Forum Meet-up Panel 2011 - Return to Vancouver

[TomtheFanboy]

I'm not on the forum as much as I used to be but the panel is in my name.
Who wants to help run the panel?

Who wants to bring cupcakes?
Priozes? Gifts?

I will probably be able to make something to give as a silly prize.
Who else is going to be there?

Edit: Through the magic of the internet I will push the envelope of thread necromancy. How can you kill that which does not live!?

[Higuma]

I will be there, I am also not on the forums as much any more. I will know later on if I can bring something.

[oslapedo]

It was oodles of fun last year, I'll probably come again~

[nikkiolie]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am totally going! The only panel I'll go to

[Darknight2433]

I'll go...it's something to do, at least.

[Romo]

This sounds like loads of fun.~ I'll try my best to show up, and if I can I'll help out in any way that I can.

[leonmasteries]

I'll try to make it, I spend enough time on the forums anyway, so it will be fun to meet the others that are on here.

[Jacob_Blackfeather]

I will try as well I have alot to do.

[EveofAbyss]

I'll be sure to stop by. It was fun stuff last year. Let me know if there are any kinds of cupcakes you would like made, I can pass the request to Kahlan "Miss Bakes-A-Lot" Amnell. 

[nikkiolie]

can I has a special cupcake? :3

[EveofAbyss]

Meeeeeeeeeeeehbey? ^_^

[nikkiolie]

YAY!

[Darknight2433]

Eve, I just have to say that you and Kahlan are awesome for making cupcakes for (perhaps) strangers. My thanks. <3

[oslapedo]

I got a bag of swedish fish last year, sweet memories~

[EveofAbyss]

Eve, I just have to say that you and Kahlan are awesome for making cupcakes for (perhaps) strangers. My thanks. <3

Kahlan loves it, that's her dream, really. She just loves making people happy with her baked treats, heh. So I'm sure she'd be down for this, but I will be sure to ask first.

[nikkiolie]

I like eating baked treats

[TomtheFanboy]

NOM NOM NOM!
You guys have to put in extra effort if you are going to, um, share with people who happen to be at the same panel.
(The con isn't providing anything, we agreed that we wouldn't so the hotel won't get mad)

Anyway you guys gotta try hard because our other cupcake makers probably won't be there!

[EveofAbyss]

So, just for clarification, is it alright to make things and share them with others inside the hotel? (In other words, it is okay for attendees to provide goodies, but not the con itself?)

And I think you'll be pleasantly surprised with what Kahlan can turn out. She's usually the Uwajimaya cupcake maker. Done that a few times now for their Culture Festivals, heh

[Jamiche]

Officially, the con cannot provide food that does not come from the hotel itself.  That is why there are no food panels, and when there are there is a fee (to help cover the hotel's service charge )

So, officially, food is not provided in the panels.  But if you bring something in for yourself, and you have a little extra to share...

[EveofAbyss]

Ah, okay. Thanks for clearing that up, Jamiche. I got it *nudgenudgewinkwinksaynomore* 

[AriaxKitsune]

I will be attending this panel and from the sound of it it will be awesome.  Depending on how many people come I might make a couple cakes since I have found recently that it it's in a box I can make it lol.

[melchizedek]

This is pretty much the most fun panel ever

[StarryShay]

YESSSSS.

Since I missed the last one, I will come this time. =D

Mm, I missed it too, so I'm excited to come.~!
(:

[nikkiolie]

I really enjoyed it. I think I will enjoy it a lot more now that I know a bunch more people

[~boogiepop~]

I remember the first time I went to one of these 2 years ago and no one knew me but Patrick. I might want to go to this but I am 50/50 on it, kinda depends on the people who go I suppose :O

[nikkiolie]

I'll be there that is all that matters XD

I'm sure Patrick will go....

[EveofAbyss]

I'll be there, Kahlan will be there. It'll be rockin'.

[TomtheFanboy]

I'll be there that is all that matters XD

I'm sure Patrick will go....

Patrick?
There's a Patrick on these forums? 

[melchizedek]

Grr I still have to strangle patrick 

[Higuma]

Who is this mythical Patrick you all speak of? Does he have a mustash?

[nikkiolie]

Actually......no...

[melchizedek]

*sips some tea, brooding*

[superjaz]

I hopes i can make it i pretty active on forums but somthing always seems to come during con for this, tho luckly my hubby doesnt have an entry in the amv contest this year to root for,

since peeps already bring cup cakes

I will prob make cookies for this chocolate chip and ....dare i say....

Snickerbluedles!!!!

[DemonSpawn]

Oooh, fun! <3
I didn't even know about this last year so I'll see if I can make it. (I honestly have no idea what I'm gunna do during con XD)

[Romo]

Oh oh Demon! I know what you're gonna do. :3

You're gonna have a totally awesome time!!!~ c:

[DemonSpawn]

Most likely! You never know though. XP My sister's coming this year and she gets cranky when shee doesn't sleep. (And then proceeds to pick nonsensical fights with me.)

[Romo]

Thennnn stick her in the middle of a glomp circle and run? xD

[DemonSpawn]

Good plan! She hates being touched so that's perfect. XD

[TomtheFanboy]

No BAD TOUCHING at the meet up panel!

[EveofAbyss]

So as far as baked goodies go, Kahlan is still deciding between cupcakes and cookies. (Not to piggyback on your idea, Jaz. You both can make cookies since they certainly won't be the same kinds.) Cupcakes or cookies, they'll still be fun and delicious!

[nikkiolie]

CUPCAKES! I <3 them so very much :3

[EveofAbyss]

Yeah, I think the reason she was leaning towards cookies instead is because they are easier to keep fresh, in case the Forum Panel is not on the first day. Cupcakes just require more care and packing, so cookies may be what she ends up making. But don't worry, her cookies are muy delicioso, totemo oisii, and super good, heh

[nikkiolie]

Yeah I guess that makes sense...alright you guys can make cookies

[EveofAbyss]

But don't rule the cupcakes out. They may still get made, Nikki. 

[nikkiolie]

Well if they do I totally call dips on one XD

[EveofAbyss]

Alrighty. ^_^

[KogaRyu]

This sounds exciting!!   I will be there 4 sho.

[VampireFangs103]

I'll be there! I don't come on much anymore. >.> But I was disappointed that I didn't stay the whole time last year. So count me in! =D

[MiriaRose]

I might go~ It was a lot of fun last year. ^^

[~boogiepop~]

So I will try my best to go to this, hope to see ya'll there~

[DemonSpawn]

I might go~ It was a lot of fun last year. ^^

Do et!

[EveofAbyss]

Yes, peer pressure, peer pressure, Boogie! Attend, heh

[superjaz]

I was just thinking i have the jam and jelly i have made i can bring some, what would go well with that? sugar cookies bread?

but yeah cup cakes and brownies travel much better the cup cakes, tho on thursday before con I was thinking of bringin some cup cakes to the con peeps setting up, as i am skipping out on that cuz its my birthday

[EveofAbyss]

That'd definitely be a lovely treat for them. They'd sure deserve it for the hard work!

[CloudStrife32]

I'd put; 'I'll try to come to this!', but I'm being shown around con, by someone who's dragging me to this, whether I want to go or not...o.o;;

[Mitsukai Mizu Amaya]

I'll make sure to stick my head in for a bit. ^^

I may go on a cooking-spree before con too... so I may bring some treats to um... share.

[EveofAbyss]

haha, sharing is good....you should make some FF-themed goodies, heh

[Mitsukai Mizu Amaya]

Ah yes, Garnet will bring some more ether. ^^ Cookies and stuff too... Final Fantasy-themed? I'll have mountains of items with me anyway... maybe I'll make a Buster Sword-shaped cake? Or item/armor/weapon/character-shaped cookies! XD

[Washougal_Otaku]

Unfortunately, I will be unable to attend, on account of one of my panels occuring at the same time.  Could someone eat a cupcake for me?

[DancingTofu]

So, I haven't found any mention of WHEN this is anywhere...

[superjaz]

we should each bring our own tea cup to use while eatting our treats

[EveofAbyss]

So, I haven't found any mention of WHEN this is anywhere...

Yeah, I have no idea when it is. I figured I would know by the time the schedule is made/released. I didn't know if it was a community effort to plan it time-wise or if that was something left to Tom (and other staff).

[Jamiche]

This panel is part of the official panels, and is on the con schedule which should be posted later this week (or weekend, depending on when Publicity gets the chance).

The panel is 1pm Saturday.

[EveofAbyss]

Well that changes everything. Kahlan and I won't be in attendance for this, but you all have fun!

[Romo]

Hmmm...I might be able to make it, it really depends on how long another thing I'm going to takes and such. I hope I can make it! This looks fun to me.~

[nikkiolie]

Yeah I can't make it either. That is the time of the FF shoot.

[~boogiepop~]

I'm out too. Pokemon gathering is an hour later and I want to get everything set out and be there early. So have fun dudes~

[Mitsukai Mizu Amaya]

Well, darn. I'm in the FF photoshoot and the Mock battle, so I can't go now either. XD

[EveofAbyss]

FF Group is stealing people from the panel, ohnoes!

heh, Oh well, I'm in both those events too, Mitsukai. We'll be missing the panel for a worthy cause, lol

[Mitsukai Mizu Amaya]

We can still drop off cake!

[superjaz]

now i got to check what else Gs going on at that time it seems the party hour

[DancingTofu]

I think I can probably be there.  I'll have to ask Rene.

[TomtheFanboy]

T_T
T_T
T_T
T_T
T_T
T_T
T_T

[Darknight2433]

Why is Tom so sad~?

And this sounds fun, I'll try to get other forumgoers to come.

[DancingTofu]

I've requested the time off, so it's pretty likely I'll actually be there this year.

This will be

my first panel EVER. :O

At my 8th con.

[LtCommanderRichie]

I'll try to actually come this year, okay? Last year I thought it was on a different day for some reason and missed it. But Saturday I have no prior engagements, so you can more than likely expect me.

If I can find room in the car I might bring cupcakes. MIGHT. Not a guarantee. Also, if I do there's no guaranteeing that they'll survive the drive up because I'm sharing the car with my dad and brother.

But yes, my somewhat-guaranteed presence and maybe-guaranteed cupcakes.

[saya-chan14]

I will be coming sounds fun like last year If you still need help running it I don't mind helping out.

[The_Geek]

I'd like to make/donate a funny prize. 

[Sutie]

Oh! I've never heard of a forum meet up as a panel. This sounds like fun! I'm not on here very much but it'd be nice to see everyone's face.

[EveofAbyss]

It was really fun when I went last year. A lot of internet/forum-related gags and games. Making the King of Spam Posts eat spam, guess the Meme cupcake...fun stuff, heh

[Hentai Cupcake]

I will probably be there myself to lend my manly glory to the room

[nikkiolie]

It was really fun when I went last year. A lot of internet/forum-related gags and games. Making the King of Spam Posts eat spam, guess the Meme cupcake...fun stuff, heh

Its too bad that this is the same time as the ff photo shoot. I thought about talking to others and changing the time....but I don't think that would work out =/

[EveofAbyss]

Yeah, seems like we're a bit too far in to change stuff now.

[nikkiolie]

That is what I figured so I didn't even bring it up

[TomtheFanboy]

I actually have two cans of spam this year.
I'm trying to come up with a prize worthy of an eating contest. 

I think I put in a budget request on that panel form. I'll have to email Programming.

[Jamiche]

I actually have two cans of spam this year.
I'm trying to come up with a prize worthy of an eating contest. 

Pepto Bismol?

[EveofAbyss]

I'd love to see a pepto-chugging contest. Even though I won't be there. I'd still like to see it, just in regular life, lol

[oslapedo]

If vegetarian spam existed I'd be in. Oh well!

[DancingTofu]

If vegetarian spam existed I'd be in. Oh well!

You make me feel less ronery. :>

[KogaRyu]

I've requested the time off, so it's pretty likely I'll actually be there this year.

You BETTER be there!

[TomtheFanboy]

Yes, I'll definitely include some pepto with the prize.
Ooh! I know! I have a can of Brawndo that will be part of the prize.

[EveofAbyss]

haha, awesome. That'll do the trick, lol

[Kagome219]

Depending on the time, I will most likely be there~ :3

[xcthulhux]

i might go.
depends on what else is going

[Cassiopeia]

I want to come, but I don't know if I will.

[melchizedek]

If vegetarian spam existed I'd be in. Oh well!

Blasphemy !

[laurifer]

[xcthulhux]

ok, now im seriously considering going. i just thought about it and there can't be many better things than seeing all of you wacky fun loving people in one place at the same time.

[makichan]

I may or may not go all depending on what goes down.

[DancingTofu]

I always get a kick out of meeting people from the forums.  Mainly because I'll get to know them somewhat, then after a few hours conversation leads to the forums, and someone eventually asks who I am, then they're like "OMG DancingTofu has a kawaii desu mustache!" :O

[laurifer]

Your Jesus hair is also not hard to miss, lol.

[chelseahavoc]

xD i might go depends on when it is. i'd love to meet everyone

True.  However, my mustache has been quite the attraction lately.  I'd get a good picture of it, but my camera has not been returned to me. :/

[MiriaRose]

You have a stasche, Tofu? o.o

[DancingTofu]

I have QUITE the 'stache.



That was 7 weeks ago.  It's at about 2 1/2 inches now. (that's on each side)

[MiriaRose]

Oh, wow. xD Do you like, curl it or something?

[DancingTofu]

Yeah.

Beard's way longer too.

Hair's pretty much identical though.

[TomtheFanboy]

I grew out my mustache awhile back but Vallie yells if I start curling it up.

[TomtheFanboy]

I just got a pretty awesome prize pack put together for whoever wins the spam eating contest.
Trust me guys, it'll be worth it.

[laurifer]

spam....mmmm.


I hope mustash does it again this year

[Cassiopeia]

I seem to recall him not wanting to do it ever again. xD

[laurifer]

but tom's prize...sounds so epic he might want to do it XD

[melchizedek]

mmm spam... (blarfs)

[Sutie]

It sure will be nice to put a face to everyone here

[MiriaRose]

Didn't Mustash throw up last time?

[Kagome219]

Wow. This sounds like it's going to be great! I'll be there for about thirty minutes or so. :3  So hopefully I'll get in on part of the festivities. xD

[Sugarlat]

Oh god the spam eating XD

[TomtheFanboy]

Didn't Mustash throw up last time?

No, he didn't throw up.
He just had to lay down for the rest of the panel.

I am not kidding you guys with the prize pack I have. It is great.
I can also guarantee that the runner up (you're only a loser if you don't finish your spam) will get something nice for entertaining us.
I will also be providing a knife, fork, AND spoon for each contestant.

[NightLotus]

TOM!!! I FINALLY JUST GOT THE FORUMS TO WORK AND ITS AWESOME AND PATRICK WILL SO WIN THE CONTEST AND I'VE NEVER HAD SPAM BEFORE SO I'M HAVING A BITE OF HIS AND ALSO JUST TO LET YOU KNOW I'M COMING K?

(I kinda just had a brawndo) SPEAKING OF BRAWNDO CAN I HAVE A CASE THIS STUFF IS AWESOME IT KEEPS ME AWAKE FOR ABOUT 3 DAYS AND I THINK THAT I EVEN BREATH FASTER FOR LIKE A WEEK

[Sugarlat]

-A-...someone needs to calm down on the energy drinks~

[DancingTofu]

It's what plants crave!!

[TomtheFanboy]

OMG, a whole case of Brawndo!?

You know that stuff is good until 11-09, that's months away!

Oh, and NO you cannot have a bite of SPAM from the contest! It is a serious competition! That would disqualify him!

[Coconutty93]

I'll be there! Can't wait to see peeps! 

[NightLotus]

so is that a yes about the case of brawndo?

[melchizedek]

brawdo yay!

[superjaz]

missed this one again catch it next year really this time

[melchizedek]

Brawdo makes you win at things that you can't even win at.

You can WIN at YELLING!

Was cool to see forum peeps, was kinda sad how many meetups I missed this year, felt so out of touch.

Can't believe tanis ate the two spams.... eww spammer

[Hidamari]

I'm sorry I had to leave early. Too much processed pork particles in the air made my vegibitarian nose barf

[VampireFangs103]

Wolfy and I had a blast. X3 We only stayed for a while last year, so this year we absolutely loved the meet-up. Even though we were the "lurkers" in the back. XDD We definitely plan on going to this next yeeeear =D

[Darknight2433]

Wolfy and I had a blast. X3 We only stayed for a while last year, so this year we absolutely loved the meet-up. Even though we were the "lurkers" in the back. XDD We definitely plan on going to this next yeeeear =D

<3

WOLFY AND YOU~

[VampireFangs103]

XD Yes. Wolfy and me~ =w= You'll have to hang out with us sometime. We hang out like every weekend anyway. Come cosplay with us at Clackamas Town Center sometime. =w=

[leonmasteries]

all I have to say was poor honey sempai...

[NightLotus]

poor Patrick and Tanis :/
even the smell was enough to make me feel sick O_O

[leonmasteries]

oh god, to me, it was about as a car crash, you want to look away, but you cant... and than one of them decided to try their luck with a second can of it.

[Darknight2433]

XD Yes. Wolfy and me~ =w= You'll have to hang out with us sometime. We hang out like every weekend anyway. Come cosplay with us at Clackamas Town Center sometime. =w=

Sounds like a plan! <3

[Teddy_Bearxx]

I missed it.
I was in the Tea Party.
xD

[DancingTofu]

I'm sorry I had to leave early. Too much processed pork particles in the air made my vegibitarian nose barf

I couldn't smell anything; my sleepless immune system was retaliating by being allergic to anything and everything, so my nose was so stuffed up I couldn't smell anything except while in the bathrooms downstairs.  From the fact that I could smell their stench, and from how people described the funk of the game room, those must have been uninhabitable.

I forgot to bring my mod tools, and thus was powerless against all the spammers and trolls, but I escaped alive! ;]

If I am a mod again for next year, I will be cosplaying as a mod on the day this happens.

If not...well, there's MEW Con ;]

[TomtheFanboy]

We might actually need to get a MOD HAMMER made for people to bring to next year's panel!

I am sad that this thread doesn't have more posts than the others, but I suppose we can't compete with Ouran.


....or CAN WE!?

[DancingTofu]

We can compete with everything forever!  I live for competition! 

HEAR ME ROAR!!!

[HardstyleZombie]

it was amazeing the way patrick lost then a girl took 2nd place also tofu dont make me steal your mod tools

[xcthulhux]

thats it.
i am definitely cosplaying as a forum moderator next year.
i will definitely have a ban hammer, quick mod tools, and a thread splitter.
not to mention thread locks.

it was amazeing the way patrick lost then a girl took 2nd place also tofu dont make me steal your mod tools

Don't act like you don't know her >.>

[TomtheFanboy]

I have the best version of the spam eating contest up.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hhnx_y3f0Mo

I'll have the second round up soon. You can see the normal speed contest in a previous video.

[HardstyleZombie]

hahaha ya i know

[xcthulhux]

i really really enjoyed the panel.
i think my girlfriend did too, until she ate that spam...
her stomach hurt a lot afterward xD

[HardstyleZombie]

the after panel aka your girlfriends spam eating was the best lots of jokes also domo dancing ftw

[reppy]

I am sad that I missed this. D:

[HardstyleZombie]

you should be it was pic

[DancingTofu]

i really really enjoyed the panel.
i think my girlfriend did too, until she ate that spam...
her stomach hurt a lot afterward xD

But she won prizes! :O

[TomtheFanboy]

So I'm trying to decide whether to move on to something else in 2010 or do another spam battle with the same rules.

Maybe a "Chubby Bunny Challenge" with Spam cubes instead of marshmallows.

I'm think of a "Name that Forum Quote" contest where I read something a person said and people try and guess who said it.

I considered a forumite costume contest too, where you come dressed as another person on the forum. I don't know if that would be a good idea though.

[NightLotus]

how would that work? we would dress up as their avatar or something? ^^

[HardstyleZombie]

i call dibs on tom or tofu cosplay

[TomtheFanboy]

how would that work? we would dress up as their avatar or something? ^^

I have no idea. T_T
I still think it'd be pretty crazy though.

Ooh I know! Everyone come up with their own contests and prizes, then I can award a prize for the best contest!

[HardstyleZombie]

well we can have a domo dance off to see who can do the wave and cactar better

ha i lie or we can see who can suck up to tom the best

      ^ FTW ^

[NightLotus]

how would that work? we would dress up as their avatar or something? ^^

YOU MEAN A CONTEST CONTEST??

[Darknight2433]

BOBBING FOR APPLES! But for...spam...wait...we'd all be puking shortly because of the disgusting, soggy, floating spam. xD

[Cassiopeia]

CatchxMe, your post pretty much made me make that exact expression in your icon. ~λ~

[NightLotus]

CatchxMe, your post pretty much made me make that exact expression in your icon. ~λ~

exactly! lol

[TomtheFanboy]

BOBBING FOR APPLES! But for...spam...wait...we'd all be puking shortly because of the disgusting, soggy, floating spam. xD

And then.... MORE BOBBING IN THE SAME TUB! XD

I want to avoid this becoming just a bunch of spam jokes, so we need to do something that ACTUALLY has to do with the forum. Like when I used mod powers to hide a special message deep in the forum archives.


Oh, and we totally could not make a costume contest based on avatars, you darn kids change them way too often. 

[HardstyleZombie]

kids

lol kids hahaha tom you hang out with kids lol
but no you are right they do change to much

[TomtheFanboy]

So, somebody deleted their post..... and I think that someone also messed up the quotes there.
hurr hurr hurr

If I'm going to be a creepy old guy now, I promise not to send weird private messages.

[xcthulhux]

I'm doing it wrong :>

[TomtheFanboy]

you send me wierd emails all of the time >.>

Anyway, back on topic, how a candle jack impersona

:p

You said CJ's name!
Well that's one less person at next year's panel!

Somebody needs to make a CJ costume for  the Jack Skellington guy.

[NightLotus]

that guy frightens me... he doesn't seem physically possible.
and people could always choose the Avatar say... a month before con, then make THAT costume no matter if it changes!

[TomtheFanboy]

Ooh yeah, if you printed out a screenshot of one of that person's posts to prove what you were doing.
I don't think anyone would bother photoshopping in a character just because they ahppen to have that costume.

Bonus points if the person whose avatar you chose is at the panel!

[Darknight2433]

Sounds fun!...

...anyone want to do mine? 

[DancingTofu]

Anyone who cosplays as my current avatar wins at winning.

[NightLotus]

Anyone who cosplays as my current avatar wins at winning.

DON'T TEMPT ME CHARLES ;;>_>

[xcthulhux]

Anyone who cosplays as my current avatar wins at winning.

DON'T TEMP ME CHARLES ;;>_>

i believe the correct word is tempt.
i also believe that tofu and i should work together to recreate my last avatar.

[NightLotus]

LOL I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT
*points to original post*

[xcthulhux]

LOL I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT
*points to original post*

lool

[TomtheFanboy]

I think I will have to get a prize budget for the panel this year. I will try and get a batch of little prizes and one big prize. When I get the little prizes together I will let you guys know how many little contests we can do, and then the big prize will be for the person with the BEST CONTEST.

Contest Contest Rules rough draft
1. Contests can not have their own panel elsewhere in the convention.
2. Contests must involve at least two contestants
3. Contest makers may not compete in their own contests.
4. Contest makers may compete in contests of other contest makers.
5. The panelist reserves all rights to disqualify a contest if there is suspicion of it being "fixed".
6. Contest must be justifiably "forum related". Justifications must be 20 words or less. Justification will be judged by the Panelist and the Kumoricon moderators.
7. Contest makers may make more than one contest for the contest contest.
8. Contests cannot begin any earlier than 8:00am on Saturday morning, the weekend of the convention, and must end by the end of the Forum Meet Up Panel.

There, I think that covers it.
LOL, I thought of an unofficial contest for next year, but I think that the staff would shut it down. :3

[NightLotus]

Well tell us what it is at least!

[xcthulhux]

Well tell us what it is at least!

i was waiting for somebody else to say that, so i didn't have to.

[DemonSpawn]

I think we should start at 8:00 AM, see how many forumgoers we can find in con space, and document it to prove it (Like have them say their forum-name on a video). This ends when forum panel starts.

[oslapedo]

That is such a cool idea

Maybe we could also take pics with them or something.

[xcthulhux]

im totally lost.

Everything you type is logged by the admins even if you don't post it or you delete it right afterwards. They clear the logs on a regular basis but have certain terms flagged. That's why you have to watch your mouth in here.

thats a tough one, but if people have enough self confidence, that they will be able to handle it,  than so be it.
it should be there decision

[DemonSpawn]

Lol, I'm glad I came up with mine cause now I can't participate in it. XD

[xcthulhux]

How about an award for best thread?

I of course would not want to host this, as i would want to participate.

[TomtheFanboy]

I dunno man, best thread is really too subjective. There's not any clear way of measuring how "good" a thread is because of the different purposes they serve.


Do you guys think we could do more contests if the forum meet up panel was on Sunday morning instead?

yes.

but we could have awards like "best in show"
or "best conversation within"
or "best quote"

all within the best thread contest.

hey Tom, do you think i should start a thread about this where people can post larger pictures of their avatars and sign up to cosplay and things like that?
And i'm in charge of the prizes, right?

[DemonSpawn]

I had that question, do I have to come up with prizes?

[TomtheFanboy]

Let's do this, I'll make sure there's a small generic prize for every contest submitted since we're handing them out at my panel. If you guys find something that you want to get rid of or that you think would make a good prize, then you can give the winner that as well.

Starting a new thread would be OK, though something tells me it should probably go into the spam forum. I wouldn't start it now though, wait until like... after Sakuracon. People change their avatars so much after all. I am even planning on picking a new one!

[Animeman73]

Hey Tom, everyone, would you guys mind if at next year's meetup you had one slightly wacky, adult, aspiring science fiction and fantasy writer (me) come?

[NightLotus]

we want anyone on the forums to come! so of course we wouldn't

[Darknight2433]

Haha Nightlotus, always giving mixed signals.

calm down you guys

Who has a new contest idea?

[NightLotus]

calm down you guys

Who has a new contest idea?

I have lots of awesome ideas, but I'm already running one! so I can't do them

[TomtheFanboy]

C'mon Nightlotus! Sound your ideas! Maybe other people can run them.

[NightLotus]

HERE ARE A FEW!

Forum post guessing contest:
Rules: Read a post from the forums out loud. The person who made the post (if present) must not say anything. Others can try and guess who the post is by!

Name the threads Contest:
Read out a section (eg. Spam, cosplay) and people guess 5 threads they think are at the top AT THE VERY MOMENT. BUT NO CHECKING BEFOREHAND~ contestants must be internet free 15 minutes before the contest!
if 2 or more of the 5 are correct they get a prize and/or move on to the next round~ (judges/person running will need a computer and internets)

Guess the person contest: (will need some in panel prep to find who is there):
Have 1-5 contestants. (OR BE MEAN AND MAKE IT A HOT SEAT ). Read out someones forum name. Contestants try and find the people. ^^

[DemonSpawn]

I have another idea.


Say a post/quote from the forums. Nothing generic, something pretty original, then list off three members of the forums and the contestants have to guess which one said it. You get ONE guess. If you get it wrong you are disqualified. Five-six people a round, 'buzzer' type answering system but with raised hands.

If a question is asked and the person who buzzed in gets it wrong they are eliminated, next question. You do not say the same quote/question twice unless it's been quite a while.

Or maybe this point system instead:

Have contestants write their answers. All who got them wrong are eliminated. Those who got it right all get points. The winner of each round moves on the the next round.

(I figure for this we can use dry-erase boards or paper or chalkboards.)

[TomtheFanboy]

Name the threads Contest:
Read out a section (eg. Spam, cosplay) and people guess 5 threads they think are at the top AT THE VERY MOMENT. BUT NO CHECKING BEFOREHAND~ contestants must be internet free 15 minutes before the contest!
if 2 or more of the 5 are correct they get a prize and/or move on to the next round~ (judges/person running will need a computer and internets)

I am hoping to get a Live Events room where we can get wifi next year so we can hook up a computer to a projector. You would have to make allowances for sticky threads.

Guess the person contest: (will need some in panel prep to find who is there):
Have 1-5 contestants. (OR BE MEAN AND MAKE IT A HOT SEAT ). Read out someones forum name. Contestants try and find the people. ^^

Find as in "bring back to the panel"? Or Find in the room?

C'mon people, these two are coming up with great ideas! You can run a contest!
Well if you two are the only ones maybe we should make it a team event, with you two as the team Commisars (team captain is so last year).

[DemonSpawn]

W-would I be like 'against' Lotus?? D:

[TomtheFanboy]

Intimidating I know, but technically if I do the Contest Contest at all you would be against her.

Remember, it is up to YOU how competitive you want to be.

I mean find in the room, AKA do you know what everyone looks like

@deamony: We may be 'against' eachother but we don't have to be mean!

[Animeman73]

As I said for next year's meet-up panel I could bring strawberry or chocolate pocky as a prize, let me know which and I'll get it.

[TomtheFanboy]

I'll have to add a Prize Patrol section to the Contest Contest. Thanks Animeman.

oops ;;>_>

[DancingTofu]

Contest Idea: BUMP contest

Contestants craft a sign with dimensions no less than 10"x7" and no greater than 36"x24" on the detailed surface which says "BUMP" in the most elaborate fashion possible.

Entries will be judged by a panel of 4 judges, who will each grade on the following scales:
Creativity (concept): 0-10
Quality of Work: 0-10
Effort: 0-5

For a composite score ranging from 0 to 100.

BUMPs must be crafted prior to the event.

I think that someone who is not a mod should hold a similar contest JUST for mods and Admins, a BANHAMMER craft project! The biggest and fanciest banhammer wins!

[TomtheFanboy]

So I've got another idea for a contest, I might run myself.

It's a contest for who can take part in a conversation the longest without changing the subject! The best thing about this kind of contest is that it'd be really fast.

I think I'd run it myself to make sure that the topic is something reasonable and not too obscure.

[DancingTofu]

That would have to be a team-based tournament. :O

[TomtheFanboy]

That would have to be a team-based tournament. :O

Oooh! Good point! I'd need mods to judge too!

[NightLotus]

would it be a debate, a conversation, or a rant? ^^

[TomtheFanboy]

would it be a debate, a conversation, or a rant? ^^

Just a conversation. Now that I think of it, maybe I should just select the teams at random. Like just put half the room on one team and half the room on another. EVERYONE comments on threads after all, you never know who's going to reply.

Or make it more like an improv game, where each team lines up and you have to go in order.

Game sounds good.  They can help break the ice.

[Animeman73]

Hmm, since no one has told me which flavor of pocky they want me to bring next year I guess I'll just have to settle on the burden of bringing both strawberry and chocolate pocky. OH THE PAIN! OH THE PAIN AND THE BURDEN OF IT ALL  .

Dude, I was going to let you know later, like in AUGUST. That when I'll be double checking all thr prizes.
Since you've declared the intention to bring both though...

[soundninja12]

I AM BACK~

Okie dokie

I had an idea.. but it died about a day ago.
My idea not my brain XP

[DemonSpawn]

Someone mentioned a debate, I just looo~ooove debates. <3 I am going to be a lawyer after all, debating/arguing is sooo my thing.

[NightLotus]

tom, maybe we can have 3 divisions! because there are all 3 types of posts here!

[Animeman73]

Sorry Tom got a little impatient. And that whole oh the pain was just a gag. WHenever you get the chance I'd still like to know and if you want me to wait till Augest to get either flavor I'm more than happy to obliege.

[TomtheFanboy]

tom, maybe we can have 3 divisions! because there are all 3 types of posts here!

There was a rant here? I didn't notice.

I think we need to have two dedicated computers online at the panel for everyone to post on at least once. Login and post to this thread (or a new one we create specifically for that purpose).

Maybe we could make a "thank you staff" thread and everyone has to post to it when they show up at the panel. It'd be a positive kind of spam.

why did you miss again? we were looking for you at the beginning

[TomtheFanboy]

There was a Final Fantasy photoshoot meet up.

So here's the plan. When I fill out the forms in January we need to make sure that this panel is NOT at the same time as the main Pokemon meetup or the Final Fantasy meet up. I have a feeling I'll need to be at both.

Should we do the panel on Sunday night, after the Cosplay Contest??
Oh hey, I know, I can ask the stat bar when to run the panel.

*goes to consult with the forum stats*

[nikkiolie]

A night time one would be good, then you know it wont interfere...not too many shoot at night

[xcthulhux]

A night time one would be good, then you know it wont interfere...not too many shoot at night

this is true, but just not too late, so we can make sure everyone can go.
like those young'ns on the forums

[TomtheFanboy]

The really great panels run at night though, like the slightly anime dating game and the randomness of the internet and those dances all the kids want to go to so they can make out!


Hmmmmm....maybe we should put this panel right in front of the randomness of the internet panel so the madness never truly ends.
IT JUST GETS OFF TOPIC!  


@cthulhu
Yeah when the clock strikes midnight the mods "temp-ban" all the minors.  XD

[nikkiolie]

I'm sure like 6-8 would be an alright time, as long as it isn't Sunday >_> and run into the cosplay contest XD

[xcthulhux]

@cthulhu

well last year, somehow hszombie got a hold of an adult badge, and got to stay there for all 3 days without leaving.

Oi, I'm no kid. -turns badge other way-
You guys would hide me, no?

[TomtheFanboy]

My panel will not aid an abet minors after curfew.

My panel will also be completely BEFORE the curfew.

Mustash's panel....well.... He has a habit of getting the yojimbo's attention as it is.

i have also heard that you guys got in trouble this year.
what happened?

[TomtheFanboy]

Suffice to say, Mustash went a little too far with the adult content and surprised some of the attendees. They were not expecting that....graphic.... of an offering.

My opinion, that was naaasty.

[TomtheFanboy]

Note to everyone, once I actually fill out the panel forms in January I'll make a new thread for the 2010 meet up.

[Animeman73]

THERE ARE SOME THINGS UNDERAGED PEOPLE JUST SHOULDN'T SEE!!!

[nikkiolie]

Sounds good to me tom

[Animeman73]

Oh so that's when one applies for forums and events in January eh? Thanks for the information Tom. And no problem I'll look for the new thread in January good buddy.

[TomtheFanboy]

Oh so that's when one applies for forums and events in January eh? Thanks for the information Tom. And no problem I'll look for the new thread in January good buddy.

That's when we apply for panels, yeah. 

This year I have Pocky Club and the Forum Meet Up and maybe something else. I thought I had a third panel I was going to sign up for but now I can't remember. I don't know if my Girl Genius/steampunk friends will be interested in another show. We freaking FILLED the room last year.

As much fun as this panel is it never really FILLS the room like pocky or steampunk.

[TomtheFanboy]

Patrick did not go to a site that had footage of live people, it was all animated. The worst part is that 90% of it was safe and the horrible part was all at the very end.

That is why if my panel once again has a projector and screen the only non-forum stuff that we'll be pulling up is stuff from my own youtube account, like the spam videos.
Maybe my ytmnd...

OK, so you're blind?
Got it.

I'm sad that there's not more contests. I wanted at least 4.

Do you think Tofu is going to make a whole panel for the magic cards or just bring them to this panel?

Another thing on my checklist, I want to another epic mega mega pose! I want to edit this one so if you tile it as wall paper the people on the left are high fiving the people on the right through the image wall and the people on the bottom are standing on the hands of the people on the top.

I was figuring I'd run an event in CCG.  I'd also try to bring some cards to the panel though too.  Maybe 4 or 5 pre-made decks for people to mess around with.

[NightLotus]

^ i like this idea

[TomtheFanboy]

Yay! Thanks Tofu! Mostly I want people to be able to see their cards.

[xcthulhux]

SO when is the set going to be released to the public (us)

[soundninja12]

I betcha it'll be released when he finishes them XP

[HardstyleZombie]

OMFSM i want a set

[DancingTofu]

I intend to have a special print of each card that's for a specific person which those people will be able to keep.  I don't think I'll be able to make foils, but maybe something comparable?

MEGAIDEA

So, how about if I bring two full sets of these and 10 or so gold-coloured gel pens, and we have everyone sign their cards.  Everybody keeps one, then we offer the other full signed set for the charity auction?

auction. to go toward our next set.

if we could start a fund raiser to make more sets that would be cool, so we could make booster packs.

EPIC WIN!

[Cassiopeia]

I love that idea, tofu.

[NightLotus]

I love that idea, tofu.

this ^^

[Darknight2433]

Whoa, it's like...PERSONALIZED cards! :0

[soundninja12]

I intend to have a special print of each card that's for a specific person which those people will be able to keep.  I don't think I'll be able to make foils, but maybe something comparable?

YUSH!

[Animeman73]

Interesting, I'd like to see some large print copies of these cards you have in mind. It all sounds rather interesting. There's a guy over on FanFiction.net I'm working with in creating original TCG cards based on the worlds finest literature.

[xcthulhux]

I HAVE AN IDEA FOR A CONTEST
spam recipe contest.

idea inspired by this

[TomtheFanboy]

Hmmm.....recipe contest is uncomfortably close to a cooking contest. I dunno if we should be having people bring outside food made at home. I've been able to get away with Pocky Club because all of the containers are store bought and sealed.

For that kind of stuff you need food handlers cards and things. Maybe we could do a spam recipe contest at K-Lite.

[soundninja12]

I AM BACK~

Okie dokie

I had an idea.. but it died about a day ago.
My idea not my brain XP

I REMEMBERED!

How about a NAME THAT AVATAR contest?
You could bring up an old avatar of a member, then see who can name who's avatar it is ^^
No avatars over a year old so it appeals to the forums Noobs x3

[TomtheFanboy]

You want to run it soundy? I'll add it to the list! I could also supply you with my avatar archive from the older staff websites I made. I'm adding you to the list.

Updated Again!

Contest Maker 2 - NightLotus
Contest 2 - Avatar Costume Contest

I'm going to see if I can convince JeffT to provide the Contest Contest winner a custom forum title! Like Jaz and Mustash have.

[soundninja12]

Yay~

Okie dokie, I'll run it ^^

[Animeman73]

Hey Tom, thanks for keeping me on as one of the prize patrol. Uh, question though do you want me to deliver the prize to you directly or can I get Jaz to deliver it to you? Chances are you're probably going to be busy prior to and during the convention. If you want me to deliver it directly tell me when and where and I'll be there. Otherwise I'll see if Jaz can deliver it to you. So, what do you say?

[TomtheFanboy]

You do not have to hand over the prize directly to me, passing it through Jaz would be fine.
I will need it before the convention after all.

I should be at all the meetings this year unless something odd happens.

[melchizedek]

oh forum meetup footage would be epic!

[Kimiski]

Woah this confused me greatly for a bit
It should be re-named for 2010 xD

From the looks of these posts, I reaaallly got to make it to one of these sometime soon!

[Teddy_Bearxx]

I'll go.
I didnt do it last year.

[Animeman73]

Crikey, no one's posted here since April! I still remember my promise and I'll have that pocky for the Forum meet-ups by con time. If i don't deliver it, I'll see to it Jaz will.

[VampireFangs103]

Woot woot! X3 I'll be there. Can't wait for this one. =D

[Washougal_Otaku]

Well, I might go, depending on where & when.  I didn't see it on the schedule, so I'm not sure on what to expect.

[Cyprus]

Looks like Saturday at 7:30 PM in Panel 2 (Galleria II)

[Washougal_Otaku]

There it is!  No wonder I couldn't find it.  I'm use to it being in the morning!  Yeah, I should have no problem with that!

[Cyprus]

Glad I could help

I am also planning to make this one as I have only had the pleasure of meeting a small handful of forum peeps IRL.

[Higuma]

I will be there.

[Pots]

^{ooh i will have to check that out}

[~boogiepop~]

I might actually go to this panel finally.

Maybe, I'm not worth meeting, hahahaha. Obnoxious~

[Washougal_Otaku]

Actually, I'd like to meet you.  I think you seem like a fun individual.

[oslapedo]

I go to this thing every year, WOOOO.

[StarryShay]

I WANNA GO FFF

[reppy]

I've never been to it!  But I'm going to be there this year! ^^

[Kagome219]

This is probably the panel I'm looking forward to most this year. d:

[Animeman73]

I'll try to be there this year. Unless the celebrity dinner distracts me. Either way the pocky will be delivered as promised.

[~boogiepop~]

@Washougal- We've met before :O It was very briefly though at the only K-con meeting I ever been to.

[Classy Viking]

I may go to this panel. It so far seems pretty chill.

[Pots]

what do you do at this panel? :0

[StarryShay]

Eat spam

[Pots]

^{afjkfkj i love spam}

[StarryShay]

ewwwwwwwwwww ; 3 ;

[Pots]

hey hey thats the hawaiian's favorite side.

[Dubaby]

I will make myself go to this panel this year!!!! Last year I went for a few minutes, but had too leave before I got to really talk to anyone. =/

[Cyprus]

Where is it placed this time? My friend didn't get a badge so if it's in the main hotel, not so sure orz

_{*is dumb and should just go check the schedule*}

Looks like Saturday at 7:30 PM in Panel 2 (Galleria II)

Hope this helps

I might actually go to this panel finally.

Maybe, I'm not worth meeting, hahahaha. Obnoxious~

LIES! Jess & I had a lot of fun meeting you last holiday season when you were down here...look forward to a second meeting!

[Animeman73]

Hey Cyprus, I hope I get to the Meet-up because I'm hoping to see you again and find out what you've been up to since Sakuracon.

[soundninja12]

Niiki:
Chris is right! You're a lot of fun! And I look forward to seeing you again (although I'll do so at the SP shoot anyways )

I'm for sure coming. Last year I had to leave early, but not this year! Woo!

[Cyprus]

Hey Cyprus, I hope I get to the Meet-up because I'm hoping to see you again and find out what you've been up to since Sakuracon.

If not, I'm sure you will see me around the con space multiple times. My cosplay is hard to miss & there is a lot less space than Sakuracon.

[Washougal_Otaku]

@Washougal- We've met before :O It was very briefly though at the only K-con meeting I ever been to.

We have?  Which meeting are you talking about?

[DemonSpawn]

We only showed up for a little while last year but I'll come to this one!~ <3

[~boogiepop~]

@Washougal- We've met before :O It was very briefly though at the only K-con meeting I ever been to.

We have?  Which meeting are you talking about?

It was like, when kumoricon was still at the double tree, it was a really long time ago. I just remember you telling me who you were and then a bunch of people came up and were being annoying.

[Kimiski]

Hurray I get to go, finally!

[Washougal_Otaku]

I kind of remember that...

[TomtheFanboy]

Are you guys ready to tell me what I've been missing the last six months!?

[Gryffinclaw Princess]

Here I was all innocent and about to go to bed at such a decent hour but I checked the forums one more time.
Scrolling down a name caught my eye and I about had a heart attack from shock!

Tom, it's good to see you are alive.

[reppy]

TOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

[Cyprus]

O.o Tom? OMG...HE LIVES!!

[Kagome219]

/agrees with everyone else
Hurray! : D

[soundninja12]

OMG Tom we've missed you!
one thing that's happened is I'm trying to give you a run for your money for the 9th top poster!
*whistles*

[Washougal_Otaku]

Weren't you at the last couple of staff meetings...?

[Animeman73]

-Animeman comes riding into the thread on a white charger.-  I HAVE THE POCKY!!!! (Gives TomtheFanboy a friendly slap on the back.) Tom where in the name of the bloody blue blazes have you been man!?! We've missed you dude and I want to see you at Kumoricon. All my best to you and the Mrs.

[TomtheFanboy]

Thanks for the warm welcome.

Suffice to say my office now monitors our web browsing MUCH closer than they did last year.

So anyway. I had to work weekends a lot too so I couldn't get to the meetings so I vanished for awhile.

But now I'm back

from outer space

You just logged in to find me here with this look upon my face;

[oslapedo]

YEAHHHH TOM IN DA HOUSE

[TomtheFanboy]

That went well!

I'll have to do it again next year. Who knows. Maybe I'll have a real ban hammer!

[Cyprus]

I enjoyed the opportunity to meet people from the forums face to face & get some pictures too. Look forward to it next year!

[~boogiepop~]

I wish to be nominated for forum asshole.

No but for reals, that was kinda cool. We got kicked out for staying too long actually, hahaha.

[Cyprus]

I had to run away so I could change outta my cosplay & walk to Voodoo Doughnut with my HDC peeps & some other friends...not to mention Griff was there to help me carry my camera & stuff up to my room lol.

[DemonSpawn]

I had to split early because people were waiting for me upstairs but it was nice meeting everyone!

[FateChooseMe]

It was awesome seeing people in person.
:'D

[fleur_fraise]

Man I wish Nya and I got to stay longer, but we had to go to the cosplay contest pre-meeting which ended up taking way longer than we thought it would >:

[RoscoeTEHclam]

so, uh, tom? when ya gonna be putting up some video of that?

[TomtheFanboy]

When it gets editted fool!
The only reasons these other videos get up so fast is that I record them in 10-15 minute bites. Longer ones have to be cut down and some (like Strike One at the Shonen-Ai panel) have to actually be editted.


Oh, I should let everyone know that the Cosplay contest and Dating games will probably take the longest because I have to synch up audio. This will mean the finished product is even better though!

[TomtheFanboy]

So in 2011 I assure you there will be prizes.
It seems that since I wasn't at the panelist meeting I missed out on a couple things.


This means I gt to come up with some crazy stunts for you guys to do while people chat.

[fleur_fraise]

I can't wait for the Cosplay Contest video! I want to see my walk-on as well as the ones I missed, and I want to see the skits with good audio :3

[Animeman73]

Hey folks, it was great seeing y'all. Special shoutouts to Roscoe, Cyprus, Griff, Nikkolie, and Tom. I'm hoping that the next time the forum meets up will be in a time space where nothing's going on I'm eager to see all of you again.

[Higuma]

It was great seeing everyone again and meeting new faces. This is one of my favorite panels

[Cyprus]

I'm gonna make sure I don't have plans directly after this panel next year...& I'm not gonna be in my sweaty hot cosplay lol. That way I can hang out longer & socialize with more people...rather than weasel some pictures & run away lol.

I look forward to seeing you finished videos tom...I ran out of space for video at the cosplay contest so I wasn't able to get them all.

[nikkiolie]

I had fun. Though 08 was the best one, the spam! OH GOD THE SPAM!!!!!!!

[Classy Viking]

This was surprisingly far more chill than I had thought it would be. All in all it was pretty cool.

[camname21]

Hey all, if you did get a video of the cosplay contest please post it here!  http://www.kumoricon.org/forums/index.php?topic=13825.0   I'm looking forward to seeing tom's video, but for the time being any other video's will be much appreciated, thanks.

Sounds like everyone had a nice time at the forum meet up, I didn't make it but there is always next year

[RoscoeTEHclam]

i just thought of something i need to bring next year. I will "spam" the con

[Gryffinclaw Princess]

I am very glad I attended this event!
I got to meet so many awesome people like Koga, Griff, and Cyprus in person. I wish I had gone to this panel before this year but oh well.
I'm glad I met you awesome people and can't wait to see you all next year~<3

[Washougal_Otaku]

^ I was actually hoping to get to talk to you, but by the time I was able to, you were gone already.  Oh well.  I just wanted to know if you were doing Kyonko in a bunnygirl outfit still, and sorry that I wasn't Mikuru.

[Gryffinclaw Princess]

I didn't have time to make it but maybe I'll do a bunny girl next year?

[TomtheFanboy]

I look forward to seeing you finished videos tom...I ran out of space for video at the cosplay contest so I wasn't able to get them all.

I dunno how long that's gonna take. I don't want to upload the cosplay contest videos with sub-par audio.

I only ran out of space at closing. I made it that far by uploading videos to my laptop every couple of hours. Problem was I forgot to delete a batch before Closing.

I only missed one cosplay skit but my goof will be made up for I assure you.

[Washougal_Otaku]

I didn't have time to make it but maybe I'll do a bunny girl next year?

Well, I'm hoping to do it next year, too, maybe for just a few hours, you know, to make upfor my failure this year.

[TomtheFanboy]

Man, I didn't expect people to miss the spam that much!

I will have to bring at least one can next year I suppose.

[Kimiski]

I'd like to help
But I wont know until.... August 2011 xD When the schedule for Kcon 2011 comes out if I'll even be attending again or not.

[Washougal_Otaku]

Man, I didn't expect people to miss the spam that much!

I will have to bring at least one can next year I suppose.

YES YOU MUST!!!

[TomtheFanboy]

So does attending a panel that reeks of spam make the con-funk not seem so bad for the rest of the weekend?

[reppy]

To be honest, I didn't notice too much con funk this year.  But, that may have been because I doused myself in coconut lime body mist every chance I got.

[Gryffinclaw Princess]

D: Some people...had some serious funk.
When I was in line for pre-reg...I was down wind of a dead animal that needed at least five sticks of deodorant and two douses in a shower full of body wash.

Another time I was in an elevator and my friend and I were like, "I put on deodorant, you saw me..." It was heaven when we got out of there.

[Kimiski]

To be honest, I didn't notice too much con funk this year.  But, that may have been because I doused myself in coconut lime body mist every chance I got.

Leaving the KumoriBall to change, and come back for the Rave.... I thought my nose was going to explode D< ewww ick.

[Washougal_Otaku]

So does attending a panel that reeks of spam make the con-funk not seem so bad for the rest of the weekend?

...This kind of funk is fine, because it's yummy SPAM funk.  Ooh!  Maybe we could have the participants brush their teeth as part of the panel!

With spam?

[reppy]

GROSS!!!!!!!!!!!

That's kind of an awesome idea..

[DemonSpawn]

I smelled like pears and melon all weekend. YUM.

[Washougal_Otaku]

Well, that wasn't what I meant, but it would be funny!  I meant actually brushing their teeth, with real toothpaste and a genuine toothbrush.

[Gryffinclaw Princess]

I think it should be with spam. o 3o

Or you can blindfold them and spin them and they have to choose what to brush their teeth with. It's either spam or toothpaste. And they have to use what they grab.

[Washougal_Otaku]

^ Ooh, I like that...

[camname21]

Or you can blindfold them and spin them and they have to choose what to brush their teeth with. It's either spam or toothpaste. And they have to use what they grab.

Disturbing.

[reppy]

What about toothpaste flavored Spam?

[KogaRyu]

I luv this panel, it's the only one I go out of my way to attend.

[NeonFoxRocks]

I didn't like the panel this year compared to last years. I liked the programming last year, and it might have been because I was getting sick and not too social but when it was just a free for all for talking I kinda just left =P

[TomtheFanboy]

Sorry to hear that NeonFox, rest assured I will come up with a variety of crazy games for next year. Only one of which will involve Spam.

I will have to think of a super special contest to winn someone a 2010 Highlight DVD. I have too much footage for one disc so I'll only be able to pick a few things.

[Washougal_Otaku]

Also get the password from the hotel so we can access the forums! 

[DemonSpawn]

Wasn't there supposed to be contests this year? 'Cause I know we brainstormed about them. XD

[Washougal_Otaku]

Keep in mind that Tom wasn't on the forums for quite awhile...

[DemonSpawn]

Yeah~ That was like way a long time ago... before he left and before NightLotus left too. O.O Didn't even remember it until just now.

[TomtheFanboy]

Hey that's right, you guys were supposed to be running contests!

 

I could have gotten you all prizes if you had come prepare to run your contests!
notmyfaultnotmyfaultnotmyfaultnotmyfaultnotmyfaultnotmyfaultnotmyfaultnotmyfaultnotmyfaultnotmyfaultnotmyfaultnotmyfaultnotmyfaultnotmyfaultnotmyfault

[Washougal_Otaku]

HAHAHA!!!

[Nando-KiT]

is this for next k con?

[Washougal_Otaku]

I think it is now...

[Nando-KiT]

id like to go? Unless ppl hate me here too

[reppy]

Why do you get that idea Nando? I don't think I've ever seen anyone on these forums say anything bad or mean to you.

[Nando-KiT]

i just has a bda habit of maken ppl hate me. So its just stuck in my head ^^"

[Washougal_Otaku]

Lemme put it this way, I wouldn't give you anything sugary (or anything, for that matter) if I didn't like you.  I'm looking forward to meeting you face-to-face, so I hope you'll be there!  (I hope I'll be there, too!)

[Nando-KiT]

IM GOING. IM GOING. IM GOING. Hehehe sugar

[Washougal_Otaku]

^ YAY!!!!

[Nando-KiT]

are we just gona do any cosplay were in at that moment or what?

[Washougal_Otaku]

Yeah.  Typically, we just sit, talk about fun things, play games, browse the forums (if we can get internet access), and have fun!  Cosplay is okey-dokey, since this'll be at the con.

[Nando-KiT]

otay ;3   i has the forums on me cell. Plus hotel has wifi

[Washougal_Otaku]

The problem this year was that my provider wouldn't get through to the level we were on that year (which was the ballroom level), and we needed a hotel password to use their wi-fi, which our panelist didn't have one.

[Nando-KiT]

ask the desk ppl?

[Washougal_Otaku]

I think we tried.  I don't know about the panelist, but I called into other staff members to see if someone could get ahold of someone from the hotel.  Someone said they'd look into it, but I never got a final response from them.  Hopefully, this won't even be an issue next year.

[Nando-KiT]

that would be good

[TomtheFanboy]

Since internet was not provided, I went and got the password from the front desk. I paid for it in my hotel room so it was easy for me to get it in the meeting rooms.
I just had to go do so.

Next year I will check on internet before the convention starts. I have a feeling it will actually be less of a problem. I remember the 2007 room being easier to connect.

[Gryffinclaw Princess]

So, with the availability of internet next year, what exactly will we be doing with it?

[TomtheFanboy]

So, with the availability of internet next year, what exactly will we be doing with it?

Posting on the forums of course. I'll have at least one prize for a forum thread and one prize for doing something else with the forum.

How many people are able to post on the kumoricon forum from their smart phones?

[reppy]

We will collectively troll the forums! TOGETHER! IN THE SAME ROOM! OMGGGGGGG!

(I can post from my phone.)

[Gryffinclaw Princess]

I can post on my phone!!! 8D

[Gryffinclaw Princess]

I can post on my phone!!! 8D

[Cyprus]

I can post from my phone too!

[Gryffinclaw Princess]

Sorry for the double post. That is one issue with my phone...I cant edit. ^^;

[FateChooseMe]

Yeaah!
Phone postage!

[RoscoeTEHclam]

I can post from my stupid ipod

[Nando-KiT]

we can so play twister

[Washougal_Otaku]

^ That'd be awesome!!!

[Gryffinclaw Princess]

That would be difficult for a lot of girls who are normally not in pants at cons...

[reppy]

And then there's the crossplayers.. >__<

[camname21]

Its their fault for wearing a skirt, they should be forced to play just for the fan service    jkjk (That would probably be real bad seeing how a lot of people are under 18)

[soundninja12]

I say Twister would be a lot of fun! If you happen to be wearing a skirt, then don't play. I'm sorry to say, I really don't want to see your panties xD

[Washougal_Otaku]

If I was crossdressing as a character in a skirt, I'd still play Twister.

After being a bunnygirl and getting my butt slapped by random teenage girls, and wrestling in front of thousands of people in a tight singlet, this game idea doesn't sound too bad.

Besides, people that don't wanna play don't have to play.

[Nando-KiT]

hehe yay! I shall bring it then

[Pots]

charades is always fun

[Nando-KiT]

what is?

[reppy]

It's the game I play whenever I'm introduced to a new girl.  Or, you may know it by its alternative name: pretend to be a far more interesting and exciting person than you actually are.

(I'm joking, of course.. sort of.)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charades

[Gryffinclaw Princess]

It would be awesome if we had a Forum based apples to apples!
I just got so many ideas for what the cards could be. I wish I had the money to buy the blank sets so I could make a deck. :/

[reppy]

I think one of the forum members here made a con Apples to Apples.  His name escapes me right now.  I know he frequently cosplays as Link.

Crap, can't believe I forgot his name. ;<

I wanna say it's like . . Radien?  ^^;;

[Pots]

ooh I love apples to apples I have set at home

[Gryffinclaw Princess]

I know there is a con version but I want to make a forum version.
With words like Troll and Spam.
And have people like Tom, oslapedo, Nikki, and the other top people that everyone knows.
And then have like...Spoon Castle and stuff like that. Ya know...?

[reppy]

Whenever me and my friends play Apples to Apples, it gets a little out of hand and .. it's not safe for most people to witness. ^^;;

If a forums version is even half as good as that .. yeah, buddy.

But how do we make sure as many people as possible get to play and/or watch?

[Pots]

^{advertisment you need someone to draw in the crowd}

[Nando-KiT]

oh oh oi i will   not do it

[Gryffinclaw Princess]

Reppy, just like with every game, not everyone can play.
It's a lesson you learned in grade school. ;P It's called taking turns. People take turns and wait until it is their turn to play.

It's just like life. You have to take turns.

[Nando-KiT]

what if ur like me and tend not to share . . . sometimes

[TomtheFanboy]

Twister.... eh... I don't think there will be room. We'll see what rooms get assigned to panels next year.

I suspect that we will be having the panel upstairs at the Hilton. Now that I have the numbers in front of me there's actually a good chance of us having plenty of room! 

[Washougal_Otaku]

Ahh... old maps... good times...

[Nando-KiT]

im debating on going or not. Right now its more of a not

[DemonSpawn]

Your loss, we're pretty coo' people.

[FateChooseMe]

^ Agreed.

[Animeman73]

Tom, I have a bit of a challenge for you. Well your video on your Youtube Channel which showed the area around the Downtown Hilton was a stroke of genius. And I was wondering when we start to approach the con if you would do something like that for the Hilton and Red Lion. I remember in 2007 everything was great but for the life of me, I could NOT FIND the Quiznos that was advertised around there. So I was wondering if you could possibly do a run through of the area around the lines of what you did for the Portland Downtown Hilton. I think a lot of people including myself would appreciate it. When you get the time of course.

[Washougal_Otaku]

There isn't a Quizno's in downtown Vancouver.  The closest one to the 2011 site would be in the area known as Van Plaza, which is just SW of the Vancouver Mall.  I'm thinking that you're either thinking of KCon '08, which there was a Quizno's nearby, or the case with '07 in which there is a Subway on the other side of Ester Short Park.

[reppy]

Are you sure? I swear I remember visiting one during '07.

[Pots]

maybe they replaced it : )

[Washougal_Otaku]

Are you sure? I swear I remember visiting one during '07.

To be honest, I thought that there was a small one in the area, too.  However, I looked on google maps, as well as Quizno's website, to confirm this.  I also looked in the latest phone book.  It only had one in Vancouver, the one in Fisher's Landing (the Van Mall one did just re-open recently).

[reppy]

Weiiiiiird.  I swear I remember eating there.  It was just around the corner a little bit from the Farmer's Market thing they had going on there.  Maybe it was a Subway?  ;<  I dunno. XD

[Pots]

i dont even remember anything from that area :O

[Washougal_Otaku]

Weiiiiiird.  I swear I remember eating there.  It was just around the corner a little bit from the Farmer's Market thing they had going on there.  Maybe it was a Subway?  ;<  I dunno. XD

I'm thinking that it may have closed, because I had a feeling that there was one down there.  You know what, reppy?  Since we both live in Vancouver, I think we should look for it, just to make sure!

[DemonSpawn]

I feel so left out. T~T I wasn't at '07 and everyone's so excited and I'm missing so much. O:

[Nando-KiT]

i missed 07 went to 08 missed 09 and i went to 10. Wow i wonder if i go to next of coure i will i must break the pattern

[TomtheFanboy]

I am most definitely going to be doing a walkabout/driveabout with my video camera downtown. In fact I plan on recording the drive from the point we cross the I5 bridge so you can all be familiar with the exit and the streets to get to the convention. I also plan to record myself huffing and puffing as I a do a real time walk down the street from the Hilton to the Red Lion. Out of shape Tom is a much better approximation of a tired cosplayer than most other cameramen. Rest assured I will be doing much more research.

This just isn't the place to discuss it.

Thanks Tom you're a marvel. All my best to you and the Mrs.

I have missed this panel every year I've known about it due to scheduling nonsense. I'm hoping this time I can actually make it.

[Washougal_Otaku]

I hear ya on that; I'm glad I was able to make it in 2010.

[Nando-KiT]

there was one in 10? Aw i missed it

[Washougal_Otaku]

Yeah, it was in the Ballroom level of the main tower, not too far from where Opening & Closing ceremonies took place.

[DemonSpawn]

Pretty much the ONLY room where my cell worked down there. >.< I got like four phone calls and kept runnin' out. XD Was fun though.

Maybe next year I will wear a cosplay that leaves me more freedom to use my camera lol...

[Washougal_Otaku]

It helps...

[Cyprus]

Ya...there will be a lot of changes done to that costume before Kumoricon though so it might not be as bad.
