DisruptiveConduct

we only had a few date options from the hotel available and we felt something further away from the start of the new school year was better, among other considerations.

its gonna be a Sweat Box!

I have to call this part out and disagree with it. We get rule changes multiple times a year in the form of a new version of the FAQ for the BRB, a new version of an FAQ for specific codex, and then to top it all off, Chapter Approved comes out every year. Then there are the Beta rules that everyone insists on playing even though they are beta rules. The very definition of "beta rules" means that they are not thoroughly tested and are not the final rules, yet most people play them that way. The constant changes to all of the rules is a big turn off for me.

And now for the best list of all. By no means is this conclusive. We had many people purchase tickets for other people. This is a list of individuals with confirmed ticket purchases. I do know that we had the largest turn out ever for the most game diverse weekned at an OFCC. All of the folks on this list put their faith in us to provide a great weekend. Their support funded the venue, the terrain, the trophies, the giveways, the favorite opponent pins and many other things. This is in alphabetical order.

Now Thanks for our Heads of Gaming: These folks stepped up to the gaming table and said "I will show them the way." They put themselves out there to provide quality events for all our attendees. They worked hard on developing the event packets and missions. They solicited for prize support. They worked with Ordo Fanaticus to make sure all aspects of the hobby were accounted for and that sportsmanship was held to a higher standard than most other events. Please join me in saying "THANK YOU" for all the work they did.

WE DID IT! OFCC 2019 COMPLETE!! Well, what can we say? Did we all have a great time? Did we all get 5 great games? Did we all make new friends, enemies, or even frienemies (half friend, half enemy)? I certainly did! I would like for all of you take this time while basking in the afterglow of gaming glory to reach out and say "THANK YOU" to the following people who worked very hard to make all of OFCC a reality. @Blustorm - Club Treasurer and Historian, this guy rocks it! Not only did he successfully run the very first OFCC boardgame event (M-A-R-S), he was on hand to ringer for Ordo Bowl AND was available to pack up all the terrain used for the entire event. @ninefinger - Club Consul and all round dreamboat, his calm demeanor and stellar attitude kept all of us in a good place all weekend. He frequently manned the admin table and handled many issues that always come up at the last minute. @evil_bryan - All of us can only hope to look so good at 50! THE guy running the 40K event this year. All I heard was good things from the 40K players. From the missions to the event pins and trophies to the completely 3D printed 6x4 table, we are always happy to see his work appreciated. @Weav - I have to really give it to him. He runs one helluva event. Huge turn outs. Lots of fun. I never could imagine Blood Bowl could be so popular until I met him. @Burk - Crushed in with the very first Ordo BRAFT at OFCC. Everyone needs to buy this guy a diet coke whenever they see him. He stores and transports all the table toppers that pretty much every game system is played on except Blood Bowl, yet he only plays Blood Bowl. THAT is some gamer love right there. @Raindog - Pub Quiz Maestro and Pro-Consul, this guy orangized the Fluger Bag Raffle that raised over $500 dollars for our dear friend. This guy always helps with everything from table setup and to tear down. @Exile - So, when everyone got home did they look inside their swag bag? Did you find one of the most awesome giveaways possible in the form of a OFCC 2019 velcro-backed patch? If you think it is as awesome as I do, please tell this guy. He also orchestrated the entire weekend of Infinity events. @peter.cosgrove - TO for the 40K ITC Open, he ran one of the most casual and relaxed ITC events I have ever seen. He also put in hard work to make enough terrain for three full tables. And then we went on to lead a 40K team through the events of the weekend. @ROGRE - The strong and silent type, this guy helps out where ever he is needed. Admin table, disciplinary committee, and all round great Mars player, we want this guy there every year. @Jay - This year he really got to shine as the creator and designer of the OFCC 2019 logo. @Dark Trainer Our secret weapon for merchandise and sponsorship. This guy arranges to have the shirts and pint glasses made. He solicits stores and companies for the prize support used for the raffle and giveaways. Then he went on to captain an entire team of OFCC newbies! @Bosco - our newest member of the Senate, he took his hazing with a smile and is still showing up the club. Good on ya! This list is by no means extensive. There are so many other responsibilities and duties that need attention and are not mentioned here. OFCC is never just one person. It is the entire club, its members, and its spirit. For the Good of the Order!

We have a great crew here tonight. Setup is going great!

the lots south of the railroad bridge where the old Red Lion Centennial Center used to be is now all pay parking that is NOT city parking so not free on the weekend.

@valourunbound we will NOT have the free parking lot located south of the Hilton. it is now under city ownership. please see the OP of this thread for parking options.

yup! we have to wait until 6 for access to the hall so a little ansy to get in there and get it started.

Terrain is packed. Made it over the bridge past a stalled vehicle. BBQ to follow.

TODAY: WE BUILD IT Hello Fellow Ordoites, The day is here. Today we take our hands, our sweat, our tears, and our terrain to build this event! Until today, it was all just ideas and forum posts; list building and furious painting; recruiting and out reach; practice games and learning curves. Now, we take it all and make it an Event Like No Other. We will be loading into the Hilton at 6PM tonight in downtown Vancouver, WA. If you happen to be in the neighborhood and would like to lend a helping hand, we implore you to come by! We will be transporting tabletops, terrain tubs, and play mats in our vehicles and would love help getting them moved in and setup. Expect us to be there until around 8PM or 9PM. I'll be trying to make some live posts while we do the setup to keep everyone updated. If you haven't already, BUY YOUR TICKETS!! We will accept cash at the venue (NO CHECKS) for any events and merchandise. For the Good of the Order!

yes, i believe the fundraiser raffle for the bags will be available until sunday when the drawing happens.

if it has to do with Esther Park or the downtown area, post it up!

we will find out Thursday night and post about it here.

Hello Fellow Ordoites, We are now 5 days away from OFCC and it's going to be a good one! Currently and for the first time, we have 150 unique and awesome persons showing up to our Saturday and Sunday events. While this number is missing a few digits when compared to other events, we hold that each one of our attendees is worth 20 of theirs based on the quality of hobby, sportsmanship, and just plain humanity they bring to the tables. Therefore, we have almost 3000 regular gamers attending this weekend! This year also brings some other interesting, first time numbers. Both the Age of Sigmar and The 9th Age events are in the double digits, AoS currently at 24 players and 9th at 14 players. If there was any doubt about Fantasy being alive, this year should leave no room for it. Fantasy is here and strong! Square or round, get your models out and join them! We also have the most amount of Blood Bowl games ever seen in a weekend at OFCC. We have 5! different Blood Bowl events, 4 of them taking place on Friday! If you want to bend and warp your mind, body, and spirit to victory on the savage pitch, Blood Bowl holds a place for you! Then, there is a very lonely number: 1. This number represents the amount of available tickets left for the Speed Painting Competition taking place Friday night. We had to limit this down to 16 people and we are sitting at 15. Stake your claim and show us your skills in this first time event! And just in case you missed it, we still have some spots left for the Terraforming Mars tournament. The first time a boardgame event happened at OFCC and what a game. If you watch the Expanse, read decent SciFi, or just plain enjoy developing a civilization on a barren planet please join us. I'm playing in it, so that means you should too! We are looking forward to seeing everyone and hope to bring a few more firsts to the event. And another reminder for everyone, BUY YOUR TICKETS!! We want as many events going this year as possible and we need everyone to commit to them as soon as possible. Your funds go to paying for the venue and provide material support for all events. You make it all possible so please, do not wait until the last minute to buy your tickets! For the Good of the Order! Get all the information here!

Gorkamorka had to be one of the most dramatic and fun hour of skirmish wargaming I have been able to achieve to this date. I look forward to this campaign/event/league providing more of the same.
