Ok, now that all you travelers had two (2!) days to rest, time to spill the
beans.
I hereby officially call for a NELUG meeting!
both Jennifer and I are free most of the week, so what times are good
everyone else? Oh, we are now mobile (finally got a car), so we can get
anywhere, and see everything! *grin*

Thursday of this week is good for me.
All next week is very, very bad - we're moving on Wednesday, prepping Monday
and Tuesday, and we will undoubtedly be full up Thursday and Friday.
All of the week after that (5th-9th) looks good (leaning towards the first
half, since it's sooner :P )!

Thursday works ok for me as well... So that's at least 5 people (Dan, Jen,
Shaun, Joe & me). Sounds like a meeting :)

exactly what I was going to say. and now, that we're in the required 24
hour notice zone, can we call it official? Where are we going? TCS and
then to Franca's? Do we need to let them know?

My very satellite self isn't going to get into Massachusetts
anytime before the 7th, but I have a quasi-official "sign-off"
from Susan if anyone's interested in trying to get BrikWars
together the weekend of 9-10-11 August. And yes, I'll bring
"It." ("Her?")

Um, probably don't need to notify them unless we're having an utter gob of
people showing up, in which case we might want to warn Franca's... Oh, and I
was assuming that this'd be your typical meeting, swinging by TCS around
6-7pm then heading over to Franca's. Unless someone has a different plan?

Sounds like a great idea! All I ask, nay, *beg* is that it isn't held on the
10th. I have a wedding to attend.

I'm available any day. What, you don't think It would make a good
cake topper? (I will happily defer to the majority. I don't have
a necessary workaday schedule.)

Could we plan on getting together on the 11th (Sunday)? Of the days you
mentioned, Sunday is the only one that I'm available, and it works for Joe as
well. How about everybody else?
And, what should we do? Shop at TCS and hang out for an extended lunch/MOC
viewing? Play a game of Brikwars (ooh! ooh! modular game number 2?)? Hang out
at somebody's place and build with the NELUG supply?
Lindsay, any requests? Other people, suggestions?

Well, I was hoping to have a brickwars event at my place that weekend
anyways so why don't we have another modular brikwars game. We can reuse
the old modules plus add some new ones. Any suggestions on a scenario?
If someone wants to bring over some of NELUG's lego to the event, then we
can play with that as well. I have some extra pieces from the bridge, but
not enough to build anything interesting (mostly 2x4 bricks).

The 11th is fine. I can do my drive on the 10th that way, and
avoid the Friday rush.

Have you got enough room for a ship? :D I might build a few modules,
if you can point me to a clearinghouse of module directions (though
I know the basics are 16x16 with 2 six-wide doorways in each face).
Any particular ones needed, corridors, rooms, etc?
Also, any way I can drop something big off on the 10th? Just so
it's not in my backseat all weekend...

Definitely. We can set it up in the guest room. How big a table do you
need for it?

Close, The basic size is a 16x16, but with 8 wide doors. There are also 1x2
technic bricks located on each side (see Module Design).
Module Design:
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=17291
On the map, I've included five 32x32 modules that need to be built (see '?'
modules on the MAP). These modules are design to be interchangable by
having the doorways in the same location (see Door location..). This design
allows us to add a little mystery to the map by not knowing the exact layout
of the ship. I only need four of these built since I've already built one.
MAP:
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=212700
Door location of needed modules:
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=212763
Since Susan and Lindsay haven't seen the modules from the last game, I would
like to encourage everyone to put covers on there modules (simple base plate
placed on top). This applies to any new ones as well.

That's fine since no one is staying in the guest room. Will you be setting
it up that night? :-) That way I can get a sneak peak at it. Pictures
only do so much and I'm dying to see the details.
By the way, do you have a place to stay while you're in town? The guest
room is free if you want it.
Send me an email directly and I can send you directions.

The footprint is 13' x 20". That's the minimum platform space
needed. (Thus it might need a floor--the NELUG tables might not
support it, given that it weighs around 200lb.)

Oh! Okay. Now I'm with it. Thanks for the pointer.

Hmmm. I might be able to build two, but that would be the
most. Any color standards I should bear in mind? Preferences?
Etc.? (And, of course, ought I bring a squad, or are we using
my Japanese sailors?)

Susan? If you're talking about my Susan, there's no way in Hell
she'd come to BrikWars. :) She appreciates my obsession, but
does not in any way wish to share it.

I stay in Cambridge with my NLSO. :) I can theoretically set it
up that night, depending on how much smacking around it takes in
the process of moving.

Will do. The email LUGNET lists also works. Are you in Boston
proper?

Is it really 13 feet long? It doesn't look that big in the photos. Yes I
have floor space. Gog that is big.

I don't think sailors will fit in very well with a TL6 space ship, but it
might still be funny. Currently I'm thinking of a 300-400cp for each of the
two teams, but I need figure out if that works with the size of the ship. I
don't want it to be too crowded.
Colors are up to you. Here are some of the existing modules:
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=19366
Oh, I forgot to mention the orginal module designs are missing a layor of
flats at the base. so the walls are a baseplate, a plate, and 7 bricks tall
in that order.
Two modules should be more than enough. I can build some blanks just in case.
I'm going to be posting an offical Brikwars post soon with all the details.

Sorry, from your orginal message I got confused and thought she was coming
along. I'm sorry she doesn't appreciate such a wonderfully creative hobby.
