I had a question for the person in charge of Kumori's Cosplay Chess. I sent a PM, but never got a response.

For the second year in a row, I'm going to be working the Sakura-Con booth as industry. Will this prevent me from participating in Cosplay Chess or not?

Sorry for the delay in my replies, guys.. other deadlines have been keeping this on the back burner :(

I've sent out replies today to all the registrations I have received... if you have not received an e-mail, I did not receive your form. (Except for you, Syd.. I did get your form in the mail, but with no pic like you thought.  If you can e-mail or mail it, that would be great. Or bring to a gen mtg.)

Bob - go ahead and submit your cosplay, we'll just mark it as other.  It's the quality of the cosplay that is important :)

Nikkiolie - you can submit more than one cosplay.  If you have a strong preference on which you would like to use, please let me know.. otherwise, it gives me options on the make-up of the teams.

Wind - As long as it doesn't conflict with duties on your end, and you can make the pre-meet, you are more than welcome to participate in Cosplay Chess :)  The more the merrier.

Thanks for all your patience, guys.  If you have any other questions, let me know.

I sent in my other entry. I don't care about one over the other, just whatever one will work best with the teams.

Thanks for dealing with all our questions. Keep up the good work and I'm sure you are really busy.

Cool, cool. It shouldn't.

Sorry for all the questions. I'm just curious about things.

It's just... I have one costume that I can use, it's finished and really popular with people. And the other is brand new and still pretty popular, from my discussions with people about it.

But, what if the costume we want to enter in isn't done yet? It's about half done, but my camera is currently MIA. Do you want us to wait until we finish the costume and are able to take pictures, or just apply anyways?

Wind - your costume needs to be mostly complete (maybe lacking a wig, or something small) before you submit it, but you still have plenty of time.

Bob - unless they are part of your costume (or are smiley faces), you probably should be wearing pants.. we are a PG-13 con :D

Okay thanks. I've got some small sewing left to do and it's done. Once I get my camera back from my sister's boyfriend (long story about that) I'll take a picture to send it in. I'm missing my wig and holster at this point in time. I just don't know how recognizable I'll be without the wig. I'm also worried that not many people will recognize me in this particular outfit. I mean, everyone I've talked to about this costume is enthusiastic about it... But I'm just worried about the likeliness of being recognized.

My interest in this has been renewed! I have, perhaps a dumb question though. Do our cosplay for this need to be 100% hand made?

Nope.  It doesn't matter if you made it yourself, or bought it.

Well, it looks like I wont be able to enter the cosplay chess this year. I'll have my Wario cosplay done by Kumoricon, but not soon enough to enter the Cosplay chess. *Sigh*, well there's always next year. At least I have a chance to be in the Anime Dating game this year.

Got it :)

Okay, latest batch of form e-mails went out tonite... if you didn't get an e-mail, I haven't received your forms, so you need to send them again. (I did have a chess piece/special attack mailed in, but the e-mail bounced back, so if you see this, can you e-mail me at chess@kumoricon.org)

do do do do doooo *wondering bout pieces and stuff* lol do do do doooo

You'll find out the week before con.. gimme a break, I got a lot of stuff to do between now and then :P

Oh, I will be going back thru this thread when I am a bit more coherent, but if you are interested in being a chess master, can you PM or e-mail me?  Tell me you experience playing chess, and what you are planning on cosplaying.

Thanks :)

I'm sorry if this has already been asked... I was wondering though, if we're trying out for several characters do we send multiple emails or do we just send one with everything in it?

Also in the "series" line there's not enough room for "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya" x( Will "TMoHS" be acceptable?

Edit: Sorry one more question T_T For "Special Attacks" do we list the name of our attack or do we describe it? And should we have more than one?

So if a weapon is too large to be peacebonded it can't be in Chess, can it? Gawd, Lavi-chan won't be too particularly happy.

"Just to clarify - I was looking through the online application rules, and it said that the deadline was the 22nd.. Is that true? Because I've heard everywhere that it's the 20th. I'm just checking." ^^;;

Deadline is Friday, the 22nd. (And depending on how many registrations I receive by then, I may accept a couple of days after that).

Sorry about the timing, guys... it's our last big event of the weekend, otherwise Monday would be kinda slow :).  If you need to work hotel check-out around the pre-meet, let me know and we will figure something out.

I'm sorry if this has already been asked... I was wondering though, if we're trying out for several characters do we send multiple emails or do we just send one with everything in it?

Edit: Sorry one more question T_T For "Special Attacks" do we list the name of our attack or do we describe it? And should we have more than one?

One e-mail is fine, but please do a separate form for each.  And either "TMoHS" or "Haruhi Suzimya" is fine.

You don't have to have a special attack... the reason for that line is if you have a special attack that involves another cosplayer that you will "summon" for it.  Like if you're Ash, and you "summon" Pikachu (which I actually would like to see ;D)

So if a weapon is too large to be peacebonded it can't be in Chess, can it? Gawd, Lavi-chan won't be too particularly happy.

If you can't peacebond it, it won't be allowed in the chess match, sorry.
