    I was on Snorlax last year, and I'm looking into organizing Team Snorlax this year. Watch this space.
    Is team Snorlax happening again this year? A few of us want to enjoy the crawl while being as lazy as possible.

    I think Eep usually organizes team snorlax and she's not coming this year. But that being said, I don't know how 'organized' team snorlax usually is. As is said every year, 'planning' is a little too much effort for team snorlax. ;) I think you should just show up at a bar and hang out. Camping, as we know, is a legitimate strategy.

    And with that all teams are now temporarily closed. I am will be opening them back up after the weekend.

    Keep an eye on the thread, and wait for signups to re-open.

    After work and travelling with friends (who are driving from DC) Train is what I wanted to do but it's too expensive for them. Snorlax here I come!

    I am pretty sure I saw it leaving at like 7am and getting in around 1pm. Was maybe $60 round trip I think.

    edit: I am hawking this thread so hard. Haha. $20 Atlus opens sign ups when I am at my hockey game at 10pm tonight. *shakes fist*

    I've been lurking this thread like crazy as well. Ever since I missed the first round because of that random thread that said sign-ups wouldn't start till march >_>.

    It wasn't exactly random, that was just the best information that people talking to Atlus had at the time. Turned out Atlus was ready earlier than expected.

    He said he would give a bit of a warning before he opens again. Don't know if that meant that it would open after the weekend or if he is gonna give like a days notice.

    Although, if they were hot chikoritas, that wouldn't bode well for not fainting on one hit.

    Late to the signups, I've been !Pikachu for the last two crawls. Building a Pikachu crawl outfit again this year (last year was the top hat and vest). If room opens up on Pikachu Gold (or Silver), I'd love to attend again.

    Keep an eye on the thread, the groups aren't full yet. They are all *half* full. The initial wave of signups is over, and people are waiting for the second wave to begin.

    easy for you to say, you're already signed up. i've been doing this every year so far and it just so happens that i'm working an anime convention the weekend of signups

    The first round of signups happened on Friday actually, not the weekend. Signups were closed for the weekend, and will re-open sometime this week. That's what he means by broken record, a bunch of people who haven't read what's actually going on in the thread.

    i know exactly whats happening. its just really easy to laugh at other peoples excitement and exasperation at how fast sign ups filled when you just happened to be paying attention at the right time. i haven't been near a computer since last wednesday, and i don't want to have to miss this crawl because of it.

    You're right, but he's not laughing at that, he's laughing at the people who are posting in the thread to sign up (and haven't noticed that teams are temporarily closed) and/or people who think that signups are permanently closed. Both of which indicate not knowing exactly what's going on in the thread. Maybe he's wrong and/or trolling, but it *is* a little bit of a broken record situation to constantly re-post "signups are temporarily closed, but will re-open".

    Works for me. I'm simply expressing my enjoyment of the last couple crawls and typing in a forum. I haven't been able to get to the forums this year until now, I'm a baaaaad nerd. :)

    I was just laughing at zerzhul since I am sure he has the message stored as his copy & paste. Haha. I meant no offense by it to you or anyone else that is trying to sign up during the temporary closed period.

    If it makes you feel any better, I missed the initial sign ups and am waiting to switch from gold to silver. I was stalking the thread like a beast and then the one day I don't check Facebook on my phone to hear that sign ups started, boom.

    Atlus should change the thread title saying sign ups temporarily closed.

    Not too worried, I appear to have started watching just in time, but the rest of my travel group needs to be alerted, so this is useful stuff.

    Now that you've updated your avatar, I totally remember you. Best costume on my team last year, no doubt about it. Dapper.

    When I checked the train for the great train adventure it was something like $60 each way, which I didn't mind. But with 4 people that makes $480. Driving will not cost $480.

    Well, technically it will cost $120 each then. Are you paying for them if you took the train?

    I would 100% rather pay for the convenience of relaxing for a few hours than having to deal with other drivers. I just have to make sure I find other PAX people to hang with this year since I am traveling alone this year.

    If it's like previous years, gold and silver will start and finish at the same bar but have different routes in between.

    They are considered part of the same team for donation collection purposes. They start together at the same bar, and have different routes. I don't remember if they end together or not.

    Question: Do the Nurse Joy/Assistants have to be straight edge for the evening or can they imbibe, but remain sober?
