H'okay, so...
The Dojo up north actually hired a 40k guy (well, GW in particular). I actually know the guy, and he's good people, which is a good start. Secondly, PRIZE SUPPORT.
I probably should have put that first, because you all are money-hungry whores, but, whatevs.
It's kicking off with an escalation league, if anyone is interested. It starts yesterday. HA! Suckers. But there is a secondary day tomorrow, at 6 pm. My understanding is that it will run weekly, Thurs/Sat nights, at 6 pm for either. Game one is 600 points, no flyers. Not sure how long it runs, or to what size, but hey, do it. Go.
This one's a freebie, and I don't think has prizes, but.
Monthly tournaments are in the works. One for 40k, one for Fantasy. The idea, at this point, is something like a $10 buy in, and then the store will kick in an extra 70% in PHAT CASH PRIZES. So we get 10 players, there's a total of $170 in support. HOLY CRAP IT"S LIKE THIS STORE WANTS PEOPLE TO COME IN AND PLAY THEIR EVENTS.
Did I mention it's a BYOB establishment? So we can still get drunk and pantomime (hope you saw the air quotes) reach-arounds under the gaming tables.
I personally would love to see this take off, in addition to whatever we, as a group, contrive. It'd be cool for those with a more competitive spirit (read, A-holes with penis envy), a chance to grow our own community, and a chance to show them all that our community is boss (we should totally get T-shirts).
