LOL! Sweet jebus, if half your weekend was ruined because people were playing a GAME differently-- you need to go outside more and get some real friends.

If I could have even GOT to the convention I would have paid the ticket...but hello, there is a whole other side of this planet called Earth and it contains other countries not just the states.  I think some forget this is an international game, thank god people like me outside of the states have to remind you of this!

Nah, we remembered it was an international game. So did maik,ede, and mose when the came from germany to get to the con.

Stop being all high and mighty. A condescending nature won't gain you any respect here.

LOLOL this has been happening since the advent of CONS. I first observed this kind of "prank" during an old AW CON, since that time I make it a rule to NOT fly during CON weekend unless I am attending the CON.  In this way I avoid all the drunken CON joke's LOL

Actually I have seen quite a few published airfare rates from London to major US Hubs (NY, DC, Dallas, Chicago and others) that are actually Cheaper than what it costs me to fly from a smaller airport in the US to Dallas.

If you look around ahead of time, you might be suprised.

One o my bosses flew to Germany not long ago for $400 Canuck bux (less than $300USD) from Toronto.

Im NOT rich, and i cant afford to put THAT much of my money towards going to the CON because I HAVE a life.  You really think the cost of 1 ticket is all the costs of going abroad?  I cant even go on a holiday at any time of the year, let alone to the states for a game.  There are things called accomodation, equipment, food, Ticket to the Con so, that 'cheap' ticket becomes a hell of a lot more expensive at the end.  Something a 20 year old living on his own, running a car , with a normal pay job cannot afford.

Swulfe, i spend about 10 hours a week on average playing AH (including squad night and TOD) all the MORE reason for me to be annoyed at losing a night of playing?  What you said was completely the opposite mate.

I have nothing to gain from posting here, as apparently this happens year after year and is cool with everyone, as i said before, im not returning to this thread, until next year

the ticket is the easy part - my last round trip from san fran to paris was $800 per ticket. car, hotel and all that rich food was many times that though.
