In favor of this argument, and I know I discussed the other side of it, above, is that most local tournaments around the country allow C3V and SoV. I think it might be fair to say that a daytime slot is far more likely to attract attendees than a nighttime "open" slot.

But my guess is that events are already submitted, so I suspect this ship has sailed.

Looks like I'm probably coming back this year. And looking forward to it!

Well, I do like my Scape, but the reason I come back is to see friends like you, old man. Fingers crossed!

Re: Gen Con 2019

If I remember right from last year, someone told me map setup usually takes place on Wednesday and extra volunteers are helpful. If that's correct, around what time?

I should be able to be around to help with map setup, depending on the exact time.

Chris - within the next couple weeks Gencon will finalize our events and I'll post them in here.



Once that is done we will start reaching out to folks for help with things like map setup on Wednesday. Thank you for offering!

Woah, really surprised to see a C3G event. I will do whatever I can to help out with figures and cards.

Re: Gen Con 2019

Yeah - maybe have some 1000-point C3G armies available for people to borrow as I am sure people would play if you did. Also the Assassin's Creed & Speed Scape look cool so if I went and din't make day to not sure which I would do. Same with Take 2 and Heat of the Battle:Unique, as both formats have been clamored for at Gencon.

I noticed there is a Thursday open play at 8pm but no open play Friday or Saturday night - I am guessing because attendance was low last year and people are scaped out by that point. But hypothetically could we have ticketed (or free) off-books event Fri or sat night and use the maps? Also noticed max attendance at one time is 52 (26 maps) which is lower than previous 72, which is sad to see attendance dwindle.

Probably @dok will chime in but is anyone doing a C3V tournament during that open play? Also would anyone be interested in a Magic:Arena Tournament one night at 8pm or even as an alternative on Saturday at Noon (after Speed Scape event ends) or 3pm?

BTW, I am 50/50 right now, as it is right before my finals of my last MBA class.

No, no you cannot play random events during random times. Yes, you can play scheduled events during scheduled times.

This is not your friend's basement. It is an organized series of events.

I know that VC is allowed in the Open Play events, but I think that a bigger C3V/SoV-inclusive event could also be pretty interesting. The units are balanced enough to lend themselves to a tournament structure in my opinion, and only lumping them in with all kinds of customs makes it more difficult to get in normal matches with them (nothing against other customs, of course, but I think that many have different goals than the VC ones do). Much like C3G is deserving of its own event, I'd argue that C3V/SoV is as well.

That said, I also don't know how the attendance would be because I've only been to a single GenCon before, and I can see the argument being made that C3G represents SuperheroScape whereas VC extends the classic game and thus can more easily be slotted into other events... But if there's ever a C3V/SoV event, I'd definitely want to participate.
And my response will continue to be, run whatever 3 letter custom event that you want during an open play slot. Megasilver and my bff dok have done it several times in the past and I believe they have gone ok overall.

We certainly encourage you guys to take advantage of the time we have available for you to run those sort of events.
If that’s how you feel, then would you mind explaining why C3G got its own “official” event? How is it any less “customy” than C3V/SoV?
There was a guy in charge for a few years, which I was thankful for at the time because I needed a break, and he let it in without discussing it with others. He is no longer on the committee at this time. And that’s where I’m going to leave that discussion.

Based off of the previous discussion quoted above, this is verrry interesting...

Apparently organizers are still biased against the most prestigious “3-letter” (as Maccabaeus puts it) custom project this community has seen. Just simply mind-boggling and so bizarre to me, especially since it was eluded to that the guy who added a customs event last time was removed as an organizer for it lol.

Maybe one day C3V/SoV will get the love they deserve [at the biggest gaming event for scapers]...one can only hope.

Re: Gen Con 2019

It's much too late for anything to change this year, I'm pretty sure.

If you want to promote C3V/SoV chances for the future, get people to show up for an open play event this year.
