If some spots to special events are reserved for general badge holders, that gives me a little bit of hope. I e-mailed their customer service and they got back to me earlier today:The two most important things they state in their e-mail that address my concerns are to avoid overlapping events and that events requiring payment will be held for 24 hours, giving you time to make payment. I'm still a bit unsure about the best approach regarding two events for the same slot. Say there are two special events that take place at the same time and that I would be interested in both. It seems that I could put both on the wishlist in priority of interest. If I get into the one with the higher priority, it will just ignore any subsequent events in the same time slot. From the wording on the webpage, I was concerned that if I put two events scheduled at the same time in the wishlist that neither would be added to my cart. Based on the e-mail, however, it seems that putting two events scheduled at the same time in order of priority would still be a good strategy. So it makes sense to me and seems as good a system as any. I just feel I shot myself in the foot by not paying the higher price for the VIP badge. I worry all of the special events that I'm interested in will be taken by VIP badge holders. But if you are right that some spots are held for general badge holders, that would give me some hope. What interests me most about Conventions are the special events and lesser known games that I don't normally have an opportunity to play. Gamehole Con has a great variety of games, but some of the lesser known games light Dialect and Signs only have one game each the entire Con, and these are games that are best played in person. For more popular game systems that have tons of games being run for them, I can find games on Start Playing and Roll20s find-a-game page. Really no reason to go through the expense and use my leave days just to play those games.</blockquote>
