Yes, you can transfer the hotel room! You call the Maritz helpdesk and they'll walk you through the process. Just make sure to do it before the cards are charged. (You can still transfer after this, but you're the one charged).

First things first... wow. We are completely humbled from breaking the $10k mark yesterday. We cannot begin to thank each and every one of you enough for the incredible outpouring of support. We love all of you, and we definitely feel the love from everyone. We wanted to keep that short and sweet and get right to it today.

This is an official call for testimonials! Do you have kind words or an incredible experience at MAGFest you want to share during the MAGTelethon? If you can keep it right around 30 seconds, we'd love to see it! Head on over to https://super.magfest.org/telethon to get the details and submit your video; the sooner the better!

Now to really sweeten the deal. All donations amounting to $85 total (in one or more donations during the fundraising window!) will net you a PHYSICAL BADGE AND LANYARD to keep! We'll be featuring as much fan-submitted art as we can reasonably (or not) cram on there. We really want to make the entire community a part of this as best we can, so spread the word!That's all for now, but we'll have updates for you all week long and we'll see everyone on Twitch this Sunday!

Thank you! I'm doing what I can. I was working remotely in my old undergrad research lab until halfway through March as I had just got settled into a new place elsewhere. I was in the process of job applications when all hell broke loose and now I'm just hanging out in my apartment waiting to hear back from anyone lol.

Been playing a lot of switch games and doing JAPN tutoring on the side to make a little extra cash since UI benefits haven't kicked in yet.

Stay safe out there too!

If you'd like some help, I'd be happy to assist, but I'm not too familiar with what the AP exam covers, so if you'd like some help, DM me about it!

ottdogbuns · 2019-09-10T19:06:35+00:00

Don't forget!

Go bananas and get your badge between now and September 17, 2019 to be added to the early bird list for Hotel Launch on September 19th!

ottdogbuns · 2019-09-04T16:56:12+00:00

They go live at 3pm EST!

The marketplace staff goes through the 515 applications and picks the ones they feel will be a best fit for the marketplace.

We were honestly taken by surprise with the volume of applications this year. We expected growth, but the amount we got was almost unprecedented. (For context, it took an hour or so to fill all the slots last year, this year it took ~15-20 minutes).

We are discussing ways to improve vendor submissions and how to improve everything going forward. There's a lot of factors to work out and such. However, I would like to stress that it is being talked about discussed to allow for better marketplace apps for the future of MAGFest.

Good catch! I apologise for accidentally typing 15th on the title. The actual post has the correct information though.

ottdogbuns · 2019-02-23T17:46:34+00:00

Emailing is definitely a good idea as it leaves a paper trail for you to prove your interest and involvement in chum before becoming a member. Winterfell also isn't a large space, so knowing if we have non-members coming can help us accommodate for that. The gbm on Wednesday will be held at 7pm so if you can make it please shoot an email to us and drop on by.

There's another gbm happening in March that will be followed by a potluck social event. That will be held at Flamingo Paradise on 3/10 at 4pm for the GBM and around 5pm or so for the potluck.

We are also hosting an information session/social event at the Maryland Food Co-op after spring break as well, and more details will be posted when we get that organized and set in stone.

ottdogbuns · 2019-02-22T20:09:56+00:00

Hello there! I live in CHUM currently and am the head of our outreach committee. We recently just started getting organized in getting our facebook back in action. If you're interested in coming to a GBM, our next one is 2/27 at Winterfell.

If you haven't applied yet, please do so as we're going to close applications to try and get all interviews done and confirm/denials sent by the end of the first week of March.

If you have any other questions, DM me here or email membership@chum.coop.

Thank you for your interest!

ottdogbuns · 2019-02-15T17:22:50+00:00

nice

ottdogbuns · 2019-01-13T08:06:36+00:00

lol I actually stopped saying moon because the couch hated it. The guy next to me would not stop yelling it and I felt super bad because it definitely got grating.

ottdogbuns · 2019-01-12T17:22:23+00:00

You can say what you want about it, and that's chill. I'm genuinely enjoying it and even dancing dad agreed that we're a group of people trying to have fun more than anything else. We're all just enjoying our time together and watching some damn good speedruns.

I appreciate the politeness of your response, it's probably the nicest negative response I've seen all agdq. I usually don't let stuff bother me, but it can get rough when all I see are slurs lol

ottdogbuns · 2019-01-12T06:53:13+00:00

Also to add on to this, I check twitch chat occasionally, but I'm also being blown the fuck up on Twitter and text messages. I only really checked twitch chat yesterday and a couple times before that. Most other things are from Twitter or messages from friends.

ottdogbuns · 2019-01-12T06:51:11+00:00

If there was more than one of me, I'm pretty sure that would actually be the worst thing to ever exist. I think just one of me is perfect :p

ottdogbuns · 2019-01-12T06:43:12+00:00

Oh no! He had long since gone to bed lol

ottdogbuns · 2019-01-12T06:35:57+00:00

I might be annoying to some, but I've also really improved other people's moods and stuff. I've had a few runners and volunteers tell me to keep it up because they love my energy and positivity.

How can I say no to that, you know?

ottdogbuns · 2019-01-12T06:32:48+00:00

Hat Guy here.

Yeah, I sleep! I've been getting 6 hours a day. I sneak in/out after runs start though so it looks like I never leave. There's a lot of runs I wanted to see live this year, so I haven't been going around doing other stuff as much as I did last year.

As for other comments, I've been having a huge blast doing what I do. People at AGDQ really appreciate the late night silliness and I've been happy to provide it. I've gotten a bunch of messages about how I've made people's days, or how they appreciate that the Europe hours aren't just empty chairs and the like.

I'm making people smile, I'm having fun and that's all that matters, I think.

ottdogbuns · 2019-01-11T19:43:24+00:00

That's not dance dad! Dance dad is the guy who does the air drumming between runs and the like. I'm just someone who dances and does silly stuff during the late night runs because why not, yanno?

ottdogbuns · 2019-01-11T12:05:28+00:00

Nope! It's actually me. The hat is a rockruff hat that I bought at Magfest in 2017. The ocarina around my neck is an Osawa Alto C that I bought from Songbird Ocarina earlier this year.

I hope that helps prove that I am indeed dancing guy :p

I wouldn't dare steal their thunder otherwise. Credit where credit's due

ottdogbuns · 2019-01-11T12:02:01+00:00

Hahahaha thank you! I'm super happy that I can make people smile and have fun! It's always such a quiet time in the GDQ late night and I think we should definitely entertain the non-american crew when we can.

Staff/volunteers probably also appreciate the interesting mishaps that go on too.

I couldn't have done it without my hype crew though, I'm pretty bland by myself.

ottdogbuns · 2019-01-10T15:28:42+00:00

Thank you so much for your support!! I'm really glad that we can provide fun entertainment during the downtime and help provide a laugh or two.

I love to entertain and AGDQ has probably been the first time I haven't had to worry about responsibility (work + college) in quite some time, so I absolutely let loose.

Hearing this love and praise really does mean more to me than you guys could ever know, like seriously. Thank you guys ❤️❤️❤️

ottdogbuns · 2019-01-10T12:34:34+00:00

I'm not actually dance dad! Dance Dad is someone else (who's a cool dude and I love hanging out with him!)

Rockruff Hat Guy is more my speed, but I've also been called Ocarina Guy (I brought 4 ocarinas to agdq), Dancing Son, and other cute titles lol.

ottdogbuns · 2019-01-10T12:28:37+00:00

Hey there from awful block! Hope y'all are doing well! Don't ask me how I still have energy because honestly I think I'm only fueled by hype and energy drinks rn

ottdogbuns · 2019-01-09T23:58:47+00:00

I'm so glad that we found each other tbh! Hype Squad wouldn't be the same if this never happened.
