I got really excited when I saw a GenCon Email in my Inbox!
Hello, If you are getting this email it is because you have been entered into the random selection process for a VIG badge for 2016. I intended to do the drawing today but circumstances have made that impossible. I still do not know exactly how many spots are open for this drawing so there is no way that I can complete the process today. I will be completing the selection process on this coming Friday. I do not know the exact time yet Be assured that if you are getting this email you are on the list for the random selection of a VIG badge. Once complete I will be contacting all of the winners with instructions on how to get your badge. I will also email all of you who were not selected so you will at least know that the process is complete. Best of luck! Best Regards, ________________ Mike Boozer
Booo. :(
I suspect the Boo was about the let down from the "OMG IT'S AN EMAIL FROM GENCON I MUST HAVE WON THE VIG LOTTERY" feeling when the message came in. Because I felt a bit of it too. lol
they should just have an auction and get it over with
(2. On the quality of the VIG program experience - It has had its ups and downs over the past 6 years. Last year I felt a lot of frustration, partly because of the above hotel situation, but also it felt much too crowed in the lounge and without the giant bean bag chairs, there was a severe lack of comfortable seating. One of my favorite things to do after walking miles and miles was to plop down on one of those comfy chairs. I realize those were provided by a sponsor, and the couches last year were nice, but too few. The VIG bag last year was pretty good in my opinion, but honestly, it's almost always stuff I give away anyhow. I had two bad experiences with VIG room workers that I don't want to get into the details of, but it made me feel like a very unimportant gamer. All of that said, I still think the VIG program is worth it because of the VIG room block and the ability to have 3 companions.....) Having a comfortable place to rest for a few minutes is one of the reasons I lay out the big bucks for my VIG membership. Frankly the beanbags space wasters and I didn't get near the things. There is a way of getting some cheap furniture for the lounge for Gen Con and Peter came up with the idea at one of the 1st Gen Con House parties. Just go to Good Will and buy some counchs for cheap and return them Sunday night or just trash them. We all thought it was great idea all those years ago.
Speaking of Xorbee (giant bean bag chairs), is Ben going to bring them back this year? Last year I heard it was a scheduling conflict. I hope that was it and that they are back this year.
VIG draft is today.
Good luck to all who are entered.
Anyone get an email yet? I've been obsessively refreshing my inbox all morning.
what are the odds?
Nothing here. :(

Got my email - it said I was not selected. ;-(
Not a winner here...
Me neither :( Congratulations to the lucky ones!
Me neither. My only hope for a Downtown Hotel is for the Housing lottery gods to smile upon me. :(
