[QUOTE="Barendd Nobeard, post: 298172, member: 960"] OK, GenCon is run by idiots. Let's hope Peter Adkison can make it better next year. I was a good boy. I got my badge right away. I also ordered my tickets the first day I could. Then, I leave my house at 6:30 a.m. this morning to get here by 6:40 and get in line to pick up my tickets. So, why am I posting to EN World at 9:14 am CDT, when my first gaming slot started at 8:00 a.m. today? Because GenCon is run by idiots. I got to stand in line for 90 minutes. (After I had stood in another line for 10 minutes). All this was after the doors opened late at 7:04 a.m. It was about 8:40 when I finally got my tickets. So, why a 90 minute wait in line? One ticket was missing. I was actually "being helped" by 7:52 a.m. I could have made my game. But no, I had to wait 40 minutes to get a ticket--for a game that's not even today--for one ticket to print out. So, I'm mad at the GenCon idiots. I've already missed one slot, and who knows what else they will screw up this weekend. :mad: There. I'm done venting. Have a great GenCon! [/QUOTE]
