OPC Log—3 Desnus 4717

Yay, new five stars!
(Shout out to Naren, welcome aboard, my friend!)

I'm confused. Should volunteers have received their schedules? Or are they still in the process of being sent out? Or will they be sent out before the end of the month? I'd received initial confirmation in February that I was approved, but haven't heard anything since then. Thanks.

Congrats to the new 5 Stars!! :)

Congrats to all of the new 5 Star GMs!

I broke that last paragraph into bullet points, since there's 3 different con being discussed.

• Volunteers for PaizoCon should have received their schedules.
  
• We touched base with Organizer Mike McNerney regarding Origins schedules and he advises they are being sent asap and will arrive before event registration opens.
  
• Volunteer lead Bob Jonquet is working on the volunteer schedules for Gen Con. Look for them to arrive before the Gen Con event system goes live at the end of the month.
  
• We are adding volunteers to the Gen Con roster this week, so if you're waiting for information, please watch your inbox.
  
• No matter what the status, all Gen Con volunteers will receive some communication by weeks end.

The survey seems to be borked in the region categories. Two of the categories are currently as follows:

Africa - East Eurasia - Belarus, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Latvia, Netherlands, Russia, Scandinavia, and South Africa.

West Eurasia-Middle East - Belgium, Croatia, Finland, France, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Portugal, Slovenia, Spain, Turkey, Ukraine, the United Arab Emirates, and the United Kingdom.

Why is Finland in both categories?

Having just done the survey and downloaded the boon, I can't help but notice Tonya's PFS number is 007; I assume this means she has a license to TPK.

I'm noticing Prairie Con isn't up there, but we're doing PFS as well. Just wondering if the request hadn't made it through yet or not. I know the VL made arrangements.

Yes she has a license to kill, luckily she didn't get to use it this weekend.

Thanks Tonya!

Grats new five stars!

Just a heads up when taking the survey: edit: never mind. Nothing to see here. Problem fixed

Grats to all the new 5 stars and thank you guys for the chance to give feedback and an awesome boon as thanks for doing so!

One question however, the second page at the top asks us to fill in our PFS#'s on the last question, presumably it goes in 'other' on question 11 but... it's a bit confusing knowing that as there's no indication that is the last question until you get past it, any chance you could let us know if that's the right place? :)

The survey has a problem. There's no shadow lodge. Or Lantern Lodge or Sczarni or...

I mean sure, they're not legal now, but when the character retired...

Or do you only want current characters?

Yay, new five stars!

(Shout out to Naren, welcome aboard, my friend!)

Thanks!

I’m grateful for the support of my wife and son and for the amazing friends I’ve made along the way!

Congratulation to all the new 5 Star GMs.

Nice survey, of course just choosing 7 chars is really hard ^^

Thanks a lot for the survey, Tonya!

I'm confused, are we supposed to be entering PFS + character numbers in the "Other" field like Big Norse Wolf suggests, or is the survey reminder just a little off? I've entered two characters but I'm going to hold off on the other 5 for the moment.

Edit: Nevermind, thanks Dan!

Just a heads up when taking the survey:

The survey says Now just a little more info.

Please remember that in order to collect the Boon you'll need to include your Pathfinder Society Roleplaying Guild Number in the final question.

Two things:

Question 11 is, without warning, the final question. You have to pick 2 of your favorite answers and then for "other" put in your pfs number

If you don't do that, you can still download the boon.

Whoops! That's my fault! The PFS number was from an old build of the survey. Our thinking was that we would collect the number and send the boon directly. We found a better way without needing your number with the direct download at the end of the survey.

I totally forgot about that blurb. I have removed it from the survey. You don't need to enter your number. Promise!

Sorry for the confusion.

That is a pretty awesome boon. Thanks Tonya!

Ehhhhh. Oh yeah. It is listed twice! Sorry about that. I'll fix it. :)

Hah! I did 6 surveys. Saw the post to insert the PFS number went back and did them again with the PFS number. Come back and see that is not a thing!

Okay, good. I was panicking. Now, with that said, are we just on the honour system that we did six characters? Because I have over 40 and did my six, but I have no record of proving that I did.

We're trusting everyone to stick to six characters. We're not going to bust you if you messed up and did seven. :D

Much like the rest of PFS, yes.

The way the boon is written, I thought you're supposed to do 7?

For each additional character you chronicle in the survey (maximum six), check one of the boxes that precede the boon below.

I read that as boon for the first, then 6 more to check all 6 boxes?

Because I'm sure it will come up, are these boons trade-able? I assume they're not supposed to be, but the wording just says "only earn" not "only apply".

Thanks again for the boons like this! With this I can give a new GM at our single table location a scenario I know they will enjoy from personal experience and I won't have to sit out the game they run.

As written the boon wants to do 7

I went and did it a seventh time.

Congrats to all.
Special shout out to Naren P. Wtg.
Well deserved. Great to play in your games and also play alongside you.

Why is Finland in both categories?

You are basically too awesome to be fit in just one.

I LOVE this boon.

It might have been interesting to include a distinction between core and regular characters.

Perhaps, but as you quoted...

The guy who wrote the survey says we're only supposed to submit six characters, so I'm pretty sure we know how it's supposed to be. Sure, if he has time they should probably update the wording, but it's not the end of the world if they don't.

Congrats to the new 5 Stars. Awesome job everyone. :)

One of my locals pointed out that the convention list is missing one small con (Origins).

So, OK.

Suppose, hypothetically, that one takes the survey, and does it for six characters.

After one does the last character, one hits the "take me back to the beginning" button, or whatever it was, instead of the "Done" button.

The back button doesn't take me back; page has expired. So I can't get to the Done button.

Two questions:

(1) I'm guessing this is where I was going to get the boon. Does my failure to click the right button on just one page mean that I don't get the boon?

(2) If I never clicked "Done", was my data saved?

Run through the survey again and choose the done option. I just got there again myself.

Regarding that thing about 6 characters or 7 characters.....
I would say, stick to what the boon says. The boon knows all. The boon is life.
Definitely don't listen to me. I'm the new guy (I can STILL use that as an excuse). John worked hard on that boon. I'm guessing that the wording there is correct.
Also, as a quick answer to a previous question; these aren't trade-able.

BUT! I wanted to say....THANKS Y'ALL! For getting on this. We've had a huge turnout for this survey so far and that's because of this community.

If I see you a PaizoCon, I'll give you a high-five.

Don't worry, things like this happen all the time ^^. The PFS community is just very quick to respond to these offerings.. even I shared with my players via Facebook already.

Frankly, it is good that there is a limit, otherwise I might have entered all my characters wich would have taken significantly longer.
If you ever do this again, it would be nice to add a PFS number to every entry, currently if you look at my region it might look like a lot of characters are hunters and in the Dark Archive... (I currently have 5 hunters... ^^)

Double-sneaky as a holiday boon too.
Apropos given the boon, well played.

Congrats to the new 5 stars!

The boon is awesome! Thank you, Tonya! Records chronicled for Kazmarok Starforger, Baronet Alistair Quinnell of the Lion Blades, Rahmiel, Thoradin, Merisel Siverclaw, and Quinray the Pallymagus.

I might be able to do all of quest for perfection on one character now! Thanks guys!

I'm just wanting to clarify as people are getting confused in my area. Each player can only get one boon, right? Not one per survey taken?

The boon itself says no more than one per player.

However many times you complete the survey, you can only earn a single copy of this chronicle sheet.

Great thanks. I was on my phone and didn't complete the survey yet so haven't seen the actual boon.

I enjoyed the survey and I hope that it is the first of several. I think some players and GMs might have ideas to share with leadership on how to improve Pathfinder Society. I think that we have a lot to learn from each other.

I love this boon for many reasons.
