Title: The catch-up organisation thread
Post by: Joseph41 on June 30, 2017, 02:25:10 pm
Hey hey, friends!

So, as you may or may not know, I like coffee. And I like ATAR Notes.

Would anybody be keen to catch up in the next few weeks for a coffee (or beverage of your choice)? We can talk about school/uni, about AN, about general life - whatever you want! And if you haven't yet seen the CBD TuteSmart Centre, we can hang out there - I'll show you around. :)

Any interest?

We'll have VCE lectures this coming week, and then we have the HSC lectures - but perhaps the week after that (starting July 17th)? I know it's a little while away, but getting in early to see where people are at. ;D

Can I spend the week in the cafe and meet everyone too it's not fair that you get to chat to everyone :(

But nah, definitely down for this, as long as I don't have to drink any beverage apart from water.

I'll force-feed you dihydrogen monoxide. :P

Happy to provide an autograph from Brenden to all attendees. He doesn't know it yet, but that's okay.

Wow, I really don't understand why you didn't pursue a degree in design. It's clearly your speciality 8)

I reckon mandatory mochas/no black coffee allowed unless it's instant. Just get rid of all the coffee snobs in one fell swoop. 8)

Good thing I'll be ordering a triple-pump 36.24°C pumpkin spice frothed latte with only 2% fat and A1 proteins. I like to keep it simple.

Is this with low fat, no fat, full cream, high calcium, high protein, soy, light, skim, omega 3, high calcium with vitamin D and folate, or extra dollop milk?

In 2015, a crack-banter unit was  sent to banland by an admin court for a joke they didn't make. These people promptly escaped the maximum-security prison to the ATAR Notes underground. Today, still wanted by the admins, they survive as Mods of Mad Bantz.

Correct, I charge $0.20 an hour! However, I forgot to account that everyone here gets mates' rates, so you get a 100% discount ;)

The federal government, on the other hand, has been racking up quiet a tab the past 19 years. So 168,578 hours later, they owe me $33,716. Haven't paid up yet...

Nah, it's funnier if you let people try to get up to level 6 by themselves first, because they end up back on the ground floor and have to awkwardly message someone to come get them. It's an experience we all have to have at some stage :D

Definitely need to play Articulate at some stage.

I agree on Heidi -- on a day when the centre isn't open, definitely need to just play some board/card games. Uno, CAH, Risk, Monopoly, Jenga, whatever people bring.

I've officially won the last ten games of Monopoly I've played, so I'm confident that my gameplay would beat Brenden's ;) (nah I'm almost certain that me stating that would be sure to make me lose)

Articulate! And Taboo! And Bananagrams! And Jenga! And Monopoly! And Cluedo! And Hearts! And Emperor-Scum (aka natmod-statemod ;))! And Boggle! And Scrabble! And not chess!

Bananagrams gets so heated in my family, I love it.
My cousin also made a life-sized version to play at family gatherings - last time we played, I pulled my hammy trying to beat my brother to the last tile 😂

These games sound great, but I worry that we'll destroy some of the great friendships that have been forged on AN :P

These games sound great, but I worry that we'll destroy some of the great friendships that have been forged on AN :P

Friendships are made to be broken!

wait, or am I thinking of pinatas?

I really want to introduce you guys to Jungle Speed, but I don't actually have the game with me, and not sure if I'll be able to source it by Friday. Maybe another day.

I'm around all holidays - not sure if I can get into the city except for the dates specified, but weekdays would be better than weekends (family tends to want to go out together on weekends, and public transport is better on weekdays too). Not sure about anyone else?
