Citydash is coming to Brixton

[ddraig]

does it exit on their booking page? (as that's what editor said so can't catch him out with that one!) or any of the literature for the Brixton one?

[ddraig]

well does it?

 

[SpamMisery]

I have no idea

 

[ddraig]

why post a fucking facepalm then?

looks like there is a concession on the page for Brixton, a whole £5 off, nothing about residents though

Grumpy old gits nitpicking their way to moral victory. Sad.

disproving the rabid enablers, doing a bit of research and questioning dubious claims = nitpicking!

14 pages.

Looks awful event. Its not for me.

What did you do on Saturday?

Chased a Project Manager called Toby around Brixton.

Not sure about the class warfare implications but boy it sounds pony!

 

[Gramsci]

editor please look at the link I provided, and tell me the discount doesn't exist.


Also is there any evidence that these games will be on council estates? I can't see any, and after the fuss last time, I think it's unlikely that they will be.

I've looked at the link. I cannot see a map for where it's going. So at this time we don't know. I guess they wouldn't put a map up as this is part of the game. I don't know why you think it's unlikely.

I have no idea

Your point being what? I don't understand this post.

 

[editor]

editor please look at the link I provided, and tell me the discount doesn't exist.

This is bullshit and you know it. There is no reference whatsoever to this supposed discount on the event page or booking form and there was no mention of it in the press release they sent Buzz.
Nothing. Nada. So how the fuck are people supposed to find out about this discount?

I even typed "brixton citydash residents discount" into Google and the only place mentioning it is this thread

CITYDASH IS COMING TO BRIXTON

Citydash, the fast-paced, clue-cracking immersive game by Fire Hazard, is coming to Brixton in May. The game will run in the area on two dates: Sat 20 May and Sun 28 May.

The Craft Beer Co. Brixton, a local pub on Brixton Station Road, will serve as the HQ for the Citydash players.

Citydash is a high-energy urban adventure which takes place mainly on the streets. Players race against other teams to solve puzzles and find checkpoints around the game zone. This

is no ordinary treasure hunt however, as the Citydash guards will be on patrol, and they can steal points! Players may need to run or hide.

Described as ‘London’s greatest urban adventure’ by Curious London and ‘like you're living in an N64’ by Time Out, Citydash is an exhilarating street game of hide-and-seek with a
twist. It has been played by over 7000 people across London.

To find out more or book tickets, visit the Fire Hazard website. General admission is £20, concessionary rates available.

If you would like to attend the first game in Brixton on Sat 20th May 2017 at 2.00pm, please email ***** to request a free press pass.

There was no link for "concessionary rates," there's nothing on the webpage and you can see what happens if you search for the residents pass on Google.

If he continues his disruptive conduct he will be warned and then banned if he doesn't stop.

I looked at there website. If one goes to book this comes up.

High-energy street games :: Fire Hazard

There are discounts to £15 but no obvious information to get £5 residents ticket. If one just uses there website in normal way. That is find date and click on book tickets.

 

[newbie]

so, excitable young people are going to be charging around in groups in the market? on a saturday in May?

what could possibly go wrong?

 

[lefteri]

If they come running through my estate I might take pot shots at them, that'll make for exciting gameplay

 

[ddraig]

odd how "resident" doesn't appear to be mentioned in their terms on website either

They're your words. I like them.

Not so much defending, more taking the piss out of you lot getting so hot under the collar about such a stupid thing.

Yet you've made more posts than me on the topic. In fact you're the second most prolific poster on this thread!

 

[SpamMisery]

Is posting images disruptive or was it the words?

It's been one person versus a tag team of misdirected angry people. It seems strange that the editor of a message board would take a dim view of someone actively participating on a thread.

I take a dim view of someone manufacturing nonsense about me getting 'hot under the collar' when it's them getting more worked up. Anyway, sorry that your attempt at defending these idiots backfired on you.

The rules are simple. Don't be a dick. If you're incapable of adding anything relevant to a conversation, best to keep quiet rather than posting up a stream of stupid pictures.

Depends whether you get to disembowel Toby once you catch him, surely?

I'd be sorely tempted.

Then again, I'm sorely tempted to take potshots at "Park Run" participants, and they pass at least 25 metres away. I think I'd have to make it a challenge, and use a catapult rather than a crossbow, though.
