Title: Maximum Prop Height?
Post by: Lunarae on March 01, 2005, 01:10:14 pm
I heard that most conventions limit props to 4 feet. I recall a number of Wolfwoods lugging around their crosses, and a fellow club member had a brillliant Sango boomerang, so I'm doubtful this is true for Kumoricon. However, thought I'd ask seeing as my Pluto time staff will be slightly over 5' tall.

There's no fixed rule on maximum size.  Just keep it reasonable, if you can't walk around without hitting people, we're going to make you take it back to your room.

Ronime, I think I might know who you are. You're from Eugene, and your girlfriend lugs around a Sango boomerang... if your girlfriend's name happens to be Kim, then I've heard of you.

Neko-chan, have no worries, 5'2" girls are cute ^_^ I'm not very tall either, so I'm gonna have to slap on some mad heeled boots to pull off Sailor Pluto.

Riiiiiight..... I don't think you're going to get away that easily.

BTW Neko, your glomp-tastic skills sound like they would be put to good use in my  *ahem* Pocky Delivery Service.

Title: Maximum Prop Height?
Post by: TomtheFanboy on March 13, 2005, 11:07:29 pm
<_<..........>_>
Well you see, Pocky delivery is a front.
It's kind of like having a candygram be a cover for something else.
Say you have a friend you want to cheer up, or get a present for, or just be nice to.

You buy their favorite Pocky, and then one of our specially selected cosplayers delivers it! They will (in character if propriety allows) track the person down and glomp them! Then they will hand over the pocky and wish them a nice day, being anonymous or telling who sent them.

There seems to be demand for such a service and the only environment it really works in is at a con. If I was going to Sakuracon I'd do a test run there but I'm waiting until July to actually organize my scheme. I'm going to be looking for delivery personnel and costumers, not to mention clientel.

I think I'm going to make little forms that will make sure that the person sending the glompogram isn't being mean to the recipient or sending our rep out to a person who hates being touched/is violent. I'll not have my Chiis coming back crying!

Ugh... I sound like a pimp!

based on what I expereniced, college japanese is focused on the speaking aspect rather then general study into japanese.   I tried taking japanese again in college after studying it in high school....

Lol, I tried translating that with Babelfish since I don't know how to read japanese characters, and this is what it gave me :roll: :

"Very, it is difficult, don't you think? is! ! The cat is lovely very, don't you think? is! ! Don't you think? it is the chair coming which is!"

Once again, Babelfish proves how bad it is at translating :P

Sometimes a human translator is all you need.  ^_^

By the way, as far as experience in Japanese; two years in high school, two years in college, and my (current) fifth year in Japan.  My Japanese classes over here are taught entirely in Japanese.  It took some getting used to.

Either way, I'll remember to post an english translation quickly whenever I type in japanese again.  Translating Japanese is more art then science so the same line could have many different intrepretations o_o.

Main problem I had from going from going High School Japanese to College Japanese was that in college, its more into focused into speaking the language.  Since I didn't do much of that in high school and somewhat poorly, it is a bit difficult for me to do.  But it didn't turn out that bad though.  I'm still thinking if I'll will Japanese again or not next term.

Whoops, my misinterpretation.   :oops:

I thought you were refering to Neko_Chan due to using Neko.

I think my high school and college have both focused on the reading and writting part of the language.  In college (US) we only had two large oral performances in a semester.
But over here, we've been having short memorized Oral Performances once or twice a week.

If I'm going to be running this whole thing I'm going to need a Japanese expert for my marketing department. Yet another thing to consider. Hmmmm...... I'll have to put out feelers for that position as well as delivery staff.
