[Deptheads] Virtual Gamex

[Strategicon Department Heads]

We are going to have some events using Discord as our communication
resource. I will be having a limited amount of rooms available for each
time slot. Time slots will be:

Friday 2 & 7
Saturday 9, 2 & 7
Sunday 9, 2 & 7

I will be skipping Monday since it's usually a dead day for the
department, unless you guys want to change that. There will be no more than
12 channels available for each time slot. We will handle entering events
and approving events as normal in the system. There will be a 100%
pre-registration for each. You can have as many players per channel as you
think you can handle. One half hour before every game, an administrator
will re-name the channel for the upcoming game. Players will be sent an
invite to the discord after pre-registration ends. Alts can hang out in the
"pending" channel. If a game needs players the GM can hop on that channel
to recruit more players. There will also be an HQ channel where an HQ
volunteer or myself will be available to answer questions. I expect that
everyone will maintain the same high standards for conduct online as we are
accustomed to at Strategicon.

I wish that we could do this in person. Seeing smiling faces at this
convention fills my heart and I will miss that. The only requirement to
play is that you have a registered account with us to pre-reg. This is
completely free so we cannot offer dealer dollars or any of the regular
incentives like free badges.  We here want to remind everyone why we do
this. This is the time for us to come together as a community and provide
some much needed succor to our friends and fellow hobbyists. I have nothing
to offer you other than my thanks and appreciation for your love and effort.

Please feel free to enter events. Note that some events may not be approved
due to virtual space, so if you have a bunch of stuff in mind, put it in
the system and we can work it out.

I can use my own discord if you like or maybe we can set up different
discord accounts for the departments that expect heavy usage.
