Quote from: danskmacabre;1053852Sorry, I think I'm missing something here. So I need some clarity before I answer.

Was the guy who was assaulted an exhibitor at the event?
I thought he was some YouTube guy who was visiting Gencon?

If I understand correctly, the guy who committed the assault WAS an exhibitor at Gencon (I think he made some boardgame or something?).



Absolutely I agree here. Assuming you mean the alleged criminal is the guy who committed the assault.

Alleged attacker was an exhibitor.
Alleged victim is not an exhibitor -- regular conventioneer
Alleged criminal does in fact refer to the one who committed the assault (the exhibitor)

Ok, so yeah I agree with you, given you point was:
the alleged criminal should have been barred from the venue and his booth removed

I think you might have been confused with my statement earlier:

so it's irrelevant whether he should have been banned or not although as pointed out by yourself, it's not a WOTC event anyway.

As that was in response to someone else stating the YouTuber should have been banned from GenCon as he was banned from WotC events for some previous thing he'd done before Gencon or something.

Anyway, my brain hurts....

I followed your instructions, but I think what you've really found is that PAX does a lousy job of purging its website of old links, and a lousy job of organizing their links. The cache clearly shows that the event was set for Friday, September 1st, but Friday of 2018 is on August 31st. I believe what you found is a link referring to an event they held in 2017, but they didn't remove that link until a month or two ago. Also, that cache has links to many overlapping events, but if you click on them, most of them also take you to a blank page as well, indicating it's also no longer a valid event. I think those links are also now invalid because PAX finally decided to delete their old links to 2017 events rather than there being a massive removal of 2018 events just a couple of months before their con starts.

Yet we can properly read a calendar...

I can confirm that many conventions I've worked with or attended don't update their event pages until just before the event.
Unless the con is really focused on online game reg, websites tend to be half assed even right before the event.

Yes, and that's a shame given it is the cheapest way to promote an event. I don't know how many times I skipped a show because it was never clear what was going to happen there until long after early bird pricing or after I already made other plans.

Quote from: baran_i_kanu;1053462Jeremy did a vid on this.
The SJW douche got fired from his job teaching game theory at a college.
Charges were filed and he's being sued. Apparently things are in motion but yoiu know how slow our system can be.
If you go to the Quartering channel on youtube he has his vid on it.

The Indianapolis warrant system has no charges on file for the alleged assailant, that I can find.

It's not uncommon to hold filing charges until more evidence is gathered. The DAs office tends to get pissy about that sort of thing, and it rolls down hill.

Well, that's hopeful at least.

Soooooo.... Hambly just put up a video on an e-mail he finally got from GenCon about the incident.  Their response?  He's banned until further notice from GenCon.

According to the e-mail, they are banning him and another account holder (he is assuming it's the guy who attacked him).  The reason for Hambly's ban is stated as "violated the convention's Ethics, Conduct and No Harassment policy for targeted online bullying of attendees."

Got a link?

Not doubting you, but this is horseshit and what I expected.

Right around the 7:15 mark is when he shows the e-mail.

I like the confidential notice at the bottom of it.  So did Hambly

It's all GenCon could do to avoid future liability. Banning Hambly and his attacker.

But I also believe it is a case of too little, too late. The attacker had attacked others in the past. He should have been removed a long time ago.

Hambly should have been banned in the first place, because of WOTC's ban of him from their events. The fact he was allowed to attend the convention in the first place was just begging for trouble.

Why does a WoTC ban carry over to GenCon?
