Captiv8ted thank you very much for your comments about how Absolution was. Initially I had a partner in Absolution but at the begining of the year he pulled out which has allowed me to make quite a few changes. These changes should (I hope) make a difference from when you first attended. The biggest change has been the level of music, this is now quite low and I am more open to change the level during the night if someone complains about it. The style of music varies from night to night, check the events page for more details.
I am sorry that your friends did not find the dungeon, there were signs on the walls pointing to the dungeon which has now been housed in an outside room. The room is temporary and will at some point move in to a larger one once the building work has been completed. The ceiling at the moment is not as high as I would like it but at least we have a room. The furniture in the room rotates all apart from a St Andrews Cross that has been securely fixed to the wall. The other furniture iincludes whippping stools, benches, stocks etc. There is no bed in this room. I did have a bed in another room but afeter having three beds destroyed on consecutive nights, I have temporarily removed that feature until a more robust bed is purchased.
I am trying to ensure taht Absolution is mentioned on the event listing page. You can get onto the E-mailing list by requesting your details to be added. there is also a web site www.upfront-promotions.com
There is also more appropriate low level music playing in the dungeon.
I do not use the smoke machines in the venue as all it does is make me cough and give me a sore throat.....why should I do that?
There were ettiquette guidance slips on the main desk and also some larger versions pinned to the walls in various places, but what I will aim to do in the future is hand them out on entry so there will be no excuse in the future.
I now have a couple of roaming DMs that should ensure taht there is no catcalling, overcrowding or inappropriate behavior. I do not have a problem with ejecting people if they do not stop bad behaviour after having it pointed out to them, but in so saying I have not had to eject anyone this year!
As far as your 'new' ladies are comncerned I am never sure who will turn up on what night.
Once more I would like to thank you for your comments now and for you and everyone to know that I do listen to what is said and act upon it when I can.
Tony
