Feedback / "Your first ConFuzzled/con"
« on: June 29, 2014, 18:21:11 »
Nearly forgot...

Any chance of a larger room next year ? It was literally standing room only, with very limited vision for those at the back.

Secondly, a larger room would mean we didn't overload the aircon - that room was getting decidedly hot and, dare I say it, a little "fragrant" towards the end...

Feedback / Nightclub last admittance policy
« on: May 29, 2014, 12:37:38 »
A quick question - why is there a nightclub rule that the last admittance is 15 minutes before closing ?

Surely, if someone goes in 30 seconds before the end of the last set, that's their problem ?

It didn't normally cause Security an issue until the last night. As the club was supposed to be closing at 02:00, security duly stopped people going in at around 01:45. However, BBF overran, and the club ended going on somewhat later until the hotel requested it was shut down. This meant that after 02:00, we had annoyed people at the door wondering why the club was still going, and why they couldn't go in.

There may be a great reason for this rule, but it often gets people annoyed (expecially those in suit who may not know the time). I just wonder if this could be reviewed / clarified / scrapped ?

Off-Topic / Why not confuzzled.org ?
« on: January 30, 2014, 12:51:30 »
Out of idle curiosity rather than any particular desire to change, why does CFz's domain use the .uk suffix, rather than just being confuzzled.org ?

Is it down to that's how it started out and no-one is bothered about changing it ? Are there technical reasons ? Is it down to needing a budget to afford the domain (as it still seems to be available) and there are better things to spend it on ?

With EF using the .org suffix, I was just idly musing why CFz hasn't gone the same way.

Discussion / Early arrival
« on: February 09, 2013, 12:01:44 »
Hi.

Wrt early arrival on the Wednesday, I was wondering what time the rooms would be available from, and whether there will be the same sort of "no furryness until after 6pm when the other guests have left" regime as last year  :)

Cheers

Discussion / Deluxe room / early arrival upgrades ?
« on: October 02, 2012, 08:04:26 »
Morning :)

Both myself and my other half  registered and paid in full within two days of registration opening.

As per instructions on the website, I then emailed registration to ask about how to upgrade to a deluxe room - ticket 2012090710000126. This was on 7th September. As yet, I've had no official reply, so I don't know if upgrades are being taken, queued, full up, not available or whether I've just been overlooked.

Artax sent the same sort of query a week or so later - I don't have the ticket number, but I know he had an automated response. He's not received any official reply either.

I sent another query on 26th September - ticket reference 201209261000028 asking about the possibility of purchasing early arrival. As yet, no response on that either.

I mentioned not receiving any *official* response to the earlier tickets - I was in contact directly with one of the staff a few weeks ago asking about this, and they mentioned that they were, quite correctly, concerned with getting people registered first and that other non-urgent tickets were being put on temporary hold. I can fully appreciate this and the fact that the staff do have lives to lead outside of CF, but you can hopefully also appreciate my position - we're now almost 4 weeks on from the date of my first ticket, registration numbers have slowed down to a steady trickle, I'm metaphorically waving money at the convention, but I've received no response to any of the three tickets I've raised.

If upgrades aren't available yet, could this be made clear, along with an approximate date when they *will* be ?

Yours in confusion.

P.S. Please don't say "email registration [at]..." ! I already have enough ticket numbers thanks ! ;D

Discussion / Website - CoC etc.
« on: August 30, 2012, 15:02:04 »
I notice that the new 2013 website doesn't seem to have any obvious links to the terms of sale, Privacy Policy or Code of Conduct pages (http://2013.confuzzled.org.uk/attending/conditions-of-sale/ , http://2013.confuzzled.org.uk/about-confuzzled/privacy-policy/ and http://2013.confuzzled.org.uk/attending/code-of-conduct/).

The only way I could get to them was via http://2013.confuzzled.org.uk/venue/bedrooms/#suites, and even that page isn't directly accessible

Of course, I could be missing something blindingly obvious (e.g. they'll all be there when registration opens - or I'm just blind and they're lurking in plain sight already), but thought I'd mention it just in case :)

Some of you already know me - yes, it's the same me. ::)

For those of you that don't - see you at CF2012  ;D
