Re: Indiana Time

An odd little aside and lesson for those not from Indiana (and in some respects Arizona).

For those not aware what Time Zone Indiana is in that is not surprising. When the rest of the country last weekend changed thier clocks we did not. Thus for all intensive purposes we are now in the Central Time Zone compared to the rest of the country and will remain so until Fall.

Indiana is officially on Eastern Standard Time all year long. (That is why microsoft gives us our own time zone setting Indiana East). This means that when the country changes to Daylight Savings Time we do not which efectively makes us Central Daylight Savings Time. What this means is we are in the Eastern Time Zone durring the Winter and the Central Time Zone durring the summer.

This is just a update for those planning on traveling here who already made plans in the winter thinking that we are on Eastern Time. No fear if you are flying though since the airlines are well aware of this and any tickets will always show the correct arrival time.

Just a quick grammar lesson, in case you care - it's "all intents and purposes".
Thought you might like to know.

edit: if I'm going to give a grammar lesson, I should at least spell it correctly.

Gencon newbie question here. Is it safe to assume that the events that are currently in the catalog are the only ones that will be available for registration? Should I pick all of the things that I want to do out of the current schedule or should I leave slots open for more events that will be added later?

There will be a ton of events added later, because almost none of the RPGA "Living" Campaign events are in there. I have found three Living Spycraft games in there, but no Living Greyhawk, Living City (or is that campaign dead?), Living Force (Star Wars - very popular last year), Living Death (1890s Ravenloft), Living Dragonstar, etc.

And since those aren't in there, I wonder what else isn't in there yet....

Missing events

Yeah, where's Living Boy Meets World and Living JAG?

Well, we registered this morning. Hubby is 100% set, I still have some searching to do. Torn between filling up on the cool stuf that is there and leaving some big chunks of time open for the cool stuff I know will be on the on-site book.

Those two are awesome, but I'm more of a Living MacGyver man, myself.

OK, I must be missing something here, because after I navigate through to the registration page, all I get is what looks like the upper-right hand fifth of the web page in a little window, and no way to scroll down to click on any events. Last night, when I tried logging in at home, I hit the download events link, and all it did was sit there for 15 minutes, doing nothing.

Am I the only one who's having troubles? Is it too much to ask for them to stop playing with their website, and make it work properly? Or am I just being dense?

The trick is to navigate through Indianapolis > Registration, rather than clicking on the "Event Reg is live !!!" link, then you don't get stuck in that little box.

Somone was asking about Generic Tix. The ID code is GEN00002, punch that into the search box and you should get the option of purchasing generic tix.

I'll put this in the first post to try and get the word out to more people. Thanks!
