Tim,
Everyone that is on-board now as a volunteer or staff member are, in my opinion, working to improve the convention not just there department. Patrick has soon this to be the case on several occasions in the past. Your attitude and comments where a personal attack on Patrick and as Mark has already stipulated where unacceptable.
Norm

It's not a flame war Mark,
Patrick has jumped all over two very reasonable suggestions and has
been condescending and combative. If you object to the term I
used...fine. Patrick I apologise for calling you an asshole. Perhaps
I should have considered my words more carefully. However I stand by
the rest of what I said.

I do share frustration that Patrick seems to fight the inclusion of
RSI. However, your stated goal of trying to make the convention better
does NOT nor SHOULD NOT include the attack you just leveled. The only
way to get the convention better is for us to work together. Of course
we will have disagreements as to the best way to do so, but they are
just that, disagreements not some call to battle or flame-war.
Find a better way of communicating your concerns so we can make the
cons a better place.
Mark.

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?

Tim,
We have the same number of
people
whether we have 30 or 6 events going fom 9am to 11pm.
If you want them so bad, let's
put
them in the computer room, you can make room for them by just adjusting
the hours the people working get to play, right?

Patrick,
I realize that, but I think if we spread the events out...beginning
earlier and ending later rather then concentrating during the peak ten
to two time slots we will be able to get more out of our existing
tables and make better use of the room we have available..

Tim,
This is our biggest con of
the
year, Boadrgames overflowed big time last year, and if we can not have
them at this con, but at another con, Then they become a special
attraction for that con, and we get 4-5 extra tables.

Oh yeah...I remember who they are, I just never knew them by that
name...
Nice thing about them, by virtue of how they operate, you can generate
an accurate list of how much interest they generate. We should stick
them in the corner in open gaming...I think they would be a good draw...
Wait...someone said we don't have room for them? Why is that?
