On Saturday I helped out for a few hours at the D&D for MMP fundraiser<\/a>, in which some very game folks embarked on a 24-hour D&D marathon to fundraise for the Campaign for MMP<\/a>.<\/p>\n

MMP, for those outside of NZ, is our current proportional electoral system, which is coming under the eye of a national referendum. I think it’s likely to romp comfortably home, but complacency is not a good idea when there are some well-funded opposing forces with an interest in decreasing the fairness of our democracy.<\/p>\n

My role was to sit down with my friend Ben and run the social media for 4 hours, 4pm to 8pm – a live update stream<\/a>, Twitter<\/a>, Facebook<\/a>, and the blog<\/a>. We had a good ol’ time, and reviewing the 24 hours it is clear our stint was, er, the least reverent.<\/p>\n

(I can’t access the livestream right now to find it but I recall being particularly pleased by a comment speculating that the monstrous Owlbear<\/a> was created after an owl and a bear sat down for a cup of tea in Epsom.)<\/p>\n

The event raised about $2000 which is very nice for a grassroots campaign to have. It also seemed to get some nice profile-raising media out of the event – hopefully that translates into a few more dollars and votes.<\/p>\n

It was a fun time, and nice to contribute to the bigger picture for a change, something that’s been very hard to do while having adventures in nappyland.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
