The idea of a "community meeting" has been around for quite some time, but no real suggestions have come so far. I think the 20th birthday of our lovely game would be the perfect opportunity! The main question is: Where? It would be interesting to know where most of us live; I suppose most are from Britain. Any ideas?

Yes, I strongly support that suggestion. I think I'm probably the only one who ever visited other board members anyway. When I did so it was the first time I ever met someone I had been knowing only from the internet, and I haven't regretted it. When I've been to UK quite a while ago I've met Gambit, Andyboy and Kaspian, and I've been really pleased to meet them. Having said that, I'd like to say something about the where and when:
1) While it is true that there are board members around the world from Canada to Japan, there is a great deal of regulars located in UK, so I think UK would be first choice (which of course means, that, while I really love England, a meeting could be expensive for non-UK-residents; darn pound sterling).
2) While Sheffield might be reasonable for UK regulars, I'd rather suggest London, because it is easiest, fastest and cheapest to get to and fro for non-UK-residents.
3) While there are working regulars who'd have to take a couple of days for vacancies, and regulars out of work who are not bound to a tight schedule, there are also a couple of people like me who are studying, so it might be wise to choose a time that most schools and universities consider to be holidays, like middle to late summer.

Parting is all we know from Heaven, and all we need of hell.
you might invite somebody from an ex-FTL team to come.

Doug Bell actually suggested he would do a reuniion for the FTL people in San Diego and invited me along -- that was back when I was actively talking to him, probably 2002-3. Don't think it ever happened.
But as my future plans now include travelling, I might have to make a stop there -- won't be for a couple of years though!

travelling is not very good idea, since we`ve got flashchat. maybe we should invite people from FTL to some sort of "flashchat close session" on 20th birthday and then publish that on a forum? do you think they would come for a while?

It's been a long time since I was in touch with Doug or Andy and I suspect they are a bit disappointed with me for not doing anything with the info they gave me...
However, I'll see how they feel about somekind of 'get-together' -- Doug did previously mention making a FTL reunion and next year would be the perfect opportunity.
