West 2016 Room Shares - 2016 comes with an updated policy, so 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one post per person policy, but I will be starting to cull posts from the thread that have been struck out or marked as no longer valid.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:
PAX West will mark the 2nd convention I have ever attended in my life, the 1st being MAGFest 11. Since I am unfamiliar with Seattle's layout, I would prefer to be at walking distance to the con, however if need be, I can go for anything with a nearby bus route. Also, while I say Sept 1 and 7th for my arrival and departure dates, that is likely subject to change until I have the plane ticket in my possession.

Additional Notes/Requests: This will be my 6th consecutive year attending PAX, but my first as an Enforcer so I would like to room with other like-minded Enforcers if possible. In either case, I am a very relaxed individual who is very easy to get along with. I'm known for bringing card/board games as well as a game console to help pass time with movies & games. Doesn't matter where I sleep; the floor will do me just fine. Don't even care if you imbibe alcohol, just request no smoking (of ANY kind). However, I am trying to be frugal with my money so it would have to be someplace inexpensive to contribute my share. I would like to stay within walking distance of the convention center, just to get myself to work. Overall, hope to make my PAX West (as well as yours) memorable.

I'm also looking for Space just in case this doesn't work out. It's a bit much for me to sport by myself.
If you are interested I will want to skype with you to make sure you're chill. I'll add you to the hotel guest listing so you get a key card as well. I'll also ask for payment in advance so I can put to down payment in advance so I can show I'm legit on my side as I will screen capture it, and show that you are on the guest listing. I'm okay with people drinking, I'm also non smoking, and I'm an opera singer
