[Deptheads] Claydonia costs

[Nekojin]

Thanks for the clarification, Victor.

Well, Mike? How do you feel about it? It costs about $25 to buy enough
Play-Doh for 18 players
<http://www.amazon.com/Play-Doh-Mega-Pack-Cans/dp/B00JM5GZGW>. We can
either charge an admission fee of around $1.25 to cover the cost (in the
same way that Draft tournaments in CCGs do), or we can soak the cost as
part of encouraging the tournament - I'm fairly certain that we'll get more
players if we're not charging for it than if we charge even a small fee.

Also, there's the problem of ownership - if we charge the admission fee,
the players clearly get to own their Play-Doh, and some of the attacks in
the game can result in two Claydonians getting melded together - it becomes
hard to separate them clearly and give people their own Play-Doh afterward
(plus, some people may not *want* to take the Play-Doh once the tournament
is over).

"Would you like another drink, sir?" asked the bartender.
"I think not," replied Descartes, and promptly vanished.
