Showmasters Admin Too Tall Posted October 23, 2009 Showmasters Admin Share Posted October 23, 2009 The thing which was awaiting confirmation last night so the schedule couldn't be posted? Perhaps I'm mistaken and it was confirming photoshoots, it doesn't mind. Thanks for replying anyway. It wasn't something special that was delaying the schedule. Just something quite mundane. Not to say that something special isn't planned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debsmadcat111 Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 I cant understand why Bens doing a photoshoot and Katy isnt? Would much rather it be the other way round! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators DavidB Posted October 23, 2009 Moderators Share Posted October 23, 2009 Ben is there for both days, like James and Gareth. It makes more sense from a scheduling perspective to have him doing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to say that something special isn't planned Haha, you're such a tease. It's going to be a brilliant event and I can't wait until tomorrow. Will tickets for The Hub 4, if there is one *fingers crossed*, go on sale at this event? Thanks in advance. Edit: I'm sorry if this is a pain, is it possible to get a slightly larger schedule? I'm findining it quite hard to read, thanks. Edited October 23, 2009 by Doctor Who Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm off to the show now and don't have time to do anything about the ones on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone on here has been such a great help in preparing me for the event as I'm new to all of this. I'm really excited for tomorrow and of course, Sunday too. I'll see you all there at the weekend and I hope you all have a great time at the event. I'm sure I'll be booking a Silver ticket for The Hub 4 if they are available.

kkyrilovna Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Sorry if this is a dumb question, but what is an 'Intimate Encounter'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor Who Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 (edited) Sorry if this is a dumb question, but what is an 'Intimate Encounter'? At other events, it's sometimes called a 'Guest Encounter'. I've just tooken this from a post made by the wonderful Too Tall on the 'How Things Work' thread and I hope it helps; 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 20 people bid with some people changing their bids, the sheet could look like this… NUMBER BID ST150 £5 ST151 £5 G10 £200 S47 £5 G19 £5 – REBID BELOW ST267 £5 ST301 £10 S159 £9 G59 £10 G88 £10 S111 £7 S1 £7 – REBID BELOW G19 £7 – REBID BELOW ST189 £10 G19 £10 ST23 £17 ST162 £9 – REBID BELOW S75 £31 G45 £7 ST197 £8 – 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, £10, £10, £9, £7, £7 £5, £5, £5, £5. 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 5 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. It's a lot to take in but hopefully you'll have a clearer understanding after reading it, I hope you enjoy the weekend. I'm 99% sure that I'm going to have a fantastic weekend there and can't wait to arrive tomorrow. Edited October 23, 2009 by Doctor Who Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkyrilovna Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Thank you very much, Dr. Who. I was mixing that up with the auctioned dinner - or was that at Hallowhedon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No problem and James will be doing an auctioned dinner for this event too. Welcome to the forum by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor Who Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 (edited) Now that James Marsters has unfortunately had to cancel, can we please have photoshoots with Katy Wix? I'm absolutely gutted about James having to cancel as he can't fly so that would cheer me and everyone else up a bit. I know it's probably too late to book a new guest so as you can imagine, everyone is feeling a bit gutted right now. It's not your fault though.

marvola Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 James was a sponsered guest, so I can't imagine anything changing other than a talk or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will affect the schedule though and there may now be time for photoshoots with Katy. Might not be that simple. Given that a photoshoot would be additional work for the guest (not to mention reproductions of the guest's image), this might well involve contract revision, which might need checking out by legal advisors etc. (And who packs a lawyer into their bags to go to a Torchwood con?)

Yeah, very true. I know it's probably unlikely that we'll get photoshoots with Katy but I'm still hoping for one. Stranger things have happened so you never know. Even if we don't get the photos, there's still lots of great things happening. Edited October 23, 2009 by Doctor Who Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators DavidB Posted October 23, 2009 Moderators Share Posted October 23, 2009 They certainly do everything they can to rearrange things when they change. I was at the last Red Dwarf con and there was a guest cancellation, so they managed to get one of the other guests to do an extra appearance the following day. So it's not impossible. Obviously I still think people shouldn't get their hopes up for certain things at such late notice, but I do know ME do everything they can to sort things out for the attendees to have the best weekend possible.
