-O- agreed with Flayming Man, and said we probably have enough expertise in setting stuff on fire to burn a Tiger in effigy, or something.
Started an attendee list in the first post. At this point I'm leaning towardJune 12-14 orJune 26-28, with a day or two optional on either end. The latter set of dates might be too close to 4th of July, though.
...or would people WANT to come on the weekend of the 4th? Fireworks are illegal in KCMO, though, so it wouldn't bemuch ofthat sort of party.Last edited by Mr. Flay on Fri Aug 22, 2008 8:26 am, edited 3 times in total.Retired as of October 2014.-

Well, now that Beach Bash has picked its dates our most popular option is out, yes. I'm going to talk to Orbiting over lunch, but we'll probably move it a week later to the 4th of July holiday. May was out for a lot of people...Isn't this the same days as Yos's beach bash?Retired as of October 2014.-

Right, so eating at one of the old Mafia dens in town is on the roster...burning a Tiger in effigy... what ELSE do people want to do? Given enough warning, lots of stuff can happen, but I need to know what people want besides Mafia, some board games, and enough food/crash space to keep from dying.Retired as of October 2014.-

Got it fixed, thanks MoS.
For those who are more interested in board games, I finally finished updating our collection on BGG: http://boardgamegeek.com/collection/use ... own=1&ff=1
Hopefully another couple will be there by the time July rolls around, but those are ones you won't need to bring.Retired as of October 2014.-

We can probably borrow TTR:Europe from some friends, but if you want to bring it regardless, that'll simplify things. Definitely AGOT and SOC, and probably the Munchkin expansion. Don't bother with Balderdash - we have it.Mastermind of Sin wrote:A Game of Thrones (George R.R. Martin)
Risk: Godstorm
Balderdash
Settlers of Catan (Regular, Cities & Knights, and Seafarer's, + 5-6 player expansions for the first two)
Ticket to Ride: Europe
Munchkin (The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly expansion)
Cranium
Ticket to Ride: Europe is only lower on the list because you already have Ticket to Ride. I think the Europe game is way better, but I bumped Balderdash and Settlers up the list for variety.
Ye gods Thesp - 436 games?!? The ones that jump out to me are Railroad Tycoon, Khet in any form, The Great Dalmuti (or Tichu), Scotland Yard and Hoity Toity. If you want to bring classic Stratego too that might be good, all we have is the Transformers edition. Cthulhu Rising and the Arkham Horror set might be good too... that's just the stuff you've rated 8 or higher, though.Retired as of October 2014.-

Just a little over a month to go. If some of the people with question marks/percentages in the first post can firm up whether or not they are coming, that that would most excellent.
We're planning on making floor space available for those who don't want hotels, and can probably even put up the tent in the back yard if you don't mind the dogs snuffling at your door at 7AM. Also, it's bloody hot here in July so sleeping outside is not for the faint of heart. I figure most people will be floor-crashing, when they sleep at all.
Foodwise, we've got a couple of excellent local restaurants we like to take people to (sushi, pub-style, and pizza in particular), and were otherwise planning on doing pizza and sandwich fixings, maybe ordering in. We haven't hosted a meetup for this many people before so let me know if you'd rather roll a different way... I'm not planning on any outings to Worlds of Fun (local amusement park) or other 'tourist traps' unless people pipe up!
The tiger for burning in effigy is already being planned.Retired as of October 2014.-

No problem at all. We'll plan to have somebody there with a PEEJ sign to pick you up. PM me what airline and flight, if you don't mind. We may be a few minutes late, depending on how long it takes to get to the airport from work. Might be closer to 6.petroleumjelly wrote:Flay, if my travel plans don't change then I should be arriving in Kansas City (MCI) at 5:40 p.m. on July 2 (Thursday). Looks like I'll be departing at 4:36 p.m. on July 5 (Sunday). I would love a ride if you're offering!
No wrenches at all! That's great news... I figure the Springfield Mob is necessary to a healthy fest at this point. Just helps us plan how much space/food to have on hand...MeMe wrote:The last three are close to 100% (it will be part of their road trip extravaganza) and Atticus & I are more like 90% (dependent on summer classes and a couple other potential obstacles). I'll see Yoko on Wednesday, it's possible he'll tag along too. So...does this throw too big a wrench in the plans?
Also, the first stage of the Tiger In Effigy project is complete, for those who were wavering on whether or not to come:
My roommate and I are in discussions about how to utilize her Class B Fireworks license to not just burn it, but possibly explode it. Details to follow...-

Yes I do. Also my friends with the Ticket to Ride set will be bringing/loaning theirs, so nobody needs to bring that if they're cramped for space.mith wrote:Request List:

If you want to bring some, MoS, that'd be great. I have no idea what it is but the stuff is legendary by now...
PJ: We've got Almond Roca in this part of the world, but don't let that stop you. Actually, if you can bring something from Pike Place Market that might be even better... but whatever, it's all good.
I'm sending basic directions to those who are mostly-confirmed as coming now. If you need more directions later or aren't included in this pass, just let me know.-

No, although we used to and there's still some former hairs lying around. The house is mostly hardwood though so there shouldn't be much dander left after almost two years. Bring your pills, but I don't expect it'll be a big problem.mith wrote:Oh, also, I was going to ask: I believe you mentioned a dog/multiple dogs, Flay? You don't have any cats, do you?
Speaking of which, is anybody who's coming have dietary restrictions (veg*, no dairy, etc)? We're planning on eating on the cheap (CostCo, here we come) except when/if we decide to go out, but we can accommodate most things if we know ahead of time.
Pooks, are you seriously coming? I'll probably sleep minimally, though I'm getting old and gray.-

Besides PJ, Phoebus, and Pooky, is anybody else flying in and going to need a ride? I've got Pooky flying in Friday morning so if there will be other arrivals around 9AM, we can wait for you... we're picking up PJ Thursday night, and Phoebus has made other arrangements, at least for arriving.

Also, since MoS and sam.samhorn are probably not going to be able to come anymore, is anyone wanting to add these to what they're bringing? I've taken them off the list on the wiki...
I'm certain we have plenty, I just didn't know if we'd dropped some duplicates and would miss them now that some people's ability to come has changed.* Coloretto
* Cranium Hoopla
* A Game of Thrones
* Intrigue
* Illuminati
* Mu and Mehr
* Munchkin: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
* Risk: Godstorm
* The Settlers of Catan + Expansions
Thesp, if you've got room, Orbiting would probably like A Game of Thrones, which I see is in your collection. I don't know much about the rest, though Illuminati is good for when you're stupid-tired (or drunk) and we've got several RISKs already.-

Changed the night we're planning on eating out because my stupid brain forgot that going out to eat on the4th of Julyis not really feasible, especially with this size of group. So we'll go Friday instead,unless someone is expecting to arrive at the house Friday around dinner time. Then we'll have to either leave you a note or reschedule, or some third thing...
Also, I'm planning on putting up a whiteboard for people to record game victories on; the person with the most victories by sundown Saturday gets the honor of lighting up the tiger!-

It was a pleasure to host everybody, even if it was mostly on the floors (for those who slept at all), and you guys were NO trouble at all. My only regret is that we massively overbought for food (forgetting that gamers generally prefer to snack rather than sit-down-and-eat), so we're having tacos and eggs for the next week.Retired as of October 2014.-
