eCanada Summit - Survey of Interest
•
by Mann551
Hello fellow citizens,
I'm just putting this out there in an effort to survey the interests of eCanadians in participating in an eCanada summit.
What would an eCanada summit look like?
An eCanada summit would look like a plan for a bunch of eCanadian players to all travel at the same time to a similar location, such as a city in Canada, where we could all hang out with each other. The timeline would likely be about the amount of a weekend so as to be the least disruptive as possible to peoples lives. We'd likely all plan to stay at the same hotel, with consideration to budgets, so that it would be easy for us to all hang out together.
Some Activities
At this point, I can only guess that it would be a pretty low-key itinerary, being that there would be none. Certainly I can imagine that people would hang out together at a bar or lounge, though other activities are not out of the question, such as bowling, laser tag, whatever you want at this point.
Why would anyone do this?
We all play eRepublik. It's been going for 11 years, and some of us have been around for that long. Some of us have only just started playing. Ultimately, why are we all still playing this game though? The #1 reason I hear that people stay and keep playing the game is because of the community. We know each other through aliases, I think it would be cool to get to know each other in person.

At this point, I'm just trying to gauge if there would be interest. There is no timeline for when this would happen, no location at all. Just gauging if there is interest, and if there were enough interest, then plans could start being put into motion to organize something.
You who read this, if you would be so kind as to send me a pm indicating whether this would be of interest to you or not, I'd appreciate it!
I look forward to hearing your responses.
Obviously, all responses will be confidential. No individual response will be reported publicly, only if there is sufficient interest will responses be made public, and then only in aggregated form.

I think it would be great. i love the idea off connecting on more personal level. (Just like BBS get togethers in the old days, sorta. lol. )
I am a little limited cause of client needs and current expenses. I made total of $4500 income 2019. (terrible year). limited funds for the time being. (Unless it could include employee recruitment or something).. This year I am off list, unless it was in lower mainland BC somewhere.
"...so that it would be easy for us to all hang out together."
You say "low-key itinerary" so we could hang out by skinny dipping at the pool in the wee hours? 😃
Group picture would be awesome! lolololol
Uhh. No. I don't want to see any of you skinny dipping
That is one way to go, I suppose. EVeryone would have to be in agreeance though
Get me Canaian working visa and I am on my way 😃
this would be interesting lol i would love to see a picture ..
I like the idea of a summit but I'm in a similar boat as grindarkly - there's just no way I can travel right now.
Anyways, with a country as large as ours it's not like we have one central location that we could all travel to cheaply. But there are probably enough of us in several cities that would be willing to meet other eCanadians living in town to say at least hi, once.
We can meet for lunch at some big malls' food courts. If everyone (or enough people, anyways) have a blast, we can always up things to watching a hockey game at some sports bar some time. Or if nobody's having any fun, we never have to see each other after we're done our shawarmas and all you're out is an hour and ten bucks or maybe even less of either.
Craving shawarmas. Oof.
Ok, so it sounds like there is interest but logistics are tricky. As an alternative, we might think about a virtual summit.
~hyuu~
I've met a handful of eCanadians IRL. Downtown Toronto was a location. IIRC, Vancouver was also a location, but for a more solemn occasion.
