Gaming Weekend is the epitome of all things SFS, a 48-hour jamfestapalooza of free games, free food, and not-quite-free vendors. To be blunt, it's kind of a big deal. Gaming Weekend is held twice a year, once in A-term and once in D-term. It takes place in the Campus Center, to be more specific the entire top floor (and some rooms downstairs). Entrance is free for all, though we love when people buy our membership for only $5 or 5 books.

The Rules!! (Come on, you knew they were coming.)
We like Gaming Weekend. We want to avoid things that will break it or make the administration, events coordinators, or police try to ban it. So we have a few rules, listed here.
  1. Don't freak the mundanes.
  2. Don't freak the mundanes.
  3. Listen to the officers and their goons (who will be marked with a goofy hat or something). We'd like to maintain order.
  4. Stay in Gaming Weekend space. A map (in .png format) will be emailed to the list soon indicating which rooms are actually ours.
  5. No sleeping in Gaming Weekend space.
  6. There is no rule #6.
  7. No alcohol. No drunk people.
  8. Don't bring food in. Chartwells owns the food-gathering portion of our souls. There will be pizza, Swedish fish, and other delicacies available; keep your brown-bagged lunch where we can't see it.
  9. No nudity.
  10. No weapons. This includes Nerf guns, foam weapons, fake doomsday devices, and real doomsday devices.
  11. Please clean up after yourself when you've finished a game. Put the game pieces in the box and the box in the pile o' games.
  12. You are welcome to bring games. Please label them so we know whose they are. The SFS takes no responsibility for the fate of individuals' games.
  13. Consider the 3-2-1 rule. Any 24-hour period of your Gaming Weekend life should include 3 hours of sleep, 2 meals, and 1 shower at minimum.
  14. Have fun, or perish.
