Countdown to Origins 2015

[Black Jack Rackham]

Minor edit to their dates, I just saw this on their FB page...

[Lady Grace]

And the hamsters will die at 1:02...

[salamanca]

like it will open on time.

you know this system would not crash if you all would stop being so insistent on being the first kid in line.

[Rebecca Iavelli]

Well, I know I should have done this earlier, but kept forgetting to call. So I made my hotel reservations today, and of course, things are screwed up. I will have a room from the 2nd to the 5th, after that they are sold out. So seems like there are going to be a lot of people, even though it's earlier than normal, and kids are still in school.

So I'm going to have to call back to see if any rooms open up for the rest of the week, there were not even rooms available outside of the "blocked" Origins section. Ah well, should have called sooner.

Less than 2 days before the Event Guide is out!

[Lady Grace]

Not seeing the link to the events grid yet...

ETA: OK, it's up now...

[Black Jack Rackham]

It is up. However about half of the events say the wrong time or the wrong date or both.I have an email into the powers that be to see if we need to make any changes or if they are going to fix it.

[Black Jack Rackham]

Ok I took a more thorough look at our events, and it turns out they are not as messed up as I originally thought. Actually the only problem was the two events scheduled on Thur (Episode 8 – Acts of Desperation (6049) scheduled at 9am, and Episode 10 – Command Performance (6050) scheduled at 1pm) just have the wrong date. The schedule says 6/5 and they'll actually be run on 6/4. Hope that's helpful for folks.

[Lady Grace]

Any new changes or screw-ups?

[Black Jack Rackham]

Well over on FB, there are a few folks (including our buds, Matinee Adventures) who've mentioned their schedules are out of whack. The Powers That Be have said they'll be making changes as they fix them, but thus far I haven't seen any changes to our stuff (not sure about MA).

[Lady Grace]

Is the GoSM Club bonus a-go for Origins registration?

[salamanca]

Bonus is a go. Most recent update on list added gm names and corrected event costs.

[Rebecca Iavelli]

Well, I took a chance today and called the Crown Plaza hotel, and got the last available room for the week of Origins!! So I canceled my Hyatt reservation, and now have a confirmed room from the 2nd to the 7th at the Crown Plaza! Yeah!!!

[Black Jack Rackham]

They updated the events chart again, but we're still not fixed for Thurs. If you know any of our players outside of here or FB, please let em know (just in case this doesn't get fixed).

[salamanca]

is it too early? I don't think it's too early...

OOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIGGGGGGGGIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sorry, had to be said.

[Lady Grace]

Here's hoping the hamsters hold up...

[Lady Grace]

Has me listed as a member of GoSM, but it's charging me $65?

[Black Jack Rackham]

Ok spoke with TPTB, they will get to the changes, so it should be all set by Con time, just still getting to them.
I'll keep you updated.

[cpugs]

0 for Origins. Shut out of EVERY primary event I wanted. I know registering tonight might be a problem but shut out of 13 events?????

[Black Jack Rackham]

Ouch, that really sucks Charlie.

[salamanca]

you know your generics are good with us.

[kenderleech]

Hell, if charlie shows up without generics and wants to play, ill drop him one of my generics.

[Watcher487]

Registered, and waiting for my final confirmation on my time off for the convention. And yes, I will be using generics for the sessions.

[Klcp]

Is anyone else having trouble registering?

I've filled out the form and submitted it like a dozen times but when I hit the "Begin registration" button it just clears the form and nothing happens...

Help!

(Also, hi everyone...it's only been like 3 years...I'm still here though...)

[Black Jack Rackham]

Ok Kara got a hold of me on FB. She's in but got her account locked so now it's an email to events@gama.org
