The owner was all gung ho and for it at first. Magic was mostly being played in the shop and he said he wanted to branch out. I posted on his forums and came in and made sure he put up the posters and every thing. I got a full  group for the first couple weeks. Then the shop was closed on the game night without anyone being told. The owner was not letting anyone know the games where happening and obviously did not care that they where going on. so we got fewer and fewer players. One night after one of the games he told us oh by the way next week you need to find somewhere else to play at. So that was that.A new FLGS opened in the area. I let the owner know i was interested in encounters he was also interested. he told everyone it was going on he still does. We started with one full table and now we have 2 to 3 tables every week.It all has to do with the effort the store puts behind it. if the workers/owners do not care people wont show up. When they care and want to succeed even when your out in the sticks like I am you can easily get a solid night going.</blockquote>
