Of course I'll respect your wish BUT my point was three days after opening most of your events are full, which is a great thing, though I think there are still people who would enjoy the ability to play but cannot because of how fast the tables are filling.
True, but events fill up even at big cons like GenCon, and they host, what, ten thousand guests?
And honestly, it's been a while since we've had a Gameday where this many events filled up this soon.
We've only rarely gotten over fifty gamers for the busier gamedays in the eight and a half years since it all got started.
What Mark said. I totally understand Ronin's frustration at events filling up; that's why I send out advance notice of sign-up "go live" so that people can get a jump on events they really want. But the fact is that our beloved venue, Games Plus, is more than enough room for the number of people we typically host. It's also the only venue I can think of that is free and has an awesome game store attached to it.
And Mark is right about voicing suggestions during event planning. If you feel there are typically not enough, say, D&D 3.5 events, you are welcome to post in the planning threads and say so.
(FWIW, though, polls that I've done in the past showed that respondents were pretty agnostic about game selection. People seem pretty happy to play a wide variety of games.)
I know you don't want to clutter this thread with meta-talk Buzz, but is there a place people like Ronin84 and others who "would enjoy the ability to play but cannot because of how fast the tables are filling" can provide feedback to give a better gauge for how many people are "left out" each Gameday?
People can always email me (buzz[at]buzzmo[dot]com). I could also set up a comment thread over on the
Gameday website. I guess I could set up an ENowlrd group as well, if people feel that would be helpful.
