Myst Brigade

05/04/2021

Recently, we said we had big news, and here it is! After a bit of negotiating with the hotel, the room rate has been dropped from 116 a night to 89 a night!!! That's right, you will only pay $89 a night for your room at the Marriott East for InConJunction 40!

If you already reserved under the $116 rate, don't fret- you will be charged $89.

So what are you waiting for? Get your room, get your badge, sign up to do some programming, and come see us July 2-4!

You can cancel your reservation at any time, and you won't be charged until InCon weekend!

It is with a concerned and heavy heart that I must announce that regardless of Who's Yer Cons announcement, That MystBrigade is going to cancel Starship Bridge sims at WYC April 10-12. We wish it wasn't necessary, but this event involves equipment and surfaces requiring contact by numerous folks and could easily provide a contagion vector during this outbreak. The costs and remaining risk even could I afford them supplies is far too high. We wish everyone health and safety, but we will not be at Who's Yer Con in April.. Should they manage to reschedule or until 2021 We hope to see you all at the next Who's Yer Con!

6 Bridges, 3 Days 14 hours each and 1 day 6 hours.

Day 1, We've discovered we're not in the GenCon events book. Everything setup and running. Got 1 review from a group that played cooperative with another bridge. Apparently my crew had some difficulty setting up the coop bridges, but no issues with Empty Epsilon (I was out running damage control on logistics issues when it occurred). 1 Laptop overheated late in the day and died.

Day 2 Got signage, more players lots of fun had. Filmed by a Podcast group.. still looking for their card so I can post a link. Only Empty Epsilon issues reported were related to the Beams portion of the Helm tutorial being confusing. Lost another laptop to thermal failures.

Day 3 Blew a single port on a switch (had to be a bridge interlink port didn't it), 3 bridges down for over 30 minutes.. but we recovered... Occasional issues with Engineering exiting/crashing on destruction (20160609 build) but nothing major or impacting game play.. 1 Player decided to reboot Helm because he felt it hung or was unresponsive.. We only found out because he was then lost when he realized it was Linux not Windows.. Lost 2 more laptops... some how they only fail if I leave the room for more than 30 minutes....

Day 4 Empty Epsilon has run well all Convention. 4 out of Six Servers have been running continuously for the 4 days without even exiting the application at all. 1 Crashed when an untrained staffer spawned an unspecified number of Random Waves (in excess of 40 in under a minute) he's been banned from station engineering bay. 1 Hung 2 different times during the weekend, but it was a full system hang, possibly a failing USB port which drops the boot drive if it gets bumped or wiggled by wiring on the table.

We plan to do this again next year.
