<div dir="ltr">Hi Karla, <div><br></div><div>IF I do manage to get more donations for the sweepstakes, I will need enough volunteers to sit in on all the events I have (which I won't get a better idea of until a bit closer to con). They will need to make a little speech beforehand letting people know that if they are 18+ and live in the US they are granted an entry. They will need to have access to a shared google excel sheet and input first/last names, and game played. We did this privately through discord accounts or whispered via Zoom for those kind of events. This is only for ING department games. That being said they would need to be reliable and likely have a copy of TTS already. I had a few people from last virtual con but unfortunately more than half of them were not reliable and I will not be asking them to come back. As such, if this is the case I would likely need 3-4 more people who are actively available for the weekend so I can assign them games to sit in on. They would also act as my ears and let me know if someone is being super unreasonable in a game (hasn't been an issue yet) so that I can go in and address the concerns. </div><div><br></div><div>I don't have a very good idea of number of events or available volunteers yet. I'll let you know if I need more folks or if the sweepstakes is even happening this con around. Just messaging to give context about what I'd need the volunteers to do. </div><div><br></div><div>Angelica</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, Aug 13, 2020 at 12:26 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: Jason DuVall <a href="mailto:nekojin@gmail.com" target="_blank">nekojin@gmail.com</a><br>

<div dir="ltr"><div>I got several replies from people who would like to help out in monitoring Discord rooms, etc. <br></div><div>What I need to know is....who wants these folks?
