Title: Icho & Simon visit Proxima in Münster, April 2018
Post by: Simon on April 12, 2018, 09:26:36 PM

Hi,

Proxima was visiting his sister in Münster, Germany, for a week. That's a 3-hour drive from Göttingen, but who cares, nice road trip with Icho!

From left to right: Proxima, IchoTolot, Simon.

I gave Proxima the American Family Feud card game. What would annoy Santa when he visits your house? Top answer: No cookies! Icho guessed naughty children, but children weren't on the card at all; mean dog would have given points.

Proxima showed us how to backroute some DROD maps. These backroutes are similarly smart and annoying to the level designer as Lemmings backroutes would be, but you can't fix DROD backroutes once the pack is declared final and got an online highscore board.

Proxima built this Lix multiplayer level. This is the 2-player version, but there are versions for 2 through 8 players. Do you go downwards or upwards to your exit? Standard strategic principles suggest to go downward, but there are splat falls, fire, and limited digging skills.

-- Simon

I still wish my pictures would have turned out better -- the only one that wasn't totally crappy I look kinda grimm/unemotional ;P    I am still bad at taking pictures with my smarthphone! :XD:

Anyway this was a nice meetup and we even found the NL teleporter bugs I recently posted here in the process!

Those are three handsome gentlemen right there. :lix-smile:

Now I don't understand why more women do not visit this forums... :-\ ;P

It looks like you all had a fun time. Proxima looks a lot different than he did in his Skype picture, so I didn't recognize him at first.

Also, I love the hoodie Icho! :thumbsup:

Sounds like you guys had a fun time. I kinda wish I could meet some of the forumgoers in person, but most of them seem to be in the east coast US or in Europe, and I'm over on the west coast of the US.
Come to think of it, am I the only forumgoer on the west coast? :lix-unsure:

Gigalem lives on the west side also I believe.

Nice to see a meet up happen. Hopefully I can get involved in the next one

Oh well, when I met Simon I actually forgot to suggest taking a picture. :P

Looks fun! :)
