I do have strong reservations about the "Clancambell wins!" format, though. There's something fishy about it, but I can't put my finger on it...

I would also tentatively plan on bringing some games for afterwards, I have some stuff I'd still love to get some more plays in, like Kemet, and Bioshock, and City of Remnants, and Cyclades, and Pathfinder Card game, and ...

a. Yeah, I'd also be up for some Vanilla 'Scape ( any 'Scape is better than NO 'Scape )

b. Since CC lives in MD, don't they usually say, "There's something 'CRABBY' about it, instead of "something fishy..." ???

c. We've played Mad_Wookiee's "Kemet" at TGK in WC, PA on a couple of non-HS casual gaming days. I'd be interested in playing that. The others I'm not familiar with, but willing to learn. Arrrgh! So many games and sooo little TIME.

You can put me down as a yes. I'll check with crichton as well.

[Dad_Scaper]

Great! I'll put you both down as "yes."

I'm slightly leaning toward vanilla. I do like some of Johngee's ideas, but they seem to require some time in between rounds, and that's something we don't really have.

I may be the only person in the universe who noticed, but I was pleased to see we showed up in the Family Game Store online newsletter:

I am going to really try and make this event. It has been way too long since I have rolled any skulls or shields. I will let you know for sure closer to the date.

[Dad_Scaper]

Yes!!! We're on Skinny Tom's calendar! See if you can bring Day 2 ace Arcus.

Leaning toward 395 points, 16 hexes. Thoughts? Remember, any alternative has to accommodate our tight time frame and other priorities.

[Johngee]

Can't you just make it an EVEN 400 points? It's easier for us old-timers to do the math with rounded ( "O O" ) numbers.

I second having an even 400 points to work with

[clancampbell]

I like 395. I'm evil like that. I'd even go 396!

[Gurei-Ornery]

It wouldn't be a DS NHSD without a xx5 point limit. Every one I have been to have had an odd point value. Personally, I hope that trend continues, but it isn't that big of a deal either way.

Tempting, tempting.

Solomon has considered the above arguments, each of which is worthy and weighed heavily on his mind. He has decided thusly:

Solomon is very excited to see Johngee again, so he will give the old man what he wants.

400 points, 18 hexes. Note the 2 extra hexes as well.
