My only Artemis complaint is that I slept through it. Hopefully next year’s schedule won’t be so compressed that I’m worn out at 11:00 pm and just rest my eyes for a second ….snrrrrk! Damn, it’s 1:30 am.
I wasn’t on JCCC4, but did watch “celebrity Artemis” for a short time on JCCC3. When I did, I discovered that I am no more a fan of spectator gaming than I am of spectator sports. I have more fun playing even an unskilled, bumbling game of football than watching a professional football game on TV; likewise, I’d rather be playing Artemis with a group of interesting non-famous geeks than watching “famous people” play it. (If there were a way to participate or interact, I’d be more interested.) So, after awhile I wandered off and went to bed. YMMV, of course.
Is Artemis setup in the game room? I’ve seen this at a lot of Cons. It would be a nice way to get to know fellow Seamonkeys.
Maybe this is heresy, but has anyone looked into Quintet? It looks like a simpler version of Artemis, might be easier to grok in a short period of time.
Yes, Quintet has been investigated, sadly not much, and the one time we tried it at my local group, we had setup issues (I’m sure it is simple enough to fix…but we just didn’t care enough to muddle through it).
I can’t give you direct feedback as I am only an Aspiring Sea Monkey. But I love Artemis, and it would be top on my list of things to do on JCCC5 should I manage to make up my mind to go in time to get a reasonably-priced room. I would both watch the celebrities play as well as playing myself at the designated times. I would also likely come equipped to run my own spontaneous mini-sessions (laptop for mainscreen/server, several old Galaxy s4s/tablets to loan out).
I expect the things you can potentially improve would be technical, including setup well in advance to work out bugs such as mainscreen viewability, sound levels, connectivity, etc. I also like the suggestion to have the least drunk/most experienced group go first as a demo for those who follow. The amount of training you describe sounds right, while people need to be oriented, they are also on a semi-vacation and we want them to have a good time, too.
