Well my 1st thought would be for you to predesign your
PC for convention games and give them like 20 points
to customize the PC.

The other thing is if these are know assocites who
have a bad rep, then the guy hangout with them will
get 1 too...  maybe not to so extreme, but...  still
they are who they are known to hang with
