Naka istoryahanay naman ang tanan master Mike and i think para tingub na lang, si Greg na lang guro ang ma collate sang tanan namon nga opinions master cheif hehehe

Pero ang subjective opinion ko lang ya, i think it comes as a complete turnabout gawa nga there is rental for playing space here sa Iloilo, and we've been gamers long enough to know that this hasn't happened before, so, even though we were told beforehand, it's still new concept for us to grasp.

But i understand that rent is something to consider, and rent is not free. In fact, rent is very expensive gani.

Let us get used to the idea lang master Mike. I hope there can still be a price adjustment that the management can still make on behalf of the players, but ultimately, kamo ya ang nakabalo kung pila ang overhead and not us, so the final word will always be to you.

What if may extra "ahem" value added ang 15 pesos master, like a cup of iced tea per hour abi hehehe.

Pero ang akon nga objective opinion ya, kung tani ang mga walk-ins and mga gapang hisa--err, i mean mga non-players kung pwede ma exclude lang sa payment master sir?

Here are my thoughts after considering all factors, no offense meant.

That's true Master Mike. It would be unfair for the non-players to pay that much.

True that they take up space and put weight on the floor but they will be paying for a service they are not receiving.
For example: a new player comes to your store and buys his first starter because he has heard so many good things about the game or he just likes the artwork. He goes up to open it and sees the group playing, he comes closer to see why everyone is noisy and revels in the battles taking place. He becomes so intrigued and starts asking the players what's happening (in terms of game-play because the starter does not come with a rulebook) and stays longer to learn more about the game and to also get to know the other players. Since the current cards his starter has are still not good enough to actually make a competitive deck, he can not play. Then Wham! (not the band) He has been there for two hours already and being new and not part of the playgroup yet, he gets charged the amount of 30 php. But for what?

We understand that you have shed some serious money for your business. You had the gaming area fixed, added ventilation and lights. And there's also the rent you have to pay.

I hope you will not take offense when I try to make the following point:
What were you to do with the space now used as the gaming area if you did not have gamers to use it? You could have used it for a stockroom or something. Still pay the rent for it and not have profit from it's existence.

At some point the burden shall still fall upon your shoulders to make the final fee for the gaming area's fee.

You can also take these into consideration:
Purchase of 1 starter = free use of gaming area for three hours.
Purchase of 3 boosters = free use of gaming area for one hour.
(Accumulative purchases for one month)

if you still stick with the 15 php per hour, then I agree with Master Zands that there must be a free treat.

I trust that you will make the right decision.

naka hambal na ko kay master greg na i think ang ma best offer ko nagd lng is 20php first hour, with merienda or pepsi, then succeeding hour 10 php, but 7pm and up it will be 15php per hour and must be 6 players and up to open until 9pm, and ang sunday not decided pa kami if until 6pm or 7pm kami... for the new comers or mga "maki usyoso"(hehehe) they can stay up stair basta buy cla food and drinks... kamo na dayon kabalo mag entertain sa ila(kamo naman bahala kn pano na pag entertain hahahaha)... whatta think?

actually if d na to gamers lounge, may plan na kami na maka profit to gyapon but we are considering you man na ti nag support na gd lng man kami card nyo why not with the playing area...actually isa man ka nag pa triger samon mag halin to is because of that space man e, for you to play but we also have back up plans, kay hambal namon kn mag click na to as gamers lounge ga plan man kami in the future ma dugang pagd games, like miniatures pagd na iban or mga board games(chess, domino, warcraft miniatures, war hammer and etc), amo na kn ma click...

BTW!
la na to boosters , pla pa booster box need ta? and i think nxt order ta may ma kwa ta na something na chubachuchu to sa NG nalipat ko kn ano to knu padala ya

I hope tanan ta makabenefit sa "chubachuhu" nga ginahambal mo master mike! Kon authentic nga katana dapat tulungaon na ka players para patas. Ikaw na bahala mag utod utod basta make sure nga tsakto gid kay after all, "Equality is a lie" I mean, “Equal rights for all, special privileges for none!”.

Huo daw i heard may padala nga freebies ang AEG to supporting stores (i'm not sure if it's Stronghold Stores); ang iban to nga stores may Katana gani.

Nami na idesplay master Mike! Kag kung magipit ako, pwede ko hulamon kag isanla!

Wait...did i say that out loud?

kung katana tago on ko to sa store, cno maka kita iya ah!

senxa gd masters, ubsan naman ta booster box, nag pa reserve na ko ah ...

ti ok na ta sa gamers lounge?

wala pa nag kilit anay tanan master.
pero ang iban na inform naman.

will update you lang ah

the store is close on sundays but tawag lng kamo 3000530 if you will play on sunday, i am offering it at 400pesos, any number of player and it will be open from 1-6pm

Copy that master cheif!

pro may plan gd man kamo ma play to? hihihihi

I think at this point master Mike where everyone is aware of the rules naman, personal discretion na lang sang each player guro. We don't tell each other where to or where not to play, its just that each one of us just follow what we (individually) think is more preferable to each one of us master cheif

"Pay to play" is a new concept for ccg and i don't think it will be patronized. Cos it can't be argued that playing L5r is a luxury, and as a luxury it is very taxing on the monetary limit a person has. I don't want to buy cigarettes and pay for the place where i'll be able to smoke them, i don't want to buy my psp and pay to play them. 30% markup on a piece of cardboard is pretty silly consideration for a silly hobby, but i think it's just fair . . . and the buck stops there of course, sometimes too much isn't good at all.
