X-Site Tuesday Crew

Post by Ho » Wed Jul 12, 2006 8:59 am

I was only at X-Site last night for a short time...maybe about half an hour between 6:30 and 7. Yesterday was my eight year wedding anniversary with Lissa, so you might imagine it was more important to me to be home rather than out playing Pump...not that I don't love all you X-Site people.

Anyway, for those of you that showed up, you were likely made aware that X-Site has started a 'pay one price' special on Tuesdays. Basically, it's a flat entry fee for unlimited game play in the vein of TBT.

Of course given the limited number and variety of games that most of us play there, the entry fee of $10 for video games only and $25 for video+tag is not an especially good deal. I know that personally I only spend maybe $5 on tokens every two weeks, so the new pricing would have me spending in one night what I normally spend in one month.

Several of us talked to the manager Kevin. He was going to talk to the owner to see if he could offer us either a separate deal on Tuesdays or move the old $5 for 25 tokens special that we've been getting on Tuesdays to another day. He was going to call me and let me know what was determined.

The result of this is that we might move our meetup to another night. Nothing has been determined yet, but does anyone have any thoughts/concerns/requests?

I will keep you all posted as I get more information and this situation develops.

I got a callback from Kevin today. I really appreciate that he followed through with it. It's a joy and a pleasure to work with business owners/managers who take the time to get to know and get involved with the community and establish relationships with their regular customers.

Anyway, he said that we can continue to come on Tuesday nights and that he'd only charge us regulars $5 admission. Alternatively, he can move the $5 for 25 tokens special to another night...maybe Wednesday or Thursday.

Does anyone have a preference? I know that most of us probably spend less than $5 on Tuesdays, and I don't know if another night might be easier for some of us to get together.

A lot of people showed up and left before you got there due to the oddball pricing thing. There's usually around 7-10 people there on a Tuesday.

I'd be up for Wednesdays since paying $5 would mean I'd pay about double what I normally pay to play.

Damn.

Well, hopefully this will all be figured out by the time I get back. I don't really like the idea of the flat fee thing, as I usually only spend $2-3 on Tuesdays. I wouldn't mind if it's moved to Wednesday, but once the summer ends my Thursday nights will most likely already be filled.

Oh, and I'll be getting back late on the 1st, so if the meetup is still on Tuesdays I won't be able to make it, but if it gets moved to Wednesday I'll be able to make it that week.

So we can pay twice as much to play fewer games we actually care about? No thanks.

That's your choice. You've made your stance pretty clear before. This thread wasn't really targeted at you in the first place.

Post by Ho » Mon Jul 17, 2006 4:37 pm

I wish I knew. I have a couple people I want to call and check up on and then maybe we can make a decision.

Sorry...I don't roam around this forum too much.

I vote for changing the day, definitely. I rarely put down $5 for tokens in one night. Unless I get there early, but that won't happen anymore.

Wednesday and Thursday are both fine. ^_^
