Before the event:
-
When invited to participate,
smugly tell the autocrat you are philosophically opposed to the event’s concept
-
Take on a role, then forget all
about it
-
Avoid event planning meetings “because
you’re too busy”
-
Ignore event
announcements/website. Instead, call the autocrat late at night and ask stupid
questions.
During the event:
-
Forget to bring what you
promised, arrive late, then deny you were ever asked
-
On arrival, criticize the site’s
attributes and say you know a far better venue. Even though you were silent
during site discussions.
-
Insist the directions to the
site are “wrong” even though no one else had a problem.
-
Demand free admittance “because
I’m helping/I’m a single parent/I don’t have any money on me”, even though the
autocrat paid full site fee.
-
Block registers and heaters
with your bags, then complain that the site is too cold.
-
Interrupt the autocrat and ask
if they are having “fun”
-
Offer “helpful suggestions” to
improve their next event. Tell the autocrat you can do it better.
-
Question the autocrat’s motives
for running the event – to their face
-
If you’re working troll, leave
your table unattended. Ignore the autocrat’s instructions. Forget about the
NMS. Make up your own fees. Mishandle change. Steal.
-
Complain about the food and its
cost. If the food is on time, say it’s too fast/too much. If the food is a bit
delayed, make faces at your fellow guests and tell off your server. Never help
serve. Leave your food scraps on the table.
After the event:
-
Forget your promise to help
with take-down/clean-up, as you rush out to the post-rev. Or, stand around
chatting and watch the autocrat cleaning on their hands and knees.
-
If you lost in a competition,
blame the autocrat
-
Be difficult about turning in
receipts or filing your own reports. If given a deadline, ignore the autocrat’s
instructions, dump the material on a handy bystander and then claim innocence
when the report goes in late.
