asdv Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 What is the guest encounter? Do we all meet the actors? Borrowed from here 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: If you have a Guest Encounter that starts at the same time as the first talk, please enter the talk hall FIRST and claim your seat for the rest of the day by leaving something on the chair to show that it is taken. 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, DO NOT change or cross out 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. Thank you very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adriangill Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 1of2 and Too Tall thank you both for your replies about photos, call me sad but I like to see different outfits on different days in my photos!!!!!! Not as sad as what I do. I normally try and wear similar black t-shirts in all of my photo shoots so that they look the same. I don't know why I do that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueenVee Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Is this going to be revamped (pardon the pun) if another guest has cancelled ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators DavidB Posted August 1, 2011 Moderators Share Posted August 1, 2011 I imagine it will be changed at some point once ME has had everything confirmed, and decide what they are doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QueenVee Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 It does seem strange that their first thought isn't to contact the organisers... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stepster Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Fingers crossed that the only change needed on that awesome schedule will be changing the name Mariana Klaveno to Allan Hyde lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CelticRob Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 It does seem strange that their first thought isn't to contact the organisers... Maybe they found out about filming just before tweeting...and thought best to announce it asap so everybody knows, including ME. She could be in transit and her agent is the one dealing with contacting organisers etc...This is instant global communication, surely no bad thing? Sometimes guests don't cancel for work - not in this case with marianna - a guest at a recent uk event cancelled late, not for work, but because they recently had done a trip to the uk and couldn't face another long haul journey so soon after...
