The only sense of it I can make is they assumed you were trolling them and not asking sincere questions. I just looked up your name on the Gary Con Group with the "find a member" search feature and you show up with status as "joined" and "Participant in Gary Con" and "Gene Weigel hasn't posted anything yet in Gary Con." There are eight admins and moderators so one of them must have deleted your post and blocked you because I cannot find the comment that you posted.

That was my 2nd or 3rd post so they must have deleted that some how. I went on Discord and I don't even see it.

The Dungeon Hobby Shop is where I plan to go first on Wednesday. I have nothing to say about the politics, controversy, masking vs. no-masking, etc. I'm so tired of it. I just want to see if I can meet Ernie and look around to see what old-timer stuff they have on display.
"Hey Ernie! Would you sign my Dungeon Geomorphs in exchange for some 'cheeto rations'?"

They were getting slammed by imposters and I was not in their system for GaryCon attendees so he thought I was fake.

I have the silver badge. I'm on saturday 1-9pm at TSR Con with "DM Erac's Cousin/Serten/Tenser" so its all open before and after that. I guess I can run something on Thursday or Friday but I'm keeping my slate clean to the last minute. I don't want to miss anything just to run a game.

Wow, you're playing in a game with Ernie as the DM! I'm happy you for you that you got into that. I'll have to check that out.
How did you register for Ernie's game, exactly? I see a ticket option for an 8 hour game, but not a particular game or DM I can pick.

Thanks for the link, Gene. A hundred bucks to play in an 8 hour game with up to nine other people DMed by Ernie Gygax? That's worth every penny, in my opinion. Just think of the interview potential alone ("Tell me about Tenser! What was your dad like as a DM? Tell me what the original Greyhawk Campaign was like! Hey, stop throwing Cheetos at me for asking too many questions..."). In past Gary Cons Ernie would DM for events that were free for 12 people but they always filled up immediately and before silver badge registration. So, with fewer players this a great opportunity to get to play and talk with Ernie!

I've done a lot of talking with him in person already so I've got that out of the way I just want to get another take on the classic play and see him in action. Plus I want to let him know that he is one of my major influencers along with Rob and his dad. I don't think he is alloweg to drink but I know how to keep in cool... 4 hours after arriving in Lake Geneva... Drunken Gene lying sideways in the middle of Main Street traffic spinning in circles. DEEEEE AND DEEEE!!! WHEEEEE!!!! AW, MAN, SPEAKING OF THAT...OOPS!!! Just kidding!!!

Oh I was referring to the glitches with event registration last year or the year before... It started but no one could get tickets to anything and it was very frustrating. I think it had something to do with massive amounts of people all registering at once.
Gene, is there a particular day you'd like to run BROKEN CASTLE or another D&D game? I'd like to reserve some time to game with you.
Allan, I did not see any Greyhawk AD&D game under your name... Are you not running one this year?

Its going to be total chaos and let everything go to the very last minute at this point. I still can't get any idea on where to play a random game. Always get the same response that there is plenty of places. I'm thinking Friday but where is the question.
