    Quoted from vdojaq:

    And that is exactly what I was wondering. Just how many people are in the free play room after 2am?

    Me.....and about 20 other people the last couple years if my memory serves right. Being on midnight's for work, the overnight game room is perfect for me

    Quoted from aobrien5:

    Have I missed the PBL open house details thread?

    Yes. The ticketed party is sold out already.

    I tagged you in the party details thread.

    Quoted from Tilt:

    Rob said $$$, but $10 a game is not much of an incentive, besides the work to break down a machine, take it to a show, set it up, and more than likely break it down again, The work alone isn't worth $10. Not factor in that your game will be on for 72 hours straight, with 10 games, something is bound to go wrong and cost more than what you made on all the games to repair
    [quoted image]

    Youre getting way more than 10 per game. Honestly if youre bringing games with the main point to sell, youre a retailer and should support expo by getting a booth like the other retailers. Then you don't have to worry about the "penalties" and people still get to enjoy the games you bring. Win win win.

    Quoted from cavalier88z24:

    this is false. there has NEVER been some at the registration desk or game hall all night 24 hours with a cash box. first off, the game hall doesn't need a cash box. they are there for game hall registration only. never saw them have a cash box. Registaion ALWAYS has hours posted. it's on the seminar schudule. not 24 hours.
    so you decided to take it upon your self to not follow security guards orders. you need to redeem your groupon tickets. you know that. You just can't walk in the free play hall without a wristband. do you think your better then everybody else? what is the girl at the door checking wristbands suppose to do? force a grown man out that can't follow the rules. maybe you should checked that registration was open at 3a.m. before you drove a hour.
    honestly kudos to security for actually checking wristbands this year. unlike in the years past. funny that this guy is mad. he even stated "I know I didn't have a wristband" lol

    I think he meant guy and cashbox at the Freeplay room entry. Which if I remember correctly there always was after the main table closed.

    Quoted from nitrojcrawf:

    I would have walked in and started playing while she left to call the cops. I would have showed the cops the Groupon ticket and let them make the call.

    Terrible advice.

    Quoted from Gryszzz:

    Haha thanks mar dudes! You know I love you all!
    I think the REAL highlight of Expo this year was getting Target Alpha home and set-up and everything is working. Honestly think I played more games on it than any other new pin I've bought. Last night I played till 4 am. Been up till 4 every night this week THANKS EXPO.

    Glad to hear.....sorry we didn't get to actually meet though. Next time!
