might as well just shut yourself in and get some work done

That sounds horrible. And like you've got a lot of work to do if your kitchen has no heater and no lamps.

no, I have light and heat in here but nothing beats daylight for redecorating

The reason I have to rinse stuff out in the cold is because it needs to be done outside or you just get paint everywhere

Oh man that feedback thread is real good. I mean I'm not surprised at all at how bad these guys are at communicating with attendees and such, but I am also surprised at how bad they are at communicating with attendees and such. It's fascinating.

I do get a picture in my mind of what an event like that is like though and it kind of makes my skin crawl

I liked how a few people were complaining about overuse of the word HYPE and I'm like yeah some of us made that observation about four years ago

I juts never figured they'd have people showing up not knowing if they were even going to be able to run their game. I mean that just absurd.

Also some runners apparently being put on some sort of watchlist by the staff with no opportunity to defend themselves or open any sort of dialog is hilarious. gg nerds.

yeah I can understand the former if they want schedule flexibility but it does smack a bit of "our time is more important than yours"

the people complaining about how staff get paid but the runners don't is sort of the same sentiment

you have to be very careful with that sort of ivory tower nonsense or the whole thing can come crashing down really fast

yeah i think the problems started when they began paying staff

maybe it's unrealistic but i would have rather seen the event remain smaller but funded and driven entirely by volunteers

they could do a patreon or kickstarter or something for funds, people would probably buy into that

Yeah there's balancing act, and that's where not having people who can clearly explain things bites them. If they can't explain themselves, and it appears at times they just refuse to rather than fail to, people are gonna have a lot more to say than they want to hear.

Realistically anytime a charity event involves paid staff people are gonna have some questions. Responding with "Well, some get paid some don't." doesn't answer any of them.

yeah, and especially for a charity event i can understand people thinking it's weird

i agree to some extent

I have been wondering for a while when the donation total would not exceed the previous year and that seems to have happened this time. that's probably the point at which you want to stop trying to make it bigger and better and try to focus a bit more on what you're actually doing

they don't actually need to hold a convention, all they need is the runners

Next marathon they'll actually expand runner cam and further shrink run cam.

Also it will all be four player races.

Man I love introducing people to the GI Joe PSAs. It's like a certain kind of humour that fits so well. It has its borderline racisty sorta humor, but not quite bad enough to make your mom scowl. And they manage to not dwell on jokes too long.
