I was sad to see no forum meet-up panel this year. =(
Is there someone out there planning one for next year? Cause I would definitely go to it. ^_^
-
Well, I'm going to be signing up for staff again so I suppose that I could put in paperwork for a forum panel again.
It's not like those things are very hard.
Really surprise none of you stepped up to take my place in 2011.
-
I think it was one of those things everyone just assumed it was happening. XD
-
I think it was one of those things everyone just assumed it was happening. XD
Yeah, like the reg desk in 2006. ::)
-

Yeah, like the reg desk in 2006. ::)
LOL. That was my first K-Con. My only memory from it was standing in line for at least 3 hours.
And yes, please put in the paperwork Tom, I'm sure it would be much appreciated (☞ﾟヮﾟ)☞
-
I think that this year I'm going to try and have the forum meet up panel in the morning on Monday. Like a cool recap before Cosplay Chess.
-
I'm glad to see that you're probably going to be doing it this year, Tom. I was thinking about filling out the paperwork myself if it looked like you weren't going to do it again.
-
It would be awesome to have a meet and greet for people in the forums to meet at the con. Not exactly a panel, but we can have a scheduled time and room where everyone gets a name tag or something. We can hang around, maybe have an activity or something?
Has this been done already?
Just a thought.
-
WE COULD PLAY THE WOLF GAME :O
But yeah, that sounds like a good idea :D
-
Haha, yeah, exactly. This would be excellent.
-
I think that would be awesome
-
The more people that show interest in a panel, the more likely it is that Programming will greenlight it, so I've merged the unofficial thread into the semi-official thread. I'm sneaky like that. ;)
More seriously, I think there's a really good chance that it'll be okayed... and Tom, let me know if there's any way I can help?
-
WE COULD PLAY THE WOLF GAME :O
...the what?
-
WE COULD PLAY THE WOLF GAME :O
...the what?
The wolf game some of us have been participating in in the forums :) You should check it out, there are still two slots left.
-
>.> I could bring my apples to apples....if people really want to have something to do at the panel. :D
-
OMG! I LOVE APPLES TO APPLES!!
-
YES APPLES TO APPLES :O
-
:P
-
I just bought a copy of that game recently.
I have a similar game called Bubbletalk . . dang near exact same as Apples to Apples, except you have a single caption and everyone has a set of 7 caption cards to pick from and give to the judge.
Both of these games + sick, twisted minds = hilarity.
-
Bring it! We could play both!
-
Scattergories would be fun too. Especially watching people jump when the time is up.
-
We should totally all get together and play before the panel lol
-
I'm not trying to be a downer, but I 'd prefer not to pay board games at the con. I personally love Apples to Apples, Scattergories, etc., but I can do that at home. I would prefer to do something different at a meet-up, especially since I'll only be seeing everyone in one place for half an hour or so. I'd rather do something more unique, if you catch my drift.
I think playing werewolves would be fun.
I also think maybe we can do some kind of voting contest or something:
Most random.
Most likely to glomp.
Most likely to break out in a dance.
Biggest troll.
Best Avatar, whatever.
Maybe we can vote ahead of time and announce winners at the meet-up. They can get a certificate or whatever (staff has enough to worry about, so I'm not suggesting actual prizes or anything). Or vote there.
I would also be down to just hang out and take pictures.
Meh, just a suggestion. Even if there were board games at a meet-up, I wouldn't sit out.
-
No, I kinda agree and think that's a good idea. We can still play Apples to Apples and what not at con, it doesn't have to be during our panel.
-
Hmm. I actually TRIED sitting down to play apples to apples at con this year. It did not go well, not even on day 0. Everyone was too busy rushing off to panels or volunteering or photoshoots, or to change for photoshoots, or to go eat. In the end we just gave up and left the game box in the trunk for the rest of the con. Ah, well. Maybe after hours when there's nothing going on but we're all too wired to sleep....(if there is such a time anymore).
I won't withdraw my offer to bring it to the panel if people still think they'd want to play it, though.
-
WE COULD PLAY THE WOLF GAME :O
...the what?
The wolf game some of us have been participating in in the forums :) You should check it out, there are still two slots left.
You mean the werewolf game? Yeah, I kinda looked at it; I'll pass. Thanks for the invite, though.
>.> I could bring my apples to apples....if people really want to have something to do at the panel. :D
That's a possibility, but it'd probably be more likely that it'd be better to play it after the meet-up. There's usually lots of stuff going on as it is.
-
Id play it no matter when we do it lol i just love playing it
-
It would be nice to have something to do though. Just sitting around and chatting could be somewhat awkward and boring... plus we could do that here.
Werewolf game would be fun, but how would we pull it off? I'm kind of thinking maybe if we do make it a panel if it is big enough maybe do it like the slightly anime dating game and put on a show. Then when writing people's names down hopefully the crowd would drown out the noise of the pen/pencil and we could have screens to block each other from seeing.
-
Well, in the past, there's been various games that were played during the panel, too. It wasn't just a talking panel (though it pretty much was in '10). There'd be things to do, too.
-
If it is well organized, then hopefully there will be games plus some chat time.
The werewolf game would be fun to play at this panel. Since it is quite popular on the forums.....
I also think maybe we can do some kind of voting contest or something:
Most random.

I love this idea!
-
id like a forum meet- up pannel,
hmm maybe people will actually remember who i am if and when i attend?
-
I love this idea :D I would like to know the faces behind the avatars other than the 5-7 people I know
-

I'll remember you, nando! (mostly because you're on my facebook and randomly text me at least once every 3 days. :P)
-
I was just thinking, if we dont want to spend the whole time playing board games, why dont we do a few improvination games. Like, maybe the movie star game and the question conversation game (which is being played now in the off topic thread, come play with us!) and then we can do a few weird games like guess my favorite shape or something. What do you guys think? Also, i think we should appoint a few panel leaders. Maybe five or six. And we can each have a job to do and bring to the panel.
-
We should nominate who we want for panel leaders. ^^
-
We should! I vote for myself. And chromo
-
I as well vote for Tala and myself. And also TomtheFanboy since hopefully he'll make this panel happen!~ ^_^
-
Oh! Yea me too! Tomthefanboy ish hawt teehee
-
I had another idea for the panel! We could do ask the admin. But with the panel leaders instead of admins. The auidence can ask us any question and we answer them. Since the whole point of the panel is to get to know the person behind the avatar, we should focus on games that help introduce everyone to eachother on a different level than we already know eachother on the forums.
-
Well, Tom is usually the one that leads it. I think that if he doesn't, then we figure out who wants to. Whoever that is, they should be the one to fill out the paperwork.
-
Just having one person to lead it is stressful and boring though. Then they have to do everything, and everyone depends on them. Having like five or six people, or three in this case lol, would help spread around the work.
-
That can be true, but Tom usually does well. Plus, he usually asked at least one other person to help him out, often times it was Mustash.
-
From what ive seen, they havent been on the forums for a while. I think itd be better to choose people who are on the forums all the time. That way we all know each other and arent just listening to tom and his friend. Thats why i like the idea of panel leaders that the people here decide on.
-
I think we should also have one of the admins on the panel staff, just so we get a little more variety. Really well-known members are a must, too. How about you, Washougal_Otaku? I've seen you around here quite a bit, after all.
-
If an admin wants too, theyre welcome. Id love to have bresslol join us. Hes so much fun
-
I vote randompvg so we can finally get him in the werewolf game :P
so question... would this panel be intended for anyone to come? or just forum members? Would we be entertaining the other con-goers like guests?
-
I think anyone can go. I know some people showed up at 2010 who didn't have forum accounts...yet......
I say that TomtheFanboy should lead since he did create it and he made it happen in 2010.
As for helpers, maybe people who are well experienced on the forums. Moderators, etc.
-
...Id love to have bresslol join us. Hes so much fun
Bresslol and/or Tom would be great, if they have the time. Having more than one person running it does seem like a great idea, though.
If whoever takes charge wants help with paperwork or setup, let me know. :)
-

Anyone can attend the panel. The main element (at least that I recall) that matter in terms of forum membership include introducing yourself and meeting people face to face. I've seen many attendees there that weren't on the forums, some stating that they planned on it soon.
-
I believe this would be a bump?
-
^ Yes, that would be a bump. :D
I hope that whoever runs it will to the SPAM eating contest again. I'd like to be in that!
-
Fried or raw? **wants to participate either way**
-
Last time, I'm pretty sure that it was raw. I'd prefer it to be raw, myself.
-
I definitely want to go to this panel this year. I never make it to any of them. :(
-

I'd like to kindly disagree with you on that. While Tom hasn't been on the forums a lot lately I've been to one of his panels before (Pocky Club) and he's an excellent panelist! Even then he wasn't super active on the forums but it didn't really matter because when you met him in person he was just cool. I think whoever can actually execute it the best should run it, and since Tom has experience with these I'd be fully supportive of him running it.
Sometimes the messiest panels are the ones with too many people trying to run it and be in charge so two people isn't bad at all....
-
To add to that, the last time this panel existed, Tom ran it. He was more active on the forums before that con, and this panel was one of those reasons. I do support the idea of Tom running the panel, but only if he wants to. If not, there are many people on the forums that I could see doing a good job running it, myself included (though I can think of a couple of others that'd probably be better).
-
Aw shucks guys... I guess I need to get some paperwork filled out if we're going to have this panel again huh?
My office computer can get to the forums again, but I work weekends so I can't get to any of the meetings.
It's gonna be tricky but I think I can pull this off.
-
^ WOOT! We're behind you all the way, Tom!
-
Have to cancel on Kumoricon this year. Too many bills. :'(
Someone else needs to take over.
-
^ Really? Damn. That sucks...
Well, if that be the case, then perhaps we should figure out who's doing it instead. It looks like random is a top nod, and I would like to throw my own name out there as a possible panelist. Any other ideas?
-
I'd be glad to help behind the scenes if there's any way to do so, but actually running the panel should be left to someone a lot less Fluttershy-esque than me. (^_^);
-
^ ...like me? (I'm a lot more Pinkie Pie like, maybe a little Apple Jack, too. ;D)
Okay, any other ideas for possible panelists?
-
Hard to say... it seems like we've lost a lot of people over the last year. :-[
-
This is true, or at least since 2010...
-
I to haven't been on as much as I used to but I keep my ear to the ground.
Add long as I don't have any staff position conflicts I would like to help.
Something I think would be fun, make up games we could play on a large scale based I
n forum threads, trick would be to make then simple and in a way lots could play at once
Like the Oregon Washington + - game go thru the room and people just sounds off where they are from largest group from one area wins, rough idea but its always near to hear how far people come from
-
^ That basic idea is a good one, though I don't think I'd use that exact game. Perhaps the Pokemon vs. Yugioh, or maybe a new category. There's probably other games that could be done, too, like a modified avatar caption game, or the word game.
Ooh! Something that I've thought about doing a whole panel on (but this would probably be better) would be a "Create a motivational poster" game. We'd have teams of two or three (or more, maybe), then show them a picture. The teams would work together to come up with a poster, then we'd vote on our favorite. The winners get Pocky.
-
Can I just show up for the forum meetup panel? I can bring pocky :)
-
(I dont know paul ya can always check at a meeting to see if something can be worked out)
here is an idea for the poster
(https://www.kumoricon.org/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fa5.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net%2Fhphotos-ak-ash2%2F156269_10150750978443930_636473929_9338322_1668261366_n.jpg&hash=6bac37d83f3d68f35f4bf9beeb05d5cf648034cb)
might be an anti motivational poster...
-
*falls over from the cuteness*
YEEEEESSSSS!!! THAT'S AMAZING, JAZ!!! He's gotten so big since I last saw him! ...he kinda looks like my nephew did at his age, but with different hair... :D
-
Thanks!, its funny his hair is still pretty short but golden, except the to that is the only part of his baby hair that didn't fall out, which is dark brown.
I call this picture,"Max tell us how you really feel about peach baby food"
-
Not a fan of peach, eh? Too bad...
Well, I think I'll fill out the form after I get some sleep today, before my class, hopefully.
-
FORM SUBMITTED!!!
-
Awesome! :)
-
yes awesomeness
here this would be better for motivational poster

-
Meh, I don't know... I think I like the first one more for a motivational poster...
...perhaps we should have people send me possible pics for this game via PM instead of the thread...
-
But look he so cute who wouldnt want to see a pic of Max or me posting pics
Cuz its so maes hughs (j/k)
-
I'd be glad to help behind the scenes if there's any way to do so, but actually running the panel should be left to someone a lot less Fluttershy-esque than me. (^_^);
lol I just finally watched MLP:FIM and completely understand now and am the same way. :P
Is this meet-up still happening?
-
I have submitted the paperwork for this panel. I just need to wait for approval from the programming department. (Unless I have and don't recall).
-
Sounds like a panel to attend :D
-
I really liked the time when we made buttons of everyone's avatar to hand out. I think leashy still has my button maker tho, might need to get it back for a project like this if anyone was interested?
-
That would be so much fun:D + then the regulars on here would know who people are by their button XD
-

Oh, yeah... I remember that...
I can talk to her next week at Van Con. I'm planning on going to that. If she can't, I know someone who has a button maker, as well, who might let us use it, as well as the Kumoricon one. (Though I'm thinking that both sides might be using theirs during the con...).
-
yeah, I need to meet up with her too, been out of state

...I wasn't able to go. I can still talk to my friend about using hers, though.
-
yeah, need to remember to ask leashy next time I see her lol.
-
So, a bit of an update!
I haven't received word yet on whether or not this panel has been approved or not, or any other panels, for that matter. However, I do believe that this one will be accepted! I have asked a couple of people to join me as co-hosts, as well. We will be meeting soon-ish to begin planning things out.
YAY!!!
-
Oh man, I regret not going to the forum meet up panel in 2010 but I remember that it was set kinda late at night and I wasn't staying at the hotel so I had to leave early and wasn't able to go. But I am so going this year! [even if I'm not a prominent member of the forum society XD]
As for making buttons of everyone avatars, I know that I change my avatar A LOT so I think just blank name tags that people could write their forum names on would be fine. :/
-
^ Actually, I've been thinking more and more about the name tag idea, as well. I could see some people complaining about it "harming their cosplays" or something like that, but it'd be faster and cheaper.
-
^ Thats very true. And buttons are so expensive that it would be a total waste if you made a button for someone and they weren't able to show up to the panel. Name tags are much better.
-
Agreed. It looks like we'll be doing name tags, then. :D
-
I was gona say name tags is a good plan, because a lot of us are artists, and I dunno bout you but I always draw on my name tags lol
-
Oh, hey, that's a good point, too! I didn't even think about that. In that case, maybe we ought to look at getting multiple-colored markers or sharpies, or something.
-
I have a wicked abundance of colored sharpies but I would be afraid of them getting stolen :/ and sharpies can be expensive. Maybe just some normal children's markers would work better.
-
That works. Or if people want, they can bring their own sharpies and just make sure they keep them to thsemselves and not let anyone use them freely. So people can keep track of thing.
We could also do a sort of "Who's that pokemon" game, but with facts about the people coming to the panel, like maybe show something along the lines of "This member of the forum's favorite number is 33 and her name means 'stalking wolf'" which, the answer would be me.
I dunno, its just a thought. I thought it might be fun.
-
^ That could be fun, actually. I'll add that to the list of ideas for our panel meeting.
-
^^ that sounds like a lot of fun!
-
eh buttons are not so expensive, they cost like about 10 cents to make.
-
Well, I'll bring this up at our planning meeting, and we'll decide one way or the other, hopefully... :D
-
can i come?
-
Only if you wanna! ;D
Wait, are you talking about the panel itself, or the planning meet-up?
-
Update: THIS PANEL IS A GO!!! I hope to see y'all there!
-
YAAAAAAY! I'll definitely be there. I'm super excited.
-
Meeting adjourned!
Some updates will be posted soon!
-
I am hopefully going to this
I've meet a few forum people in real life
but there are a few others I don't know yet
-
Ill drag you in !

The first one is a "Make a Signature" contest!
We will be handing out three different awards, based on these categories: Most Creative, Most Purrdiest, Most Funniest.
Rules: ...we didn't really go over any "rules." For now, just keep all entries forum-friendly, provide either your real name or forum name, and submit JPEG files only.
The second one is a "Most Likely" contest! (Similar to what seniors vote on for their yearbooks).
We have a list of categories for y'all to vote on:
- Most random
- Most likely to glomp
- Most likely to break out in a dance
- Biggest troll
- Best avatar
- Top Poster
- Most likely to find Cthulu
- Oldest Otaku on the forum
- Least likely to travel to Japan
- Would be the worst flavor of Pocky
- Biggest sugar fanatic
- Most likely to remind Sailor Jupiter of her former boyfriend
You can vote for just one category, multiple categories, or all of them. You can vote for multiple people for the same category. You can even vote for yourself! Just have fun with it, okay? Fun makes for happy con times for all. :D
For both of these games, we have created an email account in which y'all can submit your entries. Please send them to: forummeetuppanel@gmail.com . Please indicate that your emails are for the contests by having the subject title saying "Kumoricon Panel Entries." All entries must be submitted by August 20, 10:30 pm PST. Any questions or comments can be emailed to us, as well, or you can email us.
THANKS FOR PLAYING!!! WE HOPE TO SEE Y'ALL THERE!!!
-
What size should this "signature" be?
-
I don't remember what I have been told by the mods, only that it's an approximation. I think it was something like 800x300, or something like that... There's a few now that are bigger, so unless a mod jumps on here and says contrary, I'm thinking no more than 1,000x350. (Sorry, I typed those dimensions backwards; I've corrected it now).
-
well im excited for this~
cant wait till it happens!
-
I have to admit, I haven't been as active on the forum lately, but I will be at the meet-up...and I will be at the live version of the werewolf game!!!!!!!
SO excited for the con!!!
-
Well, it would've been better if we had more people there, but it was an okay turn out...
Next year, we should have this include the Facebook crowd, as well... and no more SPAM. It was fun, but I'm thinking no more...
-
Did the spam finally make you sick??
im glad we had some people show up, it was still fun to me and id love to do it again next year too~!
-
I would have liked to come if I hadn't had a conflicting photo shoot. Next year!
-
Did the spam finally make you sick??
Nope!
