Hey guys, Glad to see the Compass is back, and I'm glad it is otherwise I would've never heard about the discussion about GM's not paying. Is this due to the...
I have GM's at the last few COtN's, just a couple of games. If all you have to do to get in free is GM, then I will GM a two player checkers match and get in ...
The GMs at issue were not, in fact, the Novus GMs. Con of the North's requirement that any person who facilitates running an event must register for the...
Well, since the policy has already been set up and voted on, there is no reason to continue this. Although in my opinion I believe that everyone who attends...
I feel that the new policy is fair, since Referees get none of the advantages of Judges. They just run games. It also avoids the appearance of unfairness by...
Just my 0.02, It seems to me that it's supply and demand. If there is a shortage of seasoned GMs then they should be encouraged to pay only a token amount...
... Allow me, if I may, to turn that around for you like so: if all you are doing is GMing a game of checkers, and if you are, moreover, providing the...
I see the Disney analogy differently. Parents should be admitted free. Children's admission should be huge - its not a day care and unsupervised children...
Consistancy is very important, so the referee system is better than comping some judges/GMs. How does COtN enforce the no-participation for referees rule? If...
... I would assume the rule would be enforced in the same way the rule for spectators is enforced -- i.e., if you don't have a ticket you don't play. In the...
I'd like to apologize to everyone for not getting the word out well before the meeting. The Compass was originally supposed to go out in April and this was...
... The Judges and Referees enforce the policy that only people with Player badges can play at their events. Even if you have a ticket, you still need your...
The problem with the policy is you're assuming that those who just are referees with abide by the rules set up for them and will not try to play in any games....
To enforce this you have to make sure that the GM's look at everyones badges to make sure they have only players/judges playing in there game. Which to be...
... Two of the standard counter-arguments to paying for tickets: It would be an accounting nightmare. Either we'd have to set up some kind of proper online...
Now this is troublesome. I don't want to be a policeman. Many people take tickets and don't show. In fact I have run games where there were so many no-shows...
Solutions: 1) give registrants a number of free tickets. If they cannot get the games they want issue a Credit ticket exchangeable for a real ticket. 2) keep...
This feels like its being blown out of proportion. One of the main reasons the people who Love CoTN do so, is because its simple as well as fun. Gives it kind...
... Well, to put it simply, if you're concerned enough about this to make an issue of it on the list you darn well ought to be willing to be a policeman,...
The simple answer to this problem: Referees cannot get tickets, as badges are carefully checked at registration. Anyone with a ticket is safe bet to be a...
