2010 European Championship reminder : Paris, October 29-31

(to anyone who can translate this in Portuguese : please feel free to do so !)

Fellow Methuselah,

this is a friendly reminder of the upcoming 2010 European Championship that will take place in Paris, starting from October 25th with the Week of Nightmares, with the LCQ / EC day 1 / EC day 2 on October 29th-31st.

Pre-registration and all the information you need is at http://ec2010vtes.com/. I strongly encourage all participants to register both to the event ("I register to EC" on the site) and to the accomodation place (named RIP, "I register to RIP" on the site), as soon as possible and redirect the information to whoever would be interested in attending the EC.

You may also pass the word using the Facebook event :

For the record, we currently have 65 pre-registered players from the following countries : Belgium (1), UK (2), France (22), Germany (2), Hungary (2), Italy (1), Spain (5), Finland (20), Norway (1), Poland (3), Portugal (1), Slovakia (1), Switzeland (1), USA (3). We can and should certainly have more attendance, but any boost in advertising from anyone would be welcome.

Adding the list of preregistered players (100 players so far, only 1 from Portugal) : http://www.veknfrance.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=16173

Also adding the poster of the EC. Don't hesitate to print it and display it pretty much everywhere. Fortune, happiness and most importantly, VPs and Game Wins will be brought to you by Fate each 100 printings of the poster, so start the printer already and hit the street to pass the word.

Olá pessoal!

Uma busca rápida no google e na página da Easy Jet dá viagens de ida e volta pelos 100 euros. Quanto mais perto, mais caro.
Devem também marcar quarto no sítio.
Em quartos múltiplos fica muito mais barato e como vão até 5 pessoas julgo que a reserva que fiz para mim, Teresa e Eliseu, pode ser expandida a mais 2 pessoas.

Qualquer outro assunto (decks, tshirts, planos, dúvidas) sobre o EC, podemos conversar por aqui.

Abraço.

Hey Stone! Welcome and thanks for the info.
We already have 4 or 5 players that have setup to go. I pre-registered because of the Room Registration process, I guess.
I don't think there's any real advantage in registering (apart from you guys know how many players you'll accommodate), right?

I'm posting this because I've seen you around here

Cheers!
Tiago

Eu discordo... acho que temos de manter os decks SECRETOS!!! assim como as febras do porco preto... :P

Só para avisar os interessados que criei algumas versões de decks ditos "dominantes" para que a malta teste jogar contra eles.

Adicionalmente, datas provisórias:
18/19 Setembro - construído
2/3 Outubro - Nacional
16/17 Outubro - construído

Bruno se quiseres marcar algum mini-qualifier para ajudar o Eliseu ou outros a qualificarem-se, em alguma destas datas avisa.

Okapa!

Estava a pensar em Outubro mas depois logo confirmo!

Well, the first advantage in registering is obviously to make sure your accommodation is booked.

Another one, perhaps, is that the more people are registered, the larger the tournament is expected to be and this may be an incentive for some people.

Another one, for sure, is that it provides public information that VtES still attracts many players. Considering the rumors on the future of VtES, I think it's important that the community shows it wants the game to stay alive !

Finally, and I'll come to that with more detail in mid-september, it has importance as to the organization of the Legendary Vampire. I need to know who, among the top 100-200 players in world rank, is coming to the EC and is interested in the LV. The list of the 25 would-be participants of the LV has to be established weeks prior to the LV itself.

And the registration process takes only a few minutes to be done, so the sooner it is done, the better..

Come and show strength in numbers !

edit : by the way, if you happen to play in game stores, pubs or the like, if you have the possibility of printing and displaying the above poster, it would be nice for advertising the event. Thanks for any help we can get.
