First-Come-First-Serve Policy.
Hey Everyone!
Due to our overflowing activity during the weekly meets, its come to mind that we need to have a set policy when it comes to who gets to participate in the con.
Its a circling debate: Should experienced/Older Members always get in? But if that was true, new members would never be able to experience a weekly meet.
Therefor: Until Houses/Roomcaps get optimized I'm making a first-come-first serve policy.
This means if you want to get in the con, its a good idea to get there early so you have a guaranteed spot. I'm sorry if this is an inconvenience for anyone, and we know its unfair for people who have different timezones. But until we come up with a solution, wether it being multiple rooms, different dates, or more then one Con every week, this will be our policy. If your a mod, please get there early!
As an additional note, last week, TR Clan's house filled up to a good 7 people since Hachiko-6114 was completely full. If theres a good group of people at /house TR Clan, I might send a room mod from Hachiko over there to do a few contests.
Thanks!

Re: First-Come-First-Serve Policy.
alright, it makes sense... maybe you could have a yulgar-6114 con room, hachiko-6114 room and the /house tr clan if it gets so full
Re: First-Come-First-Serve Policy.
I agree with graarg.
Anyway, I agree with the first come first serve.

Re: First-Come-First-Serve Policy.
Thats the plan, Graarg. The hierarchy is like this:
Hachiko-6114 > /house TR Clan > Yulgar-6114 > Hachiko-6114 on a different server (Hopefully it won't come to that, though. :P)
Hachiko-6114 > /house TR Clan > Yulgar-6114 > Hachiko-6114 on a different server (Hopefully it won't come to that, though. :P)
Re: First-Come-First-Serve Policy.
That would really depend on the circumstances and would be decided by the Moderator. For example, it wouldn't be fair to award 5,000 Points to the winner of fashion if only 3 people would be competing.
Re: First-Come-First-Serve Policy.
Roger that, commander.
I've never had a chance to go to a Con anyway, so I doubt it applies to me.

Sounds like a good idea, kicking people out is too hard anyway.

Re: First-Come-First-Serve Policy.
Well, I think it should be to where all mods/admins get in and then who else gets there gets to stay.

Re: First-Come-First-Serve Policy.
This perplexes me. I came two whole hours early one time and there was someone already there. And what happens when someones browser crashes? Then the next person to take there spot doesn't want to give up there spot. And I think too many of the points come from the Con. I say we come up with some more point related things on the forums or move some of the stuff from the Con to the forums. The gameshow could easily held at the chatbox, where everyone could come.

Re: First-Come-First-Serve Policy.
Again, I don't want to make requirements for people to attend.
If someone really has the time to be 2 Hours early I suppose they can, but members should still be able to get in 20-10 minutes early.
As far as browser crashes, I don't know what to say. We have a few members that have bad connections but for the most part users can make it through the whole con. I'll look into the forum contests, but for now this is the only way we can do it thats fairest for everyone.

Re: First-Come-First-Serve Policy.
I'm a little confused. So lets say 15 people are in one room, and only 1 is outside, trying to get in. Would that one person be able to compete? Or would he/she be left out of it for being one person late :/
Maybe in this occurence we could split the rooms 8 and 8, and have a mod at each room.
I think also non-mods could run some areas if we are short on them. Lots of people that aren't mods want to take a leadership role.

Re: First-Come-First-Serve Policy.
I hate to say it, but splitting rooms never works. People don't like to be divided, people start gotoing, and then you start getting really uneven numbers.
If its only one person trying to get in, I'm afraid they're out of luck.
If we're short on mods and have a potential of another party room, then I would nominate a trusted member, yes.

Re: First-Come-First-Serve Policy.
Hmm, can't wait to see more forum related points, the only real thing we get points for is TR Con!
PS: Sent you a PM on the topic Vamp, if you haven't already read it.

Re: First-Come-First-Serve Policy.
shame, I won't be attending then. Its hard to get on at night as it is, but this way it makes it sheer impossible. No, I am not angry or disappointed (before someone thinks I do), it was the logical thing to do. HF,GL,BBQ
I still don't get why everyone wants points XDDD
