Rishary is correct on both accounts. 2008's theme if anything was 'huh, we actually managed to make a con!'

I believe there might still be a few left. Best to head to the Den at the start of the con next year and see if the ConFuzzled Shop has any!

The registration for your hotel room at the Hilton is built in as part of your registration for the convention unless you choose to stay elsewhere, so ConFuzzled handles booking your room for you.

Although rooms are generally available for the whole registration period, specific types of rooms such as Doubles tend to sell out fairly quickly so you'll want to register quickly after registration opens to get the type you want.

Fursuit isn't required! But still, it would be great to have you come along!

Thank you kindly for the feedback!

Regarding the gaming events, we'll definitely be reviewing them and seeing what we can do to improve him.

The problem with a games room is that it is super high in resource requirements:

• Setting up two Wii U's took about half an hour and tearing down about 15 minutes. Add more consoles and this would get longer meaning we'd need to basically 'take over' a room because sharing it would be a huge effort every start and stop.
• For all the hours its open, it would need a rotation of at least two members of staff, similar to Ops which has a big team to handle it. Given the cost of the equipment involved, said staff would need to be well trusted.
• It would require some careful security requirements to prevent theft, including maybe a security guard at the door for all opening hours.
• We'd need a TV or compatible projector, screen and a sound system for every console. These are items we have but are in high demand by other events with presentations from laptops.
• Arranging consoles and loaned equipment requires careful planning and the older systems certainly aren't getting any less delicate!

If we were able to solve all these issues then maybe we could bring back the games room! But failing that, let us know specific games you'd like to play and maybe we can add more events next year.

I can bring a third console...

You can if you want but at the moment we aren't sure we have anything for it to plug in to! That's the limiting factor at the moment! ^^;

There was a typo on the page, we will be playing Smash for Wii U.

At the moment we only have the resources to run two consoles at once (which we have got) but if we are able to get a third protector and sound system I'll let you know!

There are indeed and they do have additional inputs on them. Please of course be careful when connecting your console and if you unplug anything, please reconnect it back before you check out.

And of course, you're welcome to take part in the gaming competition events we'll be running!

I'm afraid all the rooms are already in use for evening events and its now too late to make such changes to the schedule.

Thanks for the offer Morbius, however due to lack of staff and timeslots in the schedule this year, we won't be running any kind of open video games room this year.

There will be some tournament events for Mario Kart 8 and Smash Brothers which we'll be announcing sign-ups for soon.

Dealers Den & Art Auction / Re: looking for someone to help with transport

« on: January 30, 2015, 15:16:14 »

If you have trouble finding any help, the hotel can take delivery of stock and have it sent on to the Den.

Do make sure to e-mail dealer's den staff though to walk you through it as you have to make sure you do it right or the items could get bounced back!
