Dan Iacovelli Posted June 8, 2004 Author Share Posted June 8, 2004 there are still plenty of tables left for the show. This year we plan do what we couldn't do last year: raffles,Tourneys(most of it is spy games but I'm working a couple more(one is a returning tourny that never got off the ground last year and one is classic tourney that evrybody wouldlike) there might be other tournerys as well. Also you'll be able to buy a VGS t-shirt and black hat at the show as well (I'm working on getting some type of food for the show as well( as for a gathering after the show(safariland) thats still up in the air)) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Iacovelli Posted June 13, 2004 Author Share Posted June 13, 2004 bumb now counting down to 33 days if you haven't booked your tables please do soon flyers will be going out the neighborhood papers in 2 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Iacovelli Posted June 17, 2004 Author Share Posted June 17, 2004 Ok this it folks: were are looking at a month away from VGS'04 still plenty of tables available. but that might not last: the local pioner press paper by me has again printed up my PR (and Isent it to them last week) the chicago suntimes has also has the show listed in the summer section (nothing about tables,just the location and free admission ) also starting a week before the show (july 9th and 11th) the other local papers is going be having flyers inserted the paper(this wasn't free but If I think what the attendance is going to be I might recoup from T-shirt and hat sales and raffle sales). Video game collector has put a listing of the show in their first issue. (just about the same as the sun times listing) I'll be announcing the tentative schecdule soon.

Crimefighter Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 Can you explain what kind of event this is? Is it just like the Midwest Gaming Classic event in Milwaukee? Or something completely different? Any gaming tournies there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Iacovelli Posted June 17, 2004 Author Share Posted June 17, 2004 Can you explain what kind of event this is? Is it just like the Midwest Gaming Classic event in Milwaukee? Or something completely different? Any gaming tournies there? The video game summit is a video game and computer trade show. this will be our second year so we won't be as big as MGC was. and yes we will have gaming tourneys (as of right now most will be Atari biased) our biggest tourney so far will be the Spy game tourney based on the mole tv show on abc.(look under contest topic subject Atari video club high score contest) Ihope to have schedule leased some time soon.

Crimefighter Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 Err....how do you do the MOLE in a high score contest? Is someone just gonna deliberately distract the other players so they mess up...is that how it goes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Iacovelli Posted June 17, 2004 Author Share Posted June 17, 2004 the object of spy games is basicly to get a combined high score selected by the host(me). The spy object is to throw the game. EI: say a selcected high score for round 1 is 100,000 combined of all the participatants, the spy can make sure that won't happen by not getting a score that wont come close to it. Aquiz at the end of round about the game being used and the players will decide who stays and who goes. Unlike the mole, there are no exemptions. Also the last two players the spy and the wiiner, will get a chance to play one game winner takes all of the whole prize package. everything about Spy games and the other tourneys will be anounced soon.

Crimefighter Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 Assuming the MOLE thinks all the other players completely SUCK at a particular game, I for instance would make up the difference. Heh, the LOWEST scoring player would get the AXE every time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Iacovelli Posted June 18, 2004 Author Share Posted June 18, 2004 the Score is not what elimates the player it's the Quiz. and I might not tell the spy to mess all the gamnes but just some others. going off the subject for while:I had problems with the paper that was doing the flyers inserts (they wanted the fonts in abobe type 1 and they cant use true type fonts(which I have)) so I decided to cabcel the flyers inserts for the paer and contsrate on the oither stuff(t-shirt and hat sales,and raffle sales and table sales) I've alread got mentions in the paper for the show and I'm going to keep plugging away for the free mentions. (I'll prob do about 50 to 100 flyers myself at ofice depot on day off next week and put them at work and see if other places will have some) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Iacovelli Posted June 19, 2004 Author Share Posted June 19, 2004 (I'll prob do about 50 to 100 flyers myself at ofice depot on day off next week and put them at work and see if other places will have some) some good news on the flyer situation: I've e-mailed the people at Safariland and they agreed to have my flyers at their place and they will give me promtional stuff for the show. (also Ie-mailed a press release to the chicagotribune (metromix) to see if they will put a mention online and and the paper(I also sent a pr to liberty suburban papers to see if they will give us a mention as well) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
