I've met quite a few THN people actually, but the only ones I really know are Bloke, Trax, and Iro IRL.

Weeellll...

Rojaws suggested I go to this after muttering about it for a while and as the early bird booking is nearly up and I figure the hostel will fill up fairly quickly too I've booked myself in. Looks like you're all out of seats around where you guys are so I've put in a request for AA-10 but we'll have to see how it works out.

Better go book the holiday, now...

[edit]Oh yeah...[/edit]

My clan tag is in to match Bob, Nanor, et al and I've made TB my seat manager.

holy crap Ronin's coming.

May I be the first to scream "ruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuun!"

EDIT: As a suggestion, how about we resurrect the THN CoD4 team and enter the tournament?

Me, Trax, Nanor, Ronin, and Bob, assuming he can get the time off work?

That might rely on me remembering how to play... :rolleyes:

That said, could be a laugh.

YEEEEESSSSS! This is going to be awesome. Awesome, says I! What a turn out!

As an aside, would it be possible to include me in the CoD4 team as well, even as a reserve, if there are spaces? Yes, I *ahem* neglected the CoD4 team after i33 was finished, but i would not have any CoD4 goings on around me without being a part of it! (Please)

I was about to say that you should be in there in that original CoD team list anyway. I'm going to try/beg/bribe my boss today. Had a very brief one line conversation yesterday as we were crazy busy. He wasn't that positive but I'm sure with some fluttering of eye lashes I can convince him. I've paid for my slot anyway and will take the admin fee hit if I can't make it. Will hopefully know by the end of today.

Oops, forgot about you!

Of course, I was just suggesting names :)

Right in that point I think I'll start planning some rihorus training sorted we're all pretty much out of the game at the moment I think, I haven't been playing any FPS' for a while... EvE is a giant time sink!

I've been playing quite a bit recently.

I'm still the first to die on S&D though :D

But I can now normally take at least 1 other with me. Which is all good :)

I think that given three months notice a reasonable employer will agree to a particular holiday arrangement, especially if it's not one of the prime holiday patches such as Christmas or Easter. Mid-summer is a perfectly reasonable time to be taking a few days off. After all, legally speaking, you only require twice the length of the leave as notice (e.g. 6 days for 3 days off).

In my opinion, at the point where an employer is refusing holiday that far in advance something has already gone wrong. Even if it's crunch time or busy season or whatever.

Offering something back can help, though. If they work over Christmas, you can offer to work that patch instead...

Yea, bob's problem is that VibroAxe is getting married the week beforehand, (inconsiderate bugger) and so extra time off on top of time off already granted is required :D
