[Deptheads] Flames of War Tourney - Orccon

[DB]

Robyn, I get what you¹re saying.  I can see if they utilized the room to 9
or 10pm but locking up that room for every nite for the entire con during
prime hours is lame.

It¹s a tough call.

I can¹t give any more room over to any other dept .  Board-games already
wants one of my rpg rooms for the prime night hours for the loud games.

Leaving any area of the con fallow when space is already at a premium is
rather difficult to justify.
