I've read some threads about people meeting up IRL, just wanted to check how common this is.

I met up with Fnord last year, and this autumn I'll probably meet zelghadis since I'm going to the city where he lives then (hey, am I only meeting Level 10 people? Don't mean to discriminate! :D).

How about you?

Have you met someone you first got to know through Steamgifts in real life? (Someone you knew before SG does not count)

Yes, more than once.
Yes, once.
No, but I will soon (talked about it / planned it).
No, but it could be fun.
No, not interested.

Nope, haven't met anyone. I don't really have any candidates for meeting either. But given the opportunity I would since I'd like to travel to places and if someone was willing to show me around then I'd definitely visit.

Haven't met anyone from either SG or online in general, but my current city would make it very easy to meet a fellow Canadian user. Not too sure I would be open to the idea though.

I don't mind meeting new people. They either enjoy my company, or run away, screaming, both of which I find entertaining.

The fact that some of my friends are SG members count like meeting in person some SG users ? if yes, I meet few, quite often.
But I meet a couple from games (the funny thing was that they wanted to meet me mostly, I'm usually the grumpy one), and we still are good friends.

There is a guy in my class that I talk through Steam and Discord, while I'm barely able to talk to him when he is 5meters away -_-
Meeting people on SG could be interesting, if the person is ready to speak alone XD

Planning to meet soon irl someone I know from SG.

Would be nice to meet other sincerely interesting people if at the moment we would be on good enough terms. Would be also great to recognize another such people - it is always a great joy to find someone you could sincerely respect and be interested in some of their views. If having a possibility to travel a bit, would be a good occasion to combine this with meeting old 'pen pals' ..theoretically :3

I introduced a co-worker to SG, does that count?

I probably wouldn't mind meeting someone from SG in real life, but I wouldn't plan any trip for it. Maybe if we just happened to live in the same city. And even then, I'm not great at interacting with people I don't know so it would probably be awkward.

I wouldn't plan a trip for meeting someone either, but if I do end up in the same town with some time to spare - why not? :D

I've had overall very good luck meeting people from the internet, though no one from steamgifts yet. I think steamgifts - and, more specifically, the backlog assassins community - is the most international community I've been a part of. Most people on here I know and like are in countries far away from mine!
