[Deptheads] Clarification of a point

[Evil5757 at aol.com]

I want to make sure everyone is clear on one thing...all I said about the  
RPG department is they did a great job, all the problems of the past have been  
resolved except we open ourselves up to possible litigation by not having a  
presence in a large area that we are responsible for.  
 
There have been no fights at Strategicon events to my knowledge.   There have 
been fights at other conventions across the country.
 
I did NOT say move RPG HQ to the 3rd floor, I said get an HQ up there so we  
have a presence there.  I remember when we were first talking about what to  
change and not to change that a concern was how the different departments from  
previous ownership branched off, were shut away, and didn't keep in touch 
with  the attendees.  On my way home from the con I was thinking about this and  
what we needed to do and how to word it.
 
Everyone please re-read what I WROTE about everything.  
 
I am NOT advocating event fees....I am suggesting refundable with interest  
deposits to hold your spot.  
 
My point on Open Gaming is that we MUST make it a priority to give Open  
Gaming a space, and without an Open Gaming department, it gets forgotten or  
thrown by the wayside.  
 
My point on volunteers is that we need to work on getting more so we CAN  
start giving people more time off and we CAN open up Miniatures on Friday and  
Monday.  
 
I admitted I knew VERY little about the D&D 4e situation, my suggestion  was 
to give it it's own room for our first Con with it and highlight it so  people 
know where they can check it out.  Knowing limited information about  it, I 
thought it would be in the RPGs where D&D has always been, and it is  
reasonable that someone else with limited knowledge of it would look there and  not 
find it.
 
Off subject, yes, I very much want to grow the M&M attendance to what  it 
was, and I will be bringing with me a staff of people who will be doing  M&M and 
introducing GQ so everyone gets time off and the space is utilized  from 10am 
to about 11pm straight through each day.  I had over 20 comments  of people 
who knew people that played M&M that were not at Con and were  going to tell 
them about it, and there are about 30 GQ players in Anaheim alone  that I am 
going to lure to Con because it has NEVER been played on 1/700  scale.
 
Also, I still have my Ludinn staff shirt and info, but tried the old  number 
I had and it is no longer in service.  Last time they were at Con I  believe 
was February 2006.  Maybe Registration can search and see if anyone  has Ludinn 
in their notes with contact information?
