I'm back again with my own side event plans. You might remember me as the one putting together team bowling, bumperballs and many other things for the last 3-4 years at ESA. 

Why do I do this? 
Because from my point of view since I'm not a runner myself I always try to find things to do when I don't have anything to do at the venue for different kinds of reasons. 

I would say that my side events have so far been a success considering that we usually bring together maybe 60-70 people that feel just the same. That it's nice too have something extra at the event for social bonding that you can enjoy. 

This year will be no difference, this year I will bring you, paintball activity.

If you want to join in to this event, If you would like to shoot down you enemies with a colorful rainbow. Post your name below and I will add you to our army for ESA 2017.

The prices are in 3 different package deals:
package 1
300 SEK
100 balls
Mechanical marker
Magazine
Air systems
Mask with double glass
neck Protector
camouflage Coverall

package 2
500 SEK

They also have different plus sides on having more people signed and joining.
These are only accepted if EVERYONE pays for at least package 2 or 3.
Basically if we are 40+ people we will get 4000 extra balls, I don't know how these are splitt though.

15+ individuals
500 free balls.

20+ individuals
1000 free balls.

25+ individuals
1500 free balls.

30+ individuals
2000 free balls.

40+ individuals
4000 free balls.

50+ PEOPLE
Package 1:  200 SEK / person
Package 2:  400 SEK / person
Package 3:  600 SEK / person

I am aiming for 50+ people this years side event. So sign up as many as possible so we can get those extra signup offers. Since these are very special bundles i would like you to ONLY sign up if you REALLY are going please. Not just an "interest check". Sign ups can still be done at the event but that's the same deal. Only if you are actually going.

We are also going to travel there by bus most likely so take that into an account when joining for the cost.

I'm new to this in general..
I have tried learning other games before but now I have finally found a game that I really enjoy learning.

And now im trying to find out how this comunity works.
If theres anywhere where we can talk about these things etc.
Because right now all I have is my discord, my twitter and my stream.

The game I have fallen in love with is the japanese RPG called SMT: Nocturne Hard TDE. Right now I'm learning the notes and the route trough my stream channel (pinkfluffyunicornTV) so people can follow my learning progress and help me if needed.

Any help is aprichiated about where to join in communitys and maybe even joining a group to stream trough on twitch.
Also feel free to join in whenever I'm online to check how it's going for me learning the game. :)

I have to say I find the leaderbords extremely misleading since the only ng runs on this page is run with glitches and the Crucible expansion.

This is sad since the fact I just started this but doing glitchless runs without the Crucible as a ng category and because of that has nothing to compare myself with.

[53/60 slots signed]

**Welcome to #teambowling.**

Team bowing was created already back in 2014 where we created a group during ESA which went to go bowling together. The year after that we extended this side event to everyone joining ESA in general with a great success. We were around 70+ people who signed up to go bowling together.

2016 was a setback since the bowling was closed during the summer so instead we
booked in an event company with their bumperballs event, that also with a huge success.

This year we are bringing #teambowling back to our event with an exra twist to it.
**This years bowling will include:**
- ~ 1.5 h bowling.
- dinner at a pre-booked restaurant
- dinner enetertainment - quiz

**Quiz time**
The quiz will last around one hour and will start after we have finished eating.
The theme of the quiz will be informed before the dinner starts. Team setup will be at
max five people for each team, you may choose on your own who you want to team up with. The winning team on the quiz is the winning team for this years side event and will have their team name written on our event trophy.

**Introducing the side event traveling trophy.**
After two years of acivte side events creations we are now also creating
the side event trophy. This is a prize given out to the winners of the side event that they proudly can show up as their teams prestige moment troughout the time during the event. YES it will be a real trophy, no plastic or candy kind.

The trophy will given to the team winning the side event and be at your disposal during the week. For safety messures etc I'm going to store it at home in between ESA events just so we know that it wont fall off somewhere else and also so you wont have to mail it back to me incase you wont attend the next year. You will get to choose a short team name max 12 characters that later will be visible on the thropy for each years winner. (example: 2017/ xxxxxxxxxxxx)

**Sign up for #teambowling**
You sign up here, talking to me or irregularprograming, on the site etc.
We will have 60 slots open to this! After that they will be closed.
Signed up means you join in to everything. Bowling + food + quiz.

**If you sign up and decide not to come I still need you to pay for your bowling slot.
This is because the price will be an negotiated price with the bowlingalley for us so you will take up a slot that's not getting filled!**

**Payment**
You pay to me after the bowling is over before we go to the restaurant. So please try to keep it quick. Best is if you keep it on the money, making a lot of money exchange will be painful and slow for us before we can move to the restaurant. You can of course also pay in advance during the ESA as long as you talk to me first!

Last day to sign up is the day before the event. Date and time will come up soon!

**Date and time**
Right now there's two days I'm looking at for this event
-Wednesday, July 26, 2017 14.00 and Thursday, July 27, 2017 14.00.
The final will be decided when I get in contact of the bowling area to book a place for us.
These just were the most fitting times for this event.
That means we will gather up at 13.45 before leaving at the entrence of the event and will be done around 17 with the bowling + dinner + quiz.

If any question feel free to ask me.

Cheers.. Dolls

Just making a small post to check if there's anyone who will travel trough these areas to ESA this year
that we can car-pool with? We can meet up either in Mariestad or Skövde. Also will ofc help with payment for gas obviously.

Need spots for two and the earlier the better since we want to be there during setup.

Thanks for any reply in the matter.

(58 of 40 minimum amount of spots filled) note: the more we are the cheaper it will get :)

UPDATES:
1) At dreamhack I was talking to Edenal and since we are renting the sport hall in växjö we are going to use one of the football fields that is right outside the venue for this event. This makes everything a lot easier for both us and the bumperball staff. It will be right next to us where we already are so no walking distance and will make the whole thing run a lot more smoother.

I'm also going to keep the signups open even during the event now for any last signups but at a maximum slots. In other words I'm going to order 40 balls so if you still want to join when we're at ESA just poke me and ask for a signup and I put your name on the list for the event.

So, what time and date have I/we decided on?
We are holding the event on Wednesday at 18.30 since no walking distance this will be a great time for anyone to join in.

2) We are now over 30 people signed to this event and I'm aiming for 40 people.
Because of this the price is a lot lower then what we started as.

For 40 people we will pay 265 SEK each for this event.

Hey

As some might remember I created #TEAMBOWLING2015 which was an event that developed from a previous bowling event from 2014 where we went bowling together during ESA. 2015 was a success with over 50-60 people from ESA signing up for this side event during ESA and this years ESA I'm going to make something even bigger and better.

But for this I need to first make an interest check before I continue further with the plans.

The plans:
This year I found this crazy company that cater to bigger events like ours for example.
It's basically a different way of playing football. You are in a big plastic bubble and try to score goals against the other team.

My thought was IF we get enough people signing up for this to create a good A vs B team and then fight in a true ESA spirit.

Bumperballs:
http://www.bumperballs.nu/ (obs the website is in swedish!)

Minimum price for the bumperball event will be 350 sek for 15-20 people 
depending on how many people that shows interest for this and such.
We are now over 30 people signed to this event and I'm aiming for 40 people.
Because of this the price is a lot lower then what we started as.

For 40 people we will pay 265 SEK each for this event.
Payment will be done to the people holding the event when we are there.
Bring either cash or use swish.

Q&A from the bumperball staff:
- Can anyone play bumperballs regardless of weight or will the balls not fit otherwise?
- Our balls fit for every size so even the "heavier" kind can join in and play.
- Do we have to pre-pay for the event or can you pay during/after the event?
- You can pay before, at the spot and afterwards. At the event we prefere if you pay with cash or swish.
- Will the minutes include setup/instructions and playtime that we pay for?
- The minutes include only the playtime. We will setup everything for you in time and instruct you before everything starts. 60 minutes are prefered if you are 10-20 people 90 minutes is preferd if you are more then 20.

WHEN is it going to happen during ESA?
It's going to be held on Wednesday at 18.30 outside our venue on one of the football fields right next to us. Which makes everything easy without a long walking distance etc.

What first started as a small idea has latley grown bigger and bigger.

I'm going to stream from dreamhack this summer with a podcast type of way. Give people a chance too see how everything is from the place. Show how ESA and their speedrun place is made from behind the schenes. Interview other runners and players fromthe event.

I just wanted to ask if anyone have any ideas what to bring up on the podcast? Any suggestions of any kind etc.

If you want just reply, pm me here or on twitter etc.

What do you think?
Do you think its a good idea to throw together?
Thanks for an kind of input.

Dolls aka Lewdunicorn

can you please post the info to turn on all the boxes in the game. I used to have this but then I lost it a long time ago and i would greatly appreciate it for my derusting of the game.

Me and neviutz are looking for someone to travel with to esa. If there's any kind soul who can pick us up anywhere close to skövde/mariestad.

It would mean the world to us.

Thank you in advance.

Hey

--------------------------------------The plans----------------------------------------

Bumperballs:
http://www.bumperballs.nu/ (obs the website is in swedish!)
edit: just noticed it was wrong link before.. I must have been sleeping at work when i wrote this..
Fixed it now.

What I need to know (IN TIME) is if there is any kind of interest for this kind of event.
I don't know exact price yet per person but if we are 15-20 people then this is the bracket:

15-20 pers
60min 325:-/person
(minsta deb 5250:-)
90min 350:-/person
(minsta deb 5625:-)

So minimum price will probably be 325 sek  (35,20 euro) depending on how many people that shows interest for this and such.
IF we decide to create this during the event based upon how many that shows interest to it, the money will probably have to be payed before the event starts. But that is tings we can look into.

The ONLY thing I want to get from you now is interests checks.
So reply to this post IF you are interested to join in this kind of event during ESA.

Cheers

Can gladly write here telling that I'm going to work on my own routing of the game once I'm done with my first 100% completed playtrough.

Always feel free to drop by my stream now and then.
I'm not going to look at others routs at first instead do my thing since the game is so big and complex that you can make a run in so many diff ways. 

Looking forward to see your ideas of the game and I hope you will enjoy my take of it as well.

Stream is every day on pinkfluffyunicornTV
As Arthur would say, cherio!
