[Deptheads] Demographics Sheets

[Evil5757 at aol.com]

I am not and never have aimed it at your department Neil. It is a problem  
that all departments face and have to work on. For boardgames, ERB and Karl 
came  up with some ideas for populating the descriptions through boardgame 
geek. 
 
My point is that ALL departments need to work on this so that a new person  
looking for something to do Friday at 7pm knows their options and doesn't  
have 3 events staring back at them without a clue what the game is about.
 
As far as hearing it again, it will continue to be heard until it is  
fixed...that is nothing personal, it is my job.

Nice to hear that complaint again. If you have the time, I invite you to do 
 it.

As far as descriptions, I still believe that EVERY event needs to have  a 
description on it. Tournaments need formats and point values (where  
applicable) and events need to give the reader a sense of what the game is  about to 
spark their interest. We are getting better, but there are almost  150 
events (almost 100 in boardgames alone) that have no description.
 
As for the sheets, if it is simple cut and paste not needing time I  would 
include the description - but it is not necessary.

Hi  Everyone,

I've reviewed the discussion about this topic from just  after Gateway. 
There was a lot of discussion of pros and cons, but not  much in the form of 
actual questions.

I've tweaked some of the  sheets to produce a more uniform look and 
hopefully help make the process  easier for you, payouts and whomever ends up doing 
the annual awards. I  only have real sheets from Monday of the con for 
RPGs, and a blank and the  file merge template for boardgames, so bare with me 
on this.

The  boardgame post-game sheet is basically what I'd expect the 
collectibles  and video games sheets would look like, unless I'm given more  
information.
The RPG sheet is basically what I'd expect the LARP sheets  to look like 
and possibly Miniatures, which brings me to an important  question. For RPGs 
and Miniatures, it seems most events have no winners,  but the few that do, 
need to be handled. How are we handling these events  currently? And, this 
Orccon, we have a LARP tournament, how is that being  handled? [I'm referring 
to our paperwork, not outside  sponsorship.]

The one exception to the format would be a longer  sign-up list for the 
LARPs. Would LARPs have alts? Would LARPs need the  list to continue on the 
back?

So, what this comes down to...
Do  you like the new formats?
Do you have any suggestions for questions to  put on these sheets? Please 
be specific as to whether it's for all depts  or which. Yes, no, or numeric 
answers are best, but I want to hear what  inquiring minds would like to know?

I'm working on the sign-up  sheets next. Do miniatures sign-up sheets 
have/need the description on  them like RPGs?

Also, how does each dept generate the sign-up  sheets? I appear to have the 
data for boardgames. Not sure about the rest  of you. Just because you've 
mentioned it to me, doesn't mean I remember.  I'm trying to make this a 
smooth modification.

There is also the  possibility of a questionaire, and/or suggestions form 
to be available at  each dept and registration. These are obviously 
voluntary, but we really  should offer specific ways for people to comment on things. 
The Feedback  Forum only works for those who are willing and able to 
attend. Again, what  questions?

Tanya
