Does my second room also need to be ditched, or is that getting transferred?

I think transferred. Cheese and Pie's rooms (a double and king Two kings) were to be dropped instead, presumably one of those two would be the person you transfer the room to.

Wait what? Was I supposed to keep my reservation or no? I got the impression I was supposed to keep it.

You keep, pie drop as he only had a king

That is the finalized room list, Caffeine, HeK, TOH, TronPaul, Atom, EvilCheese are the room holders

Hold on a sec. Here's my understanding: Atom currently has two rooms; the panorama suite and a double. Cheese originally reserved a king. We decided that a double is preferable to a king, so Cheese' room would be dropped and atom's double would be kept. Cheese has been moved to that double which gives the impression in that document that he has the reservation (Cheese' original room was deleted from the document and occupied column "L"; this was before we used color-coding to note dead rooms). If I am mistaken, and atom does not have a second double as discussed, then it's good that Cheese held onto his king. If I am correct and atom can confirm this, then cheese should dump his king ASAP to avoid the charge.
From what I remember, I think Eightball is correct. I went ahead and cancelled. I didn't see any charges yet on my account but the cancellation confirmation email did say that I had to cancel before 4/1 to avoid paying the deposit, so it looks like I'll still get stuck with that.

Yeah, I'd booked a room last year and I still got stuck paying the deposit. I even disputed it with my credit card and they fought it.

Well fuck, I read everything as you being the 'custodian' of Atom's other room rather than having a separate one. We still have the right number of rooms so we're good, hit me up on steam if that deposit comes through and its an issue
I didn't bother risking losing the reservation by transferring it, so they're both still in my name.

You'll probably be able to catch the back bit of the meeting, also there will be one more before the con
Still no word on badge shipping, even though April 1st has passed. No changes reflected on my order page yet (though this was the case in previous years as well).
Gotta love getting email updates when they post to their RSS feed. Individuals and groups of 3 or less shipped on the 7th, according to this post. Groups of 4+ will be shipped later, apparently.

Posting a picture to make a point is cute, but nuke that name, QR code, and badge number, son, before the ACEN mafia come for you.
It really says something when the welcome letter stresses bringing soap. Why are con people so dirty
Got it; I was looking at the registration section of their forum, which hasn't had a new post in months.

It's mentioned every year, but people continue to ignore it. It's tempting to call out...

Good point, edited
The soap thing is both an injoke for that con and a jab at the fact that yeah nerds don't pay as close attention to personal hygiene as they should, especially at cons.
