It's a great idea but I don't think I live on the right side of the ocean for this
Hope others get a chance to meet up.

It's sorta obvious. Same reason why really it's not a good idea to meet up with people over chat rooms. BAsically if the groups are more than pairs then fine.
Could I use this to get people to come to one of my gigs too... then meet them after?

not to me, but some of the people on here aren't very old at all. I'm fine, but I worry for other people

I see, but this public thread will tell you with whom are you going and also everyone will know it. For security reasons then I recommend to do all communication regarding the possible meeting here on forum.

Oh yes I get that. but you don't know who you are meeting in truth.
Overall yes I like hte idea, but I have to get the doubt I have with it out there, being wary is always better than being sorry.
Still I want to know if I could use this to advertise my gigs?

Slightly different then RL. When you meet someone in real life you can see pretty much from the off who they are, at least I can, I am very cautious around new people, but this is organised meetings, you know you are meeting someone before you do actually meet them.
Gigs. Shows. Basically I could get people to come see my band, and then talk to them after

I think that'd do it AudatiousTitan (Your name is a pain to type out). I think that'd be the best way of going about it indeed. That would settle the uneasiness I feel for others.

Yes, but thats the rules on many chat sites that you see people going missing on on the news!!!
It doesnt mean they will folow it!!!!
And i no a lot of 12-15 year olds play this.. very encouragable age!!!
Tho i doubt theres any pedos or anything that will use BW to find people.. they will use proper chat sites!!!

well if your worried about it then follow scillages rules and meet up in town on a saterday, where theres lots of people [not in a random field in the middle of nowhere], maybe that was scillages 4th rule that he forgot?

Raxis - I understand your concern; but as Mortis & Scill says, if players feel pressured or unsure of whether they should meet other people & then go ahead & do it, then it is their own look out.
As well as arrangements being done via board, I think it would also be advisable if when arranging meetings that they find out a little bit about the player they are meeting. I mean - I'm an adult; & no offense to the younger players - but I probably wouldn't wanna meet up. However, I might consider it if I knew the player was of similar age & interests - so at least we could have a beer & a chat.
Anyway; I think it's a good section for the boards - well done Scill.

A great idea, NB if out for an alcoholic beverage must be 18years old or more.
Also all weapons must be left at home, no ambushes etc

granted it is a very good idea but i dont understand why the 30+ players should have a problem meeting with say an 18-20 year old
any younger and i can understand

30+ u lot of golden oldies

Sounds a good idea i looked into meeting with some of my clan mates but logistically was a nigthmare lol!
I live in Manchester but im at university in Cardiff so i can do any place near either of those! It sure would be interesting to meet real people off here!
It would be cool to meet the top players just because on here they rule supreme and we all fear them lol so would be good to meet them in real life and find out they were nice people!
Could make for some hilarious chats after!!

so I'm 33 and my son used to play but has quit and deleted, he is 12, if i found out he was meeting someone off the web i would hit the roof, he would need a hearing aid i would blow his ears clean off his head, so ok you make a meet for 4, 1 gets delayed at work, 1 forgets/bottles out, and my 12 year old is left with a freak with suicidal tendencies, ERM HELLO, this website should in no way condone this, if someone gets hurt you leave yourself open to all sorts of legal ramifications.

To be honest I don't think that's too good an idea either, unless they're going with someone they already know and have met in RL. Even then I would be hesitant letting my younger siblings to the same thing..

I think 18+ is fine

18+ is fine but what i think Faceater is gettin at is the fact that any1 can say how old they are on here. So basically his son could say he is 18+ even though he's 12 and end up in trouble! there's no way of knowing really. Its up to the people involved to be very sensible and know who u are meeting up with before meeting in person!
I would like to meet people but i understand that its not always that easy!

just thought of a flaw in what scillage said. maybe a peado would use a game site. as kids use games and there is a chat facility with pm available. maybe you should put in your initial post that it would only be recommended for those 18 plus and/or with good common sense. in a big group i totally agree with. just make sure you know who you are looking for when you arrange to meet too. could be embarrassing asking a complete stranger if they play. lol just thinking of safety

Well when said dont meet alone... |

Im 21 and i wouldnt bother but for people younger "dont meet alone" to me means take a friend/responsible adult not go alone and meet other people.
