WPC: General questions

[gallisel]

1) will the LM member wear badges with their nicks? It would be nice to put faces next to names, particularly when certain puzzle authors have given me long nights of very pleasurable puzzle solving in the last 11 years on the portal

All participants, guests and "staff" will ware the same Kind of Name tag. It will Show the Name, not the nick Name. But please go ahead and ask people for their nicks :-) Communication is much nicer then just looking at badges 

it is not forbidden to write the nick by hand, I hope

Of course not

Regarding notation, if two different notations are globally used, one is complete but the other is not, is it valid or not?
For example, in dissection puzzle, what if dissection is complete but connecting lines miss a segment?

If one notation is complete and correct, the solution is considered valid, regardless of anything else.

I have to amend my last statement: If one notation describes the correct solution and there are other incomplete notations, then the solution will be accepted. However. if there are two (or more) complete notations that describe different solutions, then the puzzle will be marked as incorrect.
