I was making a belated announcement on the Boston list, and
I realized I hadn't plugged Tempest on this one! We'd love
have anyone down from NYC who is Jonesin for a game!

There are three airports to fly in, for your convenience: IAD is the
closest, and DCA is nearly as close; BWI is appreciably further, but
often cheaper, and actually not terribly inconvenient either for a
pickup or to take mass transit from. And we can get New Yorkers from
Union Station if you want to take the train!

Tysons Corner is a local shopping mecca, within easy striking range of
the mass of tourist attractions in our nation's capital. Saturday
evening has some fun events scheduled, but nothing scored, so feel free
to take time off and see museums, monuments, government buildings, or
whatever else strikes your fancy... if you desire assistance in choosing
how to allocate your time, the Tempest staff will be happy to help!

The scoring system used at Tempest is the Carnage scoring system: 7000
pts for first place board position, 6000 pts for second place board
position....down to 1000 pts for last place board position, plus 1 pt
for each SC owned at the end of the game

Players are encouraged to bring other games they enjoy, as we will have
a massive space, more than sufficient to hold non-Diplomacy action
running concurrent with the diplomacy tournament.

Brian - I'll go if I you can find me a place to crash.

Anyone thinking of going to the Paris tournament just before Xmas (nice half-price hotel in lovely Paris just before the holidays) ?
