Lottery... who got what?

[William Bryan]

How can we tell if we got into a particular game? Is there somewhere on the Paizo website that will tell us that?

[Adam Daigle]

I think that'll be visible Monday when event trading goes live.

[Paizoholic]

I'll trade you a Mona for a Schneider.

[Hugo Solis]

I trade you a... wait... I got nothing!

Wait, do you have a Mona or a Schneider? Cause I need a Mona to buy a Development card.

I'm actually hoping the results will be revealed a bit BEFORE the event trading goes live! It would be good if we had a little time to actually check out and think about which events we got before making important decisions about trading them!!!

I guess that makes Mona the sheep and... nevermind, won't go there.

[Lilith]

We should find out at 2pm today who got what. :)

Just to be clear ... 2 PM West Coast time? As in, 5pm here on the East Coast?

Assuming so, the Event Trading then begins at 5PM West Coast Time ... 8PM East Coast?

All times are Paizo Standard Time (PST)

I'm assuming that Paizo runs on west coast time, seeing as that's where they're at. (To answer your question, yes, that does seem to be the time table.) :D

[Damien_DM]

Where exactly will the events you got be listed? Off the event list screen via a link, or in some other area?

I've been wondering that myself. Does it show up in E-tickets or something?

[Alizor]

It should be on the http://paizo.com/paizocon/events page page. At the end of the instructions there is a sentence that says:

Quote:

After the lottery has ended, you'll be able to view your events here, and any events that still have open seats will be made available on a first-come, first-serve basis.

The word "here" takes you to your schedule. It doesn't seem to be active right now, but it was when I was signing up for events in the lottery. I'd assume it'll be in the same place.

[mearrin69]

[rant]Little disappointed. I don't think I got even *one* of my 4-ranked events...[/rant]

edit: Okay, I guess I got into the SKR minis sessions, which is cool.

[Dreamweaver]

I did pretty good. Playing Eric's Spire of Nex, Day of Roses and Creeps. Just added a Society game and I am all filled up.

[Elora]

Pretty happy here! I got my #1 choice from the lottery (Shadow of the Fellnight Queen) and filled out my schedule with a bunch of Society scenarios, which is pretty much exactly what I wanted. Scatha the bard-barian, Lady Overduchess of Taldor, will be adventuring in the Echoes of the Everwar series plus a dash of City of Strangers.

[yoda8myhead]

I got two lottery sessions (minis and Crowd messes with Greg Vaughan's game) but dropped both since they conflict with other things I hadn't accounted for when signing up. Have at 'em!

[Russ Taylor]

Got one lottery event (Fight club), which I dropped to do more seminars. Oh well!

Hello, sir! I believe you and I are sharing a boat.

[Sebastian]

Figures. I normally have terrible luck in lotteries. I only signed up for a few events, but didn't think I'd get any of them and would have lots of time for seminars.

Now I'm in Lilith's Harrow game (hooray) and James' preview of the next AP (hooray, but for the 8 am start time).

And I'm running two slots.

Going to be a busy PaizoCon...

[Chris Mortika]

I wonder if there's any way for me to find out in advance who's signed up for the event I'm running...

[swinetrekkie]

EeeeeEEEeee...(deep breath)...EEeeEEE!!

We got our only 4 - Spire of Nex!

I'm going to continue dancing around the house and squealing with glee.

[Damien_DM]

I (and my brother) got into Fight Club 2 on Friday and Suicidal Strikeforce on Saturday--both probably ranked 1-2, so none of our 3s or 4s. Filled the remaining slots with PS events (Among the Living Friday, master of the fallen fortress Saturday a.m., and darkest vengeance on Sunday).

<swinetrekkie is my wife>

Not only did we get that, but we will be in the party for the Greg V's Plot Twist game.

Double Woot!!!!

[Hugo Solis]

YAY! I managed to get into every seminar I wantz, even thou I did not sign up for anything until now :D

Is it me or most seminars have VERY few attendees?

Since they're open events, I imagine they will fill in as people sign up and fill their schedule out. :D

[Majuba]

I didn't get "4's", but I got Ryan Costello Jr's Dreadnought game and the Katapesh game. Wasn't expecting to be that lucky, and actually had to drop the Katapesh one (sorry Kelly!) to add in the Master of the Fallen Fortress (really want to play my brand new level 1 in that). I'm running two games so I wouldn't have played almost anything PFS w/out that.

Dropped mini-construction (sorry Sean!) for the Friday Special Event open signup.

[Hugo Solis]

Majuba wrote:

Huh, which one is that?

[Eric Tillemans]

I didn't get any 4's either and was hoping for a Liz Courts game, but did get in three games I think I'm going to enjoy. I proposed a couple trades to switch my 8am game with something on Friday evening just so I can have a bit of time to prepare the game I'm running Saturday afternoon.

I didn't get terribly lucky or unlucky, and overall I'm happy.

[nathan blackmer]

I did alright, Fight Club 2, Shadow of the Fellknight Queen, and There are NO robots in RIO sector... I'd be open for trades, but I'm happy with what I have so far.

Then it'll be all up close and personal, like! :D

[Squeek]

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! *dances about!*

My husband and I got EXTEMELY lucky! Auspician and I will be attending The Lost Caravans of Katapesh, Painting some minis with Sean on Friday, Souls for Smuggler's Shiv and the Banquet on Saturday and finally (the icing on the cake FOR ME!) Angelic Armegeddon with Sean again on Sunday!

YAYAY!!!

[Panda40]

I got Unspeakable Futures—Knights of Dagon , which I really really want to play (!) , Risen Beneath the Ice , and the Preview Banquet. I would have liked one or more of my choices (also really wanted to play Liz's Big Trouble in Little China which sounds like great great fun). Suicidal Strikeforce (which I didn't get) also looks like a lot of fun. I'm very happy with what I got and at least for me, this set-up seems to be the best way to try for everyone to get something they want.

Why thank you!

[The Earl of Sandwich]

I seem to have a problem with my registration. I 'think' I got into Greg A. Vaughn's audience group for Twisting Plots, but due to a conflict with a seminar at the same time it's not on my schedule.
When I try to drop the seminar it will drop, but even though the option to add Twisting Plots is available, it won't save...

Anyone else have a similar problem?

[thelesuit]

Blergh! Somewhat disappointed. I only have one slot where I'm not volunteering to GM PFS -- apparently the system doesn't compensate for that.

CJ

[Jared Ouimette]

Didn't get into any of my 4stars :(

However, I will be in for alot of sitting around and BSing with the Devs with about 10 other people. I'm sure it'll be fun. For them-fun for them, they get to experience the trancendental joy of basking in my awesomeness.

[Adam Daigle]

I didn' get any games, but I can attend all the seminars I wanna. :)

Who got into Green Blood on a Black Rock? Sound off free-captains!

[Hugo Solis]

I'll set up camp in the Evergreen room for 85% of the Con :D

Saturday, the prequel event.

Yes. Two things I don't care with for the lottery is it doesn't reward volunteering, and it can give people multiples of their high choice while other people get goosed.

I think it'd be kind of nice next year if a small number of seats (1-2 per table) were reserved for volunteers in the lottery, until each volunteer had gotten a high pick. Probably a pain to design, though I can rough out some means in my head (most involving multiple passes through the priority list).

I'll see you there. I ended up with one of my lottery picks, but may drop it for a seminar event ... need to think that one over tonight.

There's a high probability that the people who got "goosed" on their high choices just plain didn't *make* very many high choices, while people who got multiples made a *lot* of high choices. I'm not going to go into the specifics of the process, but I strongly believe that the system is very fair—though the more even-handed you are with your rankings, the more likely you are to be rewarded.

The point you raise on volunteers is worth considering for next year, though.

[Neil Spicer]

Hah! I'm totally blessed with the luck of Desna! Not only did I make it into the "Shadow of the Fellnight Queen" game, but I scored both sessions! Woot!
.
.

Uh, hmmm...wait a minute. It says here I'm a volunteer for those events. Yikes! You mean I've got to actually run those sessions?!
.
.

Aiiiie! The pressure!

[Blazej]

Blazej got Fight Club 2. That is the end of my lottery events. Darn.

[Neil Spicer]

Actually, in all seriousness, I feel like I made out like a bandit. I've got a nicely full schedule for PaizoCon 2010. For anyone interested, here's the breakdown:
