JeffCon 2009: Eight Days Remaining
Just an informational post for those not on Facebook:
The Rules:
1: Shoes off at the door.
2: No booze, period.
3: No music games, period.
4: No presents. Your presence is your present.
5: Carpool when possible; parking gets full fast.
6: There is only one bathroom. If you think you gotta, take the first opportunity you can.
7: If you got 'em, smoke 'em on the balcony, and close the door behind you.
8: Train games are restricted to four players or less.
9: Please limit your cross-gaming - if you're in a game, stay with the game. It finishes faster when players can answer questions, and it feels more satisfying when everyone participates the whole way through.
10: The intersection of Lake-Cook and Hicks has a stopparazzi. Just so's you know.
11: Anyone I've met twice is invited. After that, I'd appreciate a call if strangers are going to come a'callin'.
12: The apartment is only so big. It hasn't happened yet, but I may at some point need to turn new guests away or to negotiate exchanges of people arriving and leaving.
Friday Schedule:
6PM: Doors officially open. (There will be one or two parties exempt from this minimum - they will be advised privately.) Maplescotchies will be served.
9PM: Super Smash Brothers Brawl tournament to award the Friday Night GoH Game Go! Shirt. (Yes, I'm my own guest of honor. I graciously accepted my invitation to appear.) I will play in the tournament, but cannot win the shirt. I may institute some level of gamerskill handicapping, if appropriate (and feasible).
Whenever: I get too tired and kick people out. WARNING: I have no crash space for in-town guests. (If you're an out-of-town guest, talk to me.)
Saturday Schedule:
9-FREAKING-A-M: The Saturday Breakfast at Walker's, in Palatine on Dundee. Please let me know by Friday if you plan to attend.
11AM: Game of Android starts, the Saturday GoH Game Go! competition. This seats five players - a lottery of interested players will be conducted if there are more than four applicants, with preference in said lottery to anyone who has downloaded the PDF of the rules from the Fantasy Flight website (or has otherwise read the rules in advance).
6PM: Dinner is served. It is spaghetti with meat sauce (in two spice levels) and either garlic bread or butter dips (a nice breadstick my Mom makes). Chinet will be used to facilitate all guests eating concurrently.
Whenever: I get too tired and kick people out.
Sunday Schedule:
12Noon: Game of Paranoia starts, with myself as GM. This is the Sunday GoH Game Go! competition. I will seat six players for the game, on a lottery basis. Those not selected for play may be asked to assist in GMing responsibilities, if willing.
6PM: A live-action version of the Cheapass Game GET OUT! will be conducted.
