Ugh. Thank god that's over. Roleplaying tournaments are renowned for being tiring, but no one is more exhausted by the end of it than the organisers, who quite often curl up in a ball and go to bed for a week after the Con has finally finished.
Anyway, Capricon V was, in spite of some nerves in the weeks running up to it, a sucess. Approximately 70 people were around the convention site over the weekend, and while more would have been nice, there were easily enough people to make it fun for everyone.
Only one scenario, Gratitude to Unknown Instructors never made it to the convention. The remaining scenarios, the Magic tournaments and the freeform all ran for the whole weekend.

As you can see, we were sort of overwhelmed at the end of the Con, and forgot to write down some of the names of non-Monash winners.
