well we have enough operators this year to probably do it with more ease than last year.

and i will likely try and wrangle things together with them with more than a few weeks foresight. (ideally a few months, but admittedly, this isn't something i'm particularly concerned with starting to set up until January.)

Me and jade haven't even figured everything out yet. That's basically a word for word repost from last year's. Unless I wasn't told something.

I wasn't planning on doing anything official until after preregister even opened up. And we were talking about abandoning the 2011 format in favor of the 2010 model. But again this is all speculation.

I do however intend to give far more than a 7 days worth of notice if I can. I want to try and get a solid system set up. I also plan to bounce ideas off of forum goers to gauge expected output.

But after I meet up with some of the others ill definitely try and keep the forums updated.

Eh, I'm not too worried. I'm not sure if well be able to fill them to capacity if we do as many as I'd like to do. I figure we have about a 6:1 ratio of guys to girls. I'm hoping if I give 5 months notice and planning I might be able to get it to 2:1. :3

in any case, you might want to tell the ppl of the webpage to take some of the information down
or at least have it say that its not recent information
otherwise ppl might get confused XD

I'll look into that at the next meeting on the 21st, i still need to lock down both Speed Dating threads on the forums and just make a new one for 2012 Discussion and Troubleshooting. But i'm still waiting to have a meeting with the Speeddating head, and to get more of a grasp of our room setups. If things haven't changed from what i was last told, we will hopefully get a room to our own for the whole convention in a satellite hotel. If that's the case i'm wondering if i will do like 2 longer ones each day, or like 3 or 4 of ones like the previous years. It honestly depends on the turnout and demand. I can probably say that we are going to try to accommodate the LGBT community this year; but again, it's all a matter of registration and space allotments.

Are they taking sign ups for the 2012 Speed Dating already? I think I might actually do this event this year, seems interesting.

forever adel · January 19, 2012, 02:02:59 PM

hahah never been to one of these xD

lovelessneko · January 19, 2012, 02:27:45 PM

I might sign up just to see how it is. Sounds fun though.

Roguemagus · January 20, 2012, 10:12:19 PM

I went to the last one and I really enjoyed it. There were some great people there I enjoyed talking to, but sadly I lost the notepad with their names :-[

I'd highly recommend it for this year.

it IS fun. i went to both the first one and the second one. if it hits off this year, it'll only be the third time. and even if theres no romantic connection, i actually hung out wit a couple of the guys that i got matched wit and it was all in good fun :D

That is the goal. It's mostly trying to plan and keep everything going smoothly. We'll probably end up Locking this thread and the other speed dating thread by February and create a new Speed Dating 2012 thread in which to pose a lot of the thoughts we got bouncing around.

So far i'm trying to figure out a suitable round robin meathod for LGBT pools. My friends jokingly suggested splitting them by Seme and Uke, but that's just silly.

It's not that it's hard for me to figure out; i just haven't really... done more than find the problem.
