Yes you can take a cheat sheet with you to answer the questions. The idea is to prove you read the thread and are on the forums not that you can memorize 12 questions
Well here it is, the back of the forum badge! Over 160 names are present on it for this year, stand up and be recognised people
Soooooo happy I made the badge
Sadly no pre-pax shin-dig this year as me and my cousin will be flying in late Thursday night - so i guess its a quick trip to BYOC area

This is the pre-printer correction photo, right?
Doofenshmirtz: Wow, if I had a nickel for every time I was doomed by a puppet, I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice, right?
I feel silly for asking, but where exactly is the BYOC desk?
the BYOC table is in front of the BYOC area near the PC area on the 6th floor. The mobile apps have full maps; you should be able to find the PC area there.

Wow. Great work! Thanks so much for fixing my name <insert happy dance here>
I do see a couple of small nitpicks errors in the question/answers.
Question 1) Looks like you have Post Pax Party listed twice.
Question 8) I'm pretty sure cookie brigade GIVES crunchy and sweet foodstuffs and asks for donations for Child's Play.
I SO can't wait to get my badge (almost as much as PAX itself).
Doofenshmirtz: Wow, if I had a nickel for every time I was doomed by a puppet, I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice, right?
Hey all never posted in this thread before, but I guess I have been busy. Playing Bayonetta, Portal 2, finishing MW2, APB again and I'm trying to learn Magic before the convention. This past weekend I took my first steps in TF2 and played the From Dust Demo. Whew! If there is some room I would appreciate the love!
You do know I'm not the primary forum admin, right? I'm the PAX forum moderator (there is much more to this forum outside of PAX).
Po-tay-toh, Po-tah-toh, Moe. (J/K!) I've been there, it's not really bad until people start accusing you of being an employee of the company whose fourms you happen to volunteer moderate . (Sadly this one is true).
Stupid question perhaps, but... I know we pick these up at the BYOC area (for those unable to attend any pre-PAX stuff). Is that the area labelled PC on 6th floor, or will it be one of the small rooms in the WSCC? Just trying to figure out where I need to go to pick mine up!
This is a phenomenal job kropotkin, you have outdone yourself. Sadly I will not be making the pre-pax dinner this year as I had hoped because work did not allow for it. However, I've noticed that my handle made the list, I appreciate that, and will look to pick this up from BYOC Friday. Thanks again.
@beta_angel: I was curious what the surface was like, paper or laminate?

The only things outside of the PAX forums are wolves. Wolves and cold.
And squirrels. Evil, Evil squirrels.

Just don't want my question to get lost... Anyone on the BYOC staff or anything that can direct me as to where to go on Friday?

Okay, fine, the only things outside the PAX forums are the following: wolves, cold, evil, evil squirrels, sad kittens in Menolly's wake, and terrifying little bunnies.
Now let's get the discussion back on track before moe adds us to that list as well.

The best advice I can give is to head over to the PC Freeplay area. This is usually very close to the BYOC section, which is very clearly sign-posted.

If you ever find yourself lost, there should be a world map somewhere nearby, and if not, there is almost guaranteed to be a friendly Enforcer around, happily willing to answer your questions, and give directions!
@beta_angel: I was curious what the surface was like, paper or laminate?
It's the feeling a babys ass on your face.
Also, it's more of a glossy, cardboard. They're not uber-flimsy like basic paper, but they're not stiff like an erect pe...they have give and they're made well.

Well I'm referring to the PAX Forums specifically, not all of the PA Forums as a whole. Even still, I'll amend the question slightly
