Not like its progress isn't being mentioned
on Twitter and other places. Seems there are a few people taking notice, but 100% agree: when more people see the potential it'll move a lot.
Not posting much here recently but watching
I love seeing this move again. Congrats to all that held long and strong, and to those that got in where you did, more recently.
I love these smaller growth spurts every day!
Steps to legalize MMJ. GET ON IT, GRO!
https://www.marijuanamoment.net/democratic-senate-leaders-announce-steps-to-federally-legalize-marijuana-in-2021/
Deliberative Rhetoric at its absolute worst. Shameful.
"...suicides(kids included) are way up..."
Suicide in children has been on the rise for about 13 or so years (and a considerable increase).
Link, CDC Link, Kid's increase related to Social Media?
The inference was suggested that the rise is due to Covid. Got something to back that up?
"The lockdowns/masks and all these stupid policies..."
More opinion based on... well... what, exactly?
National Institute of Health says otherwise on lockdowns, as does The Lancet, and it seems it's not just Covid that lockdowns help with. CDC tells us masks help. The UCSF spells it out for you in simple terms.
"I have looked at the studies on the masks, I don't just talk on my opinions!"
It wouldn't take more than a minute to link those same studies, so we can read them too. Please let them be reputable.
"Game cafes are the most unsafe, disease-spreaders around..."
More opinion here. Nothing to back it up. No discussion on the measures that games cafes are taking to reduce the spread of Covid. Snakes has already posted the measures it's taking to help with the spread of the virus, including partitions and the cleaning and storage of the games in between uses. In fact I'd go as far as to say that door handles in public areas are a more effective way of spreading germs. Maybe you could start criticising the brick and mortars that use those?
"Susan needs to SHUT IT DOWN yett [sic] again!!! Save lives - SHUT IT DOWN."
The cafes do NOT need to close. In fact Susan et al should be commended for going the extra mile to make sure they are as clean and safe as they can be to allow patrons to visit and enjoy time OUT of the house. Besides, based on other comments, lockdowns—and shutting down Snakes would support that—don't work.
Getting extremely bored of people blaming blaming Covid for keeping us closed and operating at a loss, at the same time as saying we should close due to Covid, at the same time as saying masks and lockdowns don't work, so really why bother with any of the precautions?
Covid adversely affects EVERY public-facing company (and by that I mean those brick and mortars that rely on clients coming in to the premises, if that needs spelling out). Snakes is doing its best to help mitigate the spread without resorting to a shut down. KUDOS, Snakes!
And enough of the unsupported rhetoric around Covid. It's not helping anyone.
What do we NEED to do? We NEED to be real. Wearing masks does help. If it didn't, a perfectly healthy surgeon wouldn't need one when he operated. Shutdowns do help, if everyone would stop getting excited about thinking they have lost one of their constitutional rights, and just follow the guidelines. Let's face it, if we had shut down 100% for a month some time back, chances are we wouldn't be talking about this right now in the same context.
(Edited to separate out the links.)
I'm still here, just don't post much.
Been here for a few years, but don't post a lot. I do visit daily but get sick of reading updates about new virus cases, etc., as if it's only affecting us and is a good enough reason not to invest. I'd say that any company that can weather the virus and GROW, despite it, is worth looking at for a long-term investment.
That said, I feel that the company could be doing a much better job when it comes to PR. There is absolutely NO excuse there. As others have said, even someone fresh out of Uni (or even someone who wants some experience) to blitz as many media channels as possible with news, etc. I know the company is growing in the background, but no reason OTHERS shouldn't see that too, that don't frequent this board.
We are growing despite the virus. Some on here suggest that opening cafes at reduced capacity is a bad thing ("25% capacity guaranteed to lose money!!"). Yes we'll run at reduced capacity, but we'll RUN. Many other brick and mortar companies, even the big ones, have had to close. We're still there, despite what the world throws at us. Operating our way though the pandemic, even if it IS at a bit of a loss, cannot possibly be a long-term negative if we are here and ready to go when all restrictions are lifted.
The 14,000-square-foot-cafe officially opened on Valentine's Day.

It's a freaking oven! I concur.
To be fair, not only was Arizona one of the states hit hardest by Covid, but August is the worst possible time for businesses. People just don't visit then and the locals limit the amount they go out. It's a freaking oven.
Pandemic-inspired shutdowns created an “insurmountable financial hurdle”

Little Penny Stock
Snakes & Lattes: Will be re-opening all locations on August 13th
They could offer discount on shipped (collected) games, to help keep people occupied.
Or offer take out only, to keep the kitchens busy--local restaurant has a 35% discount on call-in orders, to help keep the doors open.
There hasn't been a tweet from Tempe Snakes for over a month, but I did drop them a line and suggest that maybe they could retweet 'How to's" for people with new board games...
There may not be anything they can do from an AMFIL point of view that will help people deal with the current situation, but the Cafe's can keep supporting the communities, which will help keep them top of mind when this all this virus cr*p goes away and the public can start going out again.
Still holding.
Best wishes to all.
"...largest and most prestigious games event"
Internationale Spieltage SPIEL, aka Essen
By far the world’s largest and most prestigious games event, the annual board games trade fair at Essen draws over a hundred thousand gamers from around the world.
As you said, Europe is a MASSIVE market for board games.
Makes sense to have a foot firmly planted in Europe.
Absolutely ridiculous comment to make.
If everything that was made in China was cheap and of poor quality then I challenge you to go through you house and dispose of everything that is marked 'Made In China'. Based on your flawed logic you are probably better off without it.
Yes, some of the stuff that comes out of China is cheap, and you can argue you would be better spending your money elsewhere, but that same argument applies to EVERY country that manufactures anything--some of it is going to be poor quality, but not all of it.
And if they approached a company like Modiano the price for the games would be unrealistic--these aren't tournament games even if some people will collect them!
Details like this that might never affect SP
But it speaks VOLUMES about the people who make it all happen.
Same as fulfilling the order for the KTU Kickstarter. It may not have been a lucrative option, but it was the RIGHT option!
Most of my earlier posts are MMJ related
I'll repost after the spinoff, on the new ticker.
We could really do with getting FUNN out of the MMJ classification here on iHub.
As the industry grows, GRO will be key.
The tipping point is too close to ignore, when it comes to the legalization of MMJ. It's not a case of IF, but WHEN.
The biggest problem facing ALL growers right now is the residue from pesticides, organic or otherwise, that taints the final product.
Companies will face massive fines and potentially closure over issues like this (some already have!), and that's where GRO comes into its own.
Because of how it works it leaves ZERO residue for the growers to have to worry about. yes, the upfront cost might be a bit high, but over the lifetime of the company those same machines will continue to produce and the company will have peace of mind knowing that the bud is 100% organic and 100% pesticide free.
I came here for GRO (thanks again, Rocket!), am still here for S&L, and I sincerely look forward to the spinoff and the future for BOTH S&L and GRO itself.
I certainly welcomed it.
Hit my goal today with another purchase!
$$$FUNN
You know the company hasn't done it?
Where did you get that information?
Letter was posted today
Can you point out the 'EOD PAINT, PER USUAL'?
I don't see anyone trying to do anything. Unless you mean the 30K at 0.0631, which seems to be someone trying to make FUNN look worse.
TYIA
LOL.. That 1k paint fell into my hands
Ah well. The shares are safe there :) Thank you to the people 'dumping'.
Question: If shares really are being 'dumped'
as some suggest, then who is buying them?
On slightly smaller scale, price is a gift.
Another 10k for me.
Been adding to my position over the past two weeks--trying to hit my target but not sure I'll quite get there before it starts to head upward.
It jumped into the 3's Apr/May of 2017
I agree 100% with that statement!
I followed Rocket here years ago, when this was in the 3's and after buying for the GRO side of the company, I stayed for the FUNN side!
Thank you SO much, Rocket. You have, quite literally, changed my life!
***WARNING!! WARNING!!*** Share price about to change!
If you haven't bought by now... well...
I'm sorry!
If you are still around tomorrow, let me know.
Would be happy to try and get there for lunch, if I can!
So good to see you finally got on board.
I know you had some serious doubts, and sorry about those around you who didn't have the same experience that most of the longs here did.
Patience finally paid off. Hope everything works out well for you and yours.
1/2 hour drive and I can't get there today!
Happy Birthday, Uncle Gordy. SOOO many reasons to celebrate, tonight!
Here's to all the longs, their patience, and to all the solid DD that has been posted to this board. Thank you!
Congrats, all. We knew it was coming, and yes, the delays have been a pain to wait through, but they have allowed me to buy more at stupidly low prices.
This is going to be a very long weekend ;) but a FUNN one!
From what I understand based on a quick search...
Walls are put up by those trying to manipulate the share price.
Individuals (or maybe a group) will accumulate a large number of shares, say 750k at a low share price. As the price starts to climb a little, that same 750k can be put up for offer in one big lump. This produces a 'wall' that buyers need to eat through before the shares offered at a higher price can be bought.
As an example:
I set up a wall of 1 million shares at 5 cents. You would like to sell your stock at 6 cents but know that wo'n't happen in any decent amount of time with my wall of shares standing in your way. So if you really want to sell your shares you'll have to offer them at less than 5 cents in order to have any chance of selling them any time soon (who knows how long it will take for my wall to come down by people buying at 5?)
You offer your shares at 4.9 cents. I may buy them because why not? They are cheap. This is me manipulating the share price myself, or with a group of others who might be accumulating or making money off buying/selling large amount of shares with small profits.
Thank you.
Not available yet an epic failure??
Not available. No evidence of production
Epic failure since 2017
One man's trash is another man's treasure
Increasingly true over the past two years..
Facts don't fit some people's narrative.
For the sake of accuracy and completeness
It might be worth mentioning that these are Canadian dollars. Cover charge in Canada is Can$8, whereas in the US it's US$5
More added last week. Looking forward to the coming weeks!
More FUNN every day!
Somebody dumped some of their shares this morning...
Right into my lap.
If I took some people on the board seriously I'd have to say to myself 'Well it sucks to be me!'
But I don't, so I'll thank the person who dumped them, instead.
I tried them but they wouldn't allow me
to purchase AMFE/FUNN
ETrade does.
5k just showed up.
When you select a pre-order you pay.
From Walmart's FAQ:
How do I place a pre-order?
It’s easy! Simply add the item that’s available for pre-order to your cart and check out. You can choose one of our convenient shipping options, like Home Delivery or Store Pickup. After your order is placed, you’ll receive an email confirmation with everything you need to know.
I think they would do well to rebrand it.
