Mike didn't end up making it out to the premere PA (so we can be extra evil to him next month).

I thought about both Cosmic Patrol and Rotted Capes (in addition to a couple from Matinee Adventures). CP I'm probably not going to be able to do as (I believe) they all conflict with the games I'm running.

Mike, did you actually go all the way to Mass for the first con and not play 3 and 4 there?

Hey! I was there in spirit.

And, I will not be able to say that I have participated in all of the PAs! *sniff*

[Black Jack Rackham]

I will not be able to say that I have participated in all of the PAs! *sniff

I will

Exactly 4 weeks from today, I'll notice it's still 6am and roll back over to sleep some more because my first game doesn't start until 1pm...

Unless Dave does as he promised on another thread and comes pounding on your door to have you answer a question, lol.

[Black Jack Rackham]

Nah, he doesn't want me bugging him for that two hours he can sleep between Mega-Paranoia and DOMINGO GIGANTE!*

Mark

*course I could just as easily decide that I'D rather have extra sleep more than revenge and just let it go...

[salamanca]

i have roommates. they can answer the door. Hell, I may just get up at 4 am and drive down then just to wake you up.

of course, that would require knowing which room you were in and which hotel. guess, I'll just have to wake up Laura and Eric first to find out.

If anybody else needs a wednesday of Origins wake up call, let me know.

for that matter, I will be happy to wake people when I finish Mega-paranoia... what am I thinking, you should all be stumbling back to your rooms with me at that hour.

[cpugs]

Well, A wake up call would be nice for wednesday if you are offering......

[Black Jack Rackham]

Well hell, at least they told us BEFORE the event registration went live. So I guess we can thank 'em for that.

This Tuesday (May 8th) at 12 noon

[Sister Sonya]

Well hell, at least it's before I'm off to Italy!

If it was afterwards, I likely would not be able to get into any HoA games (unless the GM were to take pity, or a bribe, and let me into the PAs).

[salamanca]

Mike, did you not notice that the events always list 6 players and end up with 8 at the table?. We leave those two slots for GMs that don't get badge access until they are onsite and people that get closed out. (or miss reg while globehopping). Plus the Domingo Gigante session would cover one event. JUST MAKE SURE YOU HAVE GENERIC TICKETS. Same applies for everyone, if you get closed out, drop by and see if we have a seat open or ask for a space in the sunday replay.

[Black Jack Rackham]

MAKE SURE YOU HAVE GENERIC TICKETS. Same applies for everyone, if you get closed out, drop by and see if we have a seat open or ask for a space in the sunday replay.

Absolutely!

Oh and if you forget your generics, simply bring cash. I always purchase extra Generics to have at the table so people don't have to run out and get them.

[cpugs]

Pre-registration is complete. A little slow, but no glitches, and no complaints...

[Black Jack Rackham]

Half an hour in, and it appears we're doing as well as last year. We'd sold out our first event in half an hour. Didn't happen this year but we sold quite a few more tickets (11 to be exact). But I'm betting our regular players aren't in yet (since there are no Personal Agendas tickets sold yet).

[Sister Sonya]

Problems upon problems...

I had to go out, then go back in several times.

The search by event number didn't seem to work. A bunch of evening events disappeared from the spreadsheet/were unavailable. At least two of the CV events didn't show up, including 6677, Sonya 21.

But, I'm not too displeased, overall....

[Black Jack Rackham]

Glad to hear it Mike. Did you get into all our events?

Oh and more update. 2 hours in (approximately) and nearly a third of our tickets are sold. I am quite pleased. Especially given the change of date puts a crimp on attendence...

I also forgot to say, THREE WEEKS!

[Sister Sonya]

Yup. Got #3, #4, and PA 6511.

[Black Jack Rackham]

5pm and already we have 1 Sold Out (current tickets sold 25 out of 60). This just makes me giddy.

[Orianna]

I'm all squared away! Personal Agendas on Friday, then modules 1 and 2 on Saturday. Looking forward to it!

[salamanca]

well, the system is failing to show me a way to edit my registration to add events. so looks like I will not be playing anything.

[cpugs]

Dave, when you log into your badge, under the main tab, there is a line

Quickly jump to and a drop down box. In the drop down box the eevents selection takes you where you need to be.

However, it has been noted on the FaceBook page that GM's might be having an issue. You may need Mark to intercede or send an e-mail to registration@gama.com.

Hope this helps a little...

[salamanca]

yeah, that line is not there for me. system glitch.

as I only had time for the HOA 3 and 4 on wednesday and thursday and one event friday morning at 8 am, odds are good I can bribe my way into those sessions with generics. (given I know the GMs pretty well)

[salamanca]

Charlie, I forgot to ask, what time did you want that wake-up call on Wednesday?

[cpugs]

Let's see, I have an 8 o'clock event, so what time would you like to go for breakfast???

[salamanca]

I won't get there wednesday until around 10. I will track you down on arrival
