[Deptheads] Clarification of a point

[Eric Burgess]

If you want some more attendance at the feedback seminar (which, after this
showing, I'm not sure is really all that valuable), then offer free food or
prizes for attendees that come and share their comments (i.e., call on
people to voice their opinion while they are stuffing themselves with free
pizza). I thought we had done this before but I didn't see it in the conbook
this time.

Or, just cancel it and ask people to fill out cards with their comments
(again, perhaps for a drawing for a free badge to the next con) or ask them
to e-mail a certain person who gathers the feedback or post to the forum.

Asking people to give up some of their gaming weekend so they can complain
about what they don't like without any compensation likely only appeals to a
very small and whiny bunch - and making decisions purely on their feedback
may not be wise.
