I have no idea about the first question. For the second, ask the Death Guild folks. assuming I am recalling things correctly

yeah wussy central.

So as a longterm eplayan mod, could you advise a young idiot on how to complain about policy in a constructive matter with out engaging the wrath of those that flip the switches?

Start a topic in Philosophy and Politics Forum. No personal attacks (name calling) and no personal information, no threats or encouragement of illegal activity. Basically, you can bad mouth the ORG in general, but not individuals. No threads about other eplayans by name/username. Go for it. If you have a beef about moderation, check down in Eplaya Feedback to see if there is an existing thread you can use to express yourself, or begin a new one. Policy should do for a forum. Complaints about a specific policy or behavior will fly if you don't devolve into drivel.

If you have something to say directly to a mod, do so in a PM. Right now Trilobyte is taking the lead, so if it is not about him, a CC would be a good idea.

In defense of the moderation team, we are in transition. Not only are the trainees learning the nuts and bolts of a new board, but the ropes of moderating, plus it is a busy time. Throw the sold out ticket freak out, and things are unusually crazy. They are learning the light touch, and mistakes have been made.

I'm not actively moderating, except for spam and basic tasks. Spending a lot of time in the back room. We don't have a SOP document just now, but we will, after the Burn.

I've got a Leatherman Wave and it's well built and high-quality, but I envy the pliers spring the Victorinox tools have. I looked like I had a batman belt last year with all the gizmos and stuff on my belt.

Victorinox.
There is a selection.

There is probably some odd european tool even wilder though.

It's a bug. Spanky knows about it, it's on his "to do" list after he returns from the playa.

OK Here is another stupid question (or not)! We have 4 tickets at will call under one person's name. This person is getting there Wednesday and needs 2 tickets Wednesday. I can't come til Thursday for the other 2 tickets. What is the best way to arrange this? My idea is that when he gets there wednesday to get the 2 tickets, to change tthe name to mine so I can pick the other 2 up Thursday. Or is this too confusing? Please help!

Barb,

Yes, the first person arriving changes the remaining tickets into your full legal name, once he picks up his. You need ID with the name he changes the tickets into, and the confirmation number of the Will Call tickets just in case.
If you need to give your tickets to multiple people, we suggest you have the name changed to the person who is arriving first and it will be that person's responsibility to place the other ticket(s) under the other names. This can get messy so you need to be sure you can trust the person who is picking up the tickets first. VERY IMPORTANT: When leaving tickets for people at the box office, names cannot be nicknames or incomplete names, they must be in our computer system under first and last name, as seen on the person's legal photo ID.
