Greetings all.

I want to inform everyone that I have consulted with my fellow TDs for the 2020 North American Continentals in Atlanta and we have come to the unanimous decision that the most responsible course of action at this time is to postpone our event. I'll be writing up an article to this effect, but I wanted to let you all know as soon as we came to a decision.

If you've already registered for the events, there is no need to un-register at this time. We still plan to have the event. If you've made travel plans to attend NA Continentals, please feel free to PM me with some alternative date ranges that would best fit your schedule. I can't promise that we'll be able to accommodate them, but I can assure we'll make every effort to schedule it on a weekend that works best for everyone.

Right now, our plan is to hold the event at the same location at a new date to be determined, but I'll also be reaching out to OP to investigate the possibility of moving the event online if no suitable alternative dates are forthcoming or in the case that this virus lasts longer than I'm sure we all hope it does.

If you've made travel or hotel arrangements and you need something in writing to help you with rescheduling your trip, please let me know.

Stay healthy out there!

Regretfully and Respectfully,

Michael Shea
The Prefect
On behalf of my fellow TDs Rick Kinney, Robin Anthony, Ryan Sutton, and Scott Baughman

Good to see there are some adults (Shea) making big boy decisions.

Seriously, if the OP Director can't do his job because of real world issues than he should step down. OP wasn't exactly making the best decisions before THE PLAGUE. Like 2E, it's time for a new leadership in that department.

Of course, I should trust the medical professionals on the CC boards. The same ones who said the virus will go away when it gets warm.
So, because Kris doesn't know when the corona virus outbreak will subside, he should be removed? That, and I guess because he didn't schedule Worlds in rural Texas?

Seems like a weak argument.

Sorry, only Shea gets to do the thing where you put words in my mouth and then ask me a question.

Please don't take anything I say as disparagement.. but aren't you the guy who literally took his kids on an airplane to goto a different airport.. in a different (shitty) state... to play Star Trak cards?? At a tournament that literally everyone else didn't show up for?? but you are praising Shea for doing the right thing and canceling a tournament???

I mean OP is OP... but you flew across the country to to infect BenHosp.. but then told Shea he was doing the right thing...

I'm REALLY confused right now...

N!

Because the game right now is: I'M SCARED, HOW DARE YOU NOT BE SCARED?

The only thing that can fight a plague is decency, but unfortunately people have turned into being self-righteous, judgmental dickheads to deal with their stress.

Yes. I even made a Freed Locutus avatar to celebrate my emancipation.

The Grand Nagus says put it all in cash right now anyway, so it shouldn't hurt my stacks of latinum.
That's fair. I didn't get the Locutus connection though.

Not sure if you blocked me or not, but I sent you a text offering to contribute cards to your 1e Tin draft if you need anything. That offer stands. PM or text me if you're interested.

In the meantime, I wish you good fortune in the plagues to come. :P

There's a lot of collateral damage blocking right now. Best to PM me anything since you don't use The Facebook.
