Hi organisers

So with August fast approaching and not much more having been said on the subject, are there likely to be more rooms opened or added in the EF block? Or failing that, any news on an Overfill hotel as there has been in the past?
Friend is on the waiting list for us awaiting a room but would it be an idea for a mail to be sent out reminding people they will be assigned a stranger if they don't arrange with people themselves (to hopefully free up some rooms with people who know each other and have individual rooms at present) and maybe some options for hotels in area that may be recommended by locals.


Cheers guys and hope you are all well.

Not an official answer, as I'm not EF staff, but given that bookings are being made directly with the hotel this year, there will be no random sharing. So if you've booked a room for two people and don't find someone to share with, you'll pay the full cost of the room. This is a change from previous years where you booked a space in a room through the convention, which enabled a finer control over capacity.

The flip side of this being that over 200 people have booked Single rooms (see Cheetah's post in the Announcements section), which artificially limits hotel capacity. Can't have your cake and eat it folks!

Cheetah:
What SouthPaw writes is correct.

Ponda:
Aaaaaand the other questions ? :p

Cheetah:
I'm sorry, I have no news for you regarding the other two questions. It's possible that room blocks are given back, so that space becomes available, but nobody is willing to give us a guarantee when or how much - so I'd rather not make any promises I can't keep.

We do not have any special overflow deals this year ... we honestly did not expect we'd need one ...  :-[
