Flitterkill November 30, 2013 Share Flitterkill November 30, 2013 So, it would appear to be that time again. Turkeys annihilated... Footballs watched... Fridays appropriately blackened... Consensus from those attending in 2013 was that a good time was had by all. The all could and should have been much larger. Will starting earlier and getting confirms earlier make it bigger? The sooner we get commitments makes the event better all around. More peoples equals more (read: greater than one) sponsors, better swaggening, more games, and so on and so forth. No polls or anything yet but please do voice willingness to attend such festivities as may be planned, peoples coerced into attending besides yourself. You get the idea. Black Wolf Hall met with much approval minus the cooling which we've been promised would be dealt with. But location is still wide open. As are the dates (assume mid-June through first week of August as viable). Have at it. -Fk PS: Design subject to change, etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaRvIn November 30, 2013 Share MaRvIn November 30, 2013 (edited) I feel like having it at the Black Wolf Hall is a big turn off for most people due to the fact they are leaving their comps somewhere they don't know. Plus, last year the man said the cooling issue would have been taken care of when we got there and it wasn't also another minus for that. The perk of being at a hotel is that rooms are right there. No wasting gas back and forth. What is the pricing and stuff for the hall so I can get an idea of I should shoot for. As for the logo, I don't really understand the deer/scorpion thing in the middle.

Leonebluen November 30, 2013 Share Leonebluen November 30, 2013 (edited) I also like the idea of having it at a hotel so that intoxication isn't a danger. I'd very much like to go but we'll see if I can get work off. Basically +1 Marvin's post. Edited November 30, 2013 by Leonebluen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flitterkill November 30, 2013 Author Share Flitterkill November 30, 2013 As for the logo, I don't really understand the deer/scorpion thing in the middle. And you never will.... Location is absolutely open for discussion and hotel-based venues have a lot of upside but there are a couple of hitches, some harsher than others. Cost is generally gonna be more for less space. Restrictions, often severe, on food/drink in the meeting space. At BWH you could drink and eat whatever whenever. At hotels you may be restricted to a small hospitality space for any food not provided by the hotel *and* there may even be straight up prohibitions on alcohol completely unless security and/or bartenders (paid of course) are present. Also curfews are not entirely uncommon... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaRvIn December 1, 2013 Share MaRvIn December 1, 2013 This coming week around Friday I should have a small list of place and prices. The Clarion before never gave any issue with us bringing drinks, food and how long we stayed in any of the rooms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Girlzilla December 1, 2013 Share Girlzilla December 1, 2013 Agree with Marvin about hotel > Black Wolf Hall. If it's not at a hotel, Jack and I most likely not coming. Also, with the T-shirt: I think the deer / scorpion thing is stupid and ugly. What's the point of having a logo if nobody gets it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaRvIn December 2, 2013 Share MaRvIn December 2, 2013 I do agree with Zilla about the logo. We should maybe change the logo and have a cool little phrase to go along with it, like we did in past FFOs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaftiel December 2, 2013 Share shaftiel December 2, 2013 Shrug. I like the logo. The very fact that its inexplicable makes it that much more appealing for me. I do prefer a hotel, and quite frankly, even if we get double the attendees, we really wont need that large of a space. The only issues I see regarding a hotel is curfew and food/drinks. If I am flying halfway across the country I damn well want to be able to hang out all weekend 24/7 if I want to. Shaftiel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonebluen December 2, 2013 Share Leonebluen December 2, 2013 For an alternative logo idea, what about the outline of a CS player frag'ing a zombie? To me, it seems fitting. CS and L4D are the most popular games in this community, and the frag grenade is obviously relevant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crasx December 2, 2013 Share crasx December 2, 2013 I love how our biggest concern is the shirt, and the frag should be a creeper head any thoughts on location? Is it def going to be ohio near fatty and yer mother? If we consider other places like chicago we would need to factor in higher prices and whatnot, but we would be closer to a main airport.
