The biggest problem with these staffers is that they aren't even close to being committed to helping the con, let alone keep a very strong communication link between each other. I bet a lot of these people think it's just like a local con like ALA, MikomiCon, or PMX, and later on they don't realize that AX is a completely different ballgame (hence why I will never staff for AX even before this year). With all that, communication becomes a clusterfuck because it ends up with very inconsistent information or uninformed people who doesn't know how to handle these situations (i.e. they tell you something but another staffer said it's wrong and vice versa). Of course, this confuses everyone a lot.
In terms of the Masquerade, if there are empty seats, they can still come in unless those seats were specifically reserved; they just to behave, assuming the policies in the Masquerade. I remember people coming in to AX 07's Masquerade without ticket, but they got the very far seats.
05, 07, and 09 were the years I went. Sadly, I must have came in the wrong years or I see a cycle of good -> bad -> good -> bad wave cycle.
The DS was broken; we actually were at fault for some of the designs for using way too thin foam. If we remake some of the sides, we can easily transform it to a DSi and add electronic cameras on it so we can actually walk with it while recording footage at the same time interactively. :)
