I am 100% sure the scorecards will explain the Horcrux, but I am guessing do a specific spell (drink combo maybe?) to receive that Horcux bonus button? And one per student? I don't know, but they all (including the Houses and the completion button) look super awesome!
The Girl Who Gave Everyone the Shortest Jenga Game Ever.
House buttons (and the scorecard) are given to each student for a minimum $1 donation when you check in at your first bar.
The completion button is awarded to each student who completes their scorecard including the bonus challenge of coming in costume.
The Horcrux buttons are a bonus button. Students who earn their completion button are eligible for the bonus challenge. The Horcrux buttons will be random and each will have a specific challenge to earn it.
Next year's bonus challenge will involve the final 3 Horcruxes. Two years from now the bonus challenge will feature the battle against (or with) The Dark Lord and its difficulty will changed based on the number of Horcrux buttons your group has gathered.
The test ticket sales will be closing tonight so I have time to remove them from the system before actual registration opens up. This means you only have a few more hours if you want to double check on whether or not you can register through Eventbrite. I have received zero complaints about the registration process so it's safe to assume that all systems will be go.
Any update on what time ticket sales will commence on HP's birthday? I'm wondering if I need to get on at midnight PST/EST or if it will start in the morning. I'll be away from the computer most of the day for work, so if I need to plan ahead to have my husband do the registration, I'd like to know. :ar!

This. I will be working from 10am until 10pm (EST) all day tomorrow.
Will I be able to still make Hufflepuff house if I can't register until late tomorrow night?

It's usually Slytherin and Ravenblah that fill up relatively quickly followed closely by Gryffinsnore and then finally the Pufflehuffs.
I seem to recall Slytherin DE specifically filled up almost instantly last year. I'd be curious to see if the fast selling out of PAX tickets affects our die-hard regulars.
I'd shit myself if I don't get a Slytherin DE spot this year.

I think Kris and Scott are going to be a larger impact than the PAX ticket madhouse rush.

I already know a couple people not able to make it this year due to missing the ticket window. One of which, I think, this will be his first missed crawl between both Pax Prime and East. I don't really see Kris and Scott affecting our regulars so much, but I could be wrong.
All the same, I enjoy bringing new people into the fold almost as much as seeing familiar faces.
Or, perhaps, you could /not/ sign up and instead leave the space for one of these hundreds of lovely people who are genuinely excited to attend and may have purposely passed up other things for it?

I may as well attend this since I have the Thursday to kill and I dont really have anyone to hang out with.
I have to agree to this. I would be majorly bummed if someone took the last spot in my desired house and wasn't really into being there. There are plenty of other pre pax events going on, too.
Maybe just wait a while/a few days so that the people who are really into it have a chance to sign up?
Edit: ultimately, do whatever you want. No one is gonna beat you up. Well, maybe some of the slytherins...

Sure, just thought I would keep my options open though... but ok.
If you want to participate, don't be afraid to sign up! I would only discourage people that would be arriving to the crawl super late, or have to leave super early, and therefore won't really be there the whole time.
I think having nobody to hang out with is a great reason to join the crawl. It's a fantastic way to meet new people and make fast friends. I mean, if you were only thinking about joining to literally hang around, the board gaming get together may be more your speed... but if you want a great night of new people, drinking, and donating to charity, this event is up your alley.

@redhalo - I had exactly the same experience! I flew up from Phoenix my first year knowing no one and had an absolutely fantastic time. Newcomers are more than welcome as long as they drink and/or aid others in the pursuit of drinking.
Hi there, I have heard of this in the past and have yet to attend. I am from Vancouver and just got my pass the other day from someone who wasn't able to attend - it's my first PAX and I am very excited but... onto the tournament.
Since I'm new, what house should I join? I am Canadian and therefore better than most at holding my own with the consumption of tasty treats.

As someone who has traveled with two of the four houses (and dueled against the other two), there's definitely a different vibe to each house, and they correspond closely to the books.
Hufflepuffs are friendly and convivial - the friendliest and most approachable of all houses.
Griffindors are the most lively - full of excited, bold, outgoing people
Ravenclaws are the most together - just amazingly coordinated and always have something clever in store
Slitherins are often the coolest - a lot of sharp outfits and charming accents. Their DE contingent was a bit scary, though.

A lot of Canadians flock to Ravenclaw.
If you're going to try for Ravenclaw, haunt the shit out of this thread when signups go live. It fills up super fast.

You get your house button and scorecard to start off the night. The Horcrux ones I'm guessing have some challenges tied to them.
The completion button is awarded to each student who completes their scorecard including the bonus challenge of coming in costume.

And a big part of this event is giving PAX newbies a place to meet other PAXers.

This is the first thing I did at my first PAX, coming up with no one, knowing no one. It was a blast, made a lot of friends. A+++ Would do it again.
Same thing happened to me.

I don't think that straight up telling someone to not attend because they might be on the fence about the event is considered an opinion.

I think that people LOVE this event. And that makes them protective of it, which is OK. Wheaton's law sometimes requires validation.
That said, good points have been made and newcomers are encouraged and welcomed.
We're all clear now; everything has been clarified and validated, yes?
