ermmm, slightly worried because it says you need the confirmation email and proof of ID. I have the ID but never got a confirmation email, will I still be allowed in? =S

If you have your registration letter and ID, you should be fine.

 

Whats a guest encounter?

Basically, a guest, 12 attendees, and 45 minutes round a table to chat.

Whats a guest encounter?

Some days I wonder why I write all these lovely how to guides

 

>>How things work<< thread.

Guest Encounters: These are a 45 minute chat (with coffee/tea/biscuits) with 12 attendees and one guest and can be won in one of two ways:

 

1: Raffle tickets: 2 places in each Guest Encounter will be raffled off. Tickets can be bought at the reg desk. The winners will be announced at the same time as the auction winners. There is no limit to the number of tickets you can buy or the number of Encounters or places you can win.

 

2: Auction sheets: 10 places in each Guest Encounter will the auctioned. This will work by bidding sheets being put up on the wall at the event. One sheet for each guest encounter. There is no limit to the number of Encounters you can win. If you have a winning bid on 2 sheets you will win both.

 

Attendees bid by putting their badge number and their bid on the sheet. At a specific time, which will be stated on the sheet (say 1pm), the sheets come down and the highest 10 bids win. But everyone pays the value of the 10th winning bid. All bids are visible to people bidding later. You can come back and up your bid if you want. But if you want to up your bid you have to add a new one to the bottom of the list, not change your previous bid. That way we know the order that the bids were placed.

 

So let's say 11 people bid with some people changing their bids, the sheet could look like this…

 

NUMBER - BID

G10----£200

G19----£5 – IGNORED AS REBID BELOW

ST301-£10

G59----£10

S1------£7 – IGNORED AS REBID BELOW

G19----£7 – IGNORED AS REBID BELOW

G19----£10

ST23---£17

ST162-£9 – IGNORED AS REBID BELOW

S75----£31

ST197-£8 – IGNORED AS REBID BELOW

S96----£27

S97----£35

ST162-£20

ST197-£20

S1-----£20

 

So once sorted into bid order (And ignoring previous bids from the same person) they look like this...

 

£200, £35, £31, £27, £20, £20, £20, £17, £10, £10, £10.

 

As the 10th highest bid is £10, all 8 people with a bid higher than £10 win, but only pay £10. Even the person that bid £200. As you will see 3 people have bid £10. But there are only 2 places left. So the first 2 people to bid £10 win. In this case ST301 and G59. This is the reason for re-adding your bid at the bottom and not just changing it. If G19 had just changed their bid on line 5 to £10 it would have appeared they were the first person to have bid £10 (i.e. before both ST301 and G59), where as in fact they were the last person to bid £10.

 

ermmm, slightly worried because it says you need the confirmation email and proof of ID. I have the ID but never got a confirmation email, will I still be allowed in? =S

If you have your registration letter and ID, you should be fine.

As etmuse says, your reg letter and ID will be fine, you only need your confirmation email if you DIDN'T get you letter or have lost it.

well, we need to keep you busy

[angelfish]

We're already here, sitting in our hotel room, except.. we just read that we need ID-we don't have any. I have my bank card, but my friends doesn't have anything.

 

We have the letter with our ticket numbers on, but thats all we have.

 

Is that okay?

[phil9290]

I so wish I was coming

 

So depressed that the tickets ran out so quickly. Oh well there's ET3!
