Oh wow look at all that information that supposedly isn't available on the first post. So far the only really unclear thing seems to be the location. And as stated in there it would be nice to be outside but it could be inside due to the rain. I think the only thing I really need to change is that. I really don't want to tell people a location until a know what the weather is going to be like. It seems with a lot of people on this forum I really have to hold their hand and walk them through every step. If I just tell them all at once. Make sure the place is posted on every page AND the first then everything should be fine.
But again, for the other events I had to ask a mod to edit the first post because about a month into it (and I like to plan events several months in advance) I would no longer be able to edit my first post. As you can see that has been changed.
I could have done with out those lines... moreover you have been updating your first posts now, they look a lot better. Good job.
I know you post a lot on here... we all know that... your post count is ri-donk-u-lous, so it goes that every new member here is going to have some discourse with you rather quickly. You might even be one of the first people they talk to... perhaps taking the time to choose your words a little more carfully is in order. I for one, do not like to be talked down to. I may be new here, but I organize a lot of events, both online and in real life as part of my job, so I know a touch about this subject, and flow of information is key.
Having all of the event information in one little neat spot is the absolute best thing you can do to ensure an events success.
I am truely glad that you are starting to do this with your events, I'm sure they will things will go a lot smoother, and I doubt you'll get people complaing to you about disorganization.
Also not sure if I said this here or somewhere else. But planing an event at a mall is hard to do. I just found out that you need to clear it with security. Also, to make it even worse there is a lot going on at a mall and it is hard to yell and keep everyone's attention.
But I have taken some suggestions into consideration. From now on I will try to keep the first post updated. I will also try to plan things in places that it is easier to control a large crowd. It is much easier to get peoples attention outside than inside a loud mall x.x
I am happy to take any more suggestions as well.
I've organized a few mall events in my day and working with security is a hassle to say the least. It's usually a good idea to okay things with the venue first. Think of it this way, imagine that this is someones first event, and they get kicked out of the mall, or worse yet arrested... how is that going to make you, the event organizer, feel and how is it going to reflect on K-Con.
I don't think hide and seek at the mall is a bad idea, I just think you'll have a tough time selling it to the mall. Also, if you don't get thier permission I see you guys having the potential to get in trouble.
