The sad part is there was no reason that justified having more restrictions this year than last, every metric is better this year, so this could be permanent thing.

I would expect the mask requirement to be dropped before the vaccine requirement, personally.

Also not that anything will change anyone's minds (I think the concept of arguments changing people's minds is a relic of the 1980s) but I laugh every time I see someone saying that requiring masks and vaccines is a symptom of "panic and fear" when I have absolutely no fear of COVID-19, nor do most people I know who wear masks anywhere.  We do, however, respect that anyone can be a vector of transmission to someone who actually has reason to be afraid (whether immunocompromised or elderly) and take more precautions than we might personally find reasonable or necessary.  As I said, I actually got COVID-19 just a month ago myself from being lax since I do, in fact, have no fear of it myself, and was not being as diligent as I should.

"Note that locations Gen Con does not directly control, such as hotel lobbies, hallways, connectors, restaurants, etc. will have their own policies and these are likely to be more lax."

Sounds like lots of open gaming at the hotels!

 

you don’t even need a government id to vote why should a kid need one to attend Gencon. They said upfront this is the requirement and then made it stricter after they said they wouldn’t. It may not seem like a big deal but it is another hoop to jump through. 

Then they will have to accept that attendance/growth will pretty much flatline because more people aren't going to get vaccinated if they haven't after 2 1/2 years so, you've sealed out that crowd and the subset that is tired of masks will grow as more and more entertainment avenues open up that you don't need to wear a mask for.  Then again... maybe they are ok with that.

We still need to determine exact logistics. We will post times and stations when we have made those arrangements final.

Good question about kids and ID's. I will bring it up and see if we can get some clarity on the subject.

Thanks all (Or most all) for helping us keep this thread live.

I'm now locking it and starting a new one where you can ask logistical questions about the policy.
