Pegazus Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 (edited) Hey all! It's time for the 2023 Reaper-ite Bingo! Those of you who were on the cards previously, or got a card last year know how the game works, so you can skip the next paragraph. What is Reaper-ite Bingo? It's a convention game I came up that has been generally well received over the years. The game is just like what a bingo game would be, but rather than calling out numbers to fill your card, you must go around and introduce yourself to members of the forum and Discord server who are on your card. Say hi to them, and you can cross their box off. Once you've made "bingo", return to me for your Bingo ribbon. Blackout isn't required but there is a ribbon for doing that. There's nothing to 'prove' you met those who you have said you have, just the honor system. You only punish yourself by cheating yourself out of meeting wonderful people! There could be more volunteers than spaces, so it's possible that not every one will be on every card, and hopefully there will be enough volunteers this year to repeat that for variety. This thread is not for signing up to receive a card to play. This is a signup for people who are willing to be on a card. The cards will be freely handed out at the convention. Just come find me. Be aware, volunteering to be on the card will mean that complete strangers will be coming up to meet you and those strangers may not be actually signed up on this forum. That happens more often than I thought it would each year. If that makes you uncomfortable, then reconsider volunteering. So, the ground rules: I exclude the Reaper peeps since they are all pretty accessible. The game's purpose is to meet the members of the forums and Discord server. I will continue that. Sorry peeps, we love ya, but I feel that's best. A Reaper Peep would be someone getting a regular paycheck from Reaper and who's answer to "who do you work for" is Reaper. The free square in the middle will be me, since everybody has to meet me to get the card. You must be going to ReaperCon to be on the card please! And if possible, the full Thursday to Saturday at least. It's unfair to those whose card you are on if you don't show, or are a Saturday only person. I will not exclude you if you are a Saturday only (or similar) limited attendee. However, people who have you on their cards will get to cross you off without meeting you if you aren't there when they need you for bingo. By replying here on the forums with the information below, you are giving your permission to use the picture provided and your name provided, and to be inundated with people introducing themselves to you. This includes Discord members. Again, you don't need to be active on the forumns, but you do need a forumn account as your reply here serves as a permanent record of you accepting these rules. Once I've printed the cards (much closer to the con than I want), they are set in stone. I can't remove people from the cards, and they're a bit pricey to just toss. Plans change, life happens, and if you become a no-show, you simply become a gimme square and are crossed off automatically by those who need your square. It already happened once and well, it will probably happen again. We'll just roll along in those cases. Signups will be open from now until August 14th. That gives me time to randomize the cards and have them printed on card stock. Once the date passes, no more volunteers will be accepted. One does not need to be very active on these forums to be on the card as many come from the Discord, but it helps people to recognize you. I will not turn away anybody that isn't very active if they really want to be on the card. If there's a question about any of these questions, please quote the text since the numbering is automatic and I can't control it if there's an insertion. I will update these rules as questions and issues come up. All ready to sign up? Good! Here's what you need to do. Reply to this thread with: The name you want to use. I prefer your forum handle, so people might have some idea of who you are. They can always write your real name across the square as a way of crossing you off, but it's up to you what name to have on the card. What picture you wish to use for your square. Again, I prefer your forum picture, but if you are someone who changes it often, I might grab one that isn't current so having you explicitly give me one helps. What days you will be at ReaperCon. I'll put the days you won't be there on the square, and this will help us know if your are there that day or not. I'm only using Thursday thru Saturday, with Wednesday as a simple bonus day. This is optional, but if you could also send a recent picture of your actual self via PM to me if I don't have one already or your appearance has shifted drastically, I'd appreciate it. Something like a full on face shot, without costume. I have my ReaperDex/"cheat sheet" of sorts on my phone to help myself remember who is who. This way I can help direct people to those members they're still needing to collect. My brain isn't wired to put names to faces easily and being tired from the Con won't help that. Having something I can use to point the way will help. Again, this is optional. I think that's it for now. See you all there!

Corsair Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 I'm in! Thursday through Saturday. I will be planning on wearing a bowler hat to help folks find me easier, so if you want to use this image, that's okay. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Count Urlik Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 I’ll be there, and there for the duration. My forum pic and identity are fair game, and I’ll post a recent pic on the forum and discord as we get closer! Thanks so much for putting this together, it was a highlight of my first ReaperCon last year, and I’m really looking forward to it this year. also, this year, Corsair will not escape me!!! 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejala Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 Why not? Forum name and current avatar should work fine. I'm there for the duration, weds-sun, knock wood. I'll be wearing my custom Dragon Storm badge holder and it has a pin of my axolotl avatar on it. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hornist Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 I'll be there the whole time pretty much. My forum picture and name are good for the square since its the same in both the forum and discord. I'm super stoked for this year and can't wait to actually participate in the bingo this go around! 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranky Dog Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 (edited) I've been a bingo regular for years, and I'll keep doing it as long as I'm there (which I am). So my user name and avatar are good. I'll be there Wed-Sun. (Hint for newbies who want to find me: I also wear a pin badge with my avatar.)

Cygnwulf Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 Count me in. Forum avatar is great, I'm here all Wed-Sun, and my picture from last year should still be good (I'll probably even be wearing the same hat...) 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PammyD2 Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 oh I'm so in again! Last year was so much fun! I'll be there the entire time. Forum name and pic are perfect! 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldenPiggy Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 I want to be a part of this if I can. Since nobody here knows me in person, that will add some challenge. My forum name and picture will be fine, and I will send you an actual picture of me when I get a chance. I will be at ReaperCon all four days. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haldir Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 Oh, you know I'm gonna be on in this again. Pretty sure you have my real me photo already. Forum name & avatar is fine. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sylverthorne Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 This year, I should be there the whole time. Forum name and .. if you need a copy of my forum image, lemme know. I usually have a hat, but I might or might not be wearing it. I will probably be wearing a mask most times, tho. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
