Weekly gaming nights at CHG

I'd like to set up a weekly gaming night for Fantasy and/or 40K but I don't want to just dictate a night. This would be a night where the general consensus is the best night to get together. This way when I have new people coming in I can say "TUESDAY is our local gaming night".

Maybe Wildeyed could set up a poll for which night would be a good night to do this. This way we could set up an informal "club" night. If anybody wants to make it formal where we could sit around and hash out games and rules I wouldn't be opposed to ordering pizza for the night.

Any ideas?

Done.

Thanks, Jester

I voted Saturday. Feel free to discard that if necessary. It's the night I'd most likely to be able to play, but it's like the difference between a 10% and 20% chance :-P

I voted for the two secondary nights I can usually get free. I'm all for one of those days.

My biggest concern is picking a night that's not a big MtG night at the shop. I understand that they are a huge player base, and I don't want to offend anyone, but they can get a little rowdy. I think picking a 'quiet' night for the shop to host a GW gaming night would have the biggest boon.

I voted Tuesday and/or Thursday, as they probably shouldn't be busy nights for CHG and it enables persons needing a kitchen pass (guilty), to not get a "You were there yesterday!" answer. Also it fills the void that Hobbytown left after Tuesday night game night shut down. T-Top gaming night is a great idea.

That's exactly why Tuesday and Thursday would be 0% chance for me. I'm already there every Wednesday, but like I said, My vote probably shouldn't count for much as I don't want to lobby for my choice and then never show up

Sorry you left tonight before I got a chance to talk; I believe the little lady was urging you to leave. I was in the middle of a nasty computer error, trying mostly to lend moral support and lame advice.

The MTG crowd was definitely in a rowdy mood tonight. Too many "F" bombs were dropped to suit me. I'm no prude; but I am trying to run a family-friendly business. I made mention of the issue to the MTG judge.

Back on track: Saturdays are not good for me; I am GM'ing a shop approved RPG; Dark Heresy. I would prefer to be in on the action in one form or another. I am giving up my RPG'ing for tomorrow but I'd rather not give it up permanently.

Doh! I accidentally closed the poll, and don't seem to be able to reopen it. I guess as a mod I need to watch those errant clicks... I'm not trying to sabotage it now that my favorite day is out, really!

I PMd Wildeyedjester, so hopefully he can fix my mistake

Incidentally, if Saturday is out, then Friday would be my pick.

Thursday or Sunday might be doable once in a while, but Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday are right out. I've got stuff scheduled on Monday and Wednesday, and gaming three days in a row more than once or twice a year would result in hefty legal bills being paid to divorce attorneys

No Worries. Re-opened.

Thanks!

Content I can try and ignore, but really it's the volume. I think a general "inside voices" rule would solve most of my issues.

Standing across a four foot gaming table and being unable to hear my opponent because of the general volume from the MTG area is a bit hard.

Do u think i will have to wait a long time to get a gaming table?

Generally not; it is best to get a game scheduled with an opponent, though.

You might also let your opponent know you are much younger than most of us.

I understand volume is an issue. But it is an issue there is not much I can do about. When you have 40 people or more stuffed in a room not much larger than 20 by 30 you might have to resort to talking to your opponent on a cell phone.

Usually the volume is not that bad. It seems the times you have been there lately it has been very loud.

Cursing is an issue with me, volume; within a degree of reason, is not. If certain people start yelling at others they have been asked to calm down. Not much more I can do about the outbursts rather than tell that person he can't come around the shop. Once I go down that road it isn't too long before I turn the lights out for the last time one evening after I ask one person too many to leave the shop.

I am sure none of us wants that. Hopefully we can all work together reasonably to resolve any issues that crop up.

I've been gaming in CHG for many moons and i've never had to wait for a space there.

Plenty of tables, plenty o'space

And we can always make more tables with the space we have. We have lots of 4'x8' plywood that we can lay down on sawhorses to make 5 or so more tables. I believe we have had 8 tables set up at once for Warhammer events.

Was anything decided on this? Just curious.

I haven't gotten the poll results as of yet.

Has enough time gone by to get everyone involved who plays regularly at CHG?

I'm an idiot. Disregard my ignorance of the "View results" button.

Tuesdays are going to be the official Warhammer Game night at CHG.

This will be announced on our FB page as well as our new website page.

I am going to announce a 5:00 start time. This is just an informal start time that does not have to be adhered to. It is just a time that I can tell new people that we begin at.

Thanks for the poll, Jester.

Thanks to all who voted.
