Paradoxical Mouse Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Yeah...they did advertise it. I wouldn't be surprised if there is a bit of backlash for removing the gift certificate/mini 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inarah Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 It might still show up in the swag bag. It's not worth getting wound up over. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

staticjoy Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Is there a way to get a room at the Hilton convention site? If not what are the other options? This will be my first Reapercon and I was really hoping to get immersed in the event. Thanks in advance for the reply. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just been watching the backlash over certain things in Bones 4, and could see this, combined with that, causing issues. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll have to contact the hotel. Remember that it is a major holiday weekend and Reapercon is not the only event being held there. If not, there are other hotels within 1 mile of the con site. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am reporting the most recent information they've given out, but it was more off-hand comment than official announcement, so I would not be at all surprised if the details vary. They were really trying to clarify how the Meet n' Greet tickets will be offered. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There probably won't be a backlash until the realization sets while people are checking in. People just don't like change. In addition to current complaints, I remember the outrage following the two most recent venue changes. This too will pass. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mnemonic Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 (edited) Folks like to get mad about every little thing. It'll be OK in the end though. There will always be squeaky wheels but the majority won't worry about paying 100+ a night, for several nights, for a free mini. But me, I get to drive 1 hour each way to get to the Con! No complaints here though. Edited April 23, 2019 by Mnemonic 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Guindyloo Posted April 23, 2019 Moderator Share Posted April 23, 2019 (edited) I really wish y'all wouldn't inform people what they are or are not allowed to be upset about. It's fine if it's not an issue for you, and you're more than welcome to state your opinion of not being upset about it, but it's honestly unreasonable to assert your feelings on the matter onto other people. Reaper advertised free items both here and on facebook, if they have decided to back out of something that they have already advertised, then they should be expected to answer for that. They don't need anyone to answer or apologize on their behalf. If people are being nasty, that's a different thing, but again, Reaper is responsible for their own customer service and people who are upset about possibly having been misled, even if you think it's a small thing, it's Reaper's responsibility to handle it. Being told or having it implied by a fellow customer that you are not allowed to be upset about something simply because they're not upset about it is never going to make anyone less upset. So, @Reaper Ron or @ReaperAHawk can you please confirm that the items that were advertised both here and on the Reapercon facebook page as being included with booking at the convention venue will no longer be included for the customers who have already filled the available room blocks? If it is the case that those items will no longer be included, then please confirm what WILL be included so that people know what to expect and are not left to speculate what may or may not be true.

ironman1231 Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Listening to that, it's not clear what @Reaper Ron was saying. My gut says that he was saying "There won't be Meet N Greet Tickets in the hotel goody bag", not that there wouldn't be any goody bag at all. But @Guindyloo is absolutely correct, clarification would be great. The primary reason I'm staying at the convention hotel is the goody bag - otherwise I'd have pricelined something or looked for an AirBNB nearby. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depending on how you reserved your room, that option may still be on the table, if you don't like how the hotel deal works out. My reservation clearly allows free cancellation up until 2 days before my scheduled check-in. I will not speculate further on the deal Reaper is offering until there is an official answer. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cygnwulf Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 (edited) also fair to point out that Ron and Ed have said things that were incorrect on reaper live before, not out of malice but just out of confusion or bad memory, so as @Guindyloo said it would be nice to see a confirmation or clarification.
