When I started out playing M:tG (before I could drive) we played at the public library all the time. Then a local card shop opened up and we played there.
Then when when I got a car, we drove to a better cardshop that had better tournaments. After the tournaments we used to play at Denny's and another place The Patio or something liek that, after the Card Shop closed, and none of us knew the managers. There are all kinds of alternatives. |

We used to shuffle over to a 24-hour Whataburger when the local store closed and continued playing games (mostly CCGs...On the Edge, MtG and L5R mainly). We would have 15 to 20 there and the older guys in the group made sure the more unruly behaved themselves. Almost everyone purchased something from the counter and when it hit midnight we left. The store and the Whataburger were a good place to get to meet people and to see them in different environments. About 80% of the people there would have been fine to invite over to the house for games.

The vast majority of you I wouldn't. Mainly because I wouldn't want to see my DVD collection and laptop walk out the door while I was in the bathroom. I've though about picking up a martial art. I figure I could be a lot more comfortable with strangers if I know that they are unlikely to physically dominate me. I recognize that there are highly sophisticated well prepared predators out there, and if they choose to come into my home, well, they win. The vast vast majority of predators are lesser prepared opportunistic ones. If you are aware and take precautions, these opportunistic types will look elsewhere or be defeated. So, just be smart and aware to mitigate your risks. With a community like this, the good far outweighs the bad; the reward far outweighs the risk. I hope to meet many more you at future gatherings, becausee this community is a blast! Sudema is top notch in Heroscape: Legacy. Try out this alternative unit cost system at your next game day or tournament. |

I would have to say that I am shocked beyond belief.
I used to talk to Doug a lot. Doug even professed to be a Christian, as I am. I am afraid that I can't speak for anyone, except myself- I try to trust people, try to find good in people and try to treat people as Jesus Christ would do. I also would like to say that I NEVER manipulate any situation to compromise myself, my family or any of my friends. I invite people to play Heroscape, but I would NEVER put anyone in a position that they, myself or anyone else would feel uncomfortable in. just because I trust people and try to love my neighbor as myself I am not stupid. I would have to say without reservation that I am really shocked with UD's situation. I don't know where anyone could find rationality in what he was trying to do. please, don't let one problematic situation spoil our great community, there are some good people out here. the North Carolina Semi-Hex Annual Skirmish. old school style. |

Cornpuff,
I'll be flying in. What's in your DVD collection? Now let's see, how many extra suitcases will I need for the return trip ... (The worst thing is my collection is so out of hand, I probably have any DVD's he could possibly name, except for Cornpuff's "Best of LoGo" collection ...) Just because you're offended, it doesn't make you right.
