Be nice if the GM's could register some time soon. Still can't get into the system. 2 messages, 1 week, no reply. Let's me know I'm wanted as a GM. |

Oddball, I'm surprised to hear that there are still GMs who can't pre-register. Over two weeks since pre-registration opened and, according to you, not all the GM badges are in the system yet. As I said before, perhaps if the GMs start to cancel games that will get their attention. There should also be an HMGS membership meeting on Friday night, if they follow past history. If you have issues with the way you have been treated, you should plan to stop by and make your views known to the BOD. Lastly, you can do what Moe did--just go ahead and pay. But if I did that, I doubt I would run any games. Good luck and let us know how it goes. |

I've let HMGS know about how I feel the GMs are treated. I've always thought that the GMs should get first crack at pre-reg as they are the ones who are hauling stuff to the cons, putting hours into the games and giving of their free time. Getting cut $20 USD on admission for 8 to 10 hours (planning game, prep for game, running game and set up/break down of game) of work isn't such a great deal. I've sent 2 email to HMGS already over the last week. No reply. |

I can't even renew my membership. The whole site just runs in circles. Or is it me? I know I'm "techno challenged" but always got it to work before……….. |
| Scorpio | 06 Feb 2015 12:43 p.m. PST |
The new website is definitely problematic. There's not even an easy way to find out what you're already signed up for. |

And still no pictures of the t-shirt or what the print being raffled off will look like. |

Theme: "The End of the American Civil War: The Beginning of the End!"
Whaaaat? What on earth does that mean? So then will Hcon be the end of the end, or just the middle of the end? I'm confused. :-)
Sometimes they can overthink these themes. And yes, no pictures of the tshirt. I wonder how that affects sales? |
| capncarp | 09 Feb 2015 10:07 p.m. PST |
I just pre-registered for the con, and reserved my spots in games for Friday and Saturday. |
| historygamer | 10 Feb 2015 8:13 a.m. PST |
Apparently Cold Wars has two themes. Listed on the HMGS Con webpage: "Theme: American Civil War 1865 – 150 Years" Listed on the convention's webpage: "The End of the American Civil War: The Beginning of the End!"
So, which is it? Or, is it both? Personally, I like the one that has the word "end" in it twice. I'm holding out for:
"The American Civil War – the end of the End!" I like the exclamation point too, as evidently it needs to be shouted when read aloud. Or should it be in a all caps? :-) |

That way everybody should know what it says. |
| historygamer | 10 Feb 2015 8:39 a.m. PST |
Sounds like a plan. Whatever the theme is, I'll be there along with some friends. :-) Let's hope the weather cooperates. |

BTW, midnight (EDT)Friday 02/13/15 is only 85.33 hours away! |

Sad to say, the website Hobby University Link is up but not populated with anything but an "under construction" sign.
Sigh. |

"Sad to say, the website Hobby University Link is up but not populated with anything but an "under construction" sign." Perhaps that information has also been placed with a list of vendors who are also attending. Or any of the BOD minutes since July 2012. |
snapped some photos of games he didn't get a chance to play in at Council of Five Nations.
