Did we have to reserve the buttons or can we still buy them from you?

if you mean the dinner, usually between 10-20. last year we had to split the difference by paying around 4-5 bucks to the person who bought the pizza and that's Yoda ><. the whole weekend... personally for me, i'd say 20-40 bucks. if possible less than 20. idk about others :?

Only had Subway last year so around 10. It was good enough for me at least.

The amount of money that you have to spend on food (in CAD) should be less than the amount of time spent waiting for it (in minutes)
Otherwise you're probablyyy doing something wrong

don't get your hopes up. it's gonna be long. last year myself, Yoda, Princess and Raiden had to wait around an hour for our passes, js.
blissfulyoshi
1 hour is nothing. On the early day pickup for AX last year, the ticket machines broke down, so some people waited 6 hours to get their pass. The day before that, on the first day, I waited 5 hours to get my pass, so yeah.... 1 hour is nothing xD.

I know there's a Google Hangouts thing that's just about to happen but... well...
...um

Would anyone prefer to use Skype instead? I'm personally a lot more familiar with the platform and I know a lot of people who do use Skype (rather than Hangouts).
blissfulyoshi
I don't know if we will continue with Hangouts or not, as I stated in various places, I just want to get people to a platform first to get the ball rolling and test the platform. We can use that information to decide our final platform.

As for other updates, I sent a Hangout invite to everyone on the current sign up except Kannagi Miyabi, nanerb555 (MethClass), and Trust because of technical difficulties and lack of knowledge of correct username. If you still want an invite, pm me your Google User Account, and I'll add you in.

Also, if anyone wants to compare platforms, max users in a group chat: (this is not reflective of how platforms perform, but since we should have space for at least 50 ppl in the group, Facebook is out of the question imo)
Skype: 300
Hangouts: 150
Whatsapp: 100
Facebook: 50
KRZY
Yeah I'm going to this too can't miss Asapon

I probably don't wanna meet up with 50+ people but if you know me and would like to see me feel free to, I'll be there for the whole 3 days

May 22 is my birthday! Same as the Futami twins!
YTYuyu
omg i didn't think you'd be coming KRZY. looking forward to see you there :D
blissfulyoshi
Just some stats for people. I currently have 22 people (including myself) join the Google Hangouts chat. If you want to be invited in, just pm or anyone else on the list to add you to the chat.

Didn't get anything from you via email
blissfulyoshi
I added you to the group already those, strange..., going to do a quick test pm.

Edit: Just sent.

Edit 2: If you have any technical issues with Hangouts, please ask immediately, so I can help you resolve it.

Edit 3: Just talked to those, and we resolved his connection issues. Here is his advice: "If you don't see anyone else in the chat, ...you'd have to look through the invite menu to find the invitation" Hopefully that advice helps someone.

Bump.

blissfulyoshi
Kitsunemimi, I don't know how to use Skype as well, so if you want to use Skype, can you facilitate the group joining of it?

Since some people have been asking how to join the hangouts group, here is a quick guide to accept the invite through the web client.

Guide
1. Click on your name on the left hand profile

2. Click on invites
3. Click on the chat you were invited to

4. A box should open up on the bottom left asking you to accept or ignore, press accept.

Anyone want to try Slack out?

- Slack offers one-on-one messaging, private groups, persistent chat rooms, direct messaging as well as group chats organized by topic.
- Unlimited number of users
- Slack provides apps for iOS, Android, and Windows. Slack also provides a Web version accessible from a browser.

I've already started the group. If you'd like to try it out, message me your email and I'll send you an invite. I really like the idea of different set channels (ie: Want to suggest a panel to go to? Let others know what panels others are headed to? Wondering what panels fellow osu! members are currently headed to? Check out #panels!)


pmon
heard of slack, haven't tried. Same with hangouts, haven't used before. Would prefer Skype.

A Skype group will be set up soon, however I'm pretty sure a lot of you here have used it to some extent and are already familiar with it.

I'd appreciate it if people would just check out/try the alternatives (if applicable) and give feedback/comparisons/opinions etc...

I'll put up a poll once we near the end of the month.
