The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
East 2017 Room Shares [part 2] - please read the OP!
While strict enforcement of the one post per person rule has cut down heavily on the reposting to get on the front page, it has also caused some problems with posts that need modified late in the game but are stuck on an old page.
There is still a one post per person policy, but I will be starting to cull posts from the thread that have been struck out or marked as no longer valid. I will try to do this as necessary, but there will not be a hard schedule for this purpose. This will mean that there should not be a wall of inactive posts to sift through in order to find active ones. Also it means that if someone had a post that was culled from early on, they can freely re-post it later if shit went south. If you abuse this, your ability to post in this thread will be revoked entirely.
----
Post here if you are looking to share your room, or looking for a room to share. Please keep your posts up to date!
YOU MAY NOT POST HERE TO TRADE ROOM SPACE FOR BADGES.
You get ONE post in this thread per UNIQUE room share situation. Do not re-post your offer/request. Re-posts will be deleted.
If you need to modify your post and cannot edit it yourself (accounts below a certain participation threshold), PM me and I will make the edit for you. Not having permission to edit is not a valid excuse for re-posting.
If you *really* think you have a good reason to post for a second time, PM me first.

Additional Notes:Looking to take over a hotel room at a Hotel that is very close to the venue. Thank you.
I am legally blind (and a cosplayer), and the max number of people I want in the room total is 4, for safety and mobility reasons. On my end, it's me and one other, nonsmoking, so I'm looking to add up to 2 people.
I'm blind and older (30+), and am okay with sharing the main queen if the other person is female or someone I know. There is a second queen pullout available. No smoking- alcohol is fine but no parties. The AirBnB does not allow marijuana (even medical) and I am highly allergic to hemp so even if that's legal for you I cannot be near it. (Only mentioning it here as someone asked if they could consume their regulated medical mj since they thought it was my apartment-no, you can't)
HAVE SPACE AVAILABLE:
Hotel: Air BNB a block from con.center (<5 minute walk). Includes a queen AND a pullout bed in a luxury apartment with kitchen. (Since this has come up, this is an AirBnB I rented, it is NOT my apartment)

Best Contact Method: bittelbs@lemoyne.edu or pm me on here.
Additional Notes/Requests: Hello, myself and a friend are booked in at the Ames Boston Hotel. A third friend was going to come, but they ended up getting a promotion and are thus unable to make it. I say "Might be 2" because the room is fit for 4 people, but the res was for 3. I am pretty much just posting here to see if anyone would be interested in coming along with us, since I feel it would be a waste to not fill that last space. You would be absolutely welcome to hang out with us at PAX, and I have made plans for restaurants/other things each night if you'd like to join us in those as well. This would be my 4th PAX East. Uber/Lyft to the convention center (and to restaurants if you choose to come with us) is on me. If interested, please feel free to ask me questions via pm or email. For the sake of my health, please don't be a smoker. Thanks!

ANYWAY. I will not be staying here, therefore I would transfer the room to somebody else. I can be there any time tomorrow (Thursday) after noon to check in with you and transfer the information over (I've done this before, it's easy). So if there's any group of friends looking for a place to stay, or if any of you in here want to group up and take this, please let me know ASAP because otherwise I will be calling them within the next few hours to see if I can cancel it penalty-free.
I will delete this post when the room has either been cancelled or somebody has claimed it. So if you are reading this, it is still open.
