A few things about this. A buy in raffle is something that most people will not want to participate in. But it will also ward of some who are not truly in to it.
Second with cards, people will bash you of pulling a slight of hand.
Third if you offer additional cards, there will be someone who'll will try to buy the rest of the deck. Again creating a money battle.
Instead of doing a money entry, you can do an essay entry keeping it fair to people who lack the money.

Hay Mike I like your plan but how about changing the above rule to:
-Players must be a member of the Revomaze forum

That way we can all still chat about it

Yeah we do a similar thing, it's called the Midlands Puzzle Party (MPP) and for a small fee you can puzzle to your hearts content with all manner of puzzles, not to mention the companyDaveeeboy wrote:As for everyone poo pooing my hire scheme have you never heard of super car hire![]()

You can sit in a corner and puzzle by yourself, that's what I did last time (my first time) for the first hour or so, then I just went wild with excitement when more people arrived with more puzzles!! Then I couldn't even sit down, I was puzzling standing up

Definitely consider it though, I thoroughly enjoyed it last time. Though the next one is this Saturday, so probably too short notice.

Thanks for the info and heads up.
Can you pay on the door or do you need to pre-buy tickets?
Is there a website with more info?

Re: Buyers and Sellers
Yes, Nigel (Barcared) who organises it works out and takes the money when everyone is there. It's only minimal to cover the cost of hiring the room.
There's no website (as such) but MPP is discussed on the site here and there is a group on Facebook here.
Anywho, back on topic.
Mike sell me your Black ..... please

Dave.
You pay when you're there. There is no need to book although it's helpful if people contact us so approximate number are known to sort adequate refreshments. The payment is to cover the hire of the hall and refreshments. The aim is to try to divide it equally, therefore it's less if more people turn up

Puzzle Place wiki collates the reviews / pictures and videos from previous events here.
There is a facebook page (here) which will be used to organise MPP events for the foreseeable future. If you're not on facebook then email or PM Nigel (Barcared) either here or on the Puzzle Place forum to get on the mailing list.
If you want to see any Revomaze there, let me know and I'll bring it along.
Chris
edit:
It is suggested that discussion take place either on the Facebook group or on the forum at Puzzle Place (here) as you're more likely to get a response from many of the regulars there these days.TheWaddler wrote:There's no website (as such) but MPP is discussed on the site here...

Ahh yes, I forgot about the Puzzle Place forum. I wondered where everyone had buggered off tobluesign2k wrote:It is suggested that discussion take place either on the Facebook group or on the forum at Puzzle Place (here) as you're more likely to get a response from many of the regulars there these days.

Not sure I dare join that forum as well, I may lose even more money and time
