So after much gossipdeep discussion about NDK (Both this year and many past), and the issues that arose, I'm trying to set up a system that makes things run as smoothly as possible.
After all this talking, we were able to narrow down that the biggest issues in NDK hotels was not respecting others. Their comfort level, their money, etc.
This is how it'll run next year (These are not sugar coated. I tried writing it up that way and it just sounded patronizing as shit):
At a date pre-con, one to two weeks before, I will ask everyone to confirm that they are staying in the room. I will TRY to cut the price a bit for those who get the floor, BUT keep in mind three to a bed isn't the most comfy either.
Everyone who confirms will be locked into paying. The price will be split evenly between them and that's the price. I don't care if you end up sleeping in the elevator, getting sick and not going, whatever. It lowers the amount of screwing others over. If we end up with other people staying over, we'll discuss what to do with that money then (Pay for pizza, split it up evenly among roommates, etc)
Also, there will be no drinking/drunks in the room. Go get smashed, just don't force other to put up with it. Another room, stay down at the bar till you sober up, whatever.
If you're a little tipsy we're not gonna kick you out, but it's up to whomever's in the room at the time where tipsy goes to disruptively drunk. Yeah this kinda falls unfairly on those who handle their alcohol better, but eh.
And lastly, no shenanigans in the hotel room. This has been a problem several times, and weighing the most prudish opinion (Not that I have to worry much about Shea objecting to anything anymore, but...) verses the most liberal, I decided it was best to err on the side of caution. Sorry, but there's enough places to get private time, and it's not worth making people uncomfortable when you can just go elsewhere.
I know these seem a bit harsh, but really they boil down to "Don't be a douche", and hopefully this will make EVERYONE comfortable in the hotel room.
If you had any other specific complaints that you'd like me to try to work something out over, leave a comment (Or PM if it makes you uncomfortable to ay it aloud for some reason)

There are times and places for everything. So now this is out in the open, we should know the boundaries!
So I say to this "HERE HERE!!!"

Hopefully this will set up everything BEFORE hand
And don't feel bad, I have been guilty of some of the above as well. Mainly the shinanigans.
(And I can't tell for a fact, but at least I know when I was in your guys room, you were pretty chill with the drinking, and going elsewhere, etc. But I wasn't there that much so IDK how much reassurance that i)
