I will definitely not be there tonight, and the next few (4-8) Tuesday 40k's are going to be hit or miss for me.  We're delivering a new, insanely ambitious robot in November...

PRO TIP: New players are lifeblood of any gaming community. If you see a new guy, say hi, play a small game with him, explain the rules as they come up and try to remember his name.

What night do people actually want to do this, and would be able to show up?

I think for the store Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday are the best options.  I have a feeling Monday will not work well for a lot of people.

Please post what day works for you if you would plan on coming to a weekly 40k night.

I appreciate what you're doing Chris, I want 40k night at Abington to be successful as well.  The problem with simply asking what night works for everyone is that no night works for everyone.  I've talked a lot with Chase, Sam, and Ben (Boulanger) about how Thursday night 40k got off the ground.  Basically, to get people to show up to a 40k night, you have to have people at the 40k night.  Thursday night wasn't picked because it was an especially convenient day for everyone, but now that it's so successful, it's something that's worth prioritizing over other things for that community.

As silly as it sounds, if you build it (in the sense of getting multiple players to routinely show up for MONTHS on end, at a defined time and place) they will come.  Honestly, I'm not the right person to get this off the ground.  I don't know a ton of people very well at Abington.  If you do, email a bunch of people, and say "HEY!  COME TO ABINGTON ON NIGHT XYZ!".  Then, put up a forum post saying HOLY CRAP 10 PEOPLE ARE COMING!  YOU COME TOO!  HAVE FUNTIMES WITH PLASTIC DUDESMANS!

People have to commit and not give up just because of one bad Thursday as well.

As Brad is well aware sometimes at Thursday 40k we might only have 2 tables going, other times we've got 8.

Don't show up to one where not much is going on and never show up again judging off that one night

If we're looking at Mon - Thur, then the way things are going a Wednesday would work best for me, when I'm not travelling.

I usually try and get a game in on the weekend too but, for a 40k night my vote is pretty much restricted to Weds....
