Title: 2011 Cosplay Chess Rules & Sign-ups
Post by: Jamiche on June 19, 2011, 12:29:15 am
Hello again, boys & girls... check it out, earlier than last year!  Woo hoo ;D

Rules and registration forms for this year's Cosplay Chess can be found here: Rules (http://www.kumoricon.org/cosplay-chess-rules)  Registration Form (http://www.kumoricon.org/files/forms/2011/cosplay_chess_2011_registration.pdf)

We are looking for 32 pieces and a couple of chess masters.  You do not have to know how to play chess to be a piece (it is much appreciated if you are wanting to be a chess master, at least the basic moves, since they are controlling the game.)

This is an unscripted, just-for-fun game.  My preference is that every one gets to participate, so don't be expecting the best game of chess ever... just entertaining  ;)

This is Cosplay Chess, so you character cosplay will be the deciding factor in who gets to participate.  This is not a first-come, first-serve sign-up, so you don't have to worry about submitting your form right away... it is more important that your cosplay is complete, and preferably well-known characters.  This is a separate event from the Cosplay Contest, so you will not be judged on the quality of the cosplay, or whether you made it yourself - you just need to be a recognizable character.

To sign-up to be a chess piece, you need to do the following:


You must include photos of you in your cosplay, or of your cosplay itself (I can't reiterate this enough, guys... if you don't send pics, you don't get to play).  Images of your character will not suffice.  Since this is not first-come, first-serve, you have time to wait until your cosplay is complete... there is no penalty for being one of the last ones to register.  You are also allowed to submit more than one cosplay (just submit a separate form for each.)

Also... if your "piece" is more than one person (for example, the Warners from last year) please submit one form for each person, but indicate on your form that they are one "piece".  Due to space constraints on the board, I will limit the number of such pieces that will be accepted, and no more than 3 people to one "piece".

If you are interested in being a chess master, or want to help out in another way, please let us know by posting here or emailing chess@kumoricon.org.

Sign-ups will be open until August 24th.  Players will be notified of their team and position the week before con, and will be required to attend a pre-meeting before the event, which will be on Monday.  Please keep in mind.. the timing of the pre-meeting is usually during hotel checkout, so factor that in to your plans.

If you have any questions, please post here or PM me.

And once again, a plea.. Good vs Evil?  We've been so close... this could be the year! ;D

Yeah the lengthy time is nice, gives me plenty of time to decide between Victoria Seras and Haruhi Fujioka as a final costume. Either way I'm gonna enter =D

I don't know if I'm gonna do Chess this year. I feel like I kinda need a break, and if I go to Kcon at all, I'll be at my Artist Alley table most of the time.

Maybe I should sign up as an alturnate, or substitute chess master?

Yeah signing up as an alternate for either would be great. There are always last minute drops so it's great to have experienced alternates.

Keeping in mind that I'm looking at the draft schedule not the final one according to that players need to be at the Pre-Meet at 10:30 am Monday.

The game is Noon to 2:20pm

No, you won't have to wait that long.  Finalizing the con schedule has take priority, sorry about that.  I will be sending out confirmation emails this week, and will post here when I have done so.

I sooooo can't wait for this! I'm gonna be Moxxi and (hopefully) this will be my fifth year playing in cosplay chess. I really hope there's some evil characters out there so we can FINALLY have our Good vs. Evil match!!!!

Also, I was really hoping that the match wouldn't be on Monday again, since its always during the chaos that is hotel check out, and forcing people to chose weather they attend the match, or check out of their rooms on time. -.- Any idea as to if we're gonna be in the ballroom this year instead of a tiny room?

Thanks for all your patience, guys... things are getting crazy as we get closer to con :)

Okay, I have sent replies to all the emails I have received.  If you have not received a reply from me, I did not get your sign-up.  But, no worries... you still have time to submit.  Please remember, I need pics of your cosplays, in addition to your form.

To day, I have about 23 entries, so we definitely need more people.  (And c'mon, guys... where is your inner villian... most the of the entries are for good :()

You have until next week, so there is still plenty of time to get your forms in.

@jamiche: if you need more "bad" guys, i am willing to switch some of my "good" guys too! also! my bf wants to submit a form as well, but part of his costume JUST arrived! do you think i can give you pictures of the costume that i have right now in his form, and once the whole thing gets here, send you the rest of the pics? or do you want me to wait? HIS is a good guy/villian. so either works!
Title: Re: 2011 Cosplay Chess Rules & Sign-ups
Post by: Jamiche on August 15, 2011, 10:09:42 pm
More entries are good :)  If the the pieces are there, then send them in (it's way better than a pic of what you are buying).  As long as the coplay is complete Monday morning, it's fine.
Title: Re: 2011 Cosplay Chess Rules & Sign-ups
Post by: luvan1me on August 15, 2011, 10:40:58 pm
alrighty ^_^ and yes! the costumes are here, they are just at the post office lol i'll take pictures on wensday and send it his form ASAP!

I’m really debating sending in a form for this cosplay chess as Fai and Kurogane.  I mean I watched it last year and I’m not sure how I feel about the unscripted chess compared to the scripted ones.  To me when they are scripted they run a lot smoother and there isn’t so many ‘umm ahh I don’t know where to place my pieces’ moments.  It got boring at points last year as we waited for the masters to figure out where to go.

I’ve got a couple more days to think about it.  Anyways. 

These would be the costumes we would enter.

I promise to be punctual and quick in the beginning of the game. Cannot guarantee instant moves toward the middle and end...but I guess my moves will take at most 15-30 seconds.

Just make sure to have some playful banter during the thinking.  It makes it much more fun to wait if you have something to listen too rather then just silence.

relax a little, there generally isn't an instant turn around on these things, the peoples have lives and jobs that come before this. Give it a few days before worrying. As long as you let them know to pm you instead of emailing, that should work.

I got your email... will try and remember to change it in any emails, but I tend to post most stuff here so you won't miss out.

Sign-ups are closed.  I have sent confirmation emails to all entries I received, so if you didn't get one, I didn't get your form.  (There may have been a couple of mail-ins, but I still need to check the mail, so....)

Plan is to announce teams this weekend... but I'm going to ask for your patience, please.  Our last general meeting is this Saturday, and still have a bunch of stuff to do, but will get the team list up as soon as I can (which of course means it will most likely be up late, late Sunday night :D)

Thanks for all the entries, guys... we have a nice mix to choose from, so it's going to be a challenge.

OH! I have an idea. I enjoy the non scripted game but I also love how smoothly the battles in a scripted game go. I think it might be a good idea to do a group brain storm of possible attacks for each other and maybe (if people are there day 0) we can meet up and actuaolly practice so during the actual match we aren't like..... "uhhh,.......what do I do?"

It will be unplaned but we will have a list of others on the team so we can be like "if we go against each other we can do something like....." not fully planed out but just an idea. Like Hey lets do a funny battle, rather than havinging one try to be funny and one serious.

I just find that sometimes people who are supposed to die are upset that they didn't get a chance to actually attack so they do this elaborate attack that should "kill" someone then the person that is supposed to win is a little stumpted on how to follow up.

I will be there with you in spirit Jacob, I find it funny that your Sebastian from the previous day will now be the one controlling you. I use my queen the most, but that also means you are the safest from being lost. You will be attacking quite a bit though

Do we have announcers? The people that watch over the chess masters and then tell the pieces to move while also making funny commentary?

I hope so, It is hard to play chess, move everyone around, and make witty comments while still aiming to win.

Please, guys, enough of the chatting. We don't have time to deal with this and get ready for the con as well.

It's fine to talk about things that are directly related to Cosplay Chess. But pages of chat about subjects that are only vaguely related makes it hard for other people to talk about Cosplay Chess without feeling drowned out.

(For reference, because I don't want to give the wrong impression: This isn't in response to Taikei. It just happens to fall under Taikei's last post.)

helps!!! i know its late but on the off chance we get in my friend is signing up to be a piece and I am her special attack... Her being Summoner Yuna, and I being her Shiva Aeon. WE DON'T HAVE OUR BADGES! they never got sent we have worked it out and are picking them up at will call.....however this means we don't have our badge numbers. what do we do?
Title: Re: 2011 Cosplay Chess Rules & Sign-ups
Post by: nekovamp13 on August 31, 2011, 04:39:30 pm
The list is already up, so you should know if you got in or not. And if you haven't signed up already it is much too late. In the future, if you don't have your badge number at hand, just state that you're getting it at willcall or buying it.

Also, in the past the two Chess Masters have a list of the character names and what piece they are, and they are the only ones with mics. So they can say their witty comments, and they are also the ones who tell the pieces to move. Usually the best way to tell the person to move is to tell them how many spaces and in what direction...B/c most of the pieces probably don't know how to actually play chess.

This will probably be brought up during the practice beforehand, and if not, it should be mentioned or asked by someone.

Even though you didn't get in as pieces you still may have a chance of being an alternate. Contact the lady in charge and ask.

^ you guys just need to come every year to do commentary XD
I think it made it better since it's not easy for the Chess Masters to always think of witty banter, especially while thinking of moves.

Chess was good this year, the only thing I'd like to complain about was the fact that a lot of people were coming up during battles without being told they could. It was getting really out of control.
Title: Re: 2011 Cosplay Chess Rules & Sign-ups
Post by: luvan1me on September 06, 2011, 04:19:03 pm
i agree right there. i was the Aqua pawn.

One of my complaints is that IF YOU AREN'T REQUESTED FOR OUR BATTLE, DON'T COME ONTO THE BOARD! i'm talking to all you annoying, running girls! we were having a battle between terra, and Lelouch, and just what the hell was that?? we NEVER asked for them to get onto the board!  it was very rude, and we already had something else preplanned with Lelouch in case we went up against him! we understand you are "excited" to be in the cosplay chess, and/or upset that you didn't get picked as a main piece or attack, but I really don't like that these hordes of people just kept going around on the board thinking that they could come up whenever the heck they wanted! i understand for some battles they might've been called, but if you aren't asked to do it, then don't! it's just incredibly disrespectful!

Title: Re: 2011 Cosplay Chess Rules & Sign-ups
Post by: luvan1me on September 06, 2011, 04:24:41 pm
also the crowd kept going up on the stage, and that also irks me a lot.

and i think ima stick with Sakuracon's Cosplay chess. i like a lot more order. >.< OCD person here.

but it was fun i agree. just wish the music matched up with the right series or mood. cuz i was trying to be series with my battle, and yet the music was just... not the right mood. and they played "simple and clean" for some other totally random series AFTER our battle... 
Title: Re: 2011 Cosplay Chess Rules & Sign-ups
Post by: Taikei on September 06, 2011, 04:43:43 pm
Ah..well it is hard for them to predict music...when the chessmasters themselves barely know what going on or what will happen. It truly was the worst chess game I have ever played...but also the most hilarious.

Post by: dark4ever on September 06, 2011, 09:47:59 pm
The running was really annoying... when my sister and friend (Jack the Ripper) were fighting Lightening (I think?), Inuyasha had no business running up there. It ruined their one successful fight. I seriously would have hit someone if they'd run on while I was fighting...

Though, Aqua, I must say, your battle was probably my favorite :) Please tell your Terra that the two of you are absolutely amazing actors? Do you guys happen to have a youtube and/or a DA? And I loved your panel, by the way :3

We are reading and noting your comments and will address this and other feedback in order to make next years game better. A huge thanks to all who participated.
The game was very well attended and judging by their reaction they were entertained so that's a win.

Looking forward to helping with next years game,

Cheers!

Defiantly need to state some rules before the game starts. And possibly have some Yojimos around to watch the board.

@taikei: it was funny lol gotta love them puppets XDDDDD

@dark4ever: i have a DA and a youtube and so does he, i have the video from our panel up on there if you want it i'll send you a PM with the link, also nekovamp is also in our team (Gaara). if only you coulda been ventus T^T it woulda been so freaking awesome!

but thanks so much for the compliments >////< i'm not so great at acting, i just act like myself XD i mean i know Aqua would be pretty pissed if she saw any other girls near her Terra >3> although there are tons of dudes in that game lol

@neko: totally agree with that. and hopefully next year, security can be more tight around the board.

@ Luvan- I'd love some linkies :) Oh God, me as Venuts? xD I'm taller than you and about the same height as your Terra... that would have been hilarious xD Also, I seem to have a thing for creepy/bad ass/just plain bad guys. Honestly, when it comes to BBS, Vanitas is probably what I'd cosplay... if anything

That was GREAT xD You should've just pulled Rikku off behind the curtain or something and made fighting noises.

Really? I mean, the last two years were a little more organized, but some of the battles were terrible... and boring. At least the music added something to it
Title: Re: 2011 Cosplay Chess Rules & Sign-ups
Post by: luvan1me on September 08, 2011, 11:55:49 am
the music made it kinda just ... odd to me. if a battle is supposed to be serious then well what kind of music should you play?
Title: Re: 2011 Cosplay Chess Rules & Sign-ups
Post by: dark4ever on September 09, 2011, 03:57:08 pm
I feel like we should submit music, and if not, they should default to Final Fantasy or Zelda or Kingdom Hearts battle music. Something that's actually battle music :P
