Bugs: Recent Topics Paging, Uploading Images & Preview (11 Dec 2020)
Recent Topics paging, uploading images and preview bugs require a patch which has not yet been released.
F:AT CAMP (aka This Convention Of Ours)
I think the greatest concentration of gamers is in the N.E. If some one wants to coordinate things up there then we'd probably have the best turnout.
If people want to meet-up in NE this year, I suggest just going to ConnCon in Stamford, CT in March. They do all the work, and we have all the fun. Nearly all of the people that were at my house last Sat will be there as well as a few that couldn't make it. It's smaller than GamesDay, where we do TrashFest. If enough people were interested, I could look into getting a F:AT suite like was done at TrashFest.

How about 2% of your time?If I go to Australia I'm not going to spend my time huddled over a board, that's for sure.

My mom still lives in Stamford, everyone coming to Stamford is an awesome plan.
My overall vote would be that it needs to either be North East or Atlanta for the reasons mentioned. I'd of course prefer the NE since driving vs flying can make or break my broke grad student ability to get places.

Also Stamford is on the Metro-North line, so for less than $20 round trip you can go into NYC.

" If only someone knew of a state with a depressed tourist economy, ..."
Check.
" ,,,with lots of empty hotel space, ..."
Check.
" ...where you can buy alcohol 24/7..."
Check.
" If only such a thing existed."
It does. Come to Didcot.

Barnes - the BA Barracus of Ameritrash.Avery, you'll just have to intoxicate or knock out (your choice) Barnes and drive him to FAT CAMP where ever it's going to happen. Problem solved.
If it's on the East coast of the US then at least I have a chance of making it, it will then depend on seasonal cheaper air tickets. Unfortunately March may be out for me as I'm looking at a trip back to NZ for my lad and that usually is the best time for school holidays overlapping and the least difference in weather.
But I'll keep an eye on this.

Timing is not really an issue because there is not going to be a 'best time' for most people (at least I don't think so)
ConnCon is a good choice for accessibility but you're adding the price of the con to rooms food and transport. I'm personally not a big fan of the private gaming suite. It splits the group up for the benefit of some private gaming.
Renting a block of rooms somewhere would be cheaper and the locals could provide the games.
My goal for Trashfest south was to be as inexpensive as possible by inviting people to stay in my home and doing BBQs for dinners (I'll do better next time - the food suxxored)
If we're doing a Con though, I think we should go big like Origins or WBC.

P.S. Atlanta is totally open BTW. I *definitely* can make that happen.
