Check In: How To? Options

[Chapy]

Hey guys,

This being my first LAN, I was wondering how it works when I show up at the door? I'm in the top 500 and everything, do I simply state my nickname, pay then I'm free to go in?

What if somebody takes your name and pretends that they are you before you arrive?

Thanks

Personally, I'd like to see the confirmation shuffle have a certain date/time. That way, those in the waiting list just outside the 500 could know if they have to take time off work or not, etc.
Is it hard to actually do the shuffle?
If not, you could perhaps do the first one say a week before the event then maybe every day leading up to.

Just a suggestion.

The shuffle that they're talking about is simply anyone that isn't yet confirmed gets bumped down to below the people that are confirmed. Anyone that confirms after the shuffle will usually go straight to the bottom of the confirmed list.

The way the waiting list is looking at the moment then If you're in the top 100 or so on the waiting list then you should get bumped up into the first 500 if you're confirmed.
