panpantom: well done Simon (SV17) first time on KX mp
signaller1: full with a q!
panpantom: KC: Palace seeks a signaller
simon.vale : I'm SV17
simon.vale : Yeh - but I'm a newbie - I'll need something easy to do
panpantom: Simon are you up for KX?
simon.vale : I'm joining
panpantom: any more joining KX?
arabianights: *hurray
arabianights: huray
panpantom: KX hosting details on forum
panpantom: I'll host a KX
simon.vale : I'm going to guess he isn't going to turn up
simon.vale : maybe not..
simon.vale : Haha - its not 10pm yet - patience ;)
arabianights: that said it this does kinda require the 10pm host guy to turn up...
arabianights: :)
simon.vale : And there weren't any spare platforms in Liverpool Street either
simon.vale : I made a huge mistake with the Liverpool Street Sim - I had the Bishopsgate Tunnel closed, and there was just a huge queue of 5 trains trying to get to Bethnal Green
simon.vale : Yeh that would be good - I'm not sure I trust myself with anything more
arabianights: cause it's not really possible to make a HUGE mistake with that
arabianights: or if you're completely new it might be worth asking to do the hertford loop
simon.vale : ok
arabianights: what normally happens is everyone is assigned a panel on a first come first served basis
arabianights: you will have to speak to the host about it but they will probably not want to link with a complete newbie cause there are lots of extra issues if you are a host (which you would have to be if you wanted to link)
simon.vale : as you can link sims together can't you?
simon.vale : I also have the Royston one - so I could just be left to that one as its simple enough ;)
simon.vale : Just installed it
simon.vale : Ok :)
arabianights: download simsig kings cross (and simsig main files) then wait for thread in the forum with details for the multiplayer
simon.vale : I'm a relative newb but I don't mind trying out a signalling session. What do I need to do?
Morsey: More KX?! Im up for it :P
arabianights: moi aussi
georgerb: KX @ 10pm - count me in please
jc92: sounds like a good plan :) I could look at hosting a late night Sim circa 10pm
jimgos2005: what to do on a rainy evening lets have an mp session kx if possible

Correct me if i'm wrong, but many of the posts in this topic talking about new sims, aren't necessarily talking about in development sims. There are some sims that are not played very often that would have been perfect for a meet where no "sneak-peeks" or similar were happening.

I think a lot of people have agreed that the sheer cost of a meet sometimes outweighs the benefits. As an example, I spent in the region of £40-50 last week to go to the meet, yes I enjoyed it, yes I put names to faces etc., but I was still playing some of the most overplayed sims that have been created. Is that a testament to their quality? Yes. To the work that has been put into them? Yes. All of the released sims are up to a high standard of quality that could have easily been used at the meet that aren't played as often. This would have satisfied most people. Those who have gone to the meet to run a panel alongside other signallers, and also those who have gone for the more social side of it.

If i'm going to be honest, as much as I enjoyed the meet, would I pay £50 to play Kings Cross again? I doubt it. Would I have paid the same to play a less played sim such as South Humberside? Quite possibly.

Those going or who are minded to go, could have a poll of the available Sims and see what people might like to have played.

that sounds good to me, would there also be a poll for timetables? personally my vote would for instance be a 70s/80s timetable, however if the majority would prefer a 2009 one then fairs fair.

The person who sets the poll can decide the question.
