Capclave/WSFA's already had its version of the HRMP Wars, which is why there is Capclave and not Disclave. I don't think Capclave is headed for disaster at all - it is what it is, and if the people running it and going to it are happy with it, fine. It just doesn't look like my kind of con.

OMG, the Nationals. :(

This may sound like a truism, but as far as cons go, you need to do less of the annoying stuff and more of the stuff that's fun for you, which sounds like more programming and fewer parties.
