Elite Dangerous Premiere Event 22nd November 2014 Discussion Thread

I've updated the list to give accurate numbers (again), and publish the latest info.

This is the list for the pre-meet at Red Lion on Saturday starting between 4 and 4:30. I've advised the Red Lion that there will be ~100 of us! Unless we keep track of this properly there may not be enough staff to keep the beer flowing. Please do your part and help us avoid this disaster - all you need to do is update this post properly.When quoting this list PLEASE:
- Reply and add your username to this list so we have a clue about numbers.
- keep all of this text with it and remove the quote tags so it remains quotable for the next guy
- don't lose the red colouring, which denotes drivers with spare pax seats.
- if you're bringing a +1, put them on a separate line to make the numbers work.

Facts:
- We're talking about this Red Lion - http://www.redlionwhittlesfordbridge.com/
- It is right next to Whittlesford Parkway Railway station and the Whittlesford Holiday Inn Express, and about a 20-30min walk from the venue. The walk has good footpaths but you'll need a torch (phone app will do), and it involves crossing a couple of motorway sliproads.
- I'm in touch with the venue to confirm they will have enough space and staff to keep us dry, warm and refreshed.
- a 3 cabs (2*8 and 1*6 seaters) have been arranged to take us to IWM from 17:50 onwards. They can do 3-4 runs each, so there should be enough space for everyone. Pay the driver.
- Attendees who can provide lifts are marked in red.

I've put the first 75 people in a spoiler to protect your scrolling finger...

It's just such a shame that a special event like this will be tainted to varying extents for attendees depending on their offline view. I'm still looking forward to it and meeting everyone, but it's not with the 100% excitement about the game I might've had before.

Sorry about putting words into your mouth, Juniper. I hope I didn't cause any embarrassment. I was merely going on what you had said yesterday.

Let's hope that something positive happens, though I know for many this has completely shattered their trust in Frontier's word.

It's fine Stephen, I know what I posted yesterday (in anger) and for the most part I stand by all of it.

However, I'm also (believe it or not ;) ) an adult, and sometimes the best way to deal with feeling betrayed is to take a step back and count to 10.

I've reached 7 so far. ;)

Being an adult is *SO* overrated! ;)

I merely took the advice of Yoda, "But beware of the dark side. Anger, fear, aggression; the dark side of the Force are they. Easily they flow, quick to join you in a fight. If once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny, consume you it will." :)

Haha! Actually as a married man with 2 small sprogs also, I'm not about to let a little downer over game features spoil an exceptionally rare night off duty. I was completely shocked when my joking "so can I go to this then darling?" was met with a yes so I plan to enjoy it!

As a dad of 3 [one VERY new 5 months old] I was given green light after muttering softly the details as well - hope to see you there Barns

I feel your pain, mine are quite happily left many hundreds of miles away where their innocence of "computer games" can remain complete.... I'm Happy

I would love to be there, I'd love to cover it for the radio station but our budget is nil and I certain can't afford it....
So... sadly... I'll just pout
