Souldier3 Posted November 18, 2019 Report Share Posted November 18, 2019 I would go to this. I think we have tried some new formats (mega battles, tanks giving, firestorm events) and it would be great to get feed back from those that participated. I would also be interested in reinforcing the concept of having more people host events or be involved in events other than as a player. Not everyone is interested in that but I think we have seen that people love the hobby and are willing to contribute to keep events happening.

barca Posted November 26, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2019 I am considering renting the Extra Life room at Guardian Games, for $40.00 for 4 hours, 12-4 PM. It is quiet and can comfortably accommodate 12-20 people. I could get a smaller room for less $, but the next smaller size only holds 8 people. I expect we will have between 9 and 12 attendees, but i could be overly optimistic. Food: We cold have a combination of food truck, delivered pizza and bring-you-own food Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barca Posted November 26, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2019 If some of the gamers in SW Washington cannot make the DEC event, perhaps someone from there could corral a few guys from that area arrange for a Sunday event in January to have a second social/discussion event. I would MC that second event if we could agree on a location could be somewhere between Portland and Lakewood/Olympia. Maybe the Denny's in Kelso, WA? (110 S Kelso Dr, Kelso, WA 98626) just east of Longview, WA? Or someone could suggest something else. Failing that, I can make an online survey for the gamers that missed the December event Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
