As part of the celebration of the first FidoCon, during the event we'll award one attendee a $50 gift certificate to use at Amazon.com. Attendance at the event will be mandatory to be eligible for the award!

So where do you register for this drawing? Will there be a special area at FidoCon?

We'll probably use the +str (Staff Request) system in-game. Instructions will be posted on the FidoCon website before the event.

Don't forget to register for this highly-anticipated event!

The official, no-longer-temporary FidoCon website can now be found at

Many thanks to Bahamut for his web design expertise!

We're still looking for people who want to promote their games at FidoCon - especially on Sunday, which is working out to be the MU* promotional day. Basically, you're invited to come to the con and pitch your game and its features for as long as you like during the event. On Sunday, events will run from about noon to 8 p.m. EST.

Hope lots of people can make it to FidoCon this weekend! I'm looking forward to it myself.

See you there!

The first FidoCon is over, and Zarquon over at Battlestar Pacifica MUSH won the $50 Amazon.com gift certificate!

I want to take a quick moment to thank everybody who turned out, especially Siobhan from OGR and the gang from FiranMUX, and I'm also grateful for the efforts of Joker @ OtherSpace, who helped do a lot of pre-convention promotions and built the convention hall spaces, Khan @ OtherSpace, who designed the Fido logos, and Bahamut @ Chiaroscuro, who built the FidoCon web page -

On Saturday, we'll announce the winners of the first Fido Awards.

And in March 2007, we'll host the second FidoCon at Necromundus. Hope to see everyone there!

I've received a few notes from people trying to access the FidoCon logs and complaining about slow access for jointhesaga.com/fidocon.

The reason: We're in the midst of a server upgrade this afternoon. It should clear up tonight!

The JTS site - and our FidoCon page - are back up and running. Thanks for your patience!
