I think you guys are missing the point of the poker tournament. It's meant to be a fundraiser to support the Con itself. The Con use to be free until last year we had a guest. A lot of people complained that they wanted to attend the Con but weren't really interested in buying the CD. Now I devised a way to ease the burden on the attendees by allowing them to have food for free. If we do have a guest then the cost would be nominal instead of people paying entrance PLUS food. There will be no special privileges for people that paid to play in the poker game as far as the con itself. When you pay for game, you're already paying for your night to play poker, food and drinks for that night and at the Con, plus a chance to win some great prizes. Why do you people would believe we would owe you any more than that?
As of now the $30 buy in will only pay for the prizes and the food for both days. That's all it can cover. I'm asking if people would like to up it, so we can get some extra perks. if not then we'll stick to that price. There's not going to be any extra money for next years con. Anything extra will be used for the Con itself. Whether it be for the guest or any supplies needed.
As far as having an entrance fee for the Con itself, that's up to Solscud, that's his baby!
And if you guys really want to know what the prizes will be I'll go ahead and reveal it, tentatively! I wanted to reveal it during the game but whatever...:
first place: 1/48 VF-1J and GBP armor Bundle (already pre-ordered)
second place: 1/60 VF-0 Focker (already pre-ordered)
third place: 1/6 scale Hikaru figure (not available yet, but is scheduled to ship in April)
So do you guys think you can win those with you poker skillz???
