Before I left for SMOFcon Irma made me promise to kill Eemeli if he tried to bid for a Worldcon in Finland. Today we had the “Fannish Inquisition”, at which people intending to bid for future Worldcons make their presentations. Fortunately for Eemeli, he only offered to bid for “something like a Worldcon”, not an actual Worldcon. Also he didn’t mention a year. So it occurred to me that I should solicit opinions from Finnish fandom. You will probably want to suggest a number of at least 4 digits, the first of which should be no lower than 3.

Kraist Almighty! Will no one rid us of this troublesome pri… madman? (hymiö)
Of course, if all you want is a number, here’s one: 3999. Add more 9’s to the end if needed.
Good to hear Eemeli being active and enthusiastic!
“Something like”?
As I am jus now eating a lovely piece of fresh and sweet Finnish cottage cheese I wonder what “something like” a Worldcon would be and would I be happy there…
A year 3999 sounds very very good. Meanwhile Finncon (and its budget) is enough for us. Look more http://www.finncon.org

Never mind the Worldcon; I have to admit I’m a bit surprised Eemeli didn’t try to bid for a future SMOFcon in Finland…
Oh, I think Eemeli knows his product pretty well. Finland in August is exciting and exotic. Finland in December is not quite such an attractive prospect.
Mind you, there is a lot more chance of people buying into to a “something like SMOFcon” than a “something like Worldcon”. Eemeli did mention Acon, and I thought perhaps he could have made a bit more of it. But perhaps he’s waiting until I have attended one and can enthuse a bit more authoritatively about it.
