Well, it won't be locked if you guys are just organizing a second cosplay chess event in the park.

It might get moved though, since it wouldn't be a con sponsored contest. It might move to..... plan your own adventure... or maybe even the spam forum! Keep talking though, no worries.

I will post rules and info for next year's chess event here on the forums so people will know what to expect.  After that, probably May or June, I will post the registration forms so people can sign up for the event.

Here are the basics, tho -
1) You need to send a picture of your completed cosplay in with your registration... I let this requirement slide last year, because the info went up late, but I'm going to be enforcing it more this next year.  I will only accept sign-ups for complete cosplays, so get started :)

2) While this is not a cosplay contest (you aren't judged on your cosplay), your cosplay is important - we need recognizable characters, and the better your cosplay, the better chance you have of being picked as a piece.

3) Since we are looking for specific cosplays (complete, recognizable) this is event is not first-come, first-serve.  There were some questions regarding that issue last year, so I will stress it again -just because you signed up first, you are not guaranteed a place.  I will do my best to ensure that everybody who wants to gets a chance to participate, but we are restricted by time and space available, and sometimes it just doesn't work out.

Now, this isn't to try to scare anyone from wanting to participate, I just want you to know what to expect.  Last year's event was a blast, and I'm glad everyone had fun.  I'm looking forward to next year, and I can't wait to see what cosplayers we have  ;D

If you have any more questions, let me know  8)

Do it if you wnat to, but I rather think it's an over done cosplay. But it'd be cool to have the TMHS characters in chess.

awesomeness, Don't you love it when you're the only one, and people know you by your character. Like there's people who know me only as Martel and it confuses them when I'm in a different cosplay. And the people who'd be very disappointed if I didn't do Martel at least one day of the con.

I have successfully found all the people I need for my Cosplay group and we will be at SakuraCon, hopefully cosplay chess and if not we still have a battle date with Turk Coffee.

Have you never watched FMA??? Martel is the snake chimera that was once part of the special forces but "now" is officially dead. She was rescued from the lab by Greed and works for him. She, Dorochet, Loa, Greed and Al are the only ones to survive the attack on the Devil's Nest bar, Greed's headquarters. In the same episode, Dorochet and Loa die giving Greed, Martel and Al time to escape from Lust and Glutony. Greed than runs off to get killed by Ed, leaving Martel in Al's care. We don't see her for a couple of episodes than she comes back to drive the boys to Ishbal and tells the real story of the war. She travels with the boys for a bit and ends up at Central City with them and attempts to kill King Bradley, but fails and ends up being killed by Bradley while inside Al's armor.

I think that covers it.

You lot seriously crack me up... ;D

Okay, since it's a new year, and you all seem to need something to do to keep you out of trouble, maybe you can help me out with something.  Last year we had a couple of wonderful teams of variously thrown together players... this year, I'd like to see something more.  We were so close to Good vs. Evil (and that is still my personal fave), but I'm looking for suggestions on team themes for this year.

What would you like to see?  A battle of the sexes?  Shoujo vs shounen (who would win, Riza from FMA or Tuxedo Mask from Sailor Moon?)  Throw out some ideas, and let's see what we can come up with.  I can't guarantee we will end up using any particular idea (alot depends on sign-ups), but surprise me ;)

(Hmm, I can't decide which is more entertaining: Tuxedo Mask sweeping Riza off her feet, or Riza putting a bullet into his mask :P)

Title: Re: unofficial cosplay chess 08
Post by: majinekochan on January 25, 2008, 05:42:22 pm
I like the battle of the sexes idea, although I think the "Girls" King should be like a very feminine guy not a girl like Ritsu Sohma from Fruba, and the "Guys" Queen should be a very butch girl, or a girl that gets confused for a guy, like Haruhi from Ouran.

That'd definitely be fun. ^^ So it'd be the gender of your cosplay character, right? I think that dividing it that way would be a fine idea.

Post by: Syd-chan on January 25, 2008, 11:57:15 pm
Eh, let me ask a question for myself and all other people who are new to this 'Cosplay Chess' thing...Erm, how to does work? Is it just like regular[ish] chess? Also, when two people are facing up against each other[for example, last years Gaara and the schoolgirls, which ish awesome on YouTube], how do they determine the winner? Just whatever happens, happens?

Also, how are the people chosen to move? Erm, to make a little more sense...How do we know who goes during that turn? Will an announcer or something decide?
Title: Re: unofficial cosplay chess 08
Post by: Jamiche on January 26, 2008, 09:28:27 am
Syd,

It's like regular chess... there are chess masters that tell the pieces what move to make (so a piece doesn't have to know how to play chess, just how to take orders).  The winning piece is always the piece that attacks, just like in chess... that is how a school girl could kill Gaara (which was very awesome, and I totally love the chess masters for making that happen ;D).

Pieces are chosen based on their cosplay.  In a couple of months I will be posting the rules for it, but basically you need send in a picture of your cosplay to be considered.  It's not a first-come, first-serve event, it's based completely on your cosplay, so the better and more unique it is (I try very hard not to have more than one of the same cosplay), the more likely you are to be chosen.

That would make me laugh.

But most likely not gonna happen.

I had a few ideas. Dunno how well the first one would work. But maybe we could pit Anime vs. Anime? They can be related, or totally not. Like Naruto vs. Bleach? Maybe two teams of cross players. Guys as girls vs. girls as guys. Dunno, I think I'm babbling again. :D

Title: Re: unofficial cosplay chess 08
Post by: ThiefKingsHier on February 04, 2008, 05:26:21 pm
 Last year there were four people form Bleach and..two from Naruto. ( the series with the most characters was FF)  Not a good idea unless you want to exclude the majority of cosplayers at the con.
Title: Re: unofficial cosplay chess 08
Post by: Nanao_chan on February 05, 2008, 11:45:54 am
 If you're talking about those who were in cosplay chess, your numbers are a little off. If you include the people who cosplayed the two shows who just attended k-con, those numbers were larger. I'm sure that if that option was added to cosplay chess registration, we would get a great turn out. Granted FF had a good turn out too, so, that would be another good option.

 Ah well if the chess game at Kumoricon  starts taking the same turn as the one at Sakura, theres a good change your not GOING to be able to play.

 Its getting very 'serious business'. The guy in charge is being VERY picky and cutting everyone whom he doesnt think has a perfect costume or is entertaining enough.
I dont blame him though, hes a pretty guy and  Im sure hes getting a lot of pressure from the staff to make it 'good'.
To bad that what made it good was that everyone seeing how much fun it is and wants to play.

But..thus far Kumoricon has not inherited any of SC vile  corruption so..heres hoping.
Title: Re: unofficial cosplay chess 08
Post by: Jamiche on February 13, 2008, 03:27:27 pm
The whole point of Cosplay Chess, at least IMHO, is to have fun.  Good costumes are good (you want to at least recognize the piece), enterainment is good (what's the point, if it's not fun), and everybody enjoying the experience is the goal.

I would love it if everybody that wants to participate in the event can, but we have limited time and limited space.  Your chance of being a chess piece is dependent on how many people sign up for the event.  If there are small number of sign-ups, odds are you are going to be able to play.  If a bunch of people sign-up, then it's possible you might not, and that's when your cosplay is going to be a deciding factor.

I loved the game last year - every piece was played, and they were able to participate more than just standing on the board.  But it took a lot of time, and we were only able to play one game.  If people want more than one game, then there's a good chance that the game will be played quicker, but you may never move on the board... it's a trade-off.

Now, I'm not trying to discourage anyone that's interested, I'm just trying to explain my end of things.  When the sign-ups go up in few months, please, take a picture of your cosplay and send in your form.  I'm hoping to see a good variety of cosplays, and hopefully we can get a good theme (or 2) going.  Then we can see how the teams shake out, and what kind of match(es) we'll see.

As to whether or not the event is "good"... I don't particularly care if it's the best strategically played match, or if the entire board is wiped out.  As long as everyone has fun, it's all good in my book :)

Yes, fun is always a plus, ha ha. But, I did not know that about last years cosplay chess, so that's a good thing to know. How long did the one game that happened go on for? And also, which day was it?
Title: Re: unofficial cosplay chess 08
Post by: Jamiche on February 14, 2008, 11:01:02 am
It was on Monday, and it ran for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, if I recall correctly (I was very tired by that point :-X).  The plan is to keep it on Monday.. something fun to look forward to on the last day at con.

Oh god no! Not on Monday! remember how badly I failed? Thats because by that time I was so damned tired I was hallucinating! I honestly dont know how I even managed to stand up (let a lone move)  that long.

Im not complaining, that just means it was a hell of a con but Id rather not make such a fool of myself next year. ^^;

I remember that day we had to haul all of our gear out of our rooms just before we checked into the Chess Match. That was fun on a bun (sarcasam) >.< Checkout of the hotel was about Noon or so and at that point we were still in the game so we planned to be checked out of our room before the mayhem began.

My point being: Maybe this year we could have Cosplay Chess not so close to hotel checkout? Maybe make the match at 1 pm or something. I realize it might collide with closing ceremonies or something to that effect but I heard from a few people that they didn't get to see the matches because they were stuck checking out of their rooms.

I will actually have a character that can actually attack! *GASP* Sorry... My character for Sakura-Con Cosplay Chess doesn't fight. So... Do the math...

Last year was fun, this year shall be fun. Oh... Out of the characters I have listed, who should I see about doing for Cosplay Chess?

Human Luna from Sailor Moon S
Heero Yuy from Gundam Wing
Princess Kakyuu from Sailor Moon Stars
Jin Uzuki from Xenosaga

*DUN DUN DUN!!!!*
That's EPIC!!!! lol.
no the funniest part would be, to summon them, i would draw a hole bunch of stick figures and just write "KINGDOM HEARTS CAST" over top xD

Yeah it kinda sucks cause last year I didn't find any D. grey-man cosplayers (except A-Key-Kyo)
So my sister and I decided to cosplay as them to sakuracon, there were quite a bit there.
You can never get enough of Axel! I know kingdom hearts is WAY overdone in cosplay, but I don't want to judge it on how many people do it, I'm gonna do it cause I WANT to. I know I should probably be more creative in my cosplay selections (like something that isn't cosplayed as much) but I've been wanting to do Axel for years. I think I will do Axel for cosplay chess though....I want them to play his battle theme xD

Thief King Bakura;ancient egypt version - Yu-Gi-Oh!
Dark - DN Angel
Heero Yuy - Gundam Wing

which one do you guys think? I'm thinking either Bakura or Heero, though Dark would be funny as well if I get that costume completed in time. Damn wings....*grumbles*

Rules and sign-ups for cosplay chess should be up by June 1st (I will start another thread with that info).  Participation is not first come, first serve... it depends on your cosplay.  Preference will be given to complete cosplays, of recognizable characters, and unique ones... there won't be duplicate characters on the board.

No music is required/being used during the battles... if it's something that you simply must have, then talk to me and maybe we can work something out.   Our matches are not decided prior to the event, so we don't have any scripting, which can make it a bit more difficult when it comes to stuff like music.

Go ahead and call me a noob, but with the mention of battles and matches, it sounds like cosplay chess is different from the normal tabletop game. What's the difference other than real people in cosplay?

It's the same game as the normal tabletop game, except people in cosplay are the pieces.  The battles are when on piece takes another... you already know which piece loses, it's how they lose that is the fun :D

That's kind of unfortunate considering in a real chess game, pieces may not ever get a turn or are simply taken right off the bat.

I was gonna say, if it were like what I had in mind and like I had watched on youtube for last year, I thought they played amtgard style and fought for their spot, where if they get body tapped they're dead or if they get tapped in the arm or leg it goes away. Also, is there going to be a black and white board or from what I saw, taped off squares?

True, if you play a game of strategy.  But if you do like last year's game... strategically, it was probably the worst game ever, but every piece played.  Some more than others, obviously, but everyone participated.

Organizer of the SakuraCon and Anime Evolution chess games here. I really wish I could make it to kumoricon this year, but alas I already have a ticket to PAX. I would just like to put out the suggestion of pre-scripting the moves based on a professional chess match (I get mine from chessbase.com). I cannot tell you enough how much it was worth it doing it at SC this year. I didn't get 1 complaint about the game being a horrible game of chess (well, one, but their complaint wasn't valid because they didn't know the rules of chess), every piece got to move because I chose a game that had that, and this allowed the pieces to co-ordinate their battles a lot more. If you have the time to do that, the results will certainly be worth it.

Why not have the kings hold the scripts and give commands to their pieces? That way the critical players can know what the next move is and other pieces don't know who's fighting who until the command is issued. Kind of in the middle of both ideas. 8)

Yea, thats the way we did it at Sakuracon.

My friend and I got to mod one game at Fanime last weekend.
I was mini Byakuya and he was normal Byakuya.
It was an epic time paradox battle. ( Ended in a tie coincidently) I wouldn't minded doing that part again.

I'm the only one I know of who was in the Chess game.
I kind of don't have red hair anymore. It's.. very  black because I go as Byakuya now.

Well one of the reasons to have it scripted is so that some of the pieces can start collaborating before the con as to what they want to do for their battle. This makes it so the battles last more than just 10 seconds, sometimes up to 2 minutes.

 Nah, it's  cool. I'm actually kind of flattered. Had I known my Renji cosplay was that popular I wouldn't have changed

Chances are, I won't be in my 'Byakuya costume'.
I would  really like to fight as him, but no one would recognize the costume. It's young Byakuya who is in one volume of the manga.

I hate to say it, but anyone could beat him.  Chibi-Byakun's only weapon are a horrible temper and a wooden sword >>

What would the game board look like? In some past videos I saw it as tiles, and sometimes as squares of tape on the floor. I was wondering if I could ask to use the game board after the chess game, for a cosplay game of my own? Also just asking so I don't have to scan through every single page, what day, what time, and what room the game will be in?

Cosplay Chess is Monday from noon-3.  It is one of the last events of con... depending on what you had in mind, you might not have time.  The board will either be squares of carpet (I'm hoping) or tape like last year.
