This sounds a bit like Sugoicon.

I staffed for them one year and the con head just probably had more temper tantrums than a spoiled child at Disneyland.

It was a massive linecon because they decided to cut costs on the badges by having them non-laminated, and reg had to get everyone's name (not just pre-reg people) to print labels from a machine that'd probably existed long enough to see the Nixon presidency. They then stuck the label onto the badge, slipped the badge into one of those folded plastic things, stapled it, and handed it to the attendee.

I worked the first night and it was utter hell- so many people reasonably getting pissed off. I overstayed my time because I had the process down to a science and could churn out those badges like a South Asian street vendor, but one of the other staff insisted I go because I was "overworking". The girl who replaced me took like 20 seconds to assemble each badge because she had to get everything perfectly aligned. I wanted to throw her out the window and take back my throne, but unfortunately defenestration is considered assault.

At some point earlier on, the network died so people were freaking out because I guess just handing attendees a sharpie to write their own names was too primitive a concept for them. Attendees up in front were starting to get antsy. Noticing the power icon on the laptop I was using changed to a battery, I crawled under the table, turned the fucking power strip back on, and WW3 was averted.

...no.

It makes me sad that so many people equate viking with nazi nowadays. Guess I'll have to keep my mouth shut about enjoying viking reenactment, then.
