After all that talk about the Herbig project and now you arn't even gona go! Wow, I didn't think the Herbig project could get any lamer, but well there it is.

I'm so glad that no one is making any stupid posts in this thread.

Guys, awful news. How You Play the Game (formerly Altered States), has just failed a fire inspection, and is closed until further notice. The event is going to be postponed indefinately. Sorry to you all who have made plans to attend. More info is to come. Thanks.

Here's a copy of the PM that I got.

Matt,
We had a visit from the Fire Inspector today at the store. It didn't go very well. WE HAVE TO CLOSE OUR EVENT AREA UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE! I e-mailed Kadilack but when I went to edit the thread I saw it was "stickyed" . Could you post that the event is postponed and/or moved? I want to get the word out ASAP so players can change plans. Yea, this sucks.
Nate, event coordinator
Play the Game, Read the Story

Damn, I wish that this was some sort of elaborate prank, but I think it's the real deal.

NICK C. Gimme my Bayous back!

You can't be serious about this. Please tell me you are joking. And if you wanted maybe the tournement could be held in Rochester? I'm sure Ed Fear would let that happen.

...wow.

That sucks.....bad.

Ed Fear wouldn't happen to want to take this tourny under the Millenium roof only a couple days prior, would he?


Or anywhere else where this could be held? Amrod's? Fuck, I dunno. This shit is gay. Altered States is gay.

Tell Ed that you have some poker players in the group. He doesn't mind losing, but he won't give his money away. If you can get 6-8 players to keep him occupied on the back room table, he may let you run something like this. I can't go, or I'd skip the tourney to empty his wallet again. Just find someone from Altered States to run it.

Bump so all see the bad news. :(

Atleast now I don't feel so bad about my plans falling apart.

I know a place we could hold this but i doubt befor anyone reads this post that we'll get an answer from kaddy Message me ill toss yah my cell tommarow!

This definately sucks. Play the Game Read the Story, formerly How You Play the Game, formerly Altered States should have had their shit together instead of spending so much time coming up with names. I think we should definately try to find a place to hold this quick. Everyone was really looking forward to this.

Even though Amrod is out, could somebody call the owner of Tri-County to lease out the food court. I'd throw a couple extra dollars in with my entry fee in order to have this go down.

Something is in the works...

We all are waiting.

I'm all for having this held in worcester.

I wasn't particularly looking foward to this, but it's still some seriously gay bullshit.

We should all go vandalize the fire inspector's office in mattydale. Stupid fucker.

Wow, that's weak. I was really hoping I could come to this. What's the word on Plan B?

Are we sure PR didn't make a call to the inspector's office to make him check it out right before the tournament? I know he was shaking in his boots about playing me in SF2 and perhaps he got a little desperate. I would have gone easy on you PR. You didn't have to cancel the tournament. Apparently I will never have my chance at defeating you!!!

Ed Fear Most likely cannot host this tournament as i'm fairly certain he is hosting a Yu-Gi-Oh Sneak Peak this weekend, Though ill email him anyway Not that i'm alowd to attend there but i'd hate to see you all get fucked in the End do the Popular belief Jesus is a nice guy if you need a place though I'm Fairly sure i have a semi Guarnteed place in Rochester NY, Might be a lil tight but i'm sure it would do.

*Alright i emailed Ed good luck guys if it doesn't work Out sorry i did my share, Btw i'm going into the National Guard as soon as i can get a few things Finished in chester, Good luck sourcers and god's speed*

I had not heard this info until just now. I have not had power at all today( being Wednesday). I was at Altered States Tuesday night and was not informed of this. Sorry to everyone

Hey, this tournament definately isn't cancelled yet. Hopefully we can find a nice-sized area to get for the day and all will be fine.

Scheduling it a few weeks later on a weekend without a PTQ at the Tri-County place would seriously be the best ending ever coming out of this crap. I've been dying for want of some doughboy's.

Gentlemen,
Ed Fear speaking; I was only just made aware of the situation (3 AM Early Thursday Morning). Here are my comments in order of importance:

1. Whoever thinks they took my money playing poker really needs come on out and ante up. Name the stakes; I'll set up a feature match table and embarrass you in front of your friends (or lose terribly.)

2. I don't know the guys at Altered/game/whatever all that well but the three times I spoke with the owner it made me amazed the guy could stay in business. The last time I was trying as hard as I could to run a Yu-Gi-Oh Regional there. First he demanded a fee. I tried to explain to him that I was going to bring over a hundred Yu-Gi-Oh players and parents into his store and that he would probably make several thousands of dollars in additional sales, but this concept seemed a little out of his reach. I wanted to run some events in Syracuse for the players there because as an Upper Deck employee I felt a responsibility, so I decided I would pay the fee. We had to cancel anyway because he from rescheduling to not having enough space and just being generally rude.
And in a related note, in the hundreds of events other people have run in my store the grand total I have charged them for the space is exactly zero. Hell, I lose money on the majority of tournaments my employees run. I host/run events so that in turn my players have a fun/safe place to play which in turn keeps them playing the game and in theory will lead to additional purchases. Maybe I should charge 50% more for my events and give out store credit for prizes which is only usable on worthless things or as a fraction of its face value. In a shocking move, at Millennium Games, $10 STORE CREDIT is worth $10 CREDIT on anything in the STORE. Shocking. We already took the StarCity Power 9 events and we should have the Magic Pre-Releases soon; there has got to be a limit to the amount of crap Gray Matter can stand. Which might sound like a bad thing to Syracuse Magic players except that it will probably finally put that place out of business so I can open you guys a decent store.
By the way, how in gods name do you fail a fire inspection? I get one about every five years. Here's how the last one went:

INSPECTOR: Mr. Fear you have a couple problems. First of all, you have too many extension cords on the ground back there. Also you need 2 more fire extinguishers located x and y, and all your extinguishers need to be located hanging on posts/walls.

ME: Okay, any recommendations on where to purchase the extinguishers and hooks?

INSPECTOR : (This Place)

ME: Ok, I'll order the stuff right now, and call you when it comes in...

No shut down, no missed events/weekends etc. WTF is going on out there where something like this happens and can't be fixed/resolved in 5-6 days time? Napalm leaks? A family of fire elementals living behind the register?
Sorry if I'm being unfair here, but I literally hear a dozen complaints a week about a store 70 miles away from me. That's almost impressive.


3) Last but not least, the tournament organizer/s can contact me at ed@millenniumgames.com and I can likely accommodate them for this weekend.

Ed

Ed, thanks for paying attention to our tournament woes and making a kind offer. We're trying to keep this as amiable as a last minute cancelation can be - and tempers obviously can get heated - so I took the liberty of removing a few insults about AS from your post.

Imagine living literally right next door to it.

At any rate this is a remarkable turnaround from the events which have unfolded over the last 24 hours. Thank you Ed for that - truly. At any rate, let's get on top of this, shall we?

I think the fire inspection problem probably had to do with how far back the play area is, and that is no exit except the main one. (well, that and I think one more they covered with shit).

As much as I loathe the city of Rochestor, I must give a tip of my hat to Mr. Fear.

So folks.. is this tournament definitely going to be held at Millenium Games and Hobbies in Rochester??? Are any plans definite yet??? I'm assuming those who would need to travel would like to know ASAP... so keep the info coming guys!!!

Well I just sent a pretty nasty e-mail to AS, or, HYPTG, or PTGRTS or whatever the hell it is now, so Mr. Fear, if you would like to open a store in syracuse I would be extremely happy, as the way Chris is I might just be banned from AS anyway now.... And I bet we could still probably get Tri County if we really tried, as that place has absolutely nothing going on in it....but a gaming store is always better in my opinion, so I vote Rochester.

Ugh, I don't. Just for the reason that it makes a 2 hour drive into a 4 hour one. I live north of Albany.

Although I agree 100% that AS needs to get its shit together.

EDIT- This is nothing against Mr. Fear

No the actual thing is that Albany needs to get it's shit together and actually support a store that is willing to deal more with Magic and actually have enough room to support a decent size tourney.

But I'm with the Ghost on this one. 4 hours is too damn long of a trip just to deal with Jesus. I'm voting for the Tri-county Mall too.

@ BigBear: Clear out your damn PM box.

Hey, it could happen! For example, Science & Hobby is moving to a bigger location (and, no, I don't know how big) in Latham (just north of Albany) sometime soon , so it's possible they could host larger Legacy events in the future. Just please be nice about it if you approach them about a larger tournament - the one employee who runs the weekly tournaments sometimes seems to be a little stressed from dealing with Magic players every week, and who can blame them? Kidding! ... sort of.
