Your tasks during the entire game

There is a lot of information on this platform: don't get "killed by information": so do you do first? Do the tasks underneath on this page step by step. You can click on any blue link for more information on any page. Don't start doing so immediately, you might get lost ;-). Good luck!

The reception of Emerald Forest Hotel

Participating in the game means doing the next tasks:

• tasks to be done before the game week starts (underneath)
• tasks to be done during the game week, starting the 6th of October to be found in 08LV Tasks and decisions, day by day.
  
  

Your tasks before the game week starts, so before 6th of October

You will receive information from your coaches on:
> your teamnumber, the city your team is operating in and your teammembers
> your team's username and password for this platform with which you can edit your teampage
> the secret link to your teamsheet where you make your decisions and can see your results. This section is private to each team.
With this information you can already start meeting with your team, dividing the tasks, checking out this platform etc. Make sure you have your team well organised and the tasks well divided.

During week 40 (so before the the game week, week 41) these next tasks must have been finished.

---

• Task 1: Meet with your teammembers
  

Plan meetings with your team in the weeks before the game week, to make preparations and plans for who is going to do what before this game week and during week 41. In this game week (week 41) all team members must be available all of the time. It is going to be busy but a very interesting week! Beware that the game week is from Monday the 06th October until the end of the day on Friday the 10th of October. So before the game week have your team organized.

• Task 2: Study E-manual
  

Study the E-manual: here you will find what you need to read before taking any action. Look around a bit in this platform, so that you get a grip on what to find here and how it works. After this, you can use the Sandbox to practice. If you want more visualization, you can check the video help first section to get an impression on how to use the platform, especially the page the Guided tour through the platform.

Go to the top right-hand side of this page screen at "My Preferences" scroll a bit down until you see E-mail, E-mail options. Change this e-mail address in a real e-mail address of one of your teammembers use the save button at the bottom. This e-mail might comes handy in some cases. Do not change the password or anything else in this section
- Help on this: Help:Guided tour through the platform | Help:Help on first login | Help:How to find information and help

All teammembers can login using the same username: multiple users at the same time with the same login name is no problem. To just read the content of this platform you don't need to login at all, by the way (only if you want to edit). There is much information on how to do things in Help:contents or on the special pages in Category:Hotel info. You can search with the buttons top-righthand corner: with GO for a special page on the searched for item, or with button Search which will show all pages where this search item is mentioned. No answer found? Ask your coach or use the Shoutbox which is monitored by the coaches.
So before the gameweek all must have studied the E-manual.

• Task 3: First actions
  

After reading, discuss your strategic plans with regard to the hotel and come to a conclusion. First have a look at the example page: page 08LV Example teampage. Then start filling out your own teampage: this has to be ready entirely on Monday the 6th at 16.00. Have a look at your private teamsheet using your private link and fill out your chosen hotelname there!
So before the gameweek teampage ready and name filled out in your teamsheet.

• Task 4: Prepare Trade Fair
  

In the game week, your hotel will be presenting itself at a Trade Fair on Thursday. So, before this week think this over and prepare for the Trade Fair: check this page for more information. This is an important meeting, one which will influence your success in the game. This offers you the opportunity to present your (new ideas on the) hotel. Be creative, and have a look at the pictures of Trade Fairs from competitions. All team members must participate in the Trade Fair.
To make your appearance at the Trade Fair as useful as possible, your preparations on your teampage must be ready as far as possible (new logo, slogan, introduction of new management). So start thinking about this before the gameweek when things get hectic.
