I understand that travel is probably much easier to the major cities, but I always kinda thought it would be cool to have them in places off the beaten path, but still perhaps close enough that people could generally get to them...

No one seems to have mentioned that maybe the PMs tried to get it done in Chicago but couldn't get approval from the cemetaries, or couldn't find a decent spread of tombstones to hold the game with?

Even though I live in Missouri, I'm shocked that it wasn't put in Chicago as well.

I can imagine [as someone said before] that some cemetaries aren't thrilled with the thought of "a bunch of ARGers running around and screaming their heads off", maybe no one in Chicago has a sense of humor about it?

Oh man, and don't forget the euchre marathons from Lockjaw ...

I think my ass is still sore from that one Wednesday I played for three hours, dispensing clues. I had serious flashbacks yesterday when a few of us did that private game with Lucky. The same kind of sense of pacing - unfortunately, in Euchre you can't exactly fold, and since you're partnered, it's not like you can coordinate cheating if you're also role-playing and trying not to typo your clues. Smile

I'm just glad I'm not getting blamed for the sleepdeprivation this time!

104 of those 900 posts per minute are yours, phae. heh.

Hmm...the wheels are spinning here. I might actually be able to go to the KC event. It's only half of what the drive was to Chicago this past May. I could do it in 7 hours, sure!

...

Yeah, still stretching to rationalize going from Denton to Kansas City to play a game in a graveyard.

I'm willing to bet KC has some historic/plot-driven/in-game significance.
Not to mention world-famous barbecue.

j5, my old friend, you got me prowling around. Who knows what fate has in store for us, but I did find out that in a certain Elmwood cemetery, there's a distinguished gentleman buried who is indirectly related to the game of poker:
