Ack, I won’t arrive until just after 16:00 on thursday and will be on the train during the entire word collection thing.
Will there be any official irc or anything for me to attend while travelling there? =D

i plan to bring a webcam and my eee to set up a webcast somehow, then I guess we have to decide on a twitter hashtag since that’s where all the cool kids hang nowadays. i’m getting pretty damn excited about this!

This is going to be insanely fun.
… I haven’t managed to get a laptop yet though. Anyone have a spare?

grapefrukt: How about #nms or #nms2009?
Hideous: You can probably use Oxeyes Macbook if you like.

i have an old-ass laptop lying around here somewhere but i’d really avoid that unless it’s an emergency

So are teams for the main competition of max size two? Or am I reading the rules wrong?

You can form larger teams if you like.
