Reporting for CanGames

event# 494: BlackPFSatCangames (2 sessions of SCE_6 Black Waters)

The reporting went pretty well, save for character 6289-1 appearing as "doctor weenz" instead of Kasann Al-Hazara.

Are you sure you had the correct PFS # one of my players switched 2 digits and then bugged me for weeks to fix it.

Just hope "6289" will see this post and manifest himself....

Could we "poke" 6289 ?

I reported my event, but I dont see that the players got their prestige awards, although I noted them in the report that i submitted

(event#495)

I was wondering if the scenarios for PaizoCon have been reported. I have not seen them on my list of sessions. Just wondering.

I played some PFS mod's at ConFusion last October in Victoria, BC. I'm not sure if they ever got posted -- it was the pre-web reporting days. How is something like that dealt with?

Joshua J. Frost (Events Manager), Tue, Jun 30, 2009, 11:30 AM

PaizoCon has not been reported yet. Give it a couple of weeks and it will be.

So long as you have the proper paperwork, the paperwork will always trump the online record. If you have any way to contact your GM or coordinator from that show, that's a good place to get started to get that con organizer to report your events.

Josh, with rethinking the competition between the factions for points is there any function to the reporting system save for a way to track who is playing how much? I'm still going to report my tables either way, because that's the responsible thing to do. But if I get someone's faction point wrong when I report a table, does it really matter in the big picture? I tell people that the session reporting is not a tool for character audits (which are unneccessary since everyone is on the honor system).

Joshua J. Frost (Events Manager), Tue, Jun 30, 2009, 05:30 PM

Reporting is a cascading effect. We need to know who's playing so that we know how many people we're hitting each month with our product so that we can track growth so that we can spend more money on the Society. The more people that play, the bigger budget we give to the Society (and potential things like player and GM rewards). We're talking about possibly simplifying the things you need to input on paizo.com, but we still need people to report their sessions.

Your question was a really good one, though, and sent me down a line of thinking that may radically (and awesomely!) change the way we calculate prestige and WHY we calculate it.

The two GM's I had at PaizoCon have not reported the events. How can I best go about asking them to report?

Anyone who GMs at a convention (including PaizoCon) generally has a record sheet they turn over to the event organizer or coordinator at the end of their session. In this case, Josh has them and has said that he'll get around to reporting them in the next few weeks.

Ahh, thanks! Guess I need to be spending more of my time perusing Paizo messageboards and then I could have saved a post ;)

I reported the two mods I recently ran, which were also my first. And I promise I will continue to do so. I just hope I did it right is all.

Turin the Mad (Pathfinder Adventure Path Charter Subscriber; Pathfinder Modules Subscriber), Tue, Jul 21, 2009, 08:58 PM

So, did the PaizoCon and any other 'con since Paizocon events get recorded?

And my GM for #3 (for my one PFS Character) still has not recorded the event, let alone the messy demise of said character. *tsk tsk* :)

The Gathering has the Origins tables reported. Any sessions that were not handed into HQ may still be outstanding.

Joshua J. Frost (Events Manager), Wed, Jul 22, 2009, 10:38 AM

PaizoCon has not gone in yet. I'm swamped with Gen Con prep and my minion who sometimes enters con info for me is also swamped. We'll get to it ... eventually. :-/

The results for PFS @ Gen Con are currently in route back to the office. Once they arrive, they'll be inputted.

Josh, are the Paizocon scenarios still on the todo list? They had still not been input as of your July 22nd message.

Yup. In fact, they sit next to my keyboard and once I've finally caught up on the boards and email, I'll be inputting them myself. Gen Con will get inputted once I have the results back in the office (and will take a considerably longer amount of time to input).

Turin the Mad (Pathfinder Adventure Path Charter Subscriber; Pathfinder Modules Subscriber), Tue, Sep 8, 2009, 01:13 PM

So how's this little task looking now?

You sir are in dire need of a familiar to take care of menial tasks like entering senario sheets. Might i suggest James Sutter? He plays a good imp.

Joshua J. Frost (Events Manager), Wed, Sep 9, 2009, 10:45 AM

Gary and Ross and I need to resolve the reporting issue first, then I'll be able to input the new events. I really don't want to just input a bunch of new problems. Soon.

Sorry to hear about the reporting issue (whatever it is) - may it be properly sledgehammered into functioning order soon!

Need some help? Some of us are programmers ;) If you get stuck, you have free technical support if you need it.

I may charge you the cost of "coming to Atlanta and run a senario" as payment if it takes more than a day to fix.

Jason S, Wed, Sep 30, 2009, 01:54 PM

I was just going to ask about Gencon reporting which has already been covered.

Russell Akred (Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Subscriber), Thu, Oct 1, 2009, 05:32 AM

Being a former LG judge I have been reporting all the scenarios run. Sometimes I have walk in players without a number but I report everyone who who has a number. I was wondering what to do about a player that has forgotten his PFS# and I assume cannot sign on to get it.

Elf_NFB (Pathfinder Adventure Path Charter Subscriber; Pathfinder Roleplaying Game, Pathfinder Chronicles, Pathfinder Companion Subscriber), Thu, Oct 1, 2009, 10:13 AM

My big problem is the same repeated here by others.. no numbers. I think this will be the BIGGEST problem at the beginning of our on and off home games. Once I get everyone signed on.... by gods.

Turin the Mad (Pathfinder Adventure Path Charter Subscriber; Pathfinder Modules Subscriber), Fri, Oct 2, 2009, 05:31 AM

Soooo ... what's the news on PaizoCon 09's reports and boons?

James Risner (Pathfinder Roleplaying Game, Pathfinder Adventure Path, Pathfinder Chronicles, Pathfinder Companion Subscriber), Fri, Oct 2, 2009, 10:33 PM

How do I tell if the coordinators input my games that I ran at a Con?

They are not showing up on my events (but since I had already played all the modules I ran I didn't sign my "dm character" up as a player.)

If I don't see it does that mean it hasn't been entered yet?

Correct. You'll need to check with your coordinator for that event.

As for PaizoCon and Gen Con--this week.
