FMGC 2012 - Gaming Convention - GTA CANADA

  • Founder TripleA Admin

    I’ve kicked off the membership drive for 2012. If you would like to donate in person, I’ll take USD cash at the convention.

    I’ll actually take some CAD, it’ll save me a trip to the ATM. I’m going to set a limit at $60 CAD, total.

    And as long as there is WiFi (as promised) I’ll give you your badge on the spot (as long as I’m not in the middle of a turn).

    I confirm : it was great and we had a lot of fun !!

    I didn’t see any disgracious behavior during the week-end (and with gamers, you never know…), nor did i see any stone/drunk/stupid people (btw, i got no problem with drunk people, just with annoying drunk people).

    The place was amazing, so was the Sherman tank parade.

    Really a great event. Hope we can be more than 60 people next year.

    A photo was taken with all the guys costumed : Gargantua was US General, Suprise attack was India/Anzac, Vance was UK, and Clyde85 (with the German uniform) was China and i was Russia. We were holding that huge US flag garg brought for the event. A lady took that photo, and i really hope that photo can be posted in here (it was the only one taken with all 5 of us costumed).

    Note : for those of you who wonder (and i know there’s a lot): Gargantua is a really cool and nice guy. About every aa.orger wanted to meet him and have a chat with him at some point during the week-end.
