The other 50 be donated to the wonderful non-profit organization..."Decatur Gamers." This will also assist in the gathering funds to keep the website. Oh yah! I love the idea...I am in.

makphist0 Group Organizer Cerro Gordo, IL Post #: 405	I'm ok with scoffing the law. Still, I kinda like the 50/50 idea as a fundraiser!

Ricomaurer Argenta, IL Post #: 162	I imagine as long as we keep this thing in house and nobody goes blabbing to the country clerk, we could hold such an event.

makphist0 Group Organizer Cerro Gordo, IL Post #: 408	Yeah, I say we move forward. I want to revise my original idea. I originally thought it would be fun if everyone brought in quarters to play, but I think that will end up being a PITA. So I think we should just play with gaming coins (so we have that "real" feel), but everyone will just add cash to the "Inn". Some details we need to work out: Where do we play? We'll need a private residence. We could do this at my house, but I think we might have better luck somewhere in the immediate Decatur area. How do we do alcohol content? Since we don't want anyone to get hammered, I'm thinking we use "light" beverages in a small cup per in-game alcohol content. Do we pre-choose personas or do we have them randomly selected at the start of the game? I think that we should have a game moderator; someone to run the inn, bank, and be rules judge. If no one objects, I'll do that - let someone else have a spot at the table. I'm diggin' this idea!
