[Penguicon-Concom] Whuffie reward values

[Matt Arnold]

I've had conversations with some of you which I didn't get on a
written record. Help me firm up our Whuffie menu so we can print it in
the nonschedule book.

One Whuffie = 1 hour of Volunteerism work during the convention
weekend. (Loading and unloading the moving truck, and any work done
setting up beforehand and breaking down afterward earns 1.5 Whuffie
per hour.) Each concom person who needs volunteers gets an amount of
Whuffie currency to distribute, according to the volunteerism hours
they expect to need filled. It is against the rules for concom to
spend it themselves, give it to non-volunteers, or use it for any
other non-intended purpose. But they can give bonuses for those who do
an awesome job.

Program Participants who participate in at least two timeslots' worth
of events receive 1 Whuffie for each timeslot.

------------ Sunk costs ------------
- Redeem 1 Whuffie to Tracy Worcester, Anna Petrak, or the convention
Operations desk, per night of crash space, at the time of access to a
hotel room shared among volunteers. There is one room for men and one
room for women. Bring your own sleeping bag.
- Redeem 1 Whuffie to Jer Lance on Saturday or Sunday morning to jump
to the head of the line for free pancakes and eggs.
- Redeem 1 Whuffie with Chuck Child for a plate of Brazilian Beef
during a scheduled serving on Saturday afternoon. No reimbursements;
if you already registered for it, this is redeemed to be served
seconds.
- Redeem 1 Whuffie with MythLogic for 1 hour of play on one of their
LAN party rental stations. (Mythlogic has agreed not to charge
Penguicon for this.)
- Redeem 1 Whuffie with Molly De Blanc for a badge ribbon reading "Whuffie"

------------ Costs coming out of Penguicon funds ------------
- Redeem 2 Whuffie with Jessica Zerwas on Sunday for reimbursement of
your 2008 LAN party weekend-admission wristband. (A $10 value)
- Redeem 3 Whuffie in the dealer room for a Penguicon 2008 t-shirt.
(Approximately $12 value)
- Redeem 3 Whuffie to Aaron Thul on Sunday for a free weekend seat at
Penguicon's MPCon LAN party 2009. This is the first opportunity to get
on the list, to guarantee your seat. (Approximately $10 value)
- Redeem 4 Whuffie with Aaron Thul on Sunday for a free registration
to Penguicon 2009. (Approximately $25 value at this time of year)
- Redeem 5 Whuffie with Jessica Zerwas on Sunday for reimbursement of
your 2008 convention badge, if the convention broke even.
(Approximately $25 to $45 value at this time of year)

Any alterations or additional suggestions I've forgotten?
