Luke: Regarding Registration Changes

some of us are not balding yet...

 

Addendum to my earlier Post: I was one of the ones affected by by the over sale of tickets to games and would recommend the following

We were notified on Friday that registration would reopen Sunday at noon, since we had our tickets, we assumed all was fixed and went about our business
Late Saturday we got a generic email that a game has been oversold and to check our accounts (after plans for Sunday had been made and many people do not check email on weekends) So those of us who had tickets to games through no fault of our own, were now suddenly competing with an entire convention full of people to replace the oversold tickets if we could be there when registration reopned


Notifying the GP over sale should have been done with a personal email and an offer to allow them to find another ticket without having to compete with everyone
Sending a list of available GP games would have helped

Even lying to me and saying that if someone returns a ticket I would be on a wait list... dim hope is better than no hope

Some of us running games have specific time limits on when we can play and I am very narrow minded on what game systems I am interested in

I understand that things happen, I was more upset by the way it was handled and the statements after the fact. I simple do not feel like my value is recognized...

Yes, I reacted poorly to this whole situation, for that I am sorry, but I feel my personal needs were not being addressed as compared to the commitment I made

Now I have had to buy games I really have no interests in playing simply to have something in my pocket if I feel like playing (although the World War Tesla did peek my interests)

 

Ahhh Management of Expectations...you are an elusive mistress....
