Isn't that like 50% of the point anyway! A love for watching Starcraft and a love for going out and socialising over a few drinks... combine the two and that is what Barcraft is all about! I am really looking forward to this

I'm from Sheffield and would consider jumping on a train to come. The drinks for me will be fine (I'm 20) but i think my little brother would enjoy coming too considering he plays and watches Starcraft just as much as me (we're both in masters but he's better than me ffs at 13 -.-)
Will he be able to come? Maybe get some food and a non alcoholic drink or will be over 18's only?

Doubt he would be allowed Hova, i think most bars have some sort of limitations based on ages even if its like a curfew where all minors must be out of the bar past 8pm or something.

That's fair enough. I know some allow it so thought i would ask.
I'd go but i literally know nobody other than myself, my brother and my dad that plays Starcraft haha.

there does seem to be an unusual number of TLers who don't drink,
I believe I will have that covered.

Yeah, I was going to come to this, for MLG, but Manchester's easier to get to, and Kyoto Lounge is sexy as hell.

Hey all, sorry it's taken so long for me to update. My work has been seriously nuts lately and I haven't had much time to myself. In terms of how long we can stay open, Carpe Diem has a license that goes on until 1 am BUT whether they stay open depends entirely on how many of us there are / how much we're drinking. Having said this I've had interest from 70+ people so here's hoping we get at least half of that. Whilst on the subject, the room they have agreed to give us...

HOWEVER, IF WE CAN ENSURE A LARGE ENOUGH TURNOUT WE CAN GET MOVED TO THE MAIN PROJECTOR:

So basically the more people that show up, the higher the chance we get moved to projector and we can keep them open longer by having enough of us there still drinking. Personally I don't drink that much any more, however I've just bought a crate of cider from Tesco and I'm about to start training my tolerance back up =3
Also, as requested I've made a Facebook event page- http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=295299143820119
EDIT- Forgot to mention that if anyone needs helping getting in on the night I will have a mobile dedicated to taking calls from people who are lost/stuck etc. Also my mate who's helping me told me he had a big surprise for me, turns out he has made us both Barcraft t-shirts with his poster on them so you won't have trouble spotting us on the night haha!

Hey see the following for a map of where it is (it's in the middle of town marked by 'A', you can see the headrow running through the centre which is like the main street that cuts the centre of town in half) and the train station in the bottom-middle of the map:

Also, I'm going to guess that you might be a student, if so here's a more zoomed-out image that has the Uni in it (I've marked the Parkinson steps with a red star top left-ish of map):

If still feeling bit lost, tell me which direction you'd be coming from and I can help, also we will have a phone turned on the night that people can call if they get stuck etc
=)

Has the place gurenteed that if MLG runs over, so lets say that it goes till 3am, will it stay open?
|
This is pretty sweet I will be there! When video games become like football I will feel like there is actually a reason for me to go to a pub. (probably surrounded by nicer people than football fans)

Snowy it says above that the licence is till 1am this means latest kick out will probably be a little after last orders and that's as long as the spice flows (thanks Lost for all the details). Pubs dont do lock ins any more (very sad) but we can all give them puppy dog eyes (it wont do anything but I will want a picture of it).
First post and my god its an exciting one!
|
I should be able to come with a friend of mine. Maybe more but I doubt it.
I'm more worried about how the stream is going to work. Have they got a decent enough internet connection etc?
