Message: <blockquote data-quote="Django" data-source="post: 2504207" data-attributes="member: 19866">My God .... poor ventilation .... the horror.I was at a con one extended weekend many years ago that had, as one of it's featured events, a mammoth game of Diplomacy that was slated to play the whole weekend in one huge orgy of negotiation and empire building. They had mapped out the entire world on a table that was easily 10x20 (feet!!). It was amazing. I went in there on Friday evening and watched for a while, intrigued by the different play styles of the players present. And there were a -lot- of players (maybe 20 or so). It was pretty damn cool, actually....On Sunday morning, I decided to head over to see how the game was going. I couldn't even make it into the room. The pong of sweaty geek was literally hanging in the air like some kind of invisible spider-web of stink. I gagged and made my way outside, desperate for fresh air. Luckily, I made it.This is why I don't go to cons. I can still remember that unholy stench as clearly as if it had happened just yesterday.</blockquote>
