drinking is fine. But within limits, it's not to be a boozefest. And anyone who gets to drunk they pass out, or throw up are likely to get thrown out. We're aiming at a nice pleasant few days.

So, interested? Post here and we'll see what we can pull off!

Depending on army stuff, I'd be well up for that.

I love this idea. But thrown out because of heavy drinking? You do know you invite danes (and Moz). Saying that, i assume sleepover is a part of the whole deal?

I love the idea however I don't think a New years guild meet is such a great time to do it. Cause I know for me I like to spend time with my family during new years as its the only time I get to see the smelly pit stain of a brother. So I love the idea but maybe a differant time

Guess I should've revised my earlier post a bit. I don't know about the rest of you guys, but I was brought up around people who drank, maybe not excessively but they still knew how to enjoy their alcohol. On holidays or at social gatherings I tend to drink. I'm not the sort of guy who'll pass out/throw up in/on your car or anything (except for that one time in Wickham, which has never been repeated) but I do enjoy a good pint or five at a night out, or even a few bottles with my mates chilling. I don't know how one could expect to have a social gathering of adults (or young adults at the very least) that lasts for a few days without some alcohol being involved. Now obviously it's not like I'd expect everyone to get completely pyjama'd,  but to throw a person out of a do because they had a bit too much to drink? That's just cold man.

As for the New Year's thing, I don't really tend to do much with the family for that anymore, people having moved on and whatnot, but for the sake of other people and to make sure as many of us could attend as possible, would it not be wiser to hold said gathering at a more convenient time? Holidays tend to be when one spends time with the family. But that's just my opinion anyway.

So yeah this is my revised comment. I still think it's a great idea and would love to attend.

On the other hand, it's on holidays like these that most people would likely have the most time and/or opportunity to get out of their own country and spend a few nights elsewhere. Considering the busy-ish year that I'll be dealing with, this kind of time would likely be one of the only ones I'd have a fair chance of being able to visit.

One way or another, I'll see what I can do! Nice to hear about these again, anyway. I can fully endorse the fun and tomfoolery these people can have in store for you, even without alcohol. *nodnod*

First off, there's no ban on alcohol. I just expect people to act like responsible adults when drinking. Have a few beers, some wine or such. But I don't want anyone so drunk that things get out of hand.
I do sadly feel the need to be clear on that rule beforehand, since it'll just get feelings running high if it gets out of hand. I don't intend to come down out of the blue and throw someone out, when it starts getting to much, I'll tell the person that, I don't really think it'll come to it. But I have seen how some people drink. Noone is having a good time if there's one person too wasted to stand.

And as for the time, I'm not saying there can't be a RL meet that is not around new years. But this one will be. It's a time when most people will have time off. And it's a repetition of a RL meet I had before, that was a very nice occasion. There were wine, beer, roleplaying and I think I even saw Koz crack a smile!
New years is on a monday this year, which means most people will have (at least that's how it is in Sweden) the weekend, and the monday and tuesday off. Giving them time to stop by if they want to.

And yes, staying over is a part of the idea. I can fit 4 people in my apartment, five if I have to, but that's pushing it. Perhaps there'll be other orcs in the area, willing and able to offer couch and/or floor space.

If people are interested, I'm certainly not a stranger to throw up other RL meets, I very much enjoy meeting, and putting a face on the people I play games with.
