Gamers, as a general rule are one of the most consumer saavy group of customers. We usually know what we want, and when "budgets" are concerned (which they are for everyone these days), we are either going to buy (in which case, nothing is going to stop us from making that purchase) or not going to buy (and nothing would really make us make that purchase).In short, if there were only 10 minutes of "shopping time" compared to the potential 3 hours (1/2 hour before start, 1 hour lunch, 1 1/2 hours after last event) of shopping time, we as gamer will find a way to spend our money. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />As for starting threads later, closer to the actual date, I have been saying that for years. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> But I do think that Buzz and Curt need to keep the practice of setting up the date when they do, becuase the calander does fill up quickly.As for the number of tables, I say if we can fill them up, we should. They are going to fill no matter what and if we "call them" ahead of time, fair and square, that's part of a the "first come, first play" set-up that is the Games Plus backroom. After all, there are other days and other events that do exactly the same thing...and even long term games/groups that seem to have a perpetual lock on rooms at other times. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> Nothing wrong with us dominating the backroom for the ENW Gameday.</blockquote>
