No offense taken; no, I haven't followed that thread.

Hi,

From memory, the Acaeum dinner didn't finish until gone 10pm last time. Add on another half hour to get back to the Con site, then messing about - so we would start at 23:00 hours?

I hate to sound old, but isn't that rather late, especially for those of us who will still be jet-lagged?  

Cheers,
Malc

Well I obviously wont be there so I have no stake in the outcome.  But wouldnt it be simpler just to do what we did last year for Frank's game and have it during the afternoon on Friday or Saturday?  Seemed to work pretty well for all involved.

Friday might work; Thursday would probably be even better, but I don't know if that works for any of you.
Let me think about this awhile and I'll post again tonight after I get back from my PT job. I'll try to predict my Auction obligation.

OK, you twisted my arm. I am in. If there is room for one more. I assure you, I can get my character killed like the best of them.

Oooooooh Friday possibly?  

Crap, I signed up for the Hickman XDM Seminar from 2-4(ish) so that may keep me out of contention.  I've definitely got to plan on more days next year to fit all this in.

personally i would vote for thursday, right after noon (this way a trip through the dealer area can be had, followed by lunch, followed by our characters being defenestrated by tim (oh, i shouldn't give him ideas should i......).

Defenestration is too quick, too easy and not nearly painful or humiliating enough.
Now slow boiling (kind of a hot marinade) in oil over a very low fire, or having some sort of larvae inserted into your ear canal or other avialable orifice, or perhaps a nice long, loving skin-peeling (most assuredly not the type for hiding aging), or, one of my all time favorites , strapping a hapless adventurer to a large spinning wheel set horizontally, giving it a spin and opening the stopcock of the vat of acid overhead, allowing one drip every so often to fall. Will it hit them this time? Next time? Face, legs???? Sort of a Wheel of Misfortune.. bwuuuhahahaha!

Thursday works for me.

Interesting... from my first megadungeon, back in the late '70s: 60' dia. round room, domed 40' top w/5' hole in center, roulette wheel filling the bottom, treasure (crown or something) atop center. Wheel spins as long as you hang onto the center, and if you survive a few bounces of the 5' steel ball that drops down (deadly, roll bounce slot randomly), you win the prize. (The ball dissolves 5r later, & various other safeguards.)
