I can't tell you how long I've waited to send out this email. (1)
Mr. Wirsing and I have been in some discussions and have fixed May 13 as being
Der Tag.
That date is far enough out that a fair number of us will have received our 2nd
shot (plus waiting period), yet close enough to not induce despair of ever
meeting again. As additional gamers get immunized, our numbers should quickly
grow.
The games will almost certainly be held in the traditional bunker space. Not
outside (a glance outside right now [5:58pm Saturday] will tell you why), nor
in the garage.
Beyond those two points (the When and the Where), there is little additional
information. We thought that deciding a date was the biggest thing to get our
group going. The question of "precautions" has not yet been addressed. For
some of you (those fully immunized with fully immunized familes) this will not
be a concern. We wish to be sensitive to the concerns of those (maybe half?)
who will not yet fall into that category. We shall cooperate, as they say.
The other big question is what we'd be playing. My guess is that we'd have a
smallish turnout. But, given the hordes that descended upon Tom's place just
to move a hot tub, maybe not. The need to socialize is almost palpable.
What we (I) ask of you is this - 1) Respond to this thread with your level
of interest for May 13th 2) Let me know if you will have a game ready to
go by that date
3) Precautionary comments/questions/concerns
For #3, if you'd prefer to not broadcast your thoughts, please contact Tom or
myself privately. We are not a group that enjoys excluding people and I think
I speak for all when I say we'll try to work with whatever needs to be done to
make people comfortable.
I very much look forward to seeing all of you -
- Jonathan Perry
(1) Completely untrue. A simple calendar combined with advanced computational
theory would allow me to tell you EXACTLY how long. But I refuse.
