If you submitted and don't see your name here, you are on the alternate list (also known as the Red Team.)  If there is time, we may have a second game.

As a reminder, all players must attend the mandatory pre-meeting at 10:30am Monday morning unless you have made prior arrangements with me.  If you are not there by 10:45, you will be replaced on the board. If you have special attacks, they must be present as well.  

If you are not on the list, and are hoping to be a part of the Red Team, this is the time for you to be waiting outside the door (pieces will be selected by 11am, if we are to have any).  Remember, there are no guarantees there will be a second game.

If your cosplay is not complete, you may be replaced.

I will be emailing notifications out tomorrow.. most likely tomorrow night.  If you have any questions, or decide you no longer wish/can participate, please let me know via e-mail or PM, or you can talk to me at con (someone is bound to know where I am).

And now... let the trash talk begin!  Grin  See you guys this weekend!

Edit 1 - Corrected Rikku version... I always gotta make at least one change, right?

[nikkiolie]

WOOT KNIGHT!

[nikkiolie]

Also, just double checking, you wanted Rikku with the orange top not the bikini top correct?

[Jamiche]

Did I write the wrong game?  Bikini top, please

[nikkiolie]

Alright sounds good. I was like "aww I planed out attack for the wrong one" but that is perfect. I'm supper excited. I am going to finish up my blades and practice a lot with them :3

BTW seeing how white team always wins I guess that means you guys should just give up

[Yatta Dante]

White Team will be no match for my Black Team!  Bwahahaha!  Zero shall command his minions to victory!

Now, White King, I need to speak with you.  PM me upon seeing this post.

[sk_chan]

Wheatley = our chess master = we're all doomed.

...I love it. XD

[sk_chan]

Also, as I said in my app, it's okay that if perchance I survive a battle (...although doubtful since I'm a pawn), that my special attack and I can become one piece, correct?

[chelseahavoc]

heck yes freak out over wheatly<3<3<3<3<3<3<3

[dark4ever]

Rook! Eff yeah! First year! 8D SO excited to attack some video game peeps!

[Jacob_Blackfeather]

[Jacob_Blackfeather]

I am actually quite suprised myself but it is ciel in the ballroom outfit lol

Ahahaha xD So great~

However I do have to figure out some moves because I am alone lol maybe sex apeal will work.

[luvan1me]

you can ask at the Kuroshitsuji photoshoot if someone would be willing to be your sebastian in the cosplay chess?

[SweetSuguri]

You kill me xD Or just make a pawn do your dirty work! We have Ash Ketchum, you can say Ash, I CHOOSE YOU!

[Jacob_Blackfeather]

you can ask at the Kuroshitsuji photoshoot if someone would be willing to be your sebastian in the cosplay chess?

my sebastian is the stein that is our chess master i will try to as though OwO if not I can be adorably sweet.

[SweetSuguri]

Hmmm...I think my friend is Sebastian day three...maybe...uh

OH! Just yell "Sebastian!!!!" And then look around, not finding him and go "Fine, ASH! I CHOOSE YOU!!!!"

[Jacob_Blackfeather]

rofl that sounds like a good idea lol

[luvan1me]

lol you could do that too XD but i love it when characters stay in character >3> instead of being sweet, be "Sexy" XD

[SweetSuguri]

Hahaha
You could say it sweetly, or sexily, it doesn't matter xD Just do something awesome!

[Jacob_Blackfeather]

[Gryffinclaw Princess]

Excited to see this play out. I didn't put in my name to join but still excited to see you guys.
But...VOCALOID is not an anime. :/ It IS a video game though.

Yeah, technically, it is...
Well, mine's from a PV, so actually I AM from an "anime," of sorts.
And Miku has been in anime form, so let's not be too harsh on Jamiche, who's been working so hard ^^'

And what she said
                                                                                               v

[luvan1me]

@black: lol you could go like "you are so handsome, and your *pause* butt looks ravishing!" and then turn around and look like you are vomiting (finger in mouth thing lol)


@gryffin: it is a manga though, and i'm guessing she's putting anime/manga/show in the same category since video games is really broad in itself. and i know they have a video game for vocaloids, but it's a voice program, more than anything. and since most of the things vocaloids are in, are AMV's, and music videos, they are technically considered anime (animation)

[Raveen92]

But what character am I alting as ?

[Jacob_Blackfeather]

OMG yes that would be amazing OwO

[Raveen92]

What about Doctor Who, it's not Anime its a TV Show O.O

[SweetSuguri]

What about Doctor Who, it's not Anime its a TV Show O.O

Probably anything you want~ Or maybe ask Jamiche about it... Hmmm...
But it's such a shame you won't be in it this year T-T I was so excited

[Gryffinclaw Princess]

Not trying to be harsh...just saying. This way she'll know for years to come.
VOCALOID is a voice simulation system (for those who don't know) and have never been made into an anime. The characters are designed in anime fashion as is normal for Japanese merchandise & advertising. American VOCALOIDs have the same look so they don't stand too far away from the more popular Japanese ones.
However, there have been a few video games created based off of them. The most well known is Project Diva in which a lot of PVs are played. The characters are even sometimes given respective outfits. JBF is one of the songs played and the dress from that PV can be worn. (Here's a proof link - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HX7A5da0epg )

Again, I'm not trying to be harsh or mean. I'm just trying to inform. I'm not saying she has to change it or anything. Just informing her that there is a category for them since I know in past years they were confused as to where to put VOCALOIDs because the Video Game had not been widely known.

[nekovamp13]

Dang....A pawn.
Why is Gaara a Pawn D<
SAND COFFIN!!!

Nah, I'm okay with it. Means I get to attack more -w-

[Raveen92]

I know, the same thing about not making it T.T (But at least she didn't skip over mine this year)



Next year I should get someone to be my Hikaru to my Fujiwara no Sai (If I cosplay him)

[linachan]

Man why is the great Lina Inverse stuck being a pawn!..owell at least I made the team..white team feel the wrath of my fireball wahaha > : )

[chelseahavoc]

you have a point luv.

moe power to jam though for dealing with all of us lol

[linachan]

"Hehe I am just curious who I am going to get to fight"

[dark4ever]

Holy **** I am queen!!!! heck yes I will so totally do my best!

VOCALOID is one of those weird things, not really in any category... but anime is what was selected on their reg form, so I went with it (and no, I'm don't know a lot about it, so info is fine )

What about Doctor Who, it's not Anime its a TV Show O.O

Probably anything you want~ Or maybe ask Jamiche about it... Hmmm...
But it's such a shame you won't be in it this year T-T I was so excited

The anime category is inclusive of manga, anime, TV... basically anything not video game... just easier to say anime   An no, it's not strictly an anime cosplay.... but it is a well-done cosplay, which is why it was was chosen.  It is also one that has not been in Cosplay Chess before... this year, I tried to include cosplays we haven't seen in action before.

But what character am I alting as ?

I did not list the alt characters, mainly because it was really late   If people prefer I list those, I can... it will probably later tonite, after I send out the emails.

[dark4ever]

Of course. But only if you give me a first rate laaaaaaaaugh ;3

yes just a bit I will try to find a good joke for you I ma not really good at them lol

The Ciel that's in my cosplay group couldn't make me laugh... Only the girl who was supposed to be Sebastian could. Go figure xD

[Jacob_Blackfeather]

we need a sebastain lol

[dark4ever]

GOD we do... there should be a ton at the photoshoots. Will you be at either of them? Our group will only be at the second one, since we're going to be at opening ceremonies...

[CLAP_attack]

Anime peeps' make me prooud :,D i was lazy this year to join.
Maybenext year we'll have good vs. evil . I'll try and swap cosplays for it ~
