With the other events mentioned (DreamHack etc.) it seems that if we don't want August, it's either week 30 (July 21st - 27th) or week 31 (July 28th - August 3rd). I'm fine with any date really, as long as it doesn't interferes with SGDQ (which I guess none of us wants). Since Edenal cleared up that with the vacations weeks I'm with majority here. Has anyone checked with Romscout about possible dates?

SGDQ is looking at a date late June / early July. So we are good there.

From my very limited research, hotels are cheaper week 31-32. While on the subject, I'm waiting for a response from the hotel about an offer. They said that they don't have set prices for rooms and that they are controlled by supply and demand. The girl I talked to said that the prices for a double room was about 700 SEK / night.
I hope we can get prices down to about 220-230 SEK per night and person, which would include breakfast. But no promises yet.

If we want a good date we should decide soon..

And would it still be able to choose between hotell and normal sleep place like we have had before?
I mean I know it includes breakfast but I really dont want to spend ~ 1.600 + ESA fee for the whole event..

We don't yet know how many attendants ESA mark 3 will have. (I like that name better than ESA2014 :) ).

The interest for staying at a hotel seems very high, especially amongst those coming from another country or even from distant parts of Sweden. If there's majority wanting to stay at a hotel, that's where we should put the majority of our efforts to secure a good deal. But that does not mean we cannot have an alternative, but of course if there are fewer persons splitting the bill it will become more expensive for renting the HoC or the "Volvo"-building.

This discussion does not really belong to this thread. Sorry for taking it off topic. Further discussions about housing belongs in a new thread.

Have we decided on dates now that Edenal scored the hotel deal?

The date will stand as currently suggested if there is not an objection before the 29th.

Quote from Edenal:

The suggestion currently is:
Setup start late July 25th and will carry on the 26th.
Marathon starts the 27th (sunday) and will end the 2nd or 3rd.
3rd + 4th as bonus.
Leave on 5th.

Just to be clear, this is the date standing?

It looks like August might be the most suitable month, if there's so much going on the other months...

People seem to like week 31, and that's not close to Aug 18'th, so you should be safe for now.

I guess i should also say something about this before it too late. Week 31 is fine, everything after that would kill all my chances to participate cause that would make it impossible for me to get time off work.

And im sure Edenal doesn´t want to kill the chances of Silver to get into the marathon *cough*

Im glad you ask, you bring the curse of the Silver spambot over all of you.

Silver is an action-rpg from 1999 for pc that got ported to dreamcast 1year later(2000) it plays in the world of Jarrah. The main story is simple. You are david a young man who is learning how to fight from his grandfather. What you didn´t expect is that the evil magician Silver decides to take all woman of Jarrah as hostages to decide which one will become his wife. Following his plan Silver also takes away your girlfriend/wife(never gets explained) and brings your anger upon him. To get her back you take on the journey to collect the 8magical orbs that are spread all over Jarrah.

And also important sidenote: The game has CUTSCENE RNG
