If Anthony left in September (as I seem to remember) he would not be eligible to take the reigns of GENCON until September 2009. I suspect that he either did not sign a con-compete or GAMA let him out of it if he is aggressively pursuing this GENCON gig.

I’m glad to hear that. There have been some venomous comments in various corners of the vast echo chamber that is the internet, but knowing all the people involved and how well they generally get along with each other, I don’t doubt you’re right.

I believe you will find that Anthony, Peter, Adrian, and everyone else involved here are not upset or angry with each other, and that there are no hard feelings.

He certainly started before then, although whether or not he needed to re-up during that time, I can’t say.

As I wrote, I think Gen Con will survive no matter what happens. I’m going even if there’s nothing “official” happening. 🙂
