Statement of intent

[mrph]

I'm planning to be at C12. Wherever it may be.

If it turns into a complete C7-style mess I reserve the right to change my mind - but barring that, I'll be there.

Ho hum. NOLA it is. Having followed the discussion on agc_afterglow, that's not the one I would have voted for myself (my email address has changed since I last attended, so wasn't voting this time) but I guess we'll see how it goes.

I'm a little concerned that, with both New Orleans and Las Vegas, the draw of a 'cool' city seems to obscure every other aspect of the bid for too many people. Still, that's democracy for ya...

the_siobhan knows you so e-mail her & she'll get your entry in the database updated.

New York proved that in spades - the only reason there wasn't a clusterfuck event there prior to & is that there were 2 people submitting bids & splitting the vote every year.

People are stupid - what are you going to do?

Me, I've decided I'm putting in a bid for C13 - my birthday party at my house on the July 2nd weekend - I get a larger contingent of old school net.goths than C11 did & I guarantee that the event is all about the people.

Shall get organised and mail the_siobhan, then. Although hopefully I'll be at this one and it'll get noted then, anyway (comments on the community haven't been terribly reassuring about this, though)

The legal options are limited.

Hmm. Before I cast my vote, I want to know just how much beer we can fit in your fridge... :)

A key component to the proposal.
Thank you for pointing that out early enough that I can be sure to address it.

We're hoping to have something in place on the website so that people can do it themselves after this year. *knocks wood**crossses fingers**makes the sign against the evil eye*

That's supposed to be the purpose of the pre-vote ping - to let people know that there was a problem so they can do something about it. :-p

Most people do get registered, but there are always going to be problems with a few names here and there.
