[Deptheads] Strategicon - Troubling Trend

[Kryssie]

I understand that.  I do believe you and I had been talking about space
(not for this convention, for future conventions) which is why it's not
completely set in stone.  It is also why I have option B of these games at
these times for these departments.  I thought we were brainstorming how to
make everything work, so I tossed out suggestions.  That is all.
