Title: 2013 Cosplay Chess Rules & Sign-ups
Post by: Jamiche on July 20, 2013, 11:43:54 pm
Well, this may be a bit late since Nikkiolie already announced it  :) and some of you have already sent in forms, but...

Rules and registration forms for this year's Cosplay Chess can be found here: Rules (https://www.kumoricon.org/cosplay-chess-rules)  Registration Form (https://www.kumoricon.org/files/forms/2013/cosplay_chess_2013_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, 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.

stupid question the probably doesn't need to be asked, but what if its a char that is recognizable by the items it uses? to be specific. i want to enter my own form of "the mayor/villager" from animal crossing new leaf. (im trying my hardest to get clothes and accesories as close as possible to items you can buy in game) i have great attack ideas for it but im not sure how recognizable it would be with out it being THE villager from the new smash bros games :/

I sent you an email about a friend and myself being Chess Masters. I haven't heard anything back yet and just wanted to know if you got it.

I did.  I am still going through the emails I've recently received, so you should be getting a response soon.  As we get closer to con things start get really busy.  Thanks for all your patience :)

I think it will depend on what you put together.  Give it a shot, and send your pics in :)

 My little sister and I are almost finished filling out the forms to be a chess piece. But we don't have our badges yet. :(
Title: Re: 2013 Cosplay Chess Rules & Sign-ups
Post by: nekovamp13 on July 29, 2013, 03:18:21 pm
If you don't have a badge yet to fill in the badge number, just put N/A for now. And when you email your forms in, just state that you don't have your badges yet, but will have them by Kumo. That's all they need to know is that you will have your badge for Day 3 confirmed so they can know you'll be there.

By the way, you are looking at one of your Chess Masters!!!

I really want to submit my moogle mascot as a chess piece with its humanized form underneath as a special EX mode transformation...but alas, both aren't completely ready yet for photos (the head's taking a while).  Maybe another week (hopefully!), so I'm probably gonna submit my entry just under the wire.

The mascot will still look like the cute moogle everyone's used to, but he fights with underhanded tactics (shanking with a Tonberry's knife, smashing the opponent over the head with his save sign, fake out to scare the opponent then finish off with a headshot execution, suffocation against his body, throwing a moogle doll, etc), so I'm kinda hoping he'll be placed on the evil side.  (^o^)

I was going to say though, if you don't mind that I don't mind pairing up. Just lemme know. I'm not sure how that works in the application process, though. I'm probably going to be submitting Saturday but I'm determined to get this done!

Hey guys,

I have FINALLY responded to all the chess piece applications I have received, so if you didn't get a response, I didn't get your form.

If you have not sent in your form yet, just a reminder that you have until midnight tonite to do so.  And please, make sure you send in pictures of your cosplay.  If I don't get them by the time I start picking teams, I won't be able to consider your cosplay.

We have some good looking pieces this year... oh decisions, decisions...

Just that the application was received. Most of the time the teams will be posted on the forums then Jaki will send out emails saying that you got in.

I still got my application in on time which makes me really happy but now playing the waiting game which sucks.... Chelsea!! I can't wait to see ya girl!! I hope we get on the same team this year, that will be so cool!!

You never know you could of been picked or even maybe put on the list for possible chess pieces if someone does not show up to the pre-meeting time. I remember last year there was quiet a few people who didn't show up and those who didn't even put in an application but who did show up for the meeting got to be a chess piece. This year for sure I am going to make sure I get action shots this year and some recording because last year I didn't get any... Tear, Tear... I am so excited!!!

C'mon guys, you know how much I enjoy torturing you :D

Teams are now posted here:  2013 Cosplay Chess: Team Assignments
 (https://www.kumoricon.org/forums/index.php?topic=18159.0)
If you submitted your form on Saturday - I did read them, and they were considered for the teams.  I just didn't get a chance to reply to them like I usually do (sorry about that.)

And a reminder - if you submitted a form and did not get picked (we had a lot of good entries this year), don't despair!  Come to the pre-meet on Monday.  If a chosen piece has to back out, alternates (and that would be you) are the first on the list for replacements.  Plus, we are always looking for stage ninjas to help out, or maybe someone is looking for that special attack :)

Ah man, I wasn't picked :(

I suppose I will still show up to the pre meeting and hope I get lucky...

Bleh...Ditto-kupo... :'(

Well, nothing to stop me from at least coming to the pre-meeting too to see if someone can't make it because they've apparently been mauled by a ferocious, yet super cute fluffy white figure... *walks into the meeting with a bloody Tonberry knife*

Hey, Moogle person, since I'm Reno, I might be able to use you as a summon or something. XD We can talk to the folks running it at the pre-meet.

I don't see any reason not to!  Even if I might replace a missing piece, I'd still be a summon for you.  I have tons of special moves waiting to be unleashed!

Well, if you get to be your own piece, I don't think I could summon you. But that's fine, because being a piece is better, since you get to be on the board and all. XD

You could still summon them if they end up being a piece, it'll just be more of a co-op attack instead. I had something similar my first year where a Cloud cosplayer and I(as Squall) teamed up for his attack despite us both being pieces on the board. Just make sure that it's talked about first so others know what's going on.
