Ladies and gentlemen! I bid thee all welcome to Iceland. As the Veto un-official director of excessive beer consumption, parties and real life gatherings I invite you all to join us on the Wednesday, September 30th, night before fanfest for a game of 8-Ball.
For a few years now we've had pilots spread over several bars excitedly drinking and awaiting the awesome that is Fanfest. Now we're gonna be a bit early on the meeting and greeting of other players. And more importantly, trying to win their in game riches in a game of real life skill, and most importantly: Over a pint.
As it happens there is a pool hall/bar right behind the Nordica Hotel, a pool hall that serves drinks and light snacks. And drinks. Did I mention they have drinks?
An entry fee will be charged. Both out of game fee to cover the cost of the tables and pool hall and an in game fee, yet to be decided, to build up the prize money.
For now this thread is to advertise the tournament and to probe the interest among the fanfest goers. Should enough interest be found amongst you wonderful fellows I shall get the official ball rolling, book the hall and ask them kindly to stock up on beer & mr. Walker.
So my fellow pilots, go forth and give me your opinions, comments and suggestions on everything from prize money to humorous ideas for extra rules to annoy other patrons and tickle our geekish private humour.

I'd like to point ou that this fine establishment serves alcohol according to Jinx.
It also has pool tables. If anyone can suggest a better way to warm up the night before Fanfest hits us, they're lying!

Directions:
Exit Hilton Nordica via front entrance. Turn left. Walk to the end of the house, past Pizza hut and turn left again. Follow the side of the hotel until you come to some concrete stairs. As you come up the staircase you'll see a ramp up the side of the house in front of you. Walk up the ramp and walk besides the house as you come up. There will be an open door and a staircase to walk up. Proceed up the stairs and start consumption of beer.
This is only a couple of minute walk at most. 5 if you're a smoker and have to stop to wheeze every few steps.
Veto will be there in force and I've herd reports of goons planning to attend.

Exit cabin hotel, turn right. Walk until you see a house with a hole in it and a road through the hole. 3rd house on your right, I think. Proceed through hole and walk forward until you see a sign indicating the presence of a pool hall.
Failing that proceed to the nordica lobby and follow previous directions

At what time does this event start? The main web site does not have opening times, the facebook page does so I assume the are correct. Location: Mon - Thurs: 11:00 am - 1:00 am Fri: 11:00 am - 3:00 am Sat: 12:00 pm - 3:00 am Sun: 12:00 pm - 1:00 am

well the 4th wave of VETO reinforcements will arrive in iceland at 1530L ish
from there we have to get into accom, have a bite to eat(beer) and then get sorted (more beer) so say 1900L we should be there.
this is just an estimate, jinx and the gang are drunk on a boat right now (possibly the boat, definately drunk) so unlikely to respond.

Well, my liver seems to be intact after the last few days. My brain was not, however.
See, I managed to lose that piece of paper with the list of poker participants. But from memory I know that:
200m Game winner: The Slayer 100m Game winner: Yblarbo Janks 50m Game winner: Can't ****ing remember 25m Game winner: Vendrin (both of them)
Secondly, the Important announcement: Winner of the 8-Ball tourney 2009 was CDLoon.
Congrats to all the winners and a big bunch of thanks to all who showed up for either a ball game, poker or just simply some beer.
Next year we'll try to be a bit more organized about this and hope some people actually sign up beforehand so this won't have to be done on the fly
