Dear Reader!

This is intended to be a page of resources, help, and advice for an Autocrat of Mooneschadowe's Triumphe. The information here will translate well enough to other events, but will need to be adjusted accordingly.


Note on Edits

  • Hi! I'm only semi-organized, so this page will take a little bit to settle into functionality. In the meanwhile, thanks for stopping by, and please do email if you come up on something that makes you say "wtf mate?" or find a place where I'm missing information. Email: <elsa@hailmog.org> Thanks! --Elsa 11:40, 16 August 2012 (PDT)
  • More edits set up today. I populated the Mooneschadowe Timeline and Autocrats R/R pages. They'll still need nitpicking. --Elsa 09:51, 22 August 2012 (PDT)
  • Added the Invitation via Email Listerv link and content. --Elsa 13:20, 29 August 2012 (PDT)
  • Added the Emergency Action Plan link and content. --Elsa 08:30, 11 September 2012 (PDT)


Event Checklists

In no particular order as yet:

Post Event Thanks

It's the nice thing to do to send a thank you note to the people who showed up and those who helped (and they're often the same people). And when you send a nice note out, a lot of the time, you'll get nice notes back. And that's nice, lol.

I always have a problem with wanting to thank everyone personally, and then getting mostly through the letter and realizing that I didn't see who did Thing X, and then scrapping the whole thing because I don't want to forget anyone. So, here's a template of features that are nice to include in a thank you letter to more people than you can sanely list by name.


Points to Include:

  • Semiformal Greeting including when the event happened and what it was (name of event including number)
  • Thanks to Visitors from far away, especially
  • Thanks to Merchants (if you had any)
  • Thanks for help with this year's "catastrophe" (every year has one)
  • Activity turnouts if they were good or notable
  • Competition winners (include play-by-play and/or honorable mention if possible)
  • Include Insegnante here, or separately - just don't forget them!
  • Home-group people who received awards and did notable awesome things
  • Say nice things about Feast!
  • Say nice things about the Site!
  • Ask for pictures to be posted somewhere
  • Sign off with something upbeat/optimistic
