Yeah I'm going to ask him when he comes back on. Normally I wouldn't really care that much about the ban I'd just go do something else, but I'm trying to organize something and I'd rather it not get ruined.
Though to be honest a month is pretty harsh.
I can edit stuff as need be. Also, told you the geography title wasn't the worse you could have gotten. :sweatdrop:
The other one is seriously uncalled for. Nothing I said in that thread is remotely paedophilic.
Can you get on steam Dai?
I might come.
oh hey guys o/
its me, over here in SD
Google earth says it would be 570 miles there
times 15 mpg is 38 gallons
one trip there, one trip back is 74 gallons
idk what gas is ATM but Ill guess 2.50
times 74 gallons is 185$
in gas only
and Im broke
so no.
[editline]30th November 2010[/editline]
so close, yet so far away...
It's like 2.80 something here.
What kind of car do you have that has such a shit mpg rating?
It's also 76 gallons both ways not two. So around $212
Take a train?

It's not a car, it's a manmobile.

Oh hey, I live in Plainfield so I should be able to make it, only problem is that I can't.
I'm going to really try to drive up from Columbia, Missouri. I'll try to let you know soon.
Finally somewhere where I live! Too bad i'll never go to a meetup. :v:
Hey, go to it.
I would, but Illinois is far away.

it is, indeed, a manmobile
If, for some reason, I do go, I shall take the opportunity to laugh at you and whatever candy-ass excuse for a vehicle that you drive.
[editline]30th November 2010[/editline]
and no, the train would get better mileage
I drive a minivan. I am not ashamed to admit it. I can fit more shit in it than you can fit in your truck, it gets better mileage than yours, I can cram a shitload of people in it, and it accelerates like a motherfucker.
I moved up here in it. Packed that bitch FULL. I also used it for when I was doing landscaping work. 30, 36 pound bags of mulch and 15 landscaping timbers? No problem. A 6'x2' desk + 2'x2' desk + ~10, 40+ pound boxes? No problem.
My car is a beast.

Also I tried to change lanes and some asshole sped up so I couldn't and he ended up hitting me, all he did was shake the car up a bit and bend my front fender. His SUV was probably more damaged because bitch swerved like a motherfucker.
My car was just like "Pfahaha bitch"
This is probably the closest a meet-up has been to my location, I live around Detroit, so it'd be around a six-seven hour drive.
4 hours 53 minutes from Detroit to Union Station in Chicago.
I slammed into a cement pole at 30mph and it bent the bumber a little bit.
also, it carries 7 max, and can haul anything your soccermom-mobile can haul.
plus, 4wd.

Telepathi why have you had an alt for over 2 years.
[QUOTE=Ven Kaeo;26422334]4 hours 53 minutes from Detroit to Union Station in Chicago.[/QUOTE]
Oh wow, not as long as I thought. Though if I did go I have the feeling I'd be the youngest there, somehow.

I slammed into a semi truck at 70mph and chipped my paint.
My minivan can carry 7 people 'safely' but you can cram another 3-5 people into it :smug:
Mine still gets better mileage than yours

How old are you? I'm 18, Daijitsu is 22, I don't know about Dalndox
the bullshit flag has been thrown on your false claim of hitting a semi at 70
gg, but I have 4wd and much higher suspension. mud, snow, curbs, small children, it goes over them all, no problem.
and Im 16, so I might be the youngest one there if I can manage to make 200 bucks in 30 days.
[editline]1st December 2010[/editline]
as for mileage, I dont even care.
unless I need to go somewhere almost 600 miles away.

I'm 16. :v:
16 is fine. As long as you're not an irritating little kid, but I doubt that most 16 year olds aren't.
I used to live in Chicago. I miss it so much! :Dawkins102:
I'll be 23 by the meetup, and dalndox is turning 22 on the day.
Age isn't much of a matter if you can get out here on your own, though we will not be held responsible if you get yourself lost. I'd prefer it to be 18+ if you plan to stay with the group past 10pm, because of local curfews.
You need to be able to get back to the train station/your car on your own in the very least, not everyone will be walking the same way you are. Train station is safest bet, though, I know a handful of us will be headed that direction.
It's easy to get to the Brookfield station from the zoo. Just walk back to the Hollywood station, then follow the main road down to Brookfield station like maybe 5 minutes of walking.
Dai can you get on Steam?
Can't you send him a PM.
I'm not doing this unless I can get a background on why he has a title showcasing his pedophilia, and whether he will show up or not.
I'm going to try to go. I should be able too, I went last time.
