SEIV Con. 1 -- OHIO

[PvK]

Actually, running a big SEIV LAN game at a game convention (whatever's local) would probably work really well.

You Americans and Canadians are all far too insular - forget the continental united states, there is another world out there

Let's do the convention in Europe or even better, Thailand

This topic reminds me:

There is an annual LAN convention here in Michigan (actually there are a few of them at the universities) that I have to look up. I keep missing it every year and I want to go.

If I do go to one of the LAN parties, maybe I could see about getting SE4 up and running; that would be something!

And if there is a convention in Ohio, should it ever get organized, I'd go.

A convention would break even and probalby turn a small profit. The key is to start small and build it each year as you gain experiance.
This worked for BattleGroupe Boston, (the miniatures wargame club I belonged to), and their convention "Havoc".
SG and MM, and other SG game companines will profit indirectly from exposure.
Cons are a lot of work. They can be very rewarding. They can also be a major financial risk if you guarantee a hotel X amount of rooms and they don't get filled.
I have a lot more thoughts if anybody would like them.

Wherever we have it, there must be at least 1 bar close by, where we can let our hair down, relax and discuss the finer arts of SE4. If we keep it small at first, 1 or 2 days, we would have a better chance of realization of the SE4 con. We could have Aaron and Richard give talks on the game/s, MM establishment give talks, The different Modders could give sessions on Modding the different aspects of the game to teach us rookies how to mod step by step, etc. IF possible we could set up a number of computers where players could play against each other in hot seat games, etc. Growltigga could discuss how to sip suds at sit down cafe's and watch the bouncing sites without getting caught, Gryphin to explain
the ins and outs of symbiote relationship to small furry Wooly Bears with small ears and Custer hats, Tesco & Puke to give a class on the proper make up of Sauce cuisine and SJ on how nomads shall inhabit the universe

just some ideas mac

Easy Mac, just keep your eyes moving quickly without focussing on anything for too long- alternatively, give the wife the credit card and point her at the nearest zara

No offence to Puke but with his handle, I would not want him within 20 yards of my kitchen when I am cooking

10 people in a brew pub for dinner followed by a nice evening of lan playing sounds like a good night to me.
