Hi Frostie,
perhaps you can count on me. I have to look for some kid-sitter, or I´m coming a little bit later. :D

Sounds great. Maybe I can arrange my business in a way to be nearby at Düsseldorf during those days and come along that evening. So put me on the interest list. Haven't been on any VGAP/planets.nu happenings but why do not start with it now ;) I know for sure if possible by end of march.

For earlier arrivals: There is a bar just 50 meters along the waterside. It was already open when I arrived too early for the Faktorei last time. Inside I found a friendly Robot who was quite helpful in a later war.

You can move me to the comfirmed section, Frostie. I'll be there around 19:15. Many thanks for organizating this. I'm looking forward to see you and the other commanders.

Also thanks to you, Mentar, for the lodging. Planet hopping is a fine thing.

Hi,
Duisburg is 2.5 hours away from Oldenburg. I try to convince a friend of mine living in Bonn that she let my family and me stay there during the weekend; this will make it more agreeable for my wife. She doesn't like it that I have to drive home 2.5 hours late night :)

To make it short: I want to participate. Maybe we can find an agreement who will succeed Emork in ruling the universe next time; you know, Germans are always working together to subjugate everyone else in the universe.

Put me on interest plz. I can not plan atm. this far into the future.
Crowning ceremony planned?

Last time i done a free shipping for someone with call sign murph, my EDF from the falcon failed. The technicans told the daughterboard was missing. Hey Pirates rob fuel i expected, but Rebel tech? But could have been stolen while parking in a uncertain area in Duisburg.
If someone see a EDF daughterboard at the black market plz. tell me. ;-)

If you have a handsome name like Hays or Erku it might be more likely to be used as Purebloodprince or Eure Kaiserliche Majestät und Herrscher über das Universum Emork.

I hope not speaking German is not a problema.

.NU comunity want an spy so the German comununity dont conspire ;P

A brief list with the close international airports with good conexión with Duisburg and some things that can be seen done there as tourist will be apreciated.

I wont be able to confirm until last time, so just put me on interest for the momento please

I might just come anyways ;) Put me on the interested list, please

914 days, 17 hours, 51 minutes ago

RE: Announcement: Gathering Mid Europe (Ruhr area - Duisburg) ...

@plumilol Go for DUS or CGN.

914 days, 17 hours, 46 minutes ago

shodan

RE: Announcement: Gathering Mid Europe (Ruhr area - Duisburg) ...

Plumilol:
Airport: "Düsseldorf International"
Several local trains per hour from the Airport Station to Duisburg Central Station. The trains need usually 10-15 minutes for the ride.

Cologne Airport 'Köln/Bonn „Konrad Adenauer“', the frequency of the trains should be about the same, but they take 60-90 min.

914 days, 17 hours, 44 minutes ago

RE: Announcement: Gathering Mid Europe (Ruhr area - Duisburg) ...

@Plumilol: Good other things to be seen as a tourist: Cologne! Avoid Düsseldorf at all costs. *grin, duck, run from the incoming fire*
(I am biased, I come from the same side of the Rhine as the proper side of Cologne)

914 days, 17 hours, 33 minutes ago

RE: Announcement: Gathering Mid Europe (Ruhr area - Duisburg) ...

Yeah, head for Cologne hospitality! Famous in the Universe!

914 days, 17 hours, 32 minutes ago

shodan

RE: Announcement: Gathering Mid Europe (Ruhr area - Duisburg) ...

@ARAL:
Well, now I know who the real enemy is. ;-P

@Plumilol: Tourist attraction are very dense in this area, what type do you fancy?

Old big churches? Then cologne is a must. But they have no beer. They have something that is called "Kölsch", that tastes like American light beer.

More interested in night life? Cologne, Düsseldorf or any other big cities nearby will do, except there is no beer in Cologne. ;-p

914 days, 17 hours, 14 minutes ago

RE: Announcement: Gathering Mid Europe (Ruhr area - Duisburg) ...

@Shodan: Game on!

@Plumilol: don't listen to the beer talk from someone who drinks brown piss :D
Neither Cologne nor Düsseldorf have beer. Pilsener is the real stuff. Cologne is a nice city apart from that though. ;) Düsseldorf is just wanna-be posh and thereby terribly awkward.

914 days, 17 hours, 11 minutes ago

mcnimble

RE: Announcement: Gathering Mid Europe (Ruhr area - Duisburg) ...

@Plumilol Duisburg: http://www.landschaftspark.de/der-park if I come (likely) I will (also likely) go there and see if I can shoot some nice photos, either on Sat or Sun.

Other than that, for Duisburg, my LP pretty much refers me to the area where dinner will take place ;)

Equidistant from the city are Xanten (roman), Essen (coal mine) and Düsseldorf. Köln is only a little bit further away. Have a look yourself, then figure out how many days you want to spend.

914 days, 3 hours, 17 minutes ago

RE: Announcement: Gathering Mid Europe (Ruhr area - Duisburg) ...

@Plumiol, Don't worry, I speak very little German too, just enough to ask if someone else speaks English!

Also, I'd avoid Dusseldorf on the Sunday, unless you want to enter the Marathon! It is what has brought me across, and the Planets get together is a bonus.

914 days, 2 hours, 53 minutes ago

emork the lizard king

RE: Announcement: Gathering Mid Europe (Ruhr area - Duisburg) ...

Hi Dr Apocolypse, you don’t run the marathon, do you? I thought about it but for me it’s incompatible with the Planets dinner the night before.

@Plumiol: It’ll be nice to meet you in person after we had such an exciting competition in two sectors.

913 days, 22 hours, 54 minutes ago

RE: Announcement: Gathering Mid Europe (Ruhr area - Duisburg) ...

@Emork - I am running, but not the whole marathon, I'm in a relay team with some work colleagues (I work for a company based in Dusseldorf) and I'm running the 13.1km leg. This means I wont be drinking alcohol, and I've already looked at the menu to see what is least likely to give me trouble!

913 days, 22 hours, 9 minutes ago

emork the lizard king

RE: Announcement: Gathering Mid Europe (Ruhr area - Duisburg) ...

It would be a nice challenge for next year's Planets dinner to form a relay team of Echo Commanders. I'll come back to this ... :)

913 days, 21 hours, 11 minutes ago

RE: Announcement: Gathering Mid Europe (Ruhr area - Duisburg) ...

Only if we can spread the relay to different racing types... I can't run if my life depended on it - but I could do a swimming, sailing or motorbike leg... :D
