[Deptheads] Card Game Department

[Evil5757 at aol.com]

Also,
 
I have no problems with not running any of the card game events if  Shane's 
staff just wants to handle it. It was brought up at the Board Meeting  that 
there are no card games anymore and I said fine, I'd run them. If they  
will be run by the Boardgame department, so much the better.
 
Shane? Dean? Ideas?

"temporary interference" = This is not a permanent  intrusion 
"benign" = no hidden agenda and for the greater  good 
"achieve a goal" = in this case the goal is to have  traditional cards up 
and running again or have them die out.

I interpret this as follows: 
 

 
"temporary interference" = political  shannanigans
 
"benign" = lazy
 
"achieve a goal" = make it look like they're fixing a  problem without 
actually having to do anything

Shane,
 

 
It  is not its own department, think of it as an area of interest that we 
are  trying to build up again.  See below for the answers to your specific  
questions.

Good  afternoon,

 
 


 
 
So,  a few questions regarding the new Card Games Department:

 
 


 
 
Who  is responsible for creating/checking/submitting the paperwork?
 
-->Board  Games

 
 


 
 
Do  different types of forms need to be created?
 
-->No

 
 


 
 
Who  is responsible for editing/approving the events?
 
-->You  are

 
 


 
 
Does  boardgames need to create flags for these events?
 
-->Yup

 
 


 
 
Does  boardgames need to provide ribbons for these events?
 
-->Ribbons  yes, we are still working on the “prizes” 
 


 
 


 
 
Is  John going to be the GM for all these events (i.e. picking up 
paperwork,  setting up tables, keeping track of winners, filling out and submitting  
paperwork when the event is over)? 
 
-->If  we don’t find anyone else to GM, yes.

 
 


 
 
I am also curious as to why card games needs to be its own department.   
Traditional card games has been a part of boardgames for years, going back  to 
when I worked for Jack Butler.  The reason there have not been  events the 
past few cons is that no one wanted to run them.  If John  wanted to run 
card game events, couldn't he have simply submitted these  events like everyone 
else to the boardgames department?
 
-->Exactly

 
 


 
 
I am bringing this up because I would like a clear understanding of what is 
 expected of me with regards to this new department.  I am concerned due  
to past experiences with the creation of the Wargames Department and the  
rocky start I had when it was created.  I was told there was a new  department 
with its own department head, budget, and schedule, yet I was  responsible 
for the paperwork.  Sound familiar?  So this time, I  would like things 
explained and clearly delineated before going  forward.
 
-->There  is no new department, think of it as temporary interference from 
your benign  overloards to achieve a goal.  

 
 
 


 
 
Shane  Sauby

 
 
Boardgames  Supervisor
