    Again, it depends...

    ...the conference hall (that you know from past years) is under reconstruction and we will be in the hotel restaurant. I can not estimate if there will be enough place for 4×12+ players. Maybe yes, maybe no. Let's try and see.

    Dan if it is in the restaurant that will mean a late start 10.00 ? and an early finish 18.00 ? to accommodate the other guests

    I believe we will not need to finish so early.
    I made a pre-reservation for us for the evening. We will know more in a month.

    how true it is, what a pity not to do all the things Thomas mentioned, worst of all is not meeting you guys (although sipping some of Nemanja's home brewed (?) slivovitz comes a close second )

    anyway, stay safe and healthy and "we'll meet again "

    Hey guys, what's going on?

  23. #123

    Default

    Well, pandemia under control (at least the first wave) and we are returning to normal regime slowly.
    I spoke with Lįďa on Monday and he added me a new perspective - it would be better to run our gathering during September, because there is Essen Spiel in October and he'll quite in rush.
    I don't tell September will be the date, I want to call with Kubajs firstly and have a short discussion. Theoretically, we don't need his LGS, but in fact is a bloody good place and help for us.
    I'll try to keep you updated.

  24. #124

    Default

    Same here, I guess... We are slowly returning to normal, too, but we'll have elections in June. So, fading anti Covid campaign will be substituted with blooming political campaign.

    Do you have any more precise info when in September (first or second half)?

  25. #125

    Default

    Nope, not yet. It's hard to predi t what will happen in 4 months, especially during summer when most of the people are going for holiday to seaside. Maybe there is an interesting information for you: Governments of the Czech Republic, Austria, Slovenia and Croatia discuss a possibility of special open regime on borders (because holidays). I don't see a reason why Serbia can't participate this.
    And, of course, it depends on Essen Spiel.
    Anyway, Wings of Prague '20 event is still in plans (at least we have badges).
    (I'll reply your email later, this was just brief reaction)

    Dan, please remember the Doncaster Con is still scheduled for September 18-19-20 !
    I don't think it would be wise to have the two major European Wings/Sails events clash with one another

    I keep it in mind because i wanted to go there too (canceled from my side, unfortunately), but nobody knows if there will be a possibility to cross UK borders. Anyway, Doncaster Event date should be safe.

    By the way, CZ goverment plans open borders this or next week. Of course, some added procedures 'negative COVID-19 test or quarantine etc.) will be applied.

    Exclamation New (and better...?...!) Wings of Prague 2020

    Dear friends,
    it seems we know how live with our new little I'm-not-your-friend virus so let me invite you to the second attempt to run Wings of Prague 2020. The new date is from 16th to 18th October and we (me and Kubajs) expecting this date as possible. Of course, there will be probably less of you there, so we asked Lįďa, the store owner, to run whole event there and not in Hotel MARS (at least it is for free in Svět deskovżch her so costs can be reduced).
    Please, be so kind and announce you plans here, especially about:
    1. if you still have Wings of Prague in you plans,
    2. if you want to run you announced missions as GM.
    Thank you

    Well, the dates are fine to me. I am finishing my lectures for young lawyers on 15.10.20. Now must check my mates's plans and the accomodation.
    We will be in touch and the PL team will confirm the escapade plans ASAP. I'll be happy to run a game as well.
    Thanks Daniel and Jakub for your efforts to keep this noble Con tradition running (not mentioning longing for some draught beer...)

    I know about it and feel the same, but understand traveling in these times can be rough. On the other side, even quarantine can be easier in Brittany than enywhere else

    I am sure it is not the last opportunity. Hope situation will be better during next year and we can celebrate 10th year of this con. Crossing fingers

    Hi Dan,
    good of you and Jakub to keep the tradition running
    However, I will not attend this year, just don't dare to take the risk ...

    Good health to you, Jitka, young Veronika, Jakub and all the others over there. Hope you have a wonderful Con

    See you all soon, I hope ...

    I fully understand, Guus. You will be missed, but this year is pretty crazy, so who knows the real risks? I would be happy to meet you again on April for regular Wings of Prague '21 date.

    PS: I am going to buy a Škoda Octavia too, but unfortunately, it will be silver, not the extra color you have

    So...let's work a little.

    I did these updates:

    1. Participants List: confirmed players in black, others in grey.
      • Participant's action needed: Confirm yourself if you have attending in your plans.
      • Pretty sad to delete some flags...
    2. Missions: Battlestar Galactica canceled due to absence of GM, the rest will be discussed with Kubajs in next week(s).
    3. Repaint Contest: Final dates for repaint postponed to October.
      • Tim's action needed: Confirm Repaint Contest is still active.
    4. Location: Svět deskovżch her (Lįďa's shop and game room) only due to less participants and saving costs.

    With heavy heart, I'm going to have to pull out as well.

    Corona case numbers are rising again, countries are being added to and struck off the "Safe" list every week, and I just can't risk being stranded on the wrong side of the Channel if things go sideways in October.
    (Actually, I'd LOVE to have several unplanned weeks in Central Europe but work won't stand for it, not even the potential 14 day compulsory quarantine on return).

    Chances are the UK will be in mid "second spike" by then, and all NHS staff will be needed/valued/appreciated again.

    I hope to come over in the Spring for the next Prague Con, and will run my "Todesrennen" game then.

    As for the Painting Contest, it can go ahead as planned if folks have completed their entries already - I'm happy for others to preside over it.
    I wouldn't want the efforts of painters to be wasted/set aside.

    Cool

    Yesterday we had a meeting on a "boardgamecamp" in Lįďa's store with youngsters. If the virus let us run the con (and you enter CZ and return back again) it should be OK. There are plenty of free Air B'n'B for budget costs, same for travelling, so the only danger is colours on maps. Feel free to ask about actual COVID situation before. So far it looks we can fit between 2nd and 3rd wave.

    Hugs are cancelled too for 2020, I‘m afraid...
