Intercon Economic Incentive Package

PLEASE FORWARD THIS TO YOUR GAME LISTS!!!

So every year, IMA reg is about 105.  I suppose it could be bigger if we advertised more.  It's true we're sort of the "best little-known secret of LARP."  A small, quiet convention that is serving free food and booze at an incredibly cheap rate.  But we like being the "thing you have to know about," and it's been a great place to run cool experimental work.  Not trying to be snobby just figure you have to be around a few years to hear about IMA.  We don't compete much with the Boston Convention.

I track registration.  And I know when it should peak.  The Con runs up to 70 and then during the period that would be the last two weeks

On the Day the stock Market first crashed, Intercon Reg was 70.  It had been steadily gaining and was in the period where over about two and a half weeks it should run up to about 110, with a few drops taking us back to 105.

Today Intercon Reg is 71.  The curve didn't just slump, it shattered.  Never seen anything like it.  Healthy, healthy...BAM!

The good news is, MOST OF THE GAMES HAVE MINIMUM.  Most of the games are going to run, only a few are in danger, and there are players who haven't signed up yet.  I think we're going to get everything run.  I've been working on that.

But it's clear we need a larger solution.  By now it is clear that this is not a normal time.  This is not 1992.  It may not be the Great Depression, but you may have to remember Nixon as a President to have been through worse.  The solutions that worked to keep the con afloat in the last two recessions are not good enough now...THIS CALLS FOR MORE!
