The best answer I could figure was that there was a huge game of Humans vs. Zombies, which had around 650 players, going on the same time as the event. I didn't realize that there would be a time conflict with any other games. Also, I failed to connect the local gaming shop to create a tie-in. I was more concern about creating interest on campus. When I do this next year, I going the local business an opportunity to help, if they wish. The location was excellent, it was in the middle of the campus. The weather was a little rainy, which may have prevent people from coming out. When I was waling on Court Street, the bar were slightly busy, as opposed to packed. The bars are a good barometer to see if people are out and about in Athens. It was definitely a learning experience. Despite the lack of turnout, I had a lot of fun organizing the whole event. Plus, it got my mind off my writer's block.
