Countdown to Origins 2018Re: Countdown to Origins 2018So, our Origins friends seem to have made a game within the game for us. The online event spreadsheet has been scrambled today and is no longer in chronological order.
Re: Countdown to Origins 2018At least you can get the grid. I just keep getting the good old database/server error on the site as a whole.
Re: Countdown to Origins 2018Ask and ye shall receive...
Re: Countdown to Origins 2018Ah, the traditional yearly Crashing of the Servers.
"He used the Force!"
"Yeah, mass times acceleration!"
Re: Countdown to Origins 2018
And, that's just what was missing! Thanks, Mark.
And, this year is worse that in previous years, IMO.
Re: Countdown to Origins 2018Registration is (finally) done.....
Re: Countdown to Origins 2018Do we have the Club Code yet?
Re: Countdown to Origins 2018Only took 6.5 hours to register, and surprising only missed out on 1 event. Looks like I'm going to Columbus... Now I have to figure out the LARP, what to wear, who to play.....
Re: Countdown to Origins 2018I cannot find MegaParanoia on Saturday night for Mike...it IS #1176, right?
ETA: *double-checks updated grid* Yep it still is...but I am not seeing ANYTHING for MP on Saturday. Nothing under Megaparanoia, 1176 or that Sccob (and yes, that's how it was in the grid listing) title under ANYTHING (LARPS, et al).

And here's where I try to be a writer...
Re: Countdown to Origins 2018Well, finally.
I managed to get eleven events. Except for one; and, that does not come up under either the event number or the name.
Re: Countdown to Origins 2018
If you do a search on the event # (1176), and use "all" for both the date and the game type, it comes up.
Re: Countdown to Origins 2018Thanks, Cait...must have fixed the "All" option after I went to bed. Mike can sign up himself when he gets home now.
But yeah...Event Ready is a piece of outdated fecal matter and needs to be fired. We at least got into the events we wanted at the times we liked, but it was NOT a fun afternoon yesterday. "You're still mad at me about that whole 'gun-pointing' thing, aren't you?" -- Fortunato Valeri

Re: Countdown to Origins 2018
I hear you - I spent about 6 hours repeatedly attempting to register. I could find all of my events, but it wouldn't let me add them to my itinerary. Incredibly frustrating, but at least it's done.
Re: Countdown to Origins 2018
Alas we do not. I will email them today.
Re: Countdown to Origins 2018
I should note, however, that we didn't get them until May 10th last year.
Re: Countdown to Origins 2018That is still not cool. That code has no reason to need to be available when they start badge reg.
I don't mind growing old... but I hate growing up.
Re: Countdown to Origins 2018So I managed to miss the LARP while picking my tickets, and now it won't let me pay for it, as it, there is no option to enter a payment. Stepping away before I throw my computer.
"He used the Force!"
"Yeah, mass times acceleration!"
Re: Countdown to Origins 2018Clearly they are hoping that people won't bother to ask for the refund.
Re: Countdown to Origins 2018Deb, generics will cover you for the LARP. Same for anybody else in the same situation. We don't turn folks away from that who are regulars.
I don't mind growing old... but I hate growing up.
Re: Countdown to Origins 2018
I actually got a ticket for the LARP (unless you were talking to another Deb....) I even signed up for a couple of seminar sessions on Saturday.
Re: Countdown to Origins 2018I guess he was answering me. I'm not too worried, just annoyed that it really does get worse and worse every year. I pointed out on their FB page that I stood in line with pencil and paper my first year, and it was faster and less frustrating than this mess.
"He used the Force!"
"Yeah, mass times acceleration!"
Re: Countdown to Origins 2018
Wow...you’re old
Re: Countdown to Origins 2018Uphill! In the snow! BOTH WAYS!

And here's where I try to be a writer...
Re: Countdown to Origins 2018Got an email from Origins this morning, apologizing for the issues on Wednesday, and asking me to fill out a survey...
Re: Countdown to Origins 2018Well that should be fun. And speaking of old, I recall mailing in the event list, waiting for confirmation and still having two months before the con to play refresher sessions at home.
Every con on Earth handles this same thing but only Origins makes a hash of it. EVERY TIME. I don't mind growing old... but I hate growing up.
