Respawn Needs YOU!, The time is now. Options

[Tank]

We love fresh meat. We love fresh meat so much, we want some more.

The Respawn team is always on the hunt for more people willing to help out with the event. The skills required to run Respawn are many and varied, but we need the most help during the set up and pack up processes - nice strong able-bodied people who are willing to do a bit of hard work.

If you’re interested in any of the following roles, we may be the organisation for you!
Setting/packing up tables and chairs, (un)loading equipment, cable rolling and laying
Running a competition/fun comp/AFK comp
Food handling and front desk managing
Security or traffic management

Being available early Friday or able to stay back until pack up has been completed on Sunday is a highly desirable attribute (although not both - we realise not everyone is inhumanly fit). Being fun, trustworthy and the ability to follow instructions is mandatory.

(It is worth noting that if you just want to help us pack up, you’re more than welcome to stay back after the event and help for as much or little time as you are able - we appreciate every bit of help that’s given, especially once the LAN is over and we just want to get home to the shower)

While we don’t offer any financial rewards for helping out, we definitely don’t forget the work that is done, and at the very least we offer some Respawn store credit.

Still interested? Awesome! Let us know by posting below, or contacting an admin. We love awesome people, and we hope you’ll love us too.

The strict timeframes you set really aren't all that strict. We look at things as best we can. I know there are a few people reading this thread asking what they can do and when can they do it? I think the best thing to consider with helping us out, We are very flexible as we know all our players have lives (work, study, family, religious). R4N has mentioned he will contact those interested, tell us what you want to help with and when your available to help.

* This occurs from 9am Friday morning and we finish pack up usually around 6pm Sunday night *
Setting/packing up tables and chairs
(un)loading equipment
cable rolling and laying
preparing, laminating, sorting tags
preparing the venue based on theme

Traffic management there is an early morning brief to discuss options and our plan of attack, then from about 8am onwards we're outside keeping the traffic moving. Parking and moving cars (we don't drive them but tell them where to park and move) by regulating the flow of traffic. This lasts usually until about 12pm so it's usually about a 4hr shift.

Best contact Tank for these options but they are generally across the weekend Saturday 10am to Sunday 3pm as she has plans that work well!
Security
Running a competition/fun comp/AFK comp
Food handling and front desk management

Hope this post gives you guys some insight into Respawn operations and what we do.

Once a few of the local boys get wind of a hall filled with millions of dollars worth of shit, a few volunteer security guards and no police presence 'Heat' is a very scary thing.

Really, you've missed one key point. We're on LaTrobe University campus, we have direct links to the security gate and the police if we need them. There has never been a security incident because everyone is vigilant and protects their equipment. There is always someone watching, manning the front desk which is our main entry/exit.
