the insiders know not to look for it

Which is a reason not to do it a WorldCon, because just how many people who aren't regulars are there? Especially for people who aren't native English speakers and unfamiliar with all the media to get that the names are for fictional characters, the locations reference English-language puns, etc?

not maliciously done by any means

Seriously, whether the intent was malicious or not doesn't matter here. That people were lost and struggled to find a place that didn't exist does. That they were told that their complaint about the fake track meant they had no sense of humor by the con chair does.

I might go to a WorldCon, but I have serious doubts that I want to go to a ChiCon.
