Rules of the Convention

Just a friendly reminder on some of the rules we need to have for the convention:

1:  Be courteous to everyone.  The guy you hate so much from the game that you’re bitching about at the con may be standing right next to you.  Hell, he may own the game and have access to your pfile.  So use some tact.

2:  During the round table, its important that everyone allow the person who has the floor the opportunity to speak without having to yell over you.  So keep the chatter down please.

3:  No drinking in the pool, vomiting, urinating or doing anything to the chalet that will cost me my $750 damage deposit.

4:  No fighting. Duh.

5:  Watch your language. There are children present at con.

6:  No one under 18 is allowed without their parents.

7:  Bring your own booze, don’t be drinking other people’s.

8:  Don’t be a mooch.  If we order pizza, pitch in.  Don’t stay overnight in someone’s chalet or cabin without explicit permission.  Clean up after yourself.  Help keep the place clean.

9: Keep your clothes on in public. Unless you’re really hawt and female.  Then just don’t let kids see.

10:  Don’t bitch about the game or I’ll ignore all of your con card turn ins or just ask you to leave the con.

11:  Don’t harass Scorn for stuff that you could otherwise do in email.

12:  If you bring kids, WATCH THEM!! You will be asked to leave if other people end up having to be a parent for you because you got drunk or are otherwise just a terrible parent.

13:  Smoking and Pets are not allowed inside the cabin.  DO NOT DROP YOUR CIGGARETTE BUTTS ON THE GROUND!!!!

14:  Courtesy flushes.  Seriously.

 

 Directions to the Chalet:  Hidden Point Lodge

From Pigeon Forge into Gatlinburg on 441:

After entering Gatlinburg, turn right at caution light #2, beside the Wilwood Hotel Sign.  After crossing the Little Pigeon River, turn right onto Hemlock Street.  Take the first left onto Hill Street, at the top of the hill, turn left onto Laurel Avenue.  You should see a small wooden sign for Hidden Point Lodge on the right, turn into this drive way.  Cabin will be at the end of the drive.

Other Information:

Phone Number:

If you need a contact number for the con, email Vivienne at writer@allengames.com.  The phone number given does NOT accept text messages.  Do not call this number after the convention as it is an 11 year olds cell phone. You won’t reach Scorn through that number.

Internet:

We are supposed to have “high speed” internet at the Chalet, but no promises. I will be try to bring a wireless router, so feel free to bring your lap tops.

White Water Rafting:

You will get wet.  Bring old shoes, water shoes or sandals with the ankle(not flip flops) for this events.  Wear stuff that you know will get wet.  If you havn't paid the $30 a person by Wednesday, you aren't going.  (paypal tony@allengames.com)
