[QUOTE="Mark CMG, post: 2516943, member: 10479"] No offense, FickleGM, but this would probably work best with someone starting the thread who can stay on top of it, who will take on the mantle of coordinating it (including getting the permits and organizing whatever games will be played). I'm guessing that the [i]real[/i] planning is best left until after the new year once the absolute-official dates of Gencon are announced (we've seen them change before for various reasons but they tend to be set in stone once the printing schedule for their early materials has begun). Also, around that time (January-ish), the core of people who are going to Gencon set their plans and their teeth for planning their trip and schedule overall (they set their yearly vacation at work, make sure they have hotel reservations, etc.). I'm thinking this needs to be coordinated more like a gameday thread with constant updates to the initial post in the thread as duties are distributed and volunteers step up. It's likely also that only an Indianapolis resident can secure a permit to use a municiple park facility, but I could be wrong. Whoever secures the permit really needs to be an integral part of this, perhaps the overall coordinator, because if that person flakes the whole thing has a chance of falling away like a house of cards. We don't want that when the event would be a big one, perhaps most of a day, for possibly up to 50 or so people. Not living in Indianapolis, I'm not the guy for the overall coordinator position. However, I would suggest also that this be a Saturday thing, as it would be post-ENnies and might be a good way to enjoy the day after, what for many would be, a late night. Something on the order of a 10am - 4pm scheduling, allowing for ENnies goers to sleep in a bit but also ending in time for those who will need to get ready for whatever Saturday evening plans they have.
