It's starting to sound like we can at least staff a partial track; you might
want to revisit it with the organizers. At the very least, let's try and
get all the games in the same place and maybe try for a consistent time
slot. (Room X from noon-8 every day, or something like that)
Chris Weeks - ?? hours, Brik Wars
James Seibert - 16+ hours, Brik Wars, Pirate Wars
Frank Filz - ?? hours, Pirate Game
James Brown - 8 hours, Lego Wars: TSV & FBA (For Big Armies, coming soon)
Possible others (not yet contacted, no idea of availability):
Steve Jackson - Pirate Game
Stephen Gabriel - Pirate Wars
Does someone know Steve Jackson well enough to ask him? I'm willing to fire
him an e-mail, but he doesn't know me from Adam. My experience with
well-known folks is that if they don't know you from Adam, you get filed
with all the other nutbars they get e-mail from. :)
Another thing we might want to do is contact LD, and see if they will donate
some prizes or (IMHO, a better plan) sacrifice some K8's to the cause and
have an open play area. Nothing like a big tub o' parts if we want crowd
appeal. Or heck, both. :) One thing an open play area would let us do is
add a "Junk Yard Wars"-style event to the track, which would add to the
'walk-in and stay' power.

| (...) I'm thinking about coming... can't commit yet but if I did I could run a Mechaton session for 4 hours if there was interest. Fun beer and pretzels game. Possibly combine it with the jumping frog game to fill out the track? (21 years ago, 25-Feb-03, to lugnet.gaming)
