Over the years I've noticed CPM has also disappeared from the local gaming scene (mostly).  The last time I encountered CPM, it was actually two of them and they absolutely reeked of tobacco and marijuana.  Had I been running the game they sat and I would have tried to find the most polite way of telling them to get lost.  Their stench bowled me over and I would not have willingly sat next to them for 3-4 hours.  I've also noticed a lack of butt crack man as well.  I could be counted on to see many butt cracks at the game store but they all disappeared sometime after 2012 or so.  It's not just con rules, I think gamers have changed. Noise was a problem for me in the Mendota rooms and that new building as well.  I only had one game in a big hall, Arkham Horror was in the same hall as Wardens of the March, and that was the only game I played where noise wasn't an issue.  I had one last game scheduled in the other building Saturday night, but I just didn't feel like dealing with the noise and left early instead.Nobody checked my tickets at Gamehole Con.  I mentioned this, and one of the GMs said something like, "We don't really do that here.  At Gen Con they're pretty fanatical about checking, but I won't check unless there's more bodies at the table than I expect."</blockquote>
