Posts from Organization of a Moscow qualifier. Auto-translated

Well, in principle, we can organize this event...

Let's decide on the date and timeframe; Moscow residents and those who want to come and participate or just watch this gathering, please share your thoughts.
A lot depends on this. Once we determine the dates and timeframe, we can start discussing and creating the event program.
We will be glad to see everyone!

P.S. I'll take care of finding a good club with a great atmosphere :smile24:

I'm ready to participate if this event takes place from mid-January to mid-February. A strict work schedule doesn't allow for relaxation :smile33:

Sag also expressed his wishes regarding the timing – he will be busy until the end of January. Therefore, it seems optimal to start on February 5-6 and continue on February 12-13.

I would gladly host a qualifying round at the club at any time. I probably won't be able to help much with the organization, except maybe to meet people and get them together.

I also have a small chance, but the best time would be the March weekend (6-8); February is quite busy for me...
So, even in March, the chances are 30/70...

I also have a small chance, but time-wise, the March weekend (6-8) would be convenient, as February is busy...

Is it not an option to come to Napalm? It's closer, and you can play poker there.

Isn't it possible for Napalm to come over? It's closer, and you can play poker.

He's just a student...

I didn't think about Kingissepp right away, and now it's too late; I won't have time to get a foreign passport, and flying isn't an option; it would be more expensive than going to Moscow...

Everything is fine :) Experience communicating with Muscovites shows that they have a sufficiently developed sense of self-importance to perceive such phrases with humor.

If necessary, renaming won't take long.

Please rename it. Moreover, it won't take you long to do it. Thank you.

I'm against it! You're welcome.

I'm against it! No way.

Why?:)

The forum engine glitched out; it's strongly resisting the topic renaming. Guess I'll have to live with it...

If needed, renaming it doesn't take long.

At samatron's request, I renamed it; it didn't take me long, and everything works for me.
We are all different; if something offends someone, why is it necessary?

So, have you decided on the dates?

Hello to all who want to participate and to those who want to watch the qualifying round "live". Since I volunteered to arrange a venue for our meeting and the tournament, I'm getting involved, so to speak. Here's the plan: We considered several options, but after weighing all the pros and cons, we decided that only one option would work well for us. The venue is located 5 minutes from the Tretyakovskaya metro station (almost in the city center, which will be convenient for everyone). The venue is run by some good friends of mine, and they will treat us well, both in terms of technical support and general atmosphere (we can even bring our own food and have a picnic there). Smoking is allowed at the venue (which is important for some players; those who don't smoke can be seated at computers in a separate area). The venue has reasonable prices (60-70 rubles per hour, but I'll be negotiating tomorrow to get a better price, since we won't need internet access on all the computers and we'll be there for 2-3 days, so we can get a bulk discount). In general, the venue is simple (not a VIP lounge), but I think it will be suitable for our meeting and the game. All that remains is to decide on a date, starting from February 15th. I think the weekend of the 18th, 19th, or 20th would be great, or the following weekend. And, of course, we need to determine the number of players and attendees so that I can inform the venue in advance how much space we need. If we gather 30-40 people, we can pool our money, pay a reasonable price, and rent the venue exclusively for us for those days, so that no one else can enter. That would be a great time! So, discuss it, ask me or Vik if you have any questions. My ICQ is 330918714, and my mobile phone number is +7 (916) 679-45-78. Vik, start promoting this to Yur, because time is running out. And if anyone wants to come and watch this spectacle from other cities, they need to book tickets in advance, just like you. Good luck to everyone!
