Ok so I have relocated to Albany for work related reasons. I am still trying to get Sunday Tournaments in Syracuse done and that may happen soon as I just heard back from the people I am in contact with.

I have a place on central Ave. in Albany New York that will allow me to hold a tournament there I just need to know if there is enough of a playerbase to book it every week or at all. It would be Saturday nights (5:30 - 11:00)the entry fee would be 5 or 10$ depending on the prize support wanted from the player base. Events would be sanctioned by the third week of the events. If you are in the Albany area and think this would be good for you or something you could suport weekly reply to the thread and if I have the support I will need to do this I will try and get it set up ASAP.

Heya Bob, welcome back to the area. Just to let ya know, Science and Hobby is more than willing to hold events as well, but with little to no player base around here anymore, no one will show up consistantly to even have it sanctioned (Dee can have it sanctioned the first time we have 8 people to play).

I will come to these on a consistent basis. I will bring 1-2 minions with me.

Make them around the Gamer's guild area. You will get players if it's in that area, alot of people will come back. Albany is a good hour away for alot of us, and just too far.

I would be interesting in showing up when I could - either at Central, Sci and Hob, or in the old Guild area.

BTW, is the place on Central the new Flights of Fantasy store?

Basically. There is a large group of people from Saratoga that would be interested in these tournaments, but won't drive all the way to Albany.

No, the place on Central is probably Zombie Planet.

I'm lazy. Where on Central is that? Hopefully it's at a really bad part :(

Not really it's between Wolf and Osbourne, but it's across from a KFC (It's a win there!)

So I may be attending SUNY Albany next year so I would probably show up and actually start playing again if there was a place near bye.

I'd hit up big Albany tournaments, but nothing too small, I'm not gunna risk my life on the harsh, crime infested streets of New York's capital just to play a small game of Magic.

In general Shane, what's good for you is bad for us. You kinda live in the other direction from alot of people. What could be good for you... could leave those Saratoga people not coming.

And the same is in reverse Nick, not everyone lives in the Ozarks that is Toga. Anyway Central Ave is in ALBANY.

Bob: It's your choice man, I don't care, I just want some sort of tourney again.

I am in Loudonville without a vehicle so don't make it too far. Cabs get pricey quickly.

ZP isn't too far from you Cait, and at least it's not FoF, that's all you've got to worry about. The people over at Zombie Planet are pretty nice, and it just so happens to be right down the street from an excellent place to take banjo lessons :wink: Stupidly though, the Rt. 9 bus doesn't run on Weekends, so you'll have to find someone to give you a ride. But it's like 2 miles, so I'm sure you can find someone :smile:

I'd go, 'cept I don't live in Albany anymore.

At 2 miles I could walk it easily under an hour. Good exercise. I just have find a route through mostly rural districts. Oh, and you'll need to lend me a deck.

Okay, I lied, it's probably more like 4 miles. Walk down Route 9 almost a mile and turn right on Osborne, go down two miles and turn right onto Sand Creek rd, take that like 5 blocks down and turn onto Frederick Ave which will take you right to Central Ave, just across the street from ZP.

Why are we not PMing each other about this?

Its Zombie Planet, I talked to the owner briefly he was like you can use the upstairs whenever for events I was like cool. Tho what I am hearing is that we will get like 4-6 peeps to play generally a waste of time...I am not sure anywhere in clifton Park where we could have a tourny. Where is Sci and Hobby and what days is that 'supposed to happen'?

Well, I've been trying to hold it Saturday Nights from about 5 - 9/10 ish. It's in Watervielt about a block away from the intersection of R-32 and R-2.

That's the origonal Thread for the topic, it also has a map and thier Website.

Friday is a no-go since FNM happens that night, and Sunday is R/C Racing day almost all of the rooms are full so there would be very little room for us.

Sorry for necroing* this, but I'm definitely going to make an effort to attend S&H or the Planet pretty soon. I havn't played 1.5 in like, forever.

*Is it really a necro if it's two days? I figured I'd better be safe than sorry.
