Were putting this con on for you and making sure its runs the best that we can possibly make it. I am not sayin gnot have fun if you know me at all you know I love to have fun

Well... we'll try

I promise nothing

Here's to the K-Con staff and their mighty convention-leading capabilities

The only convention that I went to before was PDXlan and there is a vicious cycle that can develop:

Attendees annoy staff members -> staff members are grumpy and annoy attendees -> attendees annoy more staff members ...

Since this isn't run by a multinational corporation, mistakes will be made.

One thing that annoys me is when policies or rules are made or changed and the reasoning isn't given, or when incidents are covered up with too much secrecy. It's a fine balance. People are uncomfortable with the unknown.

Issues arise in human communication, event organization, privacy law, and business management. These are all legitimate reasons for making a change to rules that might negatively affect people's convention plans and then say it was due to "negotiation". We mortals ought not question it.

Thank you staff! Do a good job...no body slamming. I know people can get worked up. >.>;;

*refuses to thank the hotel since they think we are terrorists in disguise*

man, I feel so bad for all the yojimbo! Much love for you all!!! Having to deal with last-minute changes like the weapons bit and everyone getting all bent outta shape on you guys. I understand how they feel too because I'm going through the same problem, but you have to roll with the punches and deal with it.... though I only wish the hotel had more courtesy to inform you guys earlier. Bad timing on their part.
T__T;;
thanks guys!

"Since this isn't run by a multinational corporation, mistakes will be made. "

Wait, corporate cons don't make mistakes? :lol:

Yeah! We should all be nice to everyone at the convention, but especially the staffers. They have enough problems with ***radio edit*** and they don't need more from us. A lot of people thought I was anti-staff awhile ago but that was just rhetoric. I don't let my Club members be staff or staff members in the club because I don't want to distract any of the valuable staffers or yojimbo while the con is going on, they have much more important work to be doing than having me yell at them about some fangirl needing a bishi at 4 o'clock.

One specific thing, if a staff member says something that conflicts with the booklet or schedule. Always believe the staffer.

valliegirl · « **Reply #8 on:** August 30, 2006, 12:02:05 pm »

As staff, I want to show love to our directors, because DAMN do they have it rough.

WE LOVE YOU DIRECTORS!!!

Domo arigatou!

I have to say this is...like the highlight of the year for me... better than Christmas! I really have fun and it wouldn't be here if not for you guys! ^_^ SANKYUU! <3<3<3<3

I concur. Alot of staff-ey like people are going to get so much negative things from alot of people at the con. It also seems like the people that have a problem or that do not like what is going on have the loudest opinions/voices. There are alot of people that do appreciate what is going on, even if things aren't as smooth as everyone hopes they will be. This is still something thats going to be fun and although this will be my first kumoricon, I still am going to have a blast. Thanks.

If it weren't for the dedicated staff we wouldn't have a convention to attend. Thank you to all the staff and volunteers for your hard work and dedication. I look forward to another great Kumoricon!

A big thank you to all the staff members out there.

You spend so much time for all of us to make this great 3-day get-away. We appreciate everything that you do and have to put up with.

Oh, c'mon, even multi's can screw thing up stratospherically once in a while, and it's usually best st STAND BACK when they do:

- Flixborough (Nypro)
- Oppau (BASF) The winner, imho
