Assalam o Alikum!

It has been long since a meetup was held in this region. I cant even remember when the last meetup was held. So I guess its about time we had another meetup. And there's no better time to meetup than the first month of the year i.e January. Personally I've never been to a meetup before so I guess it will be quite an experience for me. Looking forward to meet you all.

Venue: To be decided
Timing: To be decided

I am all for a PG meetup since it has been a long time coming. However, I don't live in Rawalpindi anymore.

Looking forward to seeing it happen though.

In my experience, the biggest problem with meetup's is if 30 people confirm to show up, 12 actually end up being there..

Now the problem this causes is that when you've booked the whole place or even part of some place and less than half the people show up, the owners of the place get a bit pissed off. Their expected revenue is instantly halved.

Hate to say it, but the newer batch of PG'ers isn't the same as the old lot. I think the last meetup was the biggest disappointment, some 18 months ago when the usual only 8-9 of us who are always there showed up after a handful of new people confirmed they would too.

Anyway. Good luck with the meetup. Godspeed!
I hope this paves the way for a Lahore meetup too, even though I know it's still gonna be the usual lot.

Yeah that might be a problem but how about we book the place on the day when people show up and pay right on spot? Hmmmm?

Then you're not quite booking the place, you're trying your luck that there will be enough places available. :)

There should be some strict rules ... if you once agreed you have to show up or there should be strict actions against them

I had a lot of fun organizing PG meet-ups a couple years ago but I am not in Rawalpindi anymore, so won't be able to make it. But best of luck organizing a meet-up regardless!

There is no point of PG meetups anymore hardly 10 people show up. [MENTION=25983]AbbY[/MENTION] is right its a loss for the place. Those were the good times when 30+ people used to show up at meetups. Only way to guarantee someone's presence is to take the money in advance then everyone will come :p

Yes... We should take the money in advance through easypaisa or bank transfer. That would assure us 100% presence.

    So while Playing Control, I found a journal which said that a bathroom is missing in Islamabad Beurue of Control. With Alan Wake and Control seems to be connected worlds. Even our city is in the universe as well. No wonder those Trail 5 and Trail 6 are haunted.
    did you know you can see @NaNoW credited in the game too ? :p

    What is peoples obsession with Battle Royale genre. 6 minutes to find a match, 3 minutes to setup a match, 2 minutes to land, 10 minutes for scavanging maybe 2 3 gunfigts and its over. Multiplayer landscape is looking absolute dogshit.
    I tried playing Apex Legends once. Couldn't find a gun for 5 minutes straight. If I found a gun, I couldn't find the right ammo for it. Got killed fighting with my fists. Uninstalled it the next day.

    I usually stay away from animes. Vinland saga changed the way i look at my life, and my experiences within. I recommend every breathing human being to watch this animated masterpiece at least once fromstart to finish.
    After I watched it, I never felt like i watched a show. It was a friggin journey. I got way too attached to Thorfinn and seeing him grow up and find himself and get rid of all the negativity inside of him was just pure bliss.

    With how great cod warzone has translated onto mobile. Mainstream Consoles have lost its value even further. Maybe console gaming was associated with TVs and how TV is not the primary source of media consumption anymore, consoles will lose its 200 million core audiences even further.
