Do you actually meet other Tempers?

So, after reading a thread regarding the dispute of moozxy's gender from shadowxp, I started to think.

I'm an Indonesian, so the chance to meet up with other Temper is ~0%, except one of the is an Indonesian (which is, just fuckin' rare, in fact, I think I'm the only active Indonesian here, any other Indonesian temper I've identified by name {like, you know somebody named Yamato is usually from Japan, Punjabii is usually from India, that kind of name identification} seems to be inactive)

But, many Tempers are from the same country, USA, UK, France, and such. I wonder if you people actually meet up and do things together? (like, maybe go to Gamestop or something?)

It feels so empty, I've been here quite long, yet I have no acquaintance from this community :lol: like, I'm the only piece of salt in a pool of sugar, tea leaves, and coffee beans (okay, it's off-topic :lol: )

I've been a member of these forums for a while (long time lurker), but I haven't met any one.

I just recently moved to the UK, so I think it would be great to meet some up with some real gamers.
 
There was actually a GBAtemp trip a while ago, where the admins visited the U.S. and met up with many fellow tempers.
But all in all, I don't think it's likely for me to ever meet another temper.
 
I've met tonnes of people from this site. Too many to remember and list :) Always glad to see more, and hopefully will be seeing more soon
 
I'm mobility challenged ie no vehicle and no chance of being able to pay to go very far.

But I have actually met two random people from online experiences so it can happen.

Instance #1 I was ditching several years of Canadian HomeWorkshop magazine, and told their forum the issues were free to the first local to come get them. I got a greeting and a handshake for it :)

Instance #2 I was letting go of a stack of models to the first to arrive wanting them. Turns out I had a common interest with the person as well. I knew this person for a while from a forum though.

But aside from that, I do not actually expect to actually meet people I discover while online.
I'm too far off the urban trail and unable to go places for the most part.
 
nope, well, I don't think so anyway. Anyone here in the portsmouth area? or even go to Portsmouth University? (where I am at now)
 
I know a couple of people here go to portsmouth uni, they aint tempers though!!

portsmouth aint far from london though!

ShadowXP lives in Portsmouth, and me and Shaun live in Southampton which is kinda close!
 
I haven't met anyone from here yet, but would love to meet some fellow tempers :)
But there are only a few Belgians I actually know on here...
 
I met with moozxy, but she was a girl. Also, where do you live in Portsmouth UltraMagnus!
 
I wouldn't. especially after hearing about that one kid =w=; you never know
 
Well I have met in person my share of people that I have met online (been lucky enough that no one has killed me yet) and it would be cool to meet fellow tempers. But I think I am the only member that lives in this tiny caribbean islad called Puerto Rico, so the chances are pretty slim.
 
:( NOW I feel even more depressed, you guys sems like you can meet anytime anywhere





LoL kidding, maybe if I can win a ticket to London via some shady lottery...... :ninja:
 
Nope, never met a Temper in real life. I don't go out much though. Back and forth to work is the most out-and-about I am these days.

There's also the fact that I'm 40, so a meeting with most Tempers would be........awkward.

I'm in Cleveland, Ohio, BTW.
 
Well, being 40 sure is not the same with being 27 or 32 :rolleyes:

but at least we all will respect you should we meet you sometimes since "OMG! Look! Moderayder! He's a Moderator for GBATemp's sake, Mr Rayyyderr! Can you sign here please?" :lol:

I'm 46, and I would feel sad if the best you could do was meet me in my boring town :)

I am boring, and the town is boring (but boring is ok if you are old enough to like quiet and peaceful).

Old people meeting young people isn't 'weird' under the right conditions. I'm ok with your kids according to Scouts Canada.
I have absolutely NO past history with the authorities (refer back to how I am boring :)). But my idea of fun is walking through a museum and giving a class of kids a guided tour.
 
Didn't Science say he's planning to transfer to UBC as CS major?
Well if he does, there's a good chance we'll meet. (Probably as TA and student rather than classmates though).

But I don't know what to say.
 
Well, i'm looking to put up more of a poll about this, but for the time being

Who would be interested in a North-East US meetup? Either NYC, Philly or Baltimore.

Also, would we rather do this on our own time (set up the meet whenever?) Or should we try to time it to be around a con of some kind? (kill two birds w/ one stone, kinda dealy)
