Discord

All attendees should join the ESA Discord chat server. Attendees should additionally link their ESA-profile to their Discord profile when prompted during the registration process. Both steps are mandatory for volunteers and runners as Discord will be the main tool for all forms of communication leading up to the event, including but not limited to DMs and group pings from organisers, volunteer team leaders, and the game selection team.
