ALBANY LIVE IS BACK!

[Sparafucil3]

Hmmmmm,.... upper state New York and New England in December.

Sounds like a interesting reason to vacay in the USA post Cov-eh (Hey! Settle down, I'm Canadian).

I grew up about 90 minutes south of Montreal. As a kid, all of our TV came over the air from Canada. Stan and Jan in the morning, Beachcombers in the afternoon, and Hockey Night in Canada in the evenings. I am as much Canadian as I am American -- jim

Listened to CKLW out of Windsor growing up.That's how I came to appreciate Motown.

Sorry to hear that Joe. It was the authoritative place for information on Albany, especially Tournament SSR and such. It will be missed. -- jim

When I tested positive for anti-bodies in early 2020, I got a copy of the positive lab result.

However, if someone wants to be deceptive, it us easy to just go online and buy a fake vaccine card ( Google it)

My legit card is just an index card with the Pfizer batch number, dates and Walgreen's pharmacist signature.

and prizes.

I don't think I can force proof. I think I will have to trust that people will be honest with me. Someone could choose to show proof if they desired - maybe everyone will do this. I don't think I can accept the responsibility of guaranteeing that someone is 100% safe...

Why should it be?
Who's to say they don't have some other communicable disease?

When you run an event you can make any rules you like. I am trying to walk the line between keeping people reasonably safe and not accepting the role of police. If I don't do enough I will lose too many attendees. The feedback so far is pretty clear on this...

No issues here
I'm sure those in the fence will make their own choices.
If players aren't vaccinated what is the procedure?

I expect all players to either be vaccinated or have had the virus...

ALBANY IS PROUD TO HAVE BEEN CHOSEN BY HAZARDOUS MOVEMENT FOR THE RELEASE OF THEIR NEW SCENARIO PACK!

What an honor to have been selected by Hazardous Movement as the release point
for their second offering. Albany attendees will be the first to get these into their hands and onto the table. The first pack was great
and this new one will offer more of the same type of challenging and exciting scenarios we’ve been playing from their first.

So come prepared to get yours…and some for your ASL comrades…without shipping costs! Albany doesn’t currently accept credit card payments but cash or check will work just fine.

ALBANY continues to offer the best ASL gaming experience you can have and now
It offers even more value.

We hope to see you there in a few short months!

This is awesome. The first HazMo pack is excellent. I have played almost every single scenario in the pack...
Steve

 

[phlegm027]

The scenario list is coming along nicely.

I expect attendees to be vaccinated or have already had the virus. If you don't fall in either of those two categories, you need to PM me to discuss.

Here's the hotel reservation link. Scroll down to get our $75/night rate.

Glad to see you’re accepting those who have had the CCP virus.

Looks like natural immunity is better than the vaccine...

The honor is all ours, Joe! Albany is a fantastic tournament I've attended in the past and very much enjoyed, both for the high level of friendly competition as well as for the camaraderie! And that kind of event takes real organization and hard work. Thank you for allowing Hazmo to be a proud sponsor of NY ASL Championship (aka simply "Albany")! Assuming all goes well this year - and there's no reason it shouldn't - we would not be opposed to making Albany the site of our annual scenario pack release, since that is the pace that we're envisioning right now . . .

I talked to Chad several times today and it is our goal to make this pack (even) better than the last. And in the future one or both of us should be able to make the event in person!

Best,

CH

Thanks so much for taking Hazmo Pack 1 for a spin, Steve. We're so happy you enjoyed it. And know that we're devoting all our efforts to making this pack even better than the last!

It's clear you put a lot of effort in the first pack. If the second is better, that is exciting, for sure.

Is it still the plan to have a virtual option for the tournament? We're about 60 days out - just trying to plan activities for the rest of the year.

It was never the plan to have a virtual option for the event beyond the first round. I am giving people the option to play the first round virtually in case they can't arrive on Thursday...

Steve,
Okay, thanks for the clarification. In re-reading the original post, it wasn't clear what the "virtual" piece would be, so I figured I'd ask. I enjoyed the VASL version last year, so was hoping to participate again this year since I can't make the trip north. Maybe one day...
