On another note - QuietPC are running a Rock Band Tournament! Who's in? :D Oh, and they're also running a Frozen Synapse tournament apparently, if you're interested in that.
Pitboss is a cool dedicated server tool that 2K include in the game. It allows someone to setup a permanent running Civ IV server that players can connect and disconnect from freely. While disconnected the CPU takes control of your Civ if the other players choose to continue. I was exagerating a bit about the 1 person leaving thing.. it didn't actually effect us in the slightest with one person leaving so I don't know how that popped into my mind.

I'll be in for the Rock Band tournament! :) And the frozen tournament I've already opted into.

My brother and I will be arriving by train. All of which take 4 hours to get to Telford! We have arrival times starting from 13:51 (earliest we will leave is 09:52) and then every hour after so if you would like to time your arrival with ours perhaps?

Not sure on our tent situation at the moment...

Thought you had to book a specific time for the first journey? If you're not going to know til the day you leave I'll just book one and you can match me :P

Smoo, we're all down the bottom left corner now, everyone's on the same row except for stevie and (i think) his friend.

Advanced tickets were only £7 less so I decided to buy ones that didn't restrict us to specific times. Open Return!

I know you can get open returns, but how'd you get an open 'there'?

Had another game suggestion - Spiral Knights is apparently a Diablo-type game, a multiplayer dungeon crawl, and it's free to play. Check it out on Steam and download it if you're interested. I won't be playing it before I arrive at iSeries, so if you wanted to join a newbie-fest you could do the same. :)

Also, that's 2 for Rock Band, we need at least 2 more. Who else is in? :D

I'm not too sure what you mean.. but my reproduction steps would be:

East Coast Website -> Hometown to Telford 25th /w Open Return ticked -> Search -> An Open Return valued at £77.90 for 2 Adult tickets /w YP cards.

E-Tickets people! Print them!

(Or don't. It's optional, but might make check-in go faster.)

I'll be fine with my 1-man tent, I was just trying to avoid taking it if someone else had a spare space going :)
