Events 2017-2018

[alleycat03]

SOSI is July 17-21. I'll be there again and I'll have my AMA thread up like last year once I'm on my way to the airport. We get the rules that Monday afternoon, but the in depth sessions are throughout the week if anyone has a more complex question.

Two questions:
1. What is your AMA thread?
2. Are the SOSI rules accessible to everyone or just the people that attend?

Thanks!

I can answer these:

1. AMA: Ask Me Anything. SOPomo will know what is going on at the SOSI while the rest of us do not, and is willing to answer our many questions on the details. This is the thread from last year.
2. Just the people who attend that and other workshops around the country (I think there's one in California too?).

Why would Game On be back for a third year?

Why would Game On be back for a third year?

I assume because there's no other event that the Inquiry committee believes is ready to be run nationally. Historically there has been a shortage of events in the two rotating spots in Inquiry, hence both Bottle Rocket and Game On returning for a third year in recent times.

So do we know what Mystery Architecture will look like? Is it going to be like Mystery Design, the trial event at Nationals 2016 and New York this year (this one (download warning)), or like the Massachusetts event actually called Mystery Architecture (here)?

If you want to be really wild, you should try running Source Code at your invite.

As a trial event? Strangely this is actually a decent idea, since we wouldn't use any of the computer labs anyway (not going to try to stick a team in there, knowing what happened with Monroe-Woodbury...), and it might build us some reputation. Plus Georgia really needs some trial events (and Game On needs a viable successor).

Game On needs a viable successor

*cough* maybe keep hydrogeo around a few more years and expand on the rules a bit *cough*

Or bring back TPS or bungee drop that would be fun (kidding about the second one. mostly.)

As someone who did both events, I loved TPS and absolutely despised Bungee Drop.
