Having attended for over 10 years I have noticed a marked decline in the quality of convention support in recent years. I hope that Peter Adkinson sees this from the attendies perspective and not just as another revenue stream. While I find it unfortunate that Gen Con will be run by WotC still this year, I understand the neccesity in order for it to still happen.  I too am part of a judgeing group running 100+ hours of events (Rogue Judges) and have watched as we have been mistreated and ignored. Last year I was unable to get into many events because judge registrations were not processed until well after most events were filled. Don't get me wrong I am not attacking everyone, many on the staff were overworked and were still considerate and tried thier personal best to help as best as possible. The problem seamed to stem from higher level management problems.Hopefully Indy will be better. And yes as you can see to the left I am from Indy and as some may be aware I fully support the move to Indy for many more reasons than I want to get into right now. My understanding is that Indy has a 3 year contract with only the 1st year guaranteed. Moving back to Millwaukee will be hard though since one of the main reasons it left was that it had outgrown the convention center and housing ability of Milwaukee.</blockquote>
