We took down one pretty easily with 8 today. 5 of whom were over 30. Lugia needs at least 11 or 12 but Articuno and now Moltres go down easier. (Smallest group I did Arti in was 7) There aren't a whole lot of players in my little town but several are level 35+ so we manage with what we have.

Yeah I said the same. In 2010. (And I did 2 days of photo distribution my first show... what was I thinking)

If Saturday was anything like Friday (I was working sales desk Friday am) then another thing that slows things down hugely is the surprisingly large number of people who get to the front of the queue and still don't actually know what they want to buy...

I may have gushed a tiny bit in my few moments at the auto table, she was so lovely.

Autographs are paid for at the guest tables (unless paying by card then you need to buy vouchers at the sales desk to hand over at guest table). Check out the FAQ thread for details of the virtual queue system, as Mads will definitely be on this system.

Update from the show: Gemma Whelan and Chris Judge each have an additional morning shoot on Saturday in area F, Gemma at 10 and Chris I think was 10.15

Wouldn't work for everyone anyway - I'm on the crew so don't need an entry ticket but bought a couple photoshoots

Unless we know for sure that everyone with a ticket has gone through, the crew do not generally release a guest at the photo area until the scheduled end time. (Turn up 1 min after that however and they'll almost certainly be gone)

you can go any time after your batch has been called (until the shoot has ended, obviously)

If the auto line isn't crazy long/busy, there is a chance there to ask a question or two. The photos you literally have time to say hi as you step in then the picture is taken and it's the next person's turn.

I'd recommend checking out the FAQ thread. Most of your questions are answered in there.

Correct.

Per person (but you get a photo each and can do different poses for each)

With the reliability of the postal service that caused more problems than it solved (also doesn't allow for last minute purchases)

In both cases go to the shoot that starts first and mention to crew that you have the other shoot (showing tickets) and they'll make sure you are through in time

Places to store bags. I believe it's about £1/2 per item depending on the size of item

I've got my system worked out now for whenever there are changes, so I can get it out with minimal work... (needless to say I still hope there aren't many more changes...)

Aaand excel updated again. Same tabs as last update, alphabetical list now has each person's activities in time order (because it bugged me, even if no one else) https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bweni_nzE1FbRHVMMVA1aTF4Rmc/view?usp=sharing

Yes, another update will be coming.

This thread has the most up to date information.

This whole full time job thing is drastically getting in the way of my attempts at legendary raids - all of yesterday's happened while I was at work, and there were 3 today while I was at work. And watch there be nothing but boring level 1/2 raids for the rest of the evening now...

Sunday link has been fixed. And my spreadsheet is once again up to date. (For now)

Updated excel sheet: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bweni_nzE1FbZnRqMWRZWUVaTjg/view?usp=drivesdk 'Alpha' sheet is whole schedule (now including talks) by guest name Day sheets have schedule for that day sorted by area and time

I think that's the kind of thing that if it's at all possible to go by his auto table earlier in the day to ask/warn him then that would be a good idea.

I was super lucky - got it 1st ball (with a golden berry). I didn't manage to meet up with the big group raiding until later in the day so missed out on 2 previous articuno raids and a lugia as I was alone! But found the right local FB group now so I have more chance from now on (there aren't so many people still playing in my area that I'm likely to randomly find enough people otherwise)
