[Deptheads] Boardgames Query

[Tim]

Patrick,

Is being an asshole a requirement for running boardgames or does it just 
come naturally to you?  Either way you excel at it. 

My goal is to make the convention as a whole better.  This departmental 
fiefdom bullshit needs to stop.  Each department SHOULD be working 
towards the goal of improving the con.  You need to be an advocate for 
your department, but you also need to remember YOU are your department 
are not the convention.  Anything that increases one department but 
hurts another isn't good for the con as a whole.  The idea is to get 
more people into the venue, which generates more revenue and allows a 
better venue, etc...

I remember RSI...I liked the energy they had and think they would be a 
good addition to the con.  Putting them in open gaming (which is where I 
recall them being seems like a good idea).  If you disagree, ok...lets 
figure a place to put them.  You comments were uncalled for and not 
productive.  Is there some personal reason you don't want RSI at 
Orccon...And remember, open gaming is for all games... not just open 
_boardgaming_

I am curious though...can you explain how you would need the same number 
of tables and amount of room if you had 6 events versus 30 between 9a - 
11p?
