Does anyone know any other members in real life?

Closest person I could realisitically meet would be noname, but I lack the finances to get to the city anytime soon.

I think I can manage Aaron.. it's just 9 years..

:^.^:

Lillefot · **Reply #22 on:** June 11, 2008, 12:11:43 PM

The closest members for me, I guess it would be;
Vilstrup - 4 hour drive
Chomper 360 - 2 hour drive

:^.^:

Mumbling · **Reply #23 on:** June 11, 2008, 12:29:32 PM

For me the closest member would be orchid141, 30 minutes with an average speed of 20 km/h .

After that I guess platvoetje, kjeldo.. Malte also is living quite close

As Malte has already stated, he gave me the pleasure of gracing me with his presence back in 2004. He came and stayed with me for a few days at one of my homes in London.

Twas a glorious meeting! :^.^: Someday soon Malte, I have promised....I will return the favour and come visit you. And I'm a man of my word!

You need to be my personal guide as I've never been to Germany before. That and I can hardly speak a shred of German so I'd be pretty stuck

Threehorn's a regular I tend to visit every now and again. Seeing as he's just the other side of London to me, it's an easy train ride up there. We game, go out to town, game some more, muck about...play MORE games (I think you can see where this goes. :^.^: ) It's kind of amazing discussing travelling distances. For you guys and gals in the states, it takes a few hours by plane to get from one side of the USA to the other. You can traverse the length of the UK in a same amount of time but by car!

:^.^: Little wonders eh?

I'd like to meet more fellow GOF members so if I'm in the neighbourhood...I'll drop ya a line

(whenever that will be PMSL

)

Sounds like both of you have a lot of fun together.

The Chronicler · **Reply #26 on:** June 12, 2008, 04:58:50 PM

I'm not interested in meeting any members anytime soon, but if anyone is interested, I live in the western part of Vermont, near the southern half of Lake Champlain.

jedi472 · **Reply #27 on:** June 12, 2008, 05:23:11 PM

As I am stuck in a small town in Michigan, I really don't know who I am close to. I suppose the closest I've ever been to another GOF member was when the plane I was on stopped at the Heathrow airport before moving on to Turin, Italy. Unfortunatly, I didn't have time to go out and visit either Threehorn or Littlefoot1616. Oh, well. There's always next time.

arrogantrex · **Reply #28 on:** June 12, 2008, 06:43:23 PM

I'd love to meet people if I could.

Kor · **Reply #29 on:** June 12, 2008, 08:31:51 PM

It would be nice, maybe some can someday.

pokeplayer984 · **Reply #30 on:** June 12, 2008, 10:15:03 PM

Nope. No one yet.

However, I will be going on a cruise in August. Me and my family will start in Florida and end in Mexico then head back. Is there any from here at those places?

Mumbling · **Reply #31 on:** August 19, 2009, 03:57:28 PM

It's been over a year since this topic was living but..
I'd like to add Action9000 in here.

action9000 · **Reply #32 on:** August 19, 2009, 04:02:25 PM

Yep, I'm happy to say I've met Mumbling in real life, as can be in seen in our profile pictures!

Hmmmmm. Not yet. I was hoping to go see a member or two this summer if I'm not too busy. Problem is, I don't know how to speak any languages with 100% accuracy except for English. I know around 75%-80% of Japanese, but I don't think we have any Japanese members. I probably know around 10% of Spanish, but that's pretty useless. If I were to visit another member in a country that spoke a language other than English, I would have to hire a translator and that's where things start getting expensive. -_- I mean, staying there in a hotel, food, gas, and the plane ticket would probably run me only $2,000, but when I have to pay double for everything because I've got a translator AND pay them a wage for coming along, I'd be lucky to get out of it paying less than $6,000.

Really? I think there might be a lot of books on a lot of different languages. I think if you know where you're going and what language they speak ahead of time. You could go to Barnes and Noble or whatever and pick up a translating book there. That might be a dumb idea but If I were to go to another country where people don't speak english that's what I would do at least.

But, back on topic I haven't really met anyone on the GOF before.

I really wish to meet you dudes and girls but I'm stuck in singapore far away in southeast asia with only one week of holiday.

landbeforetimelover · **Reply #35 on:** August 20, 2009, 03:49:05 AM

Since I've moved to Minnesota, the closest member to me is Nick22. Unfortunately it's about a 6 hour drive and we're not real close on the forums. We hang out in different section so we don't know each other very well. But perhaps one day when I've got my life started and I've got my own business I'll go meet him. I don't have the time for anything right now....least of all a few days off.

Paradise Bird · **Reply #36 on:** August 20, 2009, 06:20:22 PM

Man I really want to go america now but I can't!

Grungecat · **Reply #37 on:** August 20, 2009, 10:06:54 PM

I of course, know Alex. But we live together so that isn't very interesting, is it?

Petrie. · **Reply #38 on:** August 21, 2009, 06:06:01 AM

You should say you see Alex everyday and how you're best of friends, and its by chance you both decided to register here.

Somehow I don't think that would work but it would sound more amazing to those who didn't know you were brothers.

Littlefoot1616 · **Reply #39 on:** August 21, 2009, 06:21:04 PM

Guess I can now add to my list of met members since my trip to Scandinavia! Since coming to the board I have met:

Malte
Threehorn
Lillefot
Nimrod

Hopefully, with a little luck, I can look forward to seeing many more!
