TL;DR: Please sign up to help in the kitchen and/or take shifts as NPCs!
Hello my friends!
It is that time again where I ask you to give some of your time to make this volunteer-run event go smoothly.
First, as always, our kitchen is run by players volunteering their time. In order to allow the players who organize this to have fun playing, as well, and to keep them from burning out and leaving us with no one to feed you, we ask that you spend some time in the kitchen helping out if you can. You get 1 CP or 10 leaf per hour working in the kitchen! If you can commit now to working a kitchen shift, that helps planning immensely (both for the kitchen side, and in terms of our ability to schedule plots you might be interested in when you’re not in the kitchen).
The shifts are:
Friday
During setup (5:30 ish until the work is done or the game on meeting): 2 volunteers (prep work and dishes)
Saturday
Throughout the day: 2 volunteers (checking snack availability with ashleigh and making sure snacks are stocked)
7:30 - 9:00: 2 volunteers (cooking, setup, and a bit of serving)
9:00 - 10:00ish: 2 Volunteers (serving and cleanup)
10:00ish until it’s finished: 2 Volunteers (breakfast dishes)
11:30ish - 1:00: 2 volunteers (cooking and setup) (the exact start time depends on how much prep was able to happen on Friday)
12:00: 1 volunteer (inter-meal dishes)
1:00 - 2:00ish: 2 volunteers (serving and cleanup)
2:00ish until it’s finished: 2 Volunteers (lunch dishes)
4:30: 1 volunteer (inter-meal dishes)
5:00 - 6:30: 2 volunteers (cooking and setup)
6:30 - 7:30ish: 2 volunteers (serving and cleanup)
7:30 until it’s finished: 2 Volunteers (dinner dishes)
Sunday
7:30ish - 9:00: 2 volunteers (cooking, setup, and a bit of serving)
9:00 - 10:15ish: 2 volunteers (serving, then packing up food)
10:00ish - Whenever it’s done: 2 Volunteers (packing up food and all breakfast dishes)
You can sign up for a shift here:
Kitchen Sign-Up
There will also be a signup sheet in the kitchen if you can drop in for a little while when you have free time, but committing in advance does make everything run better.
Second, there are enough of you that we are going to need some help giving you enough opponents to make fights fun. To that end, we are asking you to let us know if you’re willing to take a 2-3 hour shift playing NPC opponents. An NPC shift is worth 1 CP or 10 leaf. Please sign up here: NPC Sign Ups
Please sign up if you are interested, and let us know if you have any availability issues (e.g. won’t be around all event, will be going to bed early Saturday, can only play a caster not a melee combatant). We’ll let you know at check-in when we have scheduled your NPC shift for. Bring a set of black clothes if you’re planning to NPC, we will supply any other costuming/props you need.
Finally, if neither of these work for you, consider giving back to the community via volunteering for the childcare program. You can reach out to myself or Melissa at melissamfrechette@gmail.com to volunteer and give her the information needed to run a CORI.
Thank you for any capacity in which you give back to game, whether that is set-up, clean-up, between games crafting, kitchen, NPC shifts, childcare, Red Feather, I could go on. And if right now you aren’t in the place to do any of those things, don’t worry, we all cycle through those times.
Looking forward to telling stories with you again soon,
Jenna
Coordinator of Chaos and Cheese
