NationStates Real World Meet Ups

Postby Joe Bobs » Mon Sep 29, 2014 2:13 pm

Have there ever been any real world NS meetings? I know a few people know each other in RL, and a few people have deliberately or accidentally met up, but has there ever been a larger scale meet-up?

There was a 10 year Anniversary for NS hosted all over the world. I think the London one, which myself, Karputsk, HY, Luna Dancing, Minoa and eek I forget the other guy all met up. Was a fun day in all.

Eras and Gaspo did a cross country trek, meeting NSers along the way.

IIRC, Nevadar, Thel, JAL and a couple others met someplace on the east coast.

Neenee and Zorn invited a handful of NSers to. Their wedding.

I have met a few but never in large groups. And I would jump at the chance to hang with fellow NSgeeks.

I think it would be interesting. If anyone plans one in the UK I'd come along.

Sauron and I almost met in RL but never quite did. I almost met Dipes too.

This would indeed be interesting - but I'm in the middle of no-where, way up in the North-East of Scotland, so attending such things would be a pain in the ass.

Me and other people in our region talk about it all the time.. May not happen soon but we plan on it possibly going down in a while when more people have an easy means of getting around.

After looking at the "What do you Look Like" thread I actually saw one NSer on the street, though they would have remembered me as Releign or Verdum(older nations of mine) and I kind of skipped away at full speed to avoid them.

I have a feeling that if all of NS met in RL at the same place and time it would result in a riot with torches and pitchforks.

I almost met Avakael but we had a mix up on the weekend when I was in his state. I was *this* close to getting Real Life revenge for his invasion of Airspace 2 years ago. ;)

Mcma needs to comes across to the real side of Australia. Grim and Awe were too scared to meet me when I was in their areas.

There aren't many NSers in Russia, if there are any at all.

Actually, I've convinced some of my friends to join the game, but I'm afraid that it doesn't count. I haven't meet anyone else in the country at the banks of Vistula...

Tierra is Australian, I am from Utah. That's why it was such a big deal. ;)

I also met Lichto, our previous delegate, a few weeks ago, and just finished a pleasant afternoon with someone who used to go by Boolari in XKI. All four of us go back a decade. It's been really great.
