Dec 17, 2008 13:06:10 Hey all, I started the LFR Campaign at DragonCon08 in Aug/Sep and played several tables there. I note though that they still aren't put in the system officially.

Is there an ETA on this being completed? It'd be nice to know they were reported. I put in an appeal about it, but that appears to be a dead link, as it generates no feedback whatsoever - no replay email, no acknowledgement that it was recieved, etc.

Dec 17, 2008 13:41:00 Entering RPGA results for a big convention, using the new RPGA/DCI integrated event system, is a major pain for the event coordinator. (Check the threads on this board about GenCon or Penny Arcade Expo event results to see what I'm talking about.)

You may want to check with whoever was the RPGA co-ordinator for DragonCon. While it's possible that there's a hold-up on the results being posted on the RPGA's side, it's far more likely that they haven't been posted because DragonCon's co-ordinator hasn't finished entering them yet. And, if they haven't been entered yet, an appeal to RPGA about them wouldn't accomplish anything.

Dec 17, 2008 14:15:18 Thank you for attempting to explain the delay, I do appreciate that. The delay's causes, however, do not give me any idea when I may expect some sort of end to the wait - which is what I'm really looking for.

It's perfectly acceptable for things to be held up. There have been alot of changes in the last year and people are still not used to it. I prefer to try to stay on top of things though so that if there's a timeline for a fix I can at least say "hey, there's progress happening".

Well, assuming that the issue is that DragonCon hasn't been reported yet...unfortunately, unless the Senior GM for DragonCon is checking this board, you're not likely to get your answer here. If you really want that answer, you should probably start by finding out what you can from the DragonCon folks directly.
