The Grand Dutch Efteling Experience

→ moved from User talk:Infinite

So after yet another day of tonnes of fun in this themepark, I am totally wanting to go again. And then I realized a lot of wiki-goers are Dutch! How about we have a Dutch-out in the Efteling this summer? I am wondering which Dutchies from here would fancy joining me and each other for the whole day. If you'd be up for a day of the Efteling during this summer, leave a message here with the exact dates you already have plans and we can start figuring out a date! :D
Also, I am totally willing to geek out about Guild Wars 2 during the day as well! Either way let me know if and when you'd be available! :) - Infinite - talk 19:49, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

I'd love to go but it'll be mostly for fun as I can't stand rollercoasters and such. (just watching makes me go... well.. let's keep it clean. :P) --The Holy Dragons 19:54, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

Suprises suprises.. +1 -- Cyan 19:54, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

This is a really cool idea - I hope it goes well. You could use GW2W:CP to get more people interested. pling 20:12, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

Cheers Pling! - Infinite - talk 20:20, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

Efteling... nnngnngng *shiver*. Notnx Waar Kijk Je Naar™ 20:27, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

It's so much fun, though! All the other parks are going bankrupt anyway. Last time I was in Walibi World there were like 3 rides closed. zzzz :P - Infinite - talk 20:39, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

You are never too old to enjoy the Efteling *cough* only 20 *cough* -- Cyan 20:41, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

Agreed, you really have to get a ride in the Python (but are there really that many dutch on the wiki O.o?). Damysticreaper 21:04, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

More then visible at first sight, maybe has something to do with talking english all the time =) -- Cyan 21:20, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

sennar and shae are dutch too :P --The Holy Dragons 21:42, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

(Reset indent) Just come, Holy Dragons, you know you want too. <3 --Sirrush 18:26, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

Mehhh, I do and do not want to go. Want; Haven't been there for quite some time, enjoy going in nearly every ride, walking in the park is actually quite relaxing. Not want; Risk on waiting lines, transport to and from where I live (although it is nearby +/- 15km), and an other reason. I'll sleep some nights over it. :+ Ge4ce-Talk-Contribs 18:35, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

Queueing with everyone will still be fun! We can chat about stuff (somehow I figure the topics will consist of games and more games, such as GW2)! xD - Infinite - talk 18:38, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

Imma hunt for some money as I heard the Efteling is kinda expensive! ^^ Holy--31.151.75.38 19:18, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

Ehem, it isn't that far for a couple of the barbarians from Germany. 88.152.25.23 21:36, 7 July 2011 (UTC)

I'll skip this time, but'll be there next time! If we're going somewhere else then. :P Ge4ce-Talk-Contribs 04:22, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

It's quite far for most Dutchies already, but of course Germans who live close enough are free to join up as well! :) - Infinite - talk 08:42, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

Are the lowly IP signature dutchies invited as well? :p 199.245.34.11 08:56, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

Well I wouldn't call them lowly, just hard to pinpoint as to who they might be. :P - Infinite - talk 09:11, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

Should I bring a sign saying "199.245.34.11"? :p 199.245.34.11 10:05, 15 July 2011 (UTC)

Date planning

For an approximate date I was thinking somewhere mid-/end-July. If that is alright for most Dutchies we can start sorting a date further. If not we can also make it sooner/later. Last weeks of August will be tricky for me. :) - Infinite - talk 02:20, 2 July 2011 (UTC)

Late July/Early August, preferably. Birthday on the 22nd, so I definitely can't go then. :) --Sirrush 18:24, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

There's two options at this stage from my end:

1. We plan it on the 16th, 23rd or 30th of July and stay in the park till whatever time people feel like it.
2. We wait till the 20th of August if this means we can include a certain foreigner who's moving to the main coast.

Also I am still waiting to see which dates are definitely out for everyone! :) - Infinite - talk 14:27, 7 July 2011 (UTC)

I'll be on vacation for 2 yeaks starting on the 30th of july --The Holy Dragons 16:25, 7 July 2011 (UTC)

Sorry but i am passing the offer. I'm not much of the event type. Damysticreaper 20:17, 7 July 2011 (UTC)

Hah now I will mess around with some scedules! Work needs me on 23, 24, 28 and 29 of july + 3, 4, 5, 7, 11 and 12 of august. Also, its most likely that I will go on a short holiday with my best friends somewhere in august, so yes, I like it chaotic and messed up. Im available the 16th though =P -- Cyan 22:02, 10 July 2011 (UTC)

(Reset indent) So how is the 16th (this weekend) for everyone? - Infinite - talk 15:07, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

I'll be on 'vacation' from the 15th 'till at least the first of August,... :/ --Naoroji 15:30, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

This weekend is a double no-no for me (overbooked). But until Gamescom there's plenty of room. --178.116.210.219

To elaborate; I'm free from the 1st of August 'till the 29th of August, but not on the 12th. It's my birthday ^^'. --Naoroji 16:03, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

16Th won't work for me, no. Pretty much everything after 22nd does, though. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Sirrush (talk • contribs).

(Reset indent) We are now looking at something in August. Maybe I should make a calender-like page on which we can cross out the dates on which at least 1 of us is absent. For me it'd be the 21st of August and onwards. - Infinite - talk 12:41, 13 July 2011 (UTC)

yeah.. --The Holy Dragons 15:08, 13 July 2011 (UTC)

14 days left Make up your mind people! --The Holy Dragons 15:13, 13 July 2011 (UTC)

Just found out about this, waarom doen we het niet in het nederlands? anyway, I would like too come to, i can come at all the dates that are still available, although my birthday is the 10th of august, so preferably not on that day :) -- Michiel - 15:31, 13 July 2011 (UTC)

Probably because non-dutch people can also join and is followed by non-dutch as well. An other reason is that gwwiki uses english (so far you can still call it english) as the language used to talk wich all people (for those who know it) can read (understanding is a different thing;p). Goed genoeg of is het geen goed antwoord voor je? Da Mystic Reaper 17:03, 13 July 2011 (UTC)

It doesn't really matter to me why we don't speak dutch, i speak english well enough, i was just wondering-- Michiel - 17:53, 13 July 2011 (UTC)

If the event won't be attended by any foreigners we will probably speak Dutch that day anyway. :P - Infinite - talk 18:00, 13 July 2011 (UTC)

Ew, Dutch. Anyways, I'm basically available whenever after then 22nd. --Sirrush 19:49, 13 July 2011 (UTC)

Sounds like fun, I wish I could go....-- Necro Shea Mo 03:13, 17 July 2011 (UTC)

(Reset indent) Lets really take a date then, otherwise we will get nowhere. I say the 15th or 18th, the journey will cost me something either way, despite being weekend or not. Discuss. -- Cyan 02:01, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

I can go whenever, so can Sirrush. - Infinite - talk 21:34, 22 July 2011 (UTC)

Once again, for all the attendees who didnt respond yet, give an actual date you want to go instead of a period, I would much appreciate it, because I have also other things to plan along August. Besides, we don't want this to fail, right? =) -- Cyan 11:16, 27 July 2011 (UTC)

Alright, August 13th. --Sirrush 18:01, 29 July 2011 (UTC)

I am available on August 13th. - Infinite - talk 18:56, 29 July 2011 (UTC)

August 13th, 2011

Please confirm your attendance below (add your name below if you had not yet been attending, but want to join on this date):

Cyan	1
Holy
Infinite	1
Karasu	- Doubt I'd be able to attend, sorry.
Naoroji (and his girlfriend)	1
Sirrush	1
...

This allows me to checklist everyone before we go in, in case we end up leaving people behind without this list. - Infinite - talk 12:56, 6 August 2011 (UTC)

isnt holy gunna be gone till the 16th or sumthin?--Angelkiss 15:35, 6 August 2011 (UTC)

Nope, he'll be back on time. - Infinite - talk 17:39, 6 August 2011 (UTC)

oh >.> --Angelkiss 20:01, 6 August 2011 (UTC)

(Reset indent) A girl will join our gathering, what is this madness, Nao!? --Sirrush 21:51, 10 August 2011 (UTC)

Wait, what? -- Cyan 21:55, 10 August 2011 (UTC)

Obviously this isn't madness. Obviously this is a certain historical city-state in ancient Greece. --Naoroji 15:15, 12 August 2011 (UTC)

(Reset indent) Already awake and getting ready, haha. - Infinite - talk 05:00, 13 August 2011 (UTC)

You're inSANE D: --Naoroji 06:46, 13 August 2011 (UTC)

Rush is already on the train! xD - Infinite - talk 06:47, 13 August 2011 (UTC)

Ready to go in

Me, Cyan and Rush are here and wondering if we missed anyone arriving. - Infinite - talk 07:53, 13 August 2011 (UTC)

Have a good time, you crazy kids. ::hobbles on cane:: Redshift 10:11, 13 August 2011 (UTC)

Conclusion

It is safe to say, regardless of the attendence of a whopping only 5 people, that this event was a success and will make a return. Hopefully with more people! Even from other countries! Truly a day worth experiencing at least once. :) - Infinite - talk 21:03, 13 August 2011 (UTC)

and I just returned from the Czech Republic today Q.Q /cut wrist--The Holy Dragons 21:17, 13 August 2011 (UTC)

You said it would be yesterday! :< I missed you! - Infinite - talk 21:34, 13 August 2011 (UTC)

I was said the vacation would take 14 days which was 16 instead and I could hardly walk back to The Netherlands all the way from the Czech Republic. --The Holy Dragons 21:46, 13 August 2011 (UTC)

Awww man, no wonder I was convinced you would make it. Come over anyday and we'll go together! :P - Infinite - talk 22:09, 13 August 2011 (UTC)

Hi, everything hurts. But it was awesome. <3 --Sirrush 23:00, 13 August 2011 (UTC)

Getting 5 people to meet from a wiki of a game that isn't released yet, doesn't sound so bad to me :) Thering 11:18, 14 August 2011 (UTC)

Correction: My girlfriend is not from the wiki! Also, Infi, you made an English fail, see if you can spot it =3. --Naoroji 21:29, 14 August 2011 (UTC)

I'm spotting several, tbh. --Sirrush 22:07, 14 August 2011 (UTC)

I spent the day forced to speak Dutch. Give me a break! :< - Infinite - talk 11:22, 15 August 2011 (UTC)

We don't. -- Cyan 11:34, 15 August 2011 (UTC)

(Reset indent) S'ok. I make plenty of English fails all the time, and I don't have any excuse. :D Redshift 12:36, 15 August 2011 (UTC)
