But then I wouldn't appear as original and witty!



Also, I'm starting to have second thoughts about Doyler going. It's only a matter of time before he starts trouble with the french.

Flight booked!

How many people have/have not got a room?

Lythero

Alioune's freeeeeeeee

Just kidding of course, he beat me 7-4 in that bout (was months ago). The connection was really good for Marvel though.

That's a pretty hype montage of moments from last year's event. Looks like a nice location too

Not yet in my case, but it wouldn't be a bad idea to organise it now/let folks know who's already sorted.

I don't have one either. No point waiting to book though, I think six people to a room is the standard?

If that's the case, we can say the next four roomless people to reply counts as a room.

Then one of us can book it, I don't mind doing it.

That would be fantastic, I'm on the hotels **** list for booking with a 3V last year like a clever boy:pac:

Due to this, Had to run off and print out loads of documents on a french computer

Doesn't look too bad, trust me; ****ing nightmare to type on

Lythero

3 down.

What hotel are you booking from by the way?

Same as last year, Can't remember the name, Voa knows the place

Lythero

Looked at last years thread. These two hotels are mentioned:

HOTEL PIERRE & VACANCES - Cannes Beach
&
HOTEL MAEVA - Cannes Verrerie:


Don't suppose you remember which one it was?

Naphiel

The first one.

UberPrinny_Baal

It's Cannes Beach I'm pretty sure.

How much did a full room booking cost anyone who did one already?

I'm tempted to get a French person to make the call for me and use Kurama_Tengu's secret phrase to try to maximise our discount...

Crafty thinking.

I have no french friends though.

Here's what I found so far
which suggests €430 for one room. Which, if you got the two twin & sofa bed, would leave 5 beds for 6 people?

€430 is correct, I don't see where it says the exact number of beds, but I think the room I was in last year was two single beds, one double bed and a sofa bed, so 5 lads yeah.

If anyone is super concerned about the difference between a 5 way split (€86) as opposed to a 6 way (€72) we can always force a sixth person to sleep on the floor.

Otherwise I guess we only have two free spaces going as of this moment.

Me and Lee will not be sharing again : s

Lythero

€86 for 5 nights is still great, so you wouldn't hear me complaining. If they can offer double twin beds then I'm sure everyone would prefer that too. To make it simple there's a drop box if you're booking online that decides whether it's two double or two twin beds, but that would take out the "Phone a French Friend" option.

Its the Cannes Beach one for defo. If you guys go to the wgc website below and look under accomodation you can get a special rate of €70/night for the 5/6 person room, you just have to ring them to book it and say you're going to the Festival des Jeux, i'm booking the room for my gang of six this week. Also If i remember correctly Doom's gang were in a 6 person room last year, and what happened is there was a matress put on the floor for the sixth person, not great but it does in fact take six. That leaves the room working out around €65 each for five nights.

Huh okay, for some reason I thought that two full rooms were already booked, and that I was likely booking the third.

For the sake of easy logistics I made this: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0ApLd-FYOVg6jdDNiUkxyYTBXbzRqXzRuTlNqTlhkMEE

It would be cool if the people booking rooms could fill this out. Especially if there's another unfilled 3 people room that I could just merge mine with to get it done quickly.

You are, i'm taking care of myself, my bf eoghan, Voa, Voa's gf Siobhan, Paul Kerrigan and Dark Talant. We booked our flights together and we're all sharing a room so we're sorted already. Doom AJ and Rachael have sorted their own flights and accom already too.

It won't let me edit the google doc but can you update that much for me? thanks!

I'm gonna try and go to this, gonna see what I can do tonight.
