Gaming parties at the hotels???

Anyone who's been to PAX before can attest to the fact that while the gaming rooms are awesome, they can have long waits, and can only have so many games. So is anyone else thinking of holding mini-tournaments or just game parties in the hotels???

.. oh, and don't make a sign announcing it to the masses either.
If you're looking to go to a hotel party, you just have to be friendly and open to meeting new people.... and not be a douchebag.

"But he's still walking around."
"Which makes him one of the walking dead."
"Exactly."
"So, he's dead."
"No, that makes him a zombie."

You could probaby still get an hour or two nap in afterward. I don't see anything wrong with that. I'd totally be up for an after-hours game of Axis and Allies. I haven't played the new version yet.

Last year at the Homewood Suites we surprisingly had no problem hooking our 360s, etc. up to the 2 LCDs installed in our room!
Did you use a Universal Remote? Most hotels' remotes don't have a TV/AV function, I've found the only way to switch is if you bring your own remote...

Here's the story. There was going to be an epic party titled Sealab. Enough liquor to drown an irishman and great festivities for all. To get to the party, you joined the info list here on the forums. Basically, all you had to do was know someone who could get you in.
Well, one person who will remain nameless thought it would be a brilliant idea to advertise this party on a sign and walk around PAX. You can imagine how this ended.
Bonus: On the train trip home, I was sharing a dinner table with 2 people I didn't know. I started bitching about "that asshole who went and ruined Sealab for all of us." One of the guys at the table goes "Oh... uh... yeah, that was me, I'm really sorry about that." Awkward meal.
Hey, at pax those are pretty much the same thing. There's no reason why you can't have the best of both worlds.
I think we found a designated driver.
I understand. I pretty much quit drinking too, but for pax I'm going to make an exception. That was probably a terrible, terrible idea though, since prior to pax I should be attempting to raise my tolerance, not lower it...
And I am definitely hoping not to make a fool of myself...
Though, to be honest, the answer is the same: Get to know people during the con and make plans to hook up with them after hours for some gaming fun.
Even if you're announcing a tea party on the forums it's probably not a good idea unless you have room for hundreds of people. Everything posted here is open to the internet. I hear that internet dude is a crazy party animal.
Too late! LOL

I am soooo ready.
That seems like a really long time to just get naked, the typical mario party game (50 rounds) can go for what three hours?
Im so in.
Im staying at the Homewood Suites
I'd also be down for this, but man would I be exhausted the next day...
We only play mini-games.
As fun as it is to turn innocent games into strip games, I feel like the male to female ratio is way to high. This coming from a male, so maybe I'm biased.
If you are in Homewood Suites and want to play Risk late into the night after PAX closes, PM me.
Choosing Risk over Axis and Allies? For shame.
Though in all fairness I haven't played the new Risk so I suppose it could be that good.

are you talking with the extra 'continents'?
there is no way we could successfully pull off a whole axis and allies game, risk alone could last 8 hours with enough people
Axis and Allies is usually 4-6. Though we did once have an 8 hour game.
The new Risk is the one that came out early last year in the black box. It has different rules that supposedly makes it better and faster.
Though I still

Typical Axis & Allies games for me have lasted days, and in some cases, weeks!
Do you also play for pink slips?
sounds dirty
Never have had a game go over 5 hours. And I have played a lot of games. If you are really worried about time limit just play Pacific it has a tendency to be closer to 3 hours a game.
If it wasn't for the fact that it is only 2 player I would love to recommend Battle Cry... I just love that game.
Anyone have Car Wars? :winky:
That can be done any weekend. PAX is only once a year. We should get a PA outing to Gameworks sometime after PAX though.
