[Deptheads] Meeting this Sunday?

[Strategicon Department Heads]

Jason, I like the idea of a visual "self" troubleshooting guide for
discord. Tara had come up with a document for badge registration in the
middle of con that was really helpful for some lost people who found our
discord through a link shared on Facebook. Malakai had also come up with a
visual for just signing up for games, and we found that the attendees
really responded well to that kind of help.

I think a lot of it could be solved by combining the efforts of the boosts,
which Malakai and I have discussed. That's definitely a discord thing,
where better audio quality comes from how much money you put into the
server. The main server was at a Level 2. The best level is level 3 and
gives better audio quality/image quality. I think right off the back we had
agreed to start next virtual con at level 3, so fingers crossed that makes
some improvement.
