Four down…Four to go!
FMGC 2013 - Planning, Roster, Suggestions, Invites

Regarding the size of the venue, we were discussing that at the end of the evening on Sunday.
We could definatley have optimized the space a LOT better, so there could easily be another 4-5 tables available (or just more walking room).
I (personally) doubt we will have access to that other room, as that is for 420wing members only (it’s their clubhouse so-to-speak). But with the extra space we CAN make we can make it work.I think the best bet is to put a CAP on the number of tickets available, for the next year anyway. If it hits that, then absolutely we need to consider moving the event (sadly and happily at the same time). If we had 50-60 show up, I imagine we could cap it at 80 (the venue apparently holds 100 in that main room alone), leaving a little leeway for walkins.

What if the event ran 3 days instead of 2?
-
And should I pack a step stool for Jeremy? Â :D
The only issue I can see with a 3 day event at THAT location is that they seem to have a members-type event going on most Friday nights. We had to hang out until they slowly left in order to get in and do a super-rush setup this year. Last year we couldn’t even get in friday night to set up and did it all Saturday morning!

I have a minor suggestion. Next year I volunteer to start something called “swap box”. I’ll bring a box of pieces that I don’t have use for and put it out for people to swap pieces, chips, dice, whatever crap they don’t have use for. Take something; leave something. One man’s trash is another’s treasure.
One more thing: the food from 5 guys was very good.

I agree, The space has great potential and could be used in a different way to accommodate more. I bet that 4 more table could fit between the projector and the front door alone. no point in leaving such an awesome hall until we actually see between 80>90 participants attend. I would cap it at 90 (70 for preregistration and 20 for walk ins) and if it’s reached, than it’s time to walk with the Zombies of down town Oshawa.

Ya, those Niagara guys are awesome, I would do that in the summer some time.

Next year the hall should be open all night Saturday so the truly hard core among us can play through from Saturday morning til Sunday night.
No sleep til Victory!

Im in, though next year im leaving the German uniform at home (or letting someone borrow it) and rocking my Finnish uniform :-D

Oh and maybe Most Holy could host a sunday night “drinking game” event. lol.
I got it! Take a shot every time an infantry falls. China and Japan will be hammered by the end of round one and in the hospital by the time America is at war!
