Quote from: "Radien"

Hmm, how about this:

- Never shout "Of COURSE it's real!!!" within earshot of con security.


Along those lines, another one not to say too loudly.. "Hey! You can get away with that! It's not peace-bound under your name! Have at you!"

Yeah, I found that out while just making a joke to my friend. Whew.. Con security was just about ready to kill then..

Not a good idea to yell that while pointing at anyone in any controvertial costumes...

Or anyone over 150lbs...

Never ask a school-girl or Sailor Moon cosplayer to lift their skirt.

Sorry but I like to write. Alot. When I'm bored. Gennerally what I say is interesting or entertaining but I don't have an editor, so I don't know. Anyhow I'm in the habit of writing long messages so if I'm off today, skip this, or just seek amusement from my unique spelling.

I genneraly have no idea what not to say despite my many experiances in offending people.

But I do know that if you say anything bad about Final Fantasy VII I will hunt you down and bop you with a paper towel roll or if none are available I will ninja slap you with a fly swatter (I'd clean the fly swatter first or it would be disgusting).

Judging from what a lot of people have said about groping I'm glad I decided against making a miroku costume.

Other than color coded name tags (minors are red right?) how can I recognize minors in a group. I don't have a very strong grasp on the concepts of time or age so have had some suprizes. An odd experiance is being in a chatroom where a few guys are flirting with this chick whose screename is "sexy(something I forgot)" and after about 10 minutes she is kind enough to mention she is 13 (I'm 18 in case you wondered. I laughed, gasped, vomited and choked on my ramen all at the same time (I am in fact dead now thank you very much).

So I'm working on my Ebisu (Pervert Senin from naruto) costume and would appreciate if someone could help me come up with a non-offensive way of asking the ladies to help me recreate the harem no jutso scene (simply out of appreciation for the naruto manga) :wink: .

Is anyone else disturbed by all these hot anime characters that are minors? Maybe I'm just getting freaked out because some characters that I thought were hot are now younger than me. Tifa's like 23 or something right? At least I'll have Tifa for about four more years before I draw even with her.

Someone pls PM me about the chair thing. I was thinking it was just because all the time I was at sakura-con I never once saw an acual chair.

Well TTYL peoples.

Viva la ninja!

Kei Kei I whap you across the head with a cardboard paper towel roll. You having recieved the whap of shame may never become a true ninja. Unless you give me 5 bucks or are a chick willing to help me recreate the harem no jutso scene.

"why should we include that, its not anime" (thing i like about cons is that its a melting pot of fun stuff, including some technicly non anime stuff)
and i know this was mentioned before but 'japanaime, when some says that its like scraching a chalk board, spoons in garbage disposil,

Bah, if you were a ninja you wouldn't need to log on because the forum would fear you. And all would tremble at the terrifying name of 'guest'!!!

Amen,

At a con, people may decide to live out their fantasies and perhaps not make the best costume choice for their body.  Or perhaps they don't know how they could have modified the costume to make it more flattering for them.

Please give these people a BREAK!  It's amazing how acute your hearing becomes if you are a little bit uncomfortable in what you are wearing and even comments said a good distance away can be heard.  If you really are that mean of a person that has to say, "Did you see all the pimples that Yuna had!" or something like that, save it for your room or someplace private.


I know, one of my friends heard someone saying how much they hated who she was cosplaying as at SakuraCon this year. It's not cool.

But that doesn't happen too often, people at the cons are usually pretty nice people!~ ^^
