[QUOTE="Tinner, post: 4042568, member: 19667"] Got this in my email inbox today (2/9/2008) which pretty much sums up my opinion of the RPGA. Note the date of the event in question. [COLOR=YellowGreen]The DCI has not received results for the following event, although some time has passed since the scheduled date of the event: Event name: Follow the Key Sanctioning #: FOLX05OH Coordinator: Steven Tinner, DCI# XXXXXXXXXX Brand: RPGA Dungeons & Dragons Game: RPGA Location: Eastlake, United States [B]Date: 2005-10-15[/B] Please use the latest version of DCI Reporter to upload the event results. If this event simply needs to be cancelled, please contact your DCI Representative. Please do not respond to this email as it is being sent from an automated process, and the email address is not monitored.[/COLOR] I don't even play with this group any more. This "important" notice didn't even get sent to me until two YEARS after the fact. As an "ORGANIZED" play organization, the RPGA has been less than useful to me. Reporting events is needlessly complicated. Arranging new events is overly complex. And now I'm forced to conclude that no one is even looking at the records. I really want the RPGA to be a success. I want to be part of a large group that actually makes a difference in the hobby. This just disappoints me. :( [/QUOTE]
