1 huge screen in the middle and 6 smaller screens in each side. And warwitch shoutcasting. Good fun :)

Your upset vs one.soldier was good fun aswell. xi vs omg... the game where docs was saved basically on the doorstep of the final door? Too bad demos never was released :(
:D
useless, but funny :(
skiD and me are going too :D
what's the pricepools like btw?

More info plz on roster and other 'huishoudelijke' announcements
Bitte, danke =)
It's fucked up tbh, no signs @ all - its cool to get lost there for about 2 hours, ppl over there dunno how to get out of the city zomg !
I think i can come there, i think i've been there once.. pretty good clubs afaik.
Wait a minute, conan didn't go to CPC1 either. oMiGaWd, online only fo' sho' ngR plZ. :O)
shg - graduation pre tests + too expensive
cpc2 - graduation tests
But i was at enlarged 2006 \o/ :D
enlarged lan in germany
see u there =)
893.42 km
gg cash, zie je over drie weken in ze kopenhagen :))
It is easy to get to by train, especially with the new timetables of the NS :P
The venue will be bigger and better to give more to the spectators.
hah maar ik ga je wel een hug geven daar(L)
then amsterdam => Enschede = ?
EASY!
So, that doesn't make much difference :)
Our smooth pimped out ride:
you might wanna meet up for breakfast ;)
cmon, you just take one day free from work (normally should have such few days in contract, unless you dont work completely legally =])
and for school.... you just dont go to school, and on monday you come to your main teacher and show her a paper from mama/doc that you were ill.
Now we will have to go either crack of dawn on friday or realistically thursday night. If this thing finishes sunday morning we can book flights for sunday evening and not have to wait till Monday which would be better. After all the location is a long way from the airport. This really needs to be considered and people need to know yesterday tbh. Sorry impact but i'm all about keeping costs down =)

No no no.... you come to us!
250km :P
Train == 20 Euro
Legacy charges 50 euro per person(my Kadett can hold 5 people)
I can walk 2 cinestar in just 5 min...
ET in enschede ftw <3
we are going with the almighty:
check the schedule of airberlin, they fly from Munster-Osnabruck to connections all over europe for low-all inclusive prices. From Munster airport a train runs directly to Enschede.
www.airberlin.com
Most fairs are cheaper than going into Amsterdam and it is also closer to the venue than Amsterdam.
If you fly into that airport you have to options to take a quick 30 minute direct bus and then 1:12 minutes for the train directly into Enschede.
Best part is, the bus even runs through the entire night.
I am also looking into dortmund as an option.
If you arrive in Dortmund, you take the Airport Express bus to Dormund Haupt Bannhof (22 mins) and then the direct IC train to Enschede (1:55)
Dortmund is a viable option for those that live in the southern and Eastern European nations.
Munster/Osnabrueck is a cheap option for Helsinki, Copenhagen, Boedapest, Vienna, Berlin and St. Petersburg.
