This seems like a problem that I created and I apologize. I have 57 GMs, including several that have not previously run an event. I also appear to have the most "fluid" schedule, with alternate times being used possibly as much as 50% of the time. Therefore, yes, I desperately need my GMs to get a reminder e-mail, because apparently, GMs cannot read. They can't read the GM procedure file, the event description file, the badge requirements, the confirmation e-mails, the denial e-mails, etc. I am convinced that one of the prerequisites for being a Boardgames GM is to be illiterate. Unfortunately, this also means they will not read the reminder e-mail detailing their schedule.</div><div><br></div><div>Shane Sauby</div><div>Boardgames Supervisor</div><div><br></div> </div><div id="gmail-m_1340966959234913271yahoo_quoted_8512814317" class="gmail-m_1340966959234913271yahoo_quoted"> <div style="font-family:"Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;color:rgb(38,40,42)"> <div> On Wednesday, January 23, 2019, 8:25:43 PM PST, Strategicon Department Heads <<a href="mailto:deptheads@strategicon.net" target="_blank">deptheads@strategicon.net</a>> wrote: </div> <div><br></div> <div><br></div> <div><div id="gmail-m_1340966959234913271yiv3734217169"><div class="gmail-m_1340966959234913271yiv3734217169yqt9500072863" id="gmail-m_1340966959234913271yiv3734217169yqt88518"><div><div class="gmail-m_1340966959234913271yiv3734217169WordSection1"><p class="gmail-m_1340966959234913271yiv3734217169MsoNormal">I’d prefer that none of the LARP GMs receive such an email. My GMs will get a rather informative email from me this weekend, as they always do. I also keep them updated on the “LARPs at Strategicon” FB group, where I post our whole schedule and rally people to sign up for games. I am also already in conversation with them about space needs and game descriptions. No need to confuse them. </p><p class="gmail-m_1340966959234913271yiv3734217169MsoNormal"> </p><p class="gmail-m_1340966959234913271yiv3734217169MsoNormal">Tara</p><p class="gmail-m_1340966959234913271yiv3734217169MsoNormal"> </p><div style="border-color:rgb(225,225,225) currentcolor currentcolor;border-style:solid none none;border-width:1pt medium medium;padding:3pt 0in 0in"><p class="gmail-m_1340966959234913271yiv3734217169MsoNormal" style="border:medium none;padding:0in"><b>From: </b><a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" href="mailto:deptheads@strategicon.net" target="_blank">Strategicon Department Heads</a><br clear="none"><b>Sent: </b>Wednesday, January 23, 2019 8:11 PM<br clear="none"><b>To: </b><a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" href="mailto:deptheads@strategicon.net" target="_blank">deptheads@strategicon.net</a><br clear="none"><b>Subject: </b>Re: [Deptheads] Events and GMs</p></div><p class="gmail-m_1340966959234913271yiv3734217169MsoNormal"> </p><div><p class="gmail-m_1340966959234913271yiv3734217169MsoNormal">Not I, said the Party Games. </p><div><p class="gmail-m_1340966959234913271yiv3734217169MsoNormal"> </p></div><div><p class="gmail-m_1340966959234913271yiv3734217169MsoNormal">I send out an email to my GMs once my master schedule is set.
