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="yahoo_quoted_8512814317" class="yahoo_quoted"> <div style="font-family:'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;color:#26282a;"> <div> On Wednesday, January 23, 2019, 8:25:43 PM PST, Strategicon Department Heads <deptheads@strategicon.net> wrote: </div> <div><br></div> <div><br></div> <div><div id="yiv3734217169"><style>#yiv3734217169 #yiv3734217169 -- _filtered #yiv3734217169 {panose-1:2 4 5 3 5 4 6 3 2 4;} _filtered #yiv3734217169 {font-family:Calibri;panose-1:2 15 5 2 2 2 4 3 2 4;} #yiv3734217169 #yiv3734217169 p.yiv3734217169MsoNormal, #yiv3734217169 li.yiv3734217169MsoNormal, #yiv3734217169 div.yiv3734217169MsoNormal {margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;font-size:11.0pt;font-family:sans-serif;} #yiv3734217169 a:link, #yiv3734217169 span.yiv3734217169MsoHyperlink {color:blue;text-decoration:underline;} #yiv3734217169 a:visited, #yiv3734217169 span.yiv3734217169MsoHyperlinkFollowed {color:#954F72;text-decoration:underline;} #yiv3734217169 .yiv3734217169MsoChpDefault {} _filtered #yiv3734217169 {margin:1.0in 1.0in 1.0in 1.0in;} #yiv3734217169 div.yiv3734217169WordSection1 {} #yiv3734217169 </style><div class="yiv3734217169yqt9500072863" id="yiv3734217169yqt88518"><div><div class="yiv3734217169WordSection1"><p class="yiv3734217169MsoNormal">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="yiv3734217169MsoNormal"> </p><p class="yiv3734217169MsoNormal">Tara</p><p class="yiv3734217169MsoNormal"> </p><div style="border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in;"><p class="yiv3734217169MsoNormal" style="border:none;padding:0in;"><b>From: </b><a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" ymailto="mailto:deptheads@strategicon.net" target="_blank" href="mailto:deptheads@strategicon.net">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" ymailto="mailto:deptheads@strategicon.net" target="_blank" href="mailto:deptheads@strategicon.net">deptheads@strategicon.net</a><br clear="none"><b>Subject: </b>Re: [Deptheads] Events and GMs</p></div><p class="yiv3734217169MsoNormal"> </p><div><p class="yiv3734217169MsoNormal">Not I, said the Party Games. </p><div><p class="yiv3734217169MsoNormal"> </p></div><div><p class="yiv3734217169MsoNormal">I send out an email to my GMs once my master schedule is set.
