      IRC Nickname: His Lordship Group: Founder Posts: 6029 Member No.: 1 Joined: December 26, 2007 Total Events Attended: 129    | This topic is getting pinned up until the time of Runefest. It outlines pretty much everything relating to the clan's participation. I. Attendees II. Schedule III. Recruitment Tactics ___________________________________________ I. Attendees We're hoping for at least 6 people to go to Runefest. 10 is the golden number we will aim for. His Lordship Elyxiatic Stokenut Groedius II. Schedule Check back later for plans on where we meet and what we plan to do. When JaGeX releases further details we'll let you know. We're also taking requests. III. Recruitment Tactics Again I'm too lazy to type it up now. But I have a plan to get a table set up where people can browse our website and forums and videos. More on that later. --------------------  | ||||||||

I obviously can't attend cause I'll be in California at the time  .Should be a great opportunity though to recruit some members. I doubt that many other clans (aside from London based ones) will have recruitment tables. Hopefully our table (if we get one) can manage to hit the Runefest website. This should be a big and great way of getting our name out. I have to say thank you for your dedication and leadership Gene, considering (I'd assume) you're flying all the way from Australia to do this. Only a true leader can pull that off, and there aren't many out there. WG is extremely lucky to have you. --------------------   Proud WG member since December 2003 | ||||||||

 IRC Nickname: Gorgemaster Group: Elite Guardian Posts: 9840 Member No.: 3 Joined: December 26, 2007 Total Events Attended: 540 | Already explained why I won't be there. For future reference: It is 90% likely that I will be away that weekend. I am working in a theatre from end of July---> 21st August up in Edinburgh, then I have to be at home for my 18th birthday. Sooo that weekend is really the last chance I have to go away you see. As such, I don't want to waste £80 on a ticket that I may not be able to use anyway... If I am here, I will come and meet you all before/after runefest. Sorry  Gene. We will meet. One day. --------------------    | ||||||||

 IRC Nickname: DG_Keanu Group: Council Posts: 4782 Member No.: 2033 Joined: August 25, 2009 Total Events Attended: 173 | I cannot afford £80 tickets plus transport from Northwest England to London to spend the day with a bunch of Runescapers. However, I will put forward as much financial support as I can and I will still be in London during the event (My dad lives in Greenwich), so if we do anything else I will be sure to be there for it. --------------------  [05:42] <+WG_Keanu> I think I got a semi just looking at the pic [05:42] <%kat> same | ||||||||

Nah, that £50 HAS to be for my shirt. Tbh fuck it, I'll do what I can and save up with gigs and so for a RuneFest ticket, and make sure I go. I actually forgot it's a few months away, so with a bit of will power (less alcohol) I should be able to make it. Plus I want the banner By the way I'll have to send the £50 on Monday as I didn't get to deposit it earlier. How was I supposed to know banks close at midday on Saturdays?  @ Joe

Exactly. Its costing me 2.2k Australian dollars as well... for a week, and its more expensive to fly from here. I'm just more willing, and Joe is inflating the ticket prices and spending money massively. -------------------- | ||||||||

I don't expect ANYONE to pay that much to go, or even pay anything IRL ever. Its just that, you can't say Australians can do it an you can't, as that gets on my nerves. -------------------- | ||||||||

| IRC Nickname: Mmangler Group: Emeritus Posts: 1595 Member No.: 1580 Joined: December 24, 2008 Total Events Attended: 165 | A trans-atlantic trip would only reasonably involve staying at least two weeks. So lodging at the modest price of $100 per day for 14 days would not be out of the question plus food would up the cost but the fest would be epic. It is unlikely that I will go but it is possible. Still looking at air fares, last look was $1,200 round trip--what so cheap. I am envious of those who can afford it but if it comes to the states, I would likely go because transportation from Ohio to east coast is moderate, to the west coast is likely close to $1,000--yep almost as expensive as Europe. Best wishes to those attending. -------------------- | ||||||||

| IRC Nickname: Stokenut Group: Guest Posts: 2062 Member No.: 805 Joined: June 10, 2008 Total Events Attended: 112 | I've estimated that for somebody from England staying Friday-Sunday (2 hotel nights) including the Runefest ticket, travel, accommodation, spending money is about £400. Going down to as little as £140 for the basic ticket and return train for the same day. It's really not that bad. -------------------- Over 6 years of history and friendship, deleted over a difference in an opinion. --- Challenge any creationist to a debate.
