VCC Social Meet, Sept 19th 2008.

[Freshellent]

Little over a year ago you might have heard of a group of people here on PSOW and in-game on PSU calling themselves the "VCC".
It's meaning was cryptic and somewhat of a secret, all anyone that wasn't in had to go by was random videos, images and stories that spread all over the servers and forums.

That was then.

VCC is back again, this time bigger than ever and twice as strange. But, it's high time you folks got a formal greeting and a glimpse of what we "really" are. We're extending our hands in a formal greeting and inviting you to come have your questions answered about a group you've heard about ( Or not heard of, I'm sure) for so long.

So bring your friends, we're hosting a social meet after all. See your fellow players and get to meet new ones in the community. Enjoy yourselves!

VCC: The Meet and Greet Social.

When: September 19th 2008 (5:00 PM EST)
Where: Universe 11, Foran Waterfall. Located on beautiful Parum.
What should I bring? Yourselves and your friends if you like. Leave your negativity behind though.

Meet VCC as the players and posters they really are, find out how we started and maybe even get an idea of how we work. This prolly won't happen again anytime soon, so consider it your one chance at seeing something like never before.

Not familar with VCC's "work"? Here's some links to get you an idea.

Sadly, not everything that's ever gone down has been recorded, but it lives on in the memories of players and posters alike. Don't miss out folks, VCC has plenty of stories to tell and much more to make.

Keep in mind some users from VCC will be taking screenshots and filming the event, it's likely a video on Youtube will follow shortly after. ( And perhaps a highquality download.) Look sharp people!

[Syl]

Can't wait to see what kind of turn out we get ;o

[Freshellent]

Before I forget, we don't have a final time. Just a date, if anyone shows interest, submit times you'd like us to consider. Thanks ahead!

[ShinAnt]

Seeya folks there!

[Dragwind]

This should turn out to be a positive gathering for many players in the community to mingle. Be sure to bring some friends, sit back and relax from your daily hunts for a while, and meet some new people. Bring some jokes too.

[ThaiSoup]

Too bads I noes have account D:

[MaximusLight]

$#!!@

I'd better not be working when this happens or someone is gonna die!?!

[ShinAnt]

I have immortality tablets Max. So it ain't me.

[MaximusLight]

I have immortality tablets Max. So it ain't me.

Silly mortals and there immortality tablets. They always forget those were off...
Besides I'm truely an incorporal being so I can just send you to the void, where you can spend all eternity :wacko:

(also I ment someone at work will die, I'll keep you guys around a while, you amuse me :wacko: )

[beatrixkiddo]

You guys got a mod to use an oversized sig, for shame ;o

I'll be working during this (and every other community-based one) event so have fun ;o

It was a photobucket error, it should be fixed shortly. Apparently Photobucket increased the image size during upload is all.

[Kizeragi]

*checks the 19th*

I should be free, so I'll likely come along. Sounds like fun.

[Shadwitz]

Looking forward to meeting everyone~

[Para]

Should get Ryuki to photograph the event :wacko:

[CelestialBlade]

Aww, I'm always busy on Fridays, but I hope it goes well. I already know most of you crazy VCC folk anyway :P

[Rust]

*reads "social" in the event description*

Sounds interesting, I might drop by, as long as it isn't taking place at an insane time for my poor GMT+1 timezone. :wacko:

[Micro]

OMG CHELS ISN'T COMING? *screams in mad fit*

Anyways, looking forward to seeing some familiar and hopefully some new faces next week. ;o

[Rust]

Don't forget to bring Spectrum ! :wacko:

[Rayokarna]

*reads "social" in the event description*

It won't cause I'll be there too :P

It's looking like I most likely won't be there, but you never know. Me and my friends just always go out on Fridays.

I expect to see tons of screens of you dorks partying it up >:|

[Shadwitz]

There'll be smoothies for all!

[Freshellent]

If it gets to the point where a lot of people simply can't make it because of the day in time, we'll adjust accordingly.

It's not like a blackhole is gonna appear anytime soon and suck everything into oblivion, or something.

[Billy960]

I am looking forward to meeting everyone there

[Micro]

Don't forget to bring Spectrum ! :wacko:
Oh she'll be there. ;)

Ah, I see. :P

I'm sure there will be plenty of screens taken, maybe a video aswell after it's all said and done.

[Alastor_Haven]

*Burps*

[Cracka_J]

If it's later in the afternoon or night (central/eastern times), I should be able to persuade most of the slackers in our vent to go.
As long as there's shit to lol at, they're usually down.

[Ash1ey]

Looking forward to meeting people there too, it should be fun :-)

[Kylie]

I'd like to show up, and I'll likely be able to (I don't know--I always make my plans last minute). I might cancel my subscription by then though because I've been so freaking bored on PSU lately.

EDIT: Never mind. My subscription doesn't end until he 25th, so that's not an issue.

[Seority]

I just want to find out what you people are.
:nono:

[Eleina]

I'm sure some people (like myself) are not welcome though. xD

[ShinAnt]

Aw come on Kylie, well at least you'll be there. Ack, DAMN BLACK HOLE TOOK MY DOG. BRB CALLING GORDAN.

[Micro]

I'm sure some people (like myself) are not welcome though. xD

lol I don't mind if you come, just my opinion. ;o

[ShinAnt]

Well, Elenia the event is welcome for everyone. Come on down. have good time, leave Stephen Colbert in space.

[Shadwitz]

I'm sure some people (like myself) are not welcome though. xD

Last I checked, everyone was welcome.

[Billy960]

Should get Ryuki to photograph the event :wacko:

NO TY

[Eleina]

I'll refrain on coming despite the fact that everyone is welcome. (Mainly because of the tensions between some of the VCC members and myself. And you don't need drama invading your meetup really do ya? xD)

[Freshellent]

Eh, I wouldn't worry about it. Show up as you are, all shapes, sizes and what have you. There isn't a reason why you can't go Eleina. ( None that I see personally anyway)

[barnacleez]

Can't wait to learn more about what the VCC stands for and what it's done in the past. :D

[Kylie]

Can't wait to learn more about what the VCC stands for and what it's done in the past. :D
Well, I believe they're against earmark spending, abortions, and the death penalty. :whip: Just kidding (umm, I watch too much CNN). Anyway, what's with the "aw come on" Ant? D:

[AweOfShe]

Looking forward to meeting some new (and old) people that I never really talked to before.
http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z104/AweOfShe1/Sigs/hardgay.gif

[ShinAnt]

What's up with the CNN? eh. eh EH!? lol.

[Kylie]

What's up with the CNN? eh. eh EH!? lol.
I like politics. >_> and lol @ the male stripper. it's like someone knew what I was thinking, eh Ant?

[ShinAnt]

That be hard gay. He may make an appearance. He's a busy man as you can see.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Us2lBEb9z0k

[GreenArcher]

Should be fun! ^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^

[MaximusLight]

What's up with the CNN? eh. eh EH!? lol.

Canadian News Network >>
I'm a university student so I'm allowed to be a geek and a nerd :P

...

Wait...

KYLIE IS CANADIAN!?

[Kylie]

http://www.cnn.com/

:-P I have no idea what it stands for.

[MaximusLight]

http://www.cnn.com/

:-P I have no idea what it stands for.

I'm serious it is literally Canadian News Network.

Yeah I'm a geek...

but being a geek lets me do things with this stuff

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eCk0lYB_8c0

I REALLY want to see a Fr reaction :(

[ShinAnt]

SCIENCE!

[Billy960]

Hahaha awesome vid Max.

[MaximusLight]

Hahaha awesome vid Max.

Why thank you Billy *bows*

Got one that made me think of Dragwind too, but I is not posting here, it wouldn't be appropreate for the younger people :P

[Zer0_ConvoY]

Can't wait to learn more about what the VCC stands for and what it's done in the past. :D

[gundam0079]

[Dragwind]

I'm not sure why that would be, but some people tend to afk a lot, then just sign off. I've only had one mail from you recently, and I responded.

[ashley50]

i expect loli's :3...
newmans and caseals...

[Seority]

...and beasts.

[ShinAnt]

And the swiss..

[Kylie]

:nono: I draw the line at Swiss.

What kind of entertainment will we have at this shindig? :wacko:

[Micro]

What kind of entertainment will we have at this shindig? :wacko:

Tis a surprise. ;o

[Rust]

Molestations... ~(0v0)~

[Loboo]

If I show up naked and I get a surprise chat from Chris Hansen again... I'll hunt you down VCC!!!! (I'll bring my big fat greasy beast for you rai rai ;3)

[MaximusLight]

This just in I work that friday 2:30 to 9:15 PM mountain time and I need like and hour+ of travel time put in there too...

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[gundam0079]

I'm not sure why that would be, but some people tend to afk a lot, then just sign off. I've only had one mail from you recently, and I responded.

yah i kno u repsond drag. ill probably go anyway. ::D

[Scline]

You guys better take a lot of screen shots to make up for my PS2ness not being there.

I expect some lulzworthy stories of the event when I get back. =x

[ashley50]

loli's? Someone said loli's?
*places shato under a box* ;3 *hides behind the bushes*
i won't bite :3...maybe ;3

[Ezodagrom]

I'll try to come to this and stay at least for a bit...depending on the time ^^; (if it starts somewhere between 11pm and 2am GMT+0).

[Rust]

loli's? Someone said loli's?

Don't walk in my hunting grounds. :E

[Kylie]

I guess I'll put my two cents in on a time. I'd like it be nice to our overseas buddies in Europe, but I think the ideal time seems like 7 PM EST (6 my time); although, I'll likely be able to show up at any time as long as it isn't too late since my ISP likes me to sleep with the chickens.

[ShinAnt]

So a later time perhaps for you easties and our homies overseas?

[Kylie]

I'm central. :) But if you wanted to accommodate our friends in the UK and other magical places, I would suggest 5 PM EST, but that might be earlier than you guys wanted.

[Freshellent]

Hmm, times sound fine to me. I kinda put that whole day aside for it, so I'll be fine.

Need to get some new music to kill time though.

[Dragwind]

I'm fine with that time as well, I should have the whole day off. A few more opinions on the time would be nice though.

[ShinAnt]

Yeah. Made sure to have the day off and what not. AND ITS PAYDAY! I might be saucy for this event >.>

[MaximusLight]

If you guys will be available the whole day does that mean I can bug you all at an earlier time for kicks (and cause I work then X_x )

[Seority]

Wonder why this isn't stickied?
Oh yeah. Because there's no "cute" girls saying "Pwwwwws? :3"
:nono: Silly admins...

[Ezodagrom]

EST is GMT-5, right? ^^;
I always get confused with the time zones. D:

[Micro]

EST is GMT-5, right? ^^;
I always get confused with the time zones. D:

Sure is.
I get confused with time zones myself. XD

[Freshellent]

Seems like people are liking the projected time so far, I'll give it another day before I update and make it final.

I don't think I'll be drinking during the event on my end though, I think anyone that saw me in v.1 outside of HIVEs when they first came should recall what happened then.

[ashley50]

Don't walk in my hunting grounds. :E
i was here first >:E
*pops open a can of loli*

[ForteGunnerW]

Too bads I noes have account D:

Nice sig pic lol hworrang

I wasn't there but a red light in my mind isn't going off and saying "do not approach"

[Kylie]

Wait. Which time did you agree with? 5 or 7 EST?

[Freshellent]

... Whatever one you guys want. It could be at midnight for me for all I care. Pick a time peeps, it's not really up to me.

[Kylie]

Maybe you could add it to the calender (http://www.pso-world.com/forums/calendar.php) once you decide on a time. As for my opinion, I stand by what I said. 7 PM is more attractive and accommodating for people that work "normal" hours, but 5 PM would be more accommodating for international people.

[Ezodagrom]

For me, 7PM EST would be fine (which is midnight GMT+0), but maybe for countrys that use GMT+1 would be a bit too late?
Maybe... around 6PM EST, or 6:30PM EST ^^;?

[CelestialBlade]

I could *probably* pop my head in at around 5-6pm (EST) on Friday, if I get my PC back up and running again by then, since me and my friends usually go out in the evenings because I have class until bloody 5pm.

[Billy960]

I think 5pm EST is a good time. Most everyone should be out of class by that time and people who live in Europe should be able to make it too. Granted I am probably going to be hanging out there all day lol.

[VanHalen]

I hope your event turns out great. Take pictures for me D:

[Rust]

i was here first >:E
*pops open a can of loli*

I can't verify that, so let's call it a draw.
Still I can stuff quite a lot of 'em in my belly. :wacko:

[Rayokarna]

Alright, for the european players, mos of us will be around durin those times because since Im one of them, Im forcing em :3. Don't worry they will be there for our Euro friends.

[Dragwind]

I'm guessing 5pm EST would be a good starting time. People will be having conversations for a while I'd assume, so coming later on wouldn't hurt.

[unicorn]

Looks interesting! :O I would go if I wasn't so disliked around these boards.

I hope it turns out successful! I'll be sure to check out the video. =3

[Arika]

My vote for time is still the same as what I wrote on VCC forum.

[ashley50]

Pick a time peeps ;l...

[Syl]

Whatever works for me (if I'm not flying out that is lol).

[Kizeragi]

5pm or 7pm EST is fine by me. It's a weekend day, meaning I'm always up late.

[Shadwitz]

5pm EST would work fine with me.

[Para]

I say 5pm.

[ShinAnt]

Seems to look like everyone is on the same page for a time.
5pm EST. Eh?

[Arryn]

anything b4 midnight gmt i gotta be up on the weekend
zomfgwtf that so wrong who gets up on a weekend o.o

[Kylie]

5 PM EST sounds good.

(I think that's 10 PM your time, Arryn)

[Syl]

Ok nevermind, I'm not flying out until the 25th to Florida, so I'm gonna be there all day. 5 PM EST really does seem like it's going to be the set time

*tries to edit OP* o rite, not admin here ololo

[Alastor_Haven]

Raiden will be giving out free

Candy

Lots and lots of candy

[ShinAnt]

LOL. I'll bring the van.

[Syl]

Rain will be there to get his 130th offense before Rai gives out all the candy :<

[Freshellent]

Updated, and also...

I highly reccomend wearing something on your character that won't make you facepalm later. Don't know why that popped into my head, just felt compelled to say something. Nothing sucks more than looking back on old vids and pics and going " OWTF I WORE THAT CRAP? "

That goes for saying stuff too, you never know what might come up.

Other than that, GET HYPE PEOPLE! It's gonna be a lot of fun, I'm excited already.

[MaximusLight]

Can someone blow up the safeways I work at so I can go with everyone else? PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE
I'll bring cookies!

[Arika]

Not sure how could the event goes for that long period.
but that is good, because I can't come at 5 pm,.
probably will come around 8 pm.

[Googlebonker]

Updated, and also...

lol It's called possibly being filmed and photographed for public viewing and public relations. XD

Friday @ 5:00 PM EDT* in Uni11 Foran Waterfall Lobby? I'll probably be there! Do I want to go using Googlebonker or Rhonda? Probably Rhonda!

*EST means Eastern Standard Time. EDT means Eastern Daylight Time. Most of the US is using Daylight Saving Time at the moment.

[Cracka_J]

I'll be there a bit later if it's at 5 est. I don't usually get home from work on fridays until about 5pm central.

I dunno which char I'll be on, unless there's another demand for Favors like there was at the summer social ;)

[Kylie]

l*EST means Eastern Standard Time. EDT means Eastern Daylight Time. Most of the US is using Daylight Saving Time at the moment.
Oh, come on. Do they say "Eastern DAYLIGHT SAVING'S TIME / Central DAYLIGHT SAVING'S TIME" when they tell people what time a show is going to come on on TV? No, because most people know what they're talking about, and it'd be redundant. :-P

I'll probably bring Kylie. No one knows who I am on my other characters except people I hang out with a lot, and I'm going to this thing to meet people, not hang out with people I already know. & @ Ein: Please, I always look my best. *vainashell* ;-)

[DreXxiN]

I'll bring Rock Band 2

[CelestialBlade]

I'll bring Rock Band 2
I call vocals!

[Rust]

I'll ransack the buffet while everyone's playing.

[Alastor_Haven]

I'll uh

be hiding somewhere

heheheheheh

[Para]

Someone bring Smash plz.

[Arryn]

5 PM EST sounds good.

(I think that's 10 PM your time, Arryn)

if it is all is good ^^

[Syl]

I call vocals!

Can only imagine you doing a song from something like DevilDriver <_<;

[Freshellent]

Can only imagine you doing a song from something like DevilDriver <_<;

That'd be pretty fresh.

http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=X1VZVcLXrhk

[Syl]

They have Clouds Over California as a DLC song, it's pretty cool and the only song I could sing without worrying about sounding awful... >_>


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UUK6Qh9tFrQ

[Micro]

DevilDriver, HEL YEH!

[Alastor_Haven]

Micro will bring lots of Ponies for everyone to ride in

Dun know why hes doing it

[Arika]

Someone bring Smash plz.
what about you? http://www.pso-world.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=434&pictureid=3534 *very innocent eyes*

[Freshellent]

Clouds is a meh song. I mean I like it but compared to the other tracks on that album it's like, meh.

[DreXxiN]

Devildriver is fucking awesome.

If Chelsea does vocals, she has to do Blinded by Fear.

Anyway, I guess I'll drop by, we'll see whatsup ^^

[Nitro Vordex]

Am I seeing kareoke in this thread? ;o

I wish I could join, don't have PSU right now though. ;-;

[Bomber The Cosmonaut]

Count me in. :o
I'm off after 12(PM) and seeing some faces that I see here alot doesn't sound too bad at all.

[Kizeragi]

I'll bring Rock Band 2

LET ME PLAY! D: It'll be 2012 before EU gets it. n_n

I think I'll be wearing the set I had on at MAG2 (Reo)

Also, DevilDriver is alright I guess. But I'll stick to my Dream Theater thanks. ^^;

[Neith]

I may turn up to this, depending on who's online in my partner card list. The way PSU's been lately, this might be a change from the usual :lol:

Also, Clouds Over California is amazing to 'sing' on Rock Band. Aesthetics of Hate too >_> I'm a sucker for the screaming songs, heh- even though I primarily play bass *gasp*

Anyway, if I don't turn up, assume someone else was online to play with :wacko:

[Alastor_Haven]

Hyped up

xD

[Para]

what about you? http://www.pso-world.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=434&pictureid=3534 *very innocent eyes*

huh? o_o what about me?

[Aisha379]

Cannot come due to working tonight, between about 4 PM and 9 PM.

Shame because I wanted to meet some people from here and get their cards (out of all the cards I have, only like, two people are ever online anymore...>_>)

[Skids]

I'll be making it around 5pm but proably to leave a little before 7pm for prior engagements. Plus I'll proably take a few screenshots.

[Ezodagrom]

Hmm...I'll probably only be able to come around 6PM ^^;
Have classes until 5:30PM (10:30PM GMT+0) and after classes still have to dinner :x

[Zorafim]

http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b77/Zorafin/PSU%20junk/psu20080919_150211_000.jpg

Well, hell. Bad timing. Well, I was planning my day around this, but I can't bring myself to pay for a month of gameplay when I'm only going to be on one day.

God speed, I'll be watching from the ocean waves.

[Alastor_Haven]

Poor Levi :(

[AweOfShe]

I don't think I'll be able to make it in time. I'm still at school at the moment, but for now, I'll be there in..... not in spirit, but in the form of Raptor Jesus:
http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z104/AweOfShe1/raptorjesus.gif

EDIT: I may just be a couple of hours late, if anything. :P

[Freshellent]

Well, lot more people than I expected came out. Thanks folks! Hope you had fun, we look forward to seeing you in the future.

[Alastor_Haven]

Thx for coming everyone :o

[Syl]

Good to see lots of people gathered in area that isn't White Beast. Thanks for everyone coming out ;o

[Dragwind]

Wow, a lot more people came than we expected. The first hour was causing slow down on many of our PC's, it was pretty neat to see (had option on for loading 50+ models). Some people even remained to chat for 3+ hours, and got some new cards as well.

Thanks for the good times everyone :)

[Kizeragi]

It was good, a nice enjoyable time I've had on PSU for a long while.
Particularly liked the part where you all went Red, and started spaming "Red / VCC". XD

[pizzagirl]

Very fun. Probably the longest I've stayed online for a few weeks. (And enjoyed it..) Thanks guys. ^^

[Ash1ey]

Yes, it was an enjoyable time indeed, even though I had to leave a bit early, thanks for showing up everyone :)

[Para]

I mostly idled for yard work ;| I'll look at chat logs later to see what happened lol

[Ezodagrom]

It was nice, wish I could have come earlier though ^^;

[Aisha379]

daaaaaym. I missed it by only like half an hour </3

[Neith]

Sorry I couldn't make it- turned out I was helping a friend level his job up a bit instead. By the time we finished, this was over :lol:

[Syl]

It was good, a nice enjoyable time I've had on PSU for a long while.

THAT WAS MY IDEA ¦3 /gloat

I really liked how this turned out. Who knows, maybe in the future we'll hold something like this again~

[Kylie]

VCC sure knows how to throw a party. Unfortunately, I was in a weird mood, so I wasn't as sociable as I was planning to be. It was still pretty pleasant though.

[AweOfShe]

I ended up missing our own gathering. >.<

[ShinAnt]

Yes good fun People. Late by an half an hour. Damn chick at Jamba Juice. Damn her and her flirting!

[MaximusLight]

Is anyone still on?
;;_;;

[KunoTatewaki]

Well this sucks, I missed this >_>

[Freshellent]

Stay tuned folks! There's still a video that needs to be cut and edited, and some more screenshots. But also, there's a chance a VCC hosted Event will happen in the future. No details yet, but keep your eyes peeled!

[CelestialBlade]

Still hate that I had to miss it, but it sounds like you guys had an awesome time :3 Congrats to all who made it possible, looked like you had quite a turnout.

[DreXxiN]

Besides the whole "This is what we do, we are awesome we play all these games and stuff, BUT YOU CANT FUCKING JOIN! Everybody have fun chilling in this lobby!" Element, I enjoyed it and it was an interesting social :)

[barnacleez]

Besides the whole "This is what we do, we are awesome we play all these games and stuff, BUT YOU CANT FUCKING JOIN! Everybody have fun chilling in this lobby!" Element, I enjoyed it and it was an interesting social :)

Recruiting isn't one of the processes involved in a "Meet and Greet", to the best of my knowledge... It was just a fun way for us to introduce ourselves in more detail to a big chunk of the population. Not to mention, grinding missions over and over can be a little taxing, so sitting around and chitchatting for hours was a nice change. I had fun yesterday, no doubt about it :D.



Oh, also:
http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a318/barnacleeezz/Jailtime_Barney-1.jpg
The Barnacleez has been kidnapped by ninjas.
Are you a bad enough dude to rescue him?
