Damnit that was supposed to be a secret
 

Let's keep this topic alive shall we
(Unlike my teammate)

Seen as how this is getting a bit out of hand I propose we have a series of 12 votes over the next 12 months, that way we can vote on:

1. Should we have a vote? (this will be repeatedly indefinitely until we get a unanimous yes)
2. How many votes should people be allowed?
Then we can:
3. Vote for a country.
4. Vote on whether we'll visit a town or city.
5. Vote for what town/city within the country we've voted for.
6. Vote on where we'll stay within said town/city.
7. Vote on if we're really sure we want to go to this town/city. (back to step 3 if not)
8. Vote on whether everybody is happy with this process so far.
9. Vote on a budget.
10. Vote on the itinerary.
11. Vote on if we are happy with everything thus far. (back to step 1 if not)
12. Vote to end the voting process or start again.

Hopefully, this will only take us til January 2019. But if it doesn't and it does take 3-4 years we can rest assured that because democracy never fails everybody will have what they want and thus, be happy with the end result.

So in that scenario, you would vote Edinburgh only; and you would show up as "yeah, I'll be happy to come, but in Edinburgh, not somewhere else". It would also have me able to pick three or four cities (Edinburgh def. among them) that would be fun. But it's not technically easy to do so no point in arguing after it.
As for the second bit:
Because history has shown that the number of voters is a LOT higher than the number of people who actually go. Having people who are unlikely to actually go vote just makes it harder for the organizers to find which city is most popular.

well if u guys come to brussels i can check what kind of exposition there might be open to go look, i know the city and its surroundings and its only a 1h drive for me.
Know some good places around aswell to go eating, aswell as mini europa is there and a great movie theater.

And please.... only vote if you are really attending!!!

You can only vote for one? Would be smart to let us vote for every city we'd be willing to go to. That way you quickly get a shortlist most people will be OK with and you can just pick either the most popular or the most convenient from that shortlist.
It would also prevent non-attending members from picking a UK location and then not showing up. I'm not suggesting people might be doing that, but they are.

I'm not sure Jersey (nor the Isle of Man) qualify in terms of survivability for non-Brits who are used to having less rain than that in their summers. I've seen stuff filmed on the Isle of Man. It's a wonder the houses don't get infested by fish. Is Jersey the same sort of deal? And will it be affordable for the continentals?
Copenhagen is lovely but it isn't that cheap, alcohol really is just NOT cheap and the link to Sweden... Well, Malmö and Halmstad right below it are very nice and have some very excellent facilities for the upmarket dining enthousiast, but to be honest they are VERY expensive places to go for a boozer, and you have to realize you're so far up north that summer is defined as three weeks in July which means we're either going to be cold or it's going to be stuffed to the brim with Swedes on vacation.
I wouldn't mind going to Halmstad with the more well-off people, but last year in Berlin some of us were needing to keep an eye on their bank roll and Sweden, gorgeous as it is, is going to be easily twice if not four times the price for an evening out. I don't think we can do that with this group, it needs to remain affordable for all. It's not too good an idea to come home and say "well honey I had fun, but the money is gone so we're not going on any more vacations this year".
Budapest appears to suffer somewhat from the same problem on flights, not sure about staying there. It seems reasonable (not that I dug very deeply).
Prague seems fine, Czechs aren't known for being the nicest people on the planet though.
Brussels isn't going to be as cheap as Berlin but it shouldn't break the bank.
I still like Croatia as that too will be affordable, and it has been thumbed up by a few others in here too. That also offers the joys of being on the Med's coast. I can see some avenues for trips and boat rides to Italy for those of an adventurous nature.
Truro I think we can all agree is going to be where we test the XI nuclear tactical missile. Twice.

Hopefully @B-Murda will be @GeForce roomie again. They made a good pair.

Oh by the way one eye guy, it's the XI EUROPE meet-up. So we have it in Europe. You're welcome to come, but it ain't gonna be in Atlanta (which, apart from everything else, is a mosquito infested toaster oven of a hellscape six months out of the year and thus not ideal for meet-ups even on it's own continent, I must hasten to add.)
 

They're not all cheap, I thought Edd was mental so I looked up Stuttgart - Bratislava, and I have to say, holy fucking sheepshaggers. Four digit airfare is not on my budget, I just bought a car.
Now, it is possible that july is the wrong time to book flights for. So let's grab some dates, make a list of the big cities, and draw up who can go when and what cities are OK with them, taking only serious suggestions (i.e. reachable by air and can get around with short rides on public transport, not the Ardennes where everything is a million hours away from civilization and once you get in the middle of nowhere you have to bring your own car, or Truro, which as far as I can work out would be cheaper to move it to us, rather than the other way round).
We picked July before because it's just before the big school vacations (lower prices for travel and hotel) and the weahter tends to be many nice.
Shall we begin by picking which weekends in June/July/August would be doable for everyone?
 

My main concern this year is going to be budget and date. Which city is less worrying provided we get a lot of others coming.
I liked Prague two decades ago, maybe it's still fun today. Brussels is OK too, good food certainly.
We do want something to do other than pubs - Not everyone is content to roll into a pub at 11 AM; some walkies, bus tours or balloon rides are deffo welcome. Prague and Brussels should be fine in that regard, as would I'm sure Budapest and Riga. Truro... not so much. Nor for that matter a few of the other tiny little shitholes towns mentioned. Let's do try and keep it to a place with like, an airport, a train station and a lot of choice in things to do.

I don’t like pre-buying games with early access; by the it’s done you’re bored with it and playing something else. 
But it looks promising. 

I'm not sure switching servers midway is a great idea. There's going to be enouhg people faffing about being confused and in the wrong team without adding a midway server hop to the mix. I think we can agree to play on whatever server is available
And of course, we're all sufficiently skilled that really, the extra lag isn't going to make a blind bit of difference. It's just one more excuse for why we missed, shot the wrong guy, let our mines go off too late, flew the helicopter upside down into an enclosed space, landed the tank on it's side, rolled the IFV down a slope into the river, ran over Jay with the anti-air or detonated that C4-laden kamikaze-quadbike with a teammate still on it, confused as to why his driver got off suddenly in the middle of an open field near an enemy tank.

I'm game. I barely play anything at the moment, I can make some time.
Last week of November is Thanksgiving in the US, might enable us to do a US vs EU game, or otherwise we can just put up a few infantry-only rounds up where the winner is the one wit the most head-shot kills or somehting.

I remember one of these well organized entirely relaxing events... I would deffo be inclined to participate if we have another complete fucking chaos disguised as a EU vs US match or something similar
 

Funniest thing? There are people that believe shit because some website wrote it. Their motto: I want to believe.

Yeah that site is just clickbait....

really by now we should know better than to believe the crap that actually looks like crap on the internet.
