Committees | Het Duivelsei

Laatst edited On 12-11-2023

Het Duivelsei has a ton of diverse committees which are responsible for organising a large array of activities within the association, from Asia Parties to Humans versus Zombies. What follows is a list of all committees that are currently active, with a short description for each. For more information, or if you have an idea for a cool new activity not yet covered below, feel free to send a mail to bestuur@duivelsei or one of the e-mail addresses below.

Warning! In order to prevent spam, we have not fully displayed the e-mail addresses on this website. The suffix .nl is required for each of the e-mail address below.

Accie

The Accie is perhaps the most diverse committee of Het Duivelsei. We organize all kinds of activities which are not necessarily boardgame-related, but still really fun! For example, we organize visits to the Efteling, holiday activities like Sinterklaas and Halloween, but also more seemingly random activities like glow golf, bouldering and iron beads workshops. The Accie is always looking for enthousiastic people and crazy ideas, so if you have an awesome activity in mind, let us know!

Almanakcie

The Almanakcie is a committee that puts out an annual overview of the association in the form of an almanac. We create a chumbook of members, an annual report full of cool pictures, statistics, fun pages and much more! In addition, each yearbook has a theme, such as “Space” or “Sorcery”. The almanac comes out in mid-June and can be pre-ordered in advance! Fun quotes are also always welcome and can be sent to our email address.

Animecie

The AnimeCie is a commission that organizes activities which you could also find at Animecon. Examples are DDR, move nights and karaoke, bub also getting to know traditional activities from Southeast Asia. Bedsides this we also organize the Pokémon event with other commissions. Furthermore, we are always looking for fun, new ideas for activities, so let us know if you have any!

Apocalypcie

The Apocalypcie is the evil mastermind behind Humans versus Zombies, the biannual game of tag (with Nerf guns for good measure) throughout all of Leiden. The committee takes care of the bandana’s, exciting objectives, and keeps the forum up to date during the event. Keep an eye on the Duivelsei website, forum, and Facebook page to be notified when the next game will be. You can also send an e-mail to our e-mail address to sign up for the next round! (The committee is not liable for any actual zombie bites before, during, and after the event.)

Consolecie

Smash! Mario Kart! Jackbox! Just Dance! Splatoon! And many more. As the name implies, the Consolecie occupies itself with games on consoles. We organize tournaments, special theme evenings and entire events at Duivelsei dedicated to these games. These can be the most hardcore single player games in (recent) history, or the funniest party-themed ones to have a nice drink to and chill with your fellow players. Imagine, on the couch, exerting loud vocal threats to your (former) companion who now threatens to steal one of your stars in Mario Party. What a mood.

Creatcie

The Creatcie is a fusion of two older committees, and as a result has two important functions. Firstly, we work at the house style of Het Duivelsei, including the website, flyers, mails and many other things. Secondly, we create posters for activities as well as other jobs other committees have for us. So, if you have a good idea, please let us now!

EL-CIDcie

Every year, Leiden University organises the EL CID for to-be first year students. Het Duivelsei is not passing on this chance to recruit new members! Duivelsei’s own EL CIDcie is responsible for an all-week packed program at our clubhouse, making the LEF awesome and spreading the word and whereabouts of Het Duivelsei to every single person participating in the EL CID. The committee cannot do this all by herself, and is assisted by a promotion team of dedicated member.

E-sportcie

In 2021, Het Duivelsei joined the world of E-sports! We manage the teams we have for different games and keep track of tournaments in this country, participate in them and also organise tournaments within Het Duivelsei.

Feescie

The Feescie (Party Committee) is responsible for organising the Duivelsei winter gala each year. The Committee headed by one experienced member with multiple first year members, to teach them the ins and outs of running a Committee. We spend most of our time having fun doing arts and crafts for the decorations at the gala.

Fotocie

We’re the photography committee of Het Duivelsei! If you have any photos you want to see on our website, please mail them to us. You can also ask us to come to an activity at Duivelsei and makes photos for you!

Lustrumcie

Het Duivelsei turns 30 this year, and we’re gonna have a grand celebration! The Lustrumcie organizes activities throughout the year to celebrate this milestone, sometimes in co-operation with other committees, sometimes just by ourselves. Ideas for such activities are of course always welcome, and we’re also open to throwing money at other committees, if they want to organize a fun Lustrumactivity! Oh and of course we organize the DIES-week this year, where we celebrate the birthday itself (and the one and a half week around it), and we’re organizing a gamemidweek (a gameweekend as you’re used to from the Weekendcie, but now in a midweek!) where we’ll go to Belgium!

Intoxicaatcie

The Intoxicaatcie is the committee often hosting several activities such as pubquizzes and other events, open to everyone!

LANcie

The LANcie is there for all PC gamers. Besides hosting various online game sessions on the Discord server, they also organize LAN-parties! Think about games such as long RTS or 4X games on a LAN, or just a few small MOBA rounds in the evening. Do you want more information, or do you have a suggestion for a specific game that you would like to see on an (online) activity? Please send us an email!

Magiccie

The Magiccie is the place to be for all Magic related business! Magic the
Gathering is a very popular card game, played by people all around the world, so of course Het Duivelsei did not stay behind. The Magiccie is responsible for organizing all kinds of fun events, such as drafts and tournaments, at least once a month. There also is an ongoing yearly EDH competition, in which you can accomplish several achievements. The members of the committee are always ready for a game of EDH or any other format, or just for a nice chat about Magic (or another topic, if you like). Are you unfamiliar with the game, or do you have any other questions? Do not hesitate to send us an email or approach us during one of our activities!

Nomcie

Games are fun, but they are even more fun with cookies, cakes or other baked goods! Since 2012 the Nomcie has been baking all the delicious stuff on game nights. Moreover, the Nomcie organises baking and cooking competitions, potlucks and other food related events. Feel like helping us bake sometime, but don’t want to join the commission? Email us and register as an assistant baker!

Redactie

You can’t have a proper student association without your own magazine. The Redactie publishes its own magazine, Spelduivel, three times a year, filled to the brim with board and video game news, interviews, pictures and all sorts of other good stuff, in Dutch and English. We are eagerly looking for new writers and lay-outers, or maybe a guest writer if you want a little taste.

RPGcie

A RPG is a game in which the Game Master forges a story, in which your character has to figure its way out. During the game you and the other players make choices that influence the situation, depending on GMs instructions. Don’t worry if you have never played a RPG before! We would be happy to explain it to you! This committee organizes RPG sessions on some game nights and game days. We also organize the Ei Con; a weekend full of RPGs at Het Duivelsei.

Weekendcie

The Weekendcie is responsible for organising two gameweekends during the year. The first-year-weekend after the EL CID is to allow our new members to get to know each other and to become familiar with Het Duivelsei, and the second weekend is just a lot of fun! For three days we will go to a remote location to play games, games and more games. Besides the regular games Het Duivelsei has to offer, there is a pub quiz and a night game during the weekend and many fun activities organised by other committees. Are you interested in this fun committee or do you just have a question? Mail us!

Wolfcie

The Wolfcie hosts online games of The Werewolves of Miller’s Hollow on a monthly basis. These games are real-time, this means there will be a lynch and kill-period every day. The sessions vary in game-type and included rolls. Whether you are interested in delicious civilians or the mysterious occurrences in this little village: Miller’s hollow (Wakkerdam) is the place to be. Come and enjoy the treachery, bloodlust and twisted political schemes! Check the weekly- and monthly e-mails to sign in.
Note: Usually, the games are played in Dutch. However we could have a English round if the demand is high.

Advisory bodies

Formaatcie

The Formaatcie is composed halfway through the year and helps with the forming of the next board. They hold solliciations and put together a candidate board to present to the general meeting.
Questions? Send an e-mail to formaatcie@duivelsei, or to bestuur@duivelsei if there is no Formaatcie yet.

The Formaatcie is the committee tasked with the forming of the board. Halfway through every year, all members can sign up to become new board members. The Formaatcie will then interview these people and then constitute a candidate board. This candidate board will be presented on the election GMA, where a vote will take place whether this candidate board may become the new board. If the vote passes, the Formaatcie is done and will be disbanded, but otherwise the Formaatcie must again try to constitute a new board.

The Formaatcie will be formed halfway through the year at the aptly called half-year GMA. Anyone may sign up to become Formaatcie, granted that they are voted in.

Kasco

The Kasco generraly consists of ex-treasures and oversees the work of the current treasurer of the board. They work behind the scenes and make sure the association is financially healthy. The only thing they check for, is whether the treasurer is truthful when saying what happens with money. They do not give any advice on whether or not to make a particular expense, but do keep an eye on whether the association is financially sound. In most cases, the Kasco consists of former treasurers.

Senaat

The senate is an advisory body, consisting in principal only of former board members. They check what the current board is doing and give advice based on the experience they gained when they were board members themselves. For example, they will read the minutes taken at the weekly board meetings and respond to them. They can also explain how things went in their year and whether that was a positive or negative experience. If the board doesn’t do their job properly, they’ll also notice and be able to warn the board. In the end, they are only an advisory body and can’t take any action themselves, other than to provide advice. Lastly, if you have problems with the board or a specific board member, you can contact the senate for help.

Workgroups

Construcie

The Construcie is a work group that works on the maintenance and improvements of our building. We do repairs, renovation and we make sure the association’s inventory remains in good shape for this. We work to insure that everything on location is working as well as possible, in order for everyone to be able to effortlessly enjoy activities.

ICTcie

The ICTcie is a workgroup of Het Duivelsei, responsible for anything related to ICT. For example the hosting of our website duivelsei.nl, or managing the emails ending in @duivlsei (punt) nl, such as the committee mails or the mails for board members. Additionally, we are also the first helpline for the board if they have any questions regarding ICT. For this, we require people with diverse computer skills. If you have expertise in this field that can help the association, feel free to send an email.
