Incognito’s Pubcrawl

The Beer and Bar committee TasKE is proud to announce this year’s pub crawl. We will open this year with a trip around some of Maastricht’s best pubs and bars. We will start at hotel La Colombe at 19:45 before traveling on around 20:30. We will spend about ~30 minutes per bar, and go to 6 bars total!

For each bar we have gathered a list of recommendations. These recommendations will consist of three picks by us, TasKE, and 2 picks by the bar itself. These recommendations will be revealed in due time.

Joining the event is free, but of course, you will have to pay for your own drinks at the bar itself.

We hope to see you on Friday!

Incognito’s Board Game Night

MSV Incognito is hosting Boardgame night!!!
If you don’t have any plans this upcoming Wednesday and simply wish to hang out with your friends, come join us to play some board-games at Tapijn building Z. Even if you do not like games, this evening is known as one of our most relaxed events as the only thing that we do is sit down, chat and have fun.
For everyone coming we will be bringing a few games which you can pick up and play but we also welcome you to bring some of your own games if you wish to play with some of your friends. We also have plenty of games which are fun for large groups such as Cards against Humanity and Ultimate Werewolves!!!
Feel free to bring a couple of beers with you if you are over the age of 18 and enjoy a nice drink with your game. However, we must address that this is one of the first times the faculty has allowed us to use Tapijn building z to host our events and they have even given us permission to drink alcohol, but we must strictly say this is NOT A DRINKING EVENT.
The faculty really wishes that we remain civil with our drinks and our use of the building and as students of DKE we hope that everyone can respect their wishes.
Apart from the serious note grab your games, grab your friends, grab your dice and we hope to see you there!

Pool Night: Billiards & Booze

Come join us for a time-honored tradition at DKE: Pool night at Snooker Centrum on the 14th of September! A casual evening of billiards and booze (and sports on TV) at the biggest and best snooker hall in Maastricht, where you can scratch your way to embarrassing losses and laugh it off with friends, or pull off impressive pool tricks for your Instagram.

Entry is €5 and gets you unlimited access to the tables all evening. Drinks are your own responsibility, but the Snooker Centrum has very cheap drinks compared to the pubs in the city center.

No registration required, just show up at the venue and find the large group!

Block Opening Drinks (BOB): Pimp My Shirt!

MSV Incognito would like to invite all of DKE’s new and old students to our very first Block Opening Borrel (BOB).

Since many new people are joining our faculty and there are so many new faces we are gonna break the ice by having everybody write on each others shirts!
We advise everybody who is coming to bring a white t-shirt with them to give people a chance to write fun messages to each other to start the year.
If you forget to bring a white t-shirt its no problem. We will be selling extra white tshirts as well. But the number of shirts is limited so we dont advise this if you plan to come later.

And ofc it wouldnt be much of a BOB if we didnt serve drinks as well. During the evening we will be selling the shirts and tokens which you can use to purchase beers and cocktails from our associations bartenders. If you wish to drink something else you could always ask the bar staff of La Colombe for something else at regular prices.

The prices are as follows:
1 token: 1.50 euros
1 tshirt: 4.50 euros
Beer: 1 token
Cocktails: 3 tokens

As always drink tokens cost 1.50 for members of Incognito and 2 euros for non-members. A beer costs a token each and a cocktail will cost 3 tokens as usual.

Due to an overlap with the university schedule, we will be breaking tradition this year and we will NOT have a 6th BOB. Therefore this will be our final BOB for this academic year. Regardless hope to see you on April 11th!

General Assembly

When the current board of Incognito was elected last November, we ran on a platform of modernization and optimization of the structure of Incognito, and one of our main objectives was to update the legal statutes upon which Incognito was founded and relies upon. We believe that there are several clauses and sections within the statutes that desperately need attention, and several which absolutely need to be updated (such as financial requirements being listed in Dutch Guilder, a currency that no longer exists).

Since our election we have been working on devising changes and updates to these statutes, and are proud to present our proposed changes to you, our members. As per the statutes, changes to these statutes must be brought before a General Assembly and voted upon by the members.

There is a requirement in the current statutes that 75% of all members must be present at this General Assembly in order to vote on the changes, and if that threshold is not met, another General Assembly must be called thereafter that has no attendance requirement. Therefore, we are calling the first of two General Assemblies to address these changes. In the first GA, we will outline all of the changes to the statutes (which have also been attached to this email) and discuss their merits point by point. However, during this first GA no voting will occur on whether to accept these changes, however we may discuss and alter these changes for the following GA. The second GA will be called no later than 6 weeks from the first GA, where we will assemble again to finally vote whether to accept the changes to the statutes point by point, meaning some changes may be accepted and others not, depending on the vote.

Therefore, the board of Incognito hereby calls for a General Assembly of the members on the 21st of March at 18:30 in Bouillonstraat. We hope to see a good turnout so we can thoroughly discuss these important matters with you, our members. Please review the attached document to familiarize yourself with our proposed changes beforehand, and refer to the current statutes for comparison (also attached). We will see you there!

MSV incognitos Game of Assassins

The deadline for signing up is MARCH 2ND at 13:00!!!

The Guild of Assassins is looking for new recruits to join their ranks. However, there is only one way to find out who is most worthy of this recognition: A massive game of sneaking, backstabbing and outright slaughter.

Incognito’s event committee, AKtiE, is running an assassination game from 5th of March until the 16th of March. Every registered player will be given a target who they will have to kill by stabbing this target in the back with a plastic knife provided by us, thus proving that they are worthy of their spot in the guild. However, if you yourself get killed, you are out of the game and are not able to join back in. The winner of the game will be the last recruit standing or, in the case that by the deadline multiple people have avoided death’s grasp, the player still alive with the highest kill count will take the trophy.

Rules and signup on the Facebook event:

Career day

It is with great excitement that we are announcing the 2018 edition of Incognitos Business Day. Every year, our department along with Incognito organizes a day where students get to listen and talk to companies ranging from startups to multinationals. Here is the information about this year’s edition:

Date: Wednesday 21st May 2018
Time: 13:30 – 17:00
Location: Tapijn, Building Z
Dress code: Business casual/Job interview
Registration: Free but there is a sign up required

This is a great opportunity for students of all years to talk to potential employers in order to grow their personal network and perhaps find a place where they can someday do an internship, a thesis or even start a career. We will slowly be announcing the companies in the run up to the event so make sure you keep an eye on this event and our page!

During the day, each company will present during 10 minutes and will try to show why they are an employer that understands the challenges of a constantly more data-driven and smarter world. After the presentations, speed dates with representatives will be organized so that each student can talk to each company in person. The day will end with an informal drink.

We are looking forward to seeing you during the day. More info will be given about the companies and the day itself through e-mail, Facebook as well as our website.
