So, How Come You're Not Going to the Escapist Expo?

[ResonanceSD]

It's in the US.

This website claimed to be too poor to send Yahtzee to a convention recently yet somehow they're hosting their own expo?

Be mindful that the circumstances are very different, both in context and in time.

Certainly, as I'm still in the pub club for a while I don't notice this, but are there still adverts in the captchas? "describe apple in a word" etc?

That's not a relevant question to this thread's topic, but I'll certainly inquire about the matter.

Well not any more, but my reply to the topic was originally "they were crying poor". Following 'Yahtzeegate', incidences of adverts being reported in forums here rose a hell of a lot. Now that these cashflow problems have apparently been resolved, have they been scaled back? It's not that important, I'm just pondering aloud here.

That information is private.

We're a very, very small company that does our best to provide a great quality product free of charge. That's all I can say.

Again, I'll look into your captcha query.

Well first of all, I have school then.

Second, my wallet will not be pleased if I hopped on a plane. And I don't really like swimming so... Too bad :'(

 

[Terratina.]

I am student. I live across a vast ocean. I have college then.

 

[Sean Hollyman]

Well I kind of live in Wales, so..


(I would like a Gravity Rush tshirt please Jim is sexy)

 

[GodofDisaster]

Because it's to far away and I can't afford it, although I would like to go but it ain't happening with my current money situation. I plan to go to an Escapist style convention some day though.

 

[Padwolf]

I would love to go, but sadly I just can't afford it and I live all the way in England.

 

[DarkhoIlow]

It's in the US and I'm in Europe(Romania).

Financing is also an issue,although I'm getting some cash from Diablo 3 RMAH.

 

[Corven]

I'll buck the trend and say I could afford it but the scheduling lands the expo right in the middle of my last semester in college and I can't afford to miss even a day of those classes.

 

[Longstreet]

The Escapist is all good and well, but I ain't traveling to the US for an Expo

oh, and school.
First time i have used that as an excuse.....


On a different note, yay, 10th post. That's a mile post of sorts I guess...

 

[gazumped]

Soooo.... who wants to start up an unofficial Escapist Expo here in the UK?

I would kind of like to go, but see most of the posts above for my reasons not to.

 

[Soviet Heavy]

Big surprise, quite a few of us are from other countries.

 

[Goofguy]

Well I can afford to go and it wouldn't be hard for me to get there. However, I am attending a wedding that weekend. That's right, I have nothing else scheduled for the fall except for one wedding that is happening on the same weekend as the Expo... go figure.

 

[LordFish]

if it were a UK Expo, I'd be there like a flash.

 

[DustyDrB]

If I go, it will be a last minute thing. I'm really buckling down on career-related things now after mucking around too much the last few years, so I don't like crossing out days that I could be using for school/work/testing/shadowing/networking/volunteering.

 

[Bertylicious]

Eh, it'd only be a grand or so to head out and it'd be a great adventure, but I just don't know anyone well enough to go. I've only been here a few months.

 

[game-lover]

Basically same reason as you, OP.

I cannot afford to get there or back. I have no way to get there or back really. Just that simple.

 

[fireaura08]

School, and of course no money. :c
