<div dir="ltr">Hi Tanya. Thanks. I am happy to make more guides in the same vein; getting the graphics and changing them isn't too difficult, so we'll alter them and the text for workflow once we have the new process down. The hope is that the process becomes smooth and intuitive enough that a guide is unwarranted, but in the meantime, I will do my best to make sure folks have aids. If other heads can think of processes that are difficult or present roadblocks to our attendees, let me know. I have done similar guides for a corporation as part of compliance, and for schools and events as part of general inclusion. I want our attendees to be able to get into their events and have a good time as easily and smoothly as we can manage.<div><br></div><div>Best,</div><div><br></div><div>Tara</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, May 27, 2020 at 12:33 PM Strategicon Department Heads <<a href="mailto:deptheads@strategicon.net">deptheads@strategicon.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">Message From: Tanya Aldrich <a href="mailto:taldrich@strategicon.net" target="_blank">taldrich@strategicon.net</a><br>
<div style="overflow-wrap: break-word;">I really liked the visual guides. Please keep them around for a while.

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. <br><br>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. </div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, May 27, 2020 at 12:03 PM Angelica Magno <<a href="mailto:angelicamagno.ing@gmail.com" target="_blank">angelicamagno.ing@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Of course, Tanya. <br><br>I can type out the stuff in email format and sent it before the meeting. A lot of issues are sometimes on the players' end, as well. I do admit to that. I also had really bad internet issues/mic issues during con and had to use my phone/its service to work around that. I agree that a lot of glitches that we cannot help if it is their own system/devices malfunctioning. I'll probably send that list of improvements we can make on our end later tonight. Thanks to you and Rob for immediately making some edits to the website, I did see your email about that last night. </div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, May 27, 2020 at 11:55 AM Strategicon Department Heads <<a href="mailto:deptheads@strategicon.net" target="_blank">deptheads@strategicon.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">Message From: Tanya Aldrich <a href="mailto:taldrich@strategicon.net" target="_blank">taldrich@strategicon.net</a><br>
I can be there.<br>
<br>
If possible, please email any web related issues and requests be to me A.S.A.P. That way, it will be documented, and a lot of stuff can be hashed out in advance. If things need a 1 on 1 discord audio chat, that can be arranged. It’s just hard to discuss such a broad topic in the group meeting without something being missed, and my questionable mic doesn’t help.<br>
<br>
I’d like to get a list together of everything folks can think of that needs addressing with as many details as we can, and I’ll post the list to this list before the meeting.<br>
<br>
I’m not saying not to discuss the website at the meeting, since it was a big part of the con this time. I just would like to get some of the data in advance.<br>
<br>
For example, we need a page or more of details on being virtual and using Discord. The main issue I had was audio being $^&*%$*, most likely by a combo of poor bandwidth on the player’s end and having their camera on. From experience, turning your camera off isn’t always obvious, depending on your device. I only write content for the site if I know what I’m writing about. So, others need to put together the info, and I or Eric A will edit/format it into content, as needed. We can include videos, but we can’t depend on them to convey the knowledge.<br>

> I brought this up to Jim, Mike, and Eric A. during Gamex, that maybe we should do a post-con meeting while the convention is still fresh, but of course it would be best to get everyone's buy-in. Are you all down for a post-con meeting this Sunday at noon PST, same Bat Time, same Bat Channel? We should celebrate the successes of the weekend, talk about what we can do better, and discuss what we needed and found we didn't need, etc. Let us know if this works for you and if we can count you in, or if you'd prefer a different day. Whenever we do it, I will take entertaining notes. Someone should take good ones. ;)<br>
