I have a Platinum badge and about 30 extra silver I cant spend between the games I'm running the rest of the games I picked. Is there any use for the extra silver?
In theory, you can register for some random games and then hand out the tickets for said games. I think it says specifically in the Registration Know it All blog post that the tickets are transferable.... ...in theory...
That would kind of suck. I'd hate to see people who want to get into a game be denied because someone else registered for a spot they don't intend to use. Yeah, you might find someone to take your ticket, but wouldn't you rather see the ticket go to someone who really wants into the game? Why make them anxiously wait next to the table hoping the Ticket Fairy will appear with a ticket and that they will be the lucky one to get it at the last minute?
Look...I'm just giving a suggestion. Fact is, all this worry by adults about what they will or will not get in is silly to me.
Some people like to have a plan, particularly introverts who have to travel hundreds of miles to attend the convention.
I would agree that it's nicer to just leave them unspent and the events to be bought by people lower than you in line. BTW, you may win the title of "Most Committed Traveler" this year. The previous longest trip I remember was Luca (who hasn't been for a few years), coming from Italy. Are you an American overseas, or an actual Russian?
Ex-pat, I'm an academic who married a Russian girl. I think Luke mentioned there's a Flarhagan Award. I'm pretty certain if someone comes from Western Europe I have them beat for distance!
Just for kicks it looks like one needs to be afloat in the Indian Ocean to be the furthest point on the globe from Lake Geneva. http://www.antipodr.com/
Um, I honestly have no idea who you are..... Hans is my first guess. But I have American relatives named Hans but nice to meet you in any event!
He found a great deal on his flight, so he was able to revise his goal down, but still is only about halfway there.
