FIVE hours of Hungry Shark Week Left!

Just a reminder that the first round of game allocations will close at 7pm on Friday 8th June. We’re expecting a lot of games to sell out, so make sure you get your registration in before the cut off.

Please make sure when selecting games that you do not put the same game for each choice. Your second and third choices will be treated as Lucky Dip if you do not specify another choice/not attending.

To clarify:
Please do not do this:
Round 1 - Friday Night
First Choice: Bad Dreams
Second Choice: Bad Dreams
Third Choice: Bad Dreams

Putting the same game in each choice does not increase your chance of getting into the game. It just means I don’t know what your second and third preferences are.

This is how it will be proccessed:
Round 1 - Friday Night
First Choice: Bad Dreams
Second Choice: Lucky Dip
Third Choice: Lucky Dip

This is how to fill it out:
Round 1 - Friday Night
First Choice: Bad Dreams
Second Choice: First Night
Third Choice: The Dance and the Dawn

or
Round 1 - Friday Night
First Choice: Bad Dreams
Second Choice: Not Attending
Third Choice: Not Attending

Can you confirm: Do we need to pay by the end of this week to “lock in” those choices or is registration itself sufficient?

Cheers :slight_smile:

(P.S Everyone should play 13 Angry Men on Sunday! :wink: )

Yes - what Matt asked. I can pay now at a push, but if it makes no difference it’ll be more convenient a bit later.

[quote]When do I have to pay by?

Popular games often fill up fast, so to ensure your spot, make sure you make payment within 4 weeks of receiving your game confirmation in order to keep your place in the games you selected. Players will not be cast in games (i.e. receive characters) until payment has been received. This reduces stress for our Game Masters who are assured the people they have cast will turn up on the day, and allows you to secure your place in the games you want![/quote]

Guilty. Though in mitigation, I did it for the game I was GMing, because no other options on the form really seemed appropriate.

That’s fine - you really don’t actually have a second or third choice for the slots you’re GMing.

The issue is that if you’re playing, and you put the same game in each option, and you don’t get into that game, then I have no idea what to do with you. :frowning:

Make them stand in a corner facing the wall? While the rest of the convention point and laughs? :stuck_out_tongue:

Guilty too, for reasons of GMing. And so did Dave :stuck_out_tongue:

See above, all fine for GMs :slight_smile:

Awesome, thanks.

Just registered - the site looks purty! I had to make some hard choices about what to play

I’ve extended Hungry Shark Week out by five hours, so you have until midnight tonight to get in before the first cut off :smiley:

My only issue with this is that I would like to wait a bit to find out which games I’ve actually made it into before paying (difference between paying for 3 games and paying for a weekend etc). Will we get told “Hey you’ve made it into my game, now pay so I can give you a character!” by the GMs?

In a week or two, you will receive a game confirmation email which will tell you which games you have gotten into :slight_smile: You have four weeks after that within which to pay. So payment is not expected until we have confirmed your games :slight_smile:
