Whoo hoo, dates!

Any word on the hotel date?

Earlier I couldn't log in until I agreed to (what I thought were) the updated Terms of Service.  However, they still reference the 2018 date:

All participants in Gen Con LLC's ("Gen Gon") 2018 convention ("convention") held August 1 - 5, 2018 in Indianapolis, Indiana, are required to, and hereby do, assume all risk of participation in the convention by accepting this terms of service agreement ("agreement") and the assumption of risk and release of liability described below.

 

  • All refund requests must be made by the end of day on June 17, 2018 at 11:59 pm (Eastern). Absolutely no badge cancellation requests will be honored after June 17, 2018, 11:59 pm (Eastern). (Exchanges can be made onsite starting August 1, 2018.)
  • Cancellations and refunds requested before the June 17th deadline will be processed during Gen Con Customer Service hours.
  • Refund requests received prior to the June 17th deadline will be issued a refund and credited back to the original credit card or system credit used for purchase, less any administrative fees.

Time to get them updated :-)

Derp.  They did the same thing last year.

I've let "Them" know. No giant ant jokes, please; Greg and the gang are good folk.

I also wouldn't mind knowing when the housing portal opens this year.

That was my best guess. I see Gen Con just confirmed it.

Hey folks, if you sign up for the newsletter using the link that Mike posted ^, can you let me know if you don't receive it? I've heard a couple reports of this happening, and just want to make sure everyone gets the latest news. For reference, I usually publish newsletters on Thursdays or Fridays. They populate on the homepage of gencon.com under the "News" section. 

Also, Mike, I'm curious about your Orc polling process... for marketing purposes. /:)

I believe it involves the liberal application of a blunt object until the subject indicates a preference.

Use a mostly dead goblin, they let you swing harder but are less likely to break a jaw and keep them from responding.

Goblins are simply a blunt, squishy, object.

The squishiness factor depends on how much armor they are wearing.

Who the heck is wasting good armor on Goblins???
