    ITT: Things your ideal convention would have.

    And also, things real conventions should not have.

    my ideal convention would 1. last 7 days. 2. Heated pool. 3. Free food 4. all hotel rooms are suites and are affordably cheap. 5. Complimentary Breakfast or for the hell of it a kitchen nook in the room.

    that's all i'd need

    Things conventions should not have:

    1. Overly fat girls dressed in extremely skimpy outfits that show a lot of their stretch-marked flesh.

    2. Glompers.

    We can't forbid visitors to enter cons dressed as they want, but we can make rules for contests forbidding fat people.

    Would this be discrimination?

    No, no. Not forbidding fat people.
    I just think if a cosplayer is particularly heavier then they should cover up more.

    Cons could have on their rules "appropriate clothes" and immediatly elliminate anyone deemed as innapropriate or something... But that would create a bad environment.

    So maybe there should be a really agressive juri that said stuff to the contestants as "you're fat" and "you're fucking ugly" and "you should go off and die" instead of "you should get clothes that fit your body"

    That's not entirely true. There are certain dress codes at some cons, one which caused a stir recently with a Lum cosplayer I believe? Anyway, the way to get Hip's rule enforced is to also ban the ones who would look amazing in those outfits as well. Blanket dress code, oh well.

    My ideal con would have a schedule it sticks to and doesn't change times or start late, have several frozen yogurt stands (D23 did, do any of the other Anaheim cons have this as well?), and a quiet room. Basically some place you could shut your eyes for a few minutes where being quiet would be enforced, a place to get away from the noise.

    There's a lot more, but without going crazy, I'd like to make reasonable suggestions. Though things starting on time seems a bit of a nonsensical suggestion, come to think of it.

    I don't mean to enforce a rule against overweight cosplayers at all.

    Yes! Then it would make the contests even more entertaining and it would make people understand that they should not wear some things without having to expel them.

    But that's for those going on contests, it's still a brainfuck to control those who are just visiting.

    Oh gosh, that would make cons more exciting but at the end of the day about 80% of people attending the con would have gone home leaving only 19% of the fit and attractive cosplayers left.

    Speaking of those who are worried about hitting on Jailbait, how about color coded badges? Like a red hue for 18+ and a blue hue for below that. I mean, it wouldn't work in all circumstances I'm sure, but it could help some folks at least.

    Don't know about US cons but UK cons have had age-related colour coded badges for some time, although admittedly they're more for the purpose of reassuring the venue bars that they won't be selling alcohol to minors and making sure no-one underage gets into the hentai room or buys porn.

    Of course, our cons are pretty tiny compared to US cons so maybe it's not workable anyway.

    I see how that could be a good thing only relating to pictures. So we don't go photographing minors in slutty clothes, post online and then be accused of porn.

    Also cons here don't sell alcohol. Actually, they don't even have food, much less alcohol. But I still think it's a good idea to keep it out the con, so it is fully taken as a market trading place (with fun included)

    A con with dances and concerts attending by people who aren't socially retarded and unable to dance or move at all. If there is a concert with a heavier band playing, I want to at least be able to mosh a little bit. If you want to watch the concert, cool, stand off to the side or back a bit further. If there is a rave, I would like to do a small amount of drugs and dance in a room full of people dancing, not dance by myself in a room full of people standing around doing nothing. That shit is lame.

    Also, no fucking glomp games. Not sure how far that shit has gotten, but at least in the NW it happened at SakuraCon and Anime Evolution.

    I feel sorry for you, it happens because most people at cons don't know anything that matters. If I were you, I'd research OL first, get to make some friends outside the con world and get stuff through them.

    Also, I don't agree with drugs inside con. Outside con it's ok, but inside it only disturbs everyone that is focused doing something. It fucks me up completely when I am trying to be in character (I take this shit seriously) and someone is smoking weed, with that delicious smell, right next to me.

    many people i know go to network and meet someone to hook up with, usually at a later date because of the room thing, but yeah. i have a male friend who is for some reason very good with women who doesn't buy himself hotel rooms because he assumes he will find one to stay in. many of our room parties with mainly female attendees have turned into sort of half-orgies: bras, panties, molestations and hickies for all. it's not amazingly easy but a lot of people go to hook up and if you managed to get an acutally empty room you could probably manage arranging some sex to fill it with, assuming you are not oozing puss or 500 lbs or some other amazingly shy, socially awkward thing.

    Hyatt, Merriot, and Hilton are not luxury, they're standard. Budget motels are cheap because they cut back on important issues like cleanliness, building maintenance, janitorial duties, location, and security. Ever notice how every motel has a trailer park or ghetto next door?

    Regarding camping, I highly doubt any hotel would allow that. Also, wtf would happen when there's costumers abound when they're surrounded by pup tents?

    The space around it is very versatile (has hotels to one side, bars and clubs to the other, a giant supermarket 100 meters away and a huge empty area that is usually used for camping at a music festival). However, the hotels are Hilton and above (I think Hilton is there as well), while the decent hotels - 3 stars, clean sheets, with breakfast and lunch - are further in the city.

    But ok, no camping. I'll try to convince the owners of the uber-expensive hotels to make a group discount.

    I seriously doubt it, but some sort of protection for the elevators?
    Elevator break all the damn time thanks to retarded fuckers who think they're funny. Six people jumping on the elevator in unison will kill it for the weekend.

    Would a "NO JUMPING" sign just encourage them?
    Is it too much to have a staff member policing the elevators?

    It might actually work to deter some of that faggotry. Roped traction elevator controllers are very dedicated constant velocity servo devices, if they go out of lock, the whole fucking thing shuts down immediately.

    I think some signs that say "YOU WILL GET TRAPPED IN THIS ELEVATOR FOR HOURS BREATHING EVERYONE'S STINKY FANPERSON FUNK IF YOU JUMP. PLEASE STAND STILL" would be just peachy.

    Also, some elevators just plain overheat after a while, particularly hydraulic elevators without oil coolers (fairly typical on little 2-4 floor installations and small parking garages). Can't do much about that other than to encourage people to use the stairs. I believe Otakon doesn't let you use the BCC elevators at all unless you have a physical disability that'd keep you from climbing a flight of stairs.

    >> Anonymous 10/05/09(Mon)20:57 No.2212835
    I think every large con could and should do this:

    Masquerade skit screening.

    For example, AX. They heard every single one of the audios. They can hear if it's a Hare Hare Yukai, or a Carmelldansen, or is a stupid yaoi skit. They throw the obvious ones out.

    Then, say, they have a few that have elements that could be considered yaoi / overdone dance faggotry, but due to the audio it's hard to tell whether it is or not.

    They notify all the participants that passed the first round that 'eliminations' will be done the night before Masquerade. In this time, con staff makes sure everyone in the skit knows what to do, and the skit / walkon is actually pulled off nicely without it looking like shit (i.e. they all practiced it). They eliminate those that look like shit.

    The night of the masquerade, the watered-down list maybe only be ten or fifteen skits long, with a few iffy ones that just barely passed put in there.

    That leaves time for decent Masquerade halftime shows.

    Cosplay contests by category for cash prizes, you will get some good stuff.
    The things you need for this....money, can never have enough. Cheap Con tickets, the less the price the more people you get. Remember the most successful cons are family oriented.

    Not have:

    Fortunately this is not America. Here couldn't care the fucking less about the mental health of little children. We also don't care that little children are exposed to animated tits as long as their parents take them. The theory is "parents have the responsability, if they are stupid to bring the children it's their fault and we should laugh at them as they fail when their5 y/o asks"why are the boys kissing?""

    Therefore, we're also planning a place for children to stay and play and not bother, as many "parents" really like comics and it would be a shame if they could not come and spend a little.

    I can also reveal that, unlike anything that has ever happened on this area of the globe, the con is fully orientated to the dealers. But I am a really kind person amongst the team and am trying to satisfy the most desired needs of the visitors (which are still the most important part).

    I know this is a stretch, but maybe a con that would band revealing costumes. Like no showing the mid section and your skirt/shorts have to at least go to your finger tips. That would eliminate some costumes, but also be easy on the eyes. Maybe in less drama.

    these. color coded badges and a child friendly area children under 10 are not allowed to leave without parent.

    more stuff to do! maybe some panels that teach how to make something? like something small and awesome that you might have to pay to be in, but not something super expensive. multiple pinatas if you're having them so i don't almost get trampled trying to grab a fucking lolipop. food on site, either a hotel with an affordable restaurant or a booth in the dealer's room that sells something like cup noodles and hot water. more sellers who make homeade things like clothing, art, etc. they're my favorite part of the dealers rooms. manga and pocky and games are good, but some of the cheap plastic crap dealers sell is kinda meh. possibly a twitter account to let people know when they need to sign up for things that won't be available during the con... i've been to several cons that had one small thread in their forums and used that as the only way to inform people of things like when pre-reg was open or what the deadline for the cosplay contest or special events was. shit sux. OMAKE EVENTS and ROOM PARTIES should be encouraged. they're always fun. some "family friendly cons" in my area *cough nobrandcon cough* are seriously cracking down on omake events like the hentai room that was run every year, even when they check ids, because either one fucking kid might see something or because "ZOMG it MAKES NOISE AND THE HOTEL DOESN'T LIEKS ITT!" hotels make a shitload of money from cons and many of them have been known to book a hotel solid during an off season month very far in advance. if they want to take our money they need to quit whining about the noise. that's one of the reasons i prefer cheap hotels...

    nah, less revealing than mormon-chan suggested. just like, no fucking cosplayers with pastes. i think color coded badges could help solve this problem... if someone's doing something inappropriate with someone underage, you can immediately know and be like "hey, she's not old enough."

    i don't think revealing clothing is as big a problem as this thread thinks it is. most cons i've been to only include one or two females wearing something very revealing, and it usually has more coverage than a bikini. people need to grow the fuck up about it. girl skin does not compel you to do stupid shit. girls need to understand if they're wearing a revealing costume, people will look. if they don't want people to look, wear something else. if they get fresh with you, smack them or go away. guys mainly seem to be pretty good about it. there are a few douchebags, though.

    While I think nudity should be kept in check, anime/manga has a certain amount of smut. Girls in short skirts, lepard bikinis, some pedo-friendly elements. So, not so much what should be ok for kiddies to see at a con, as should your kiddie be watching anime/manga if they are too young for some cleavage, belly button, and side boob!!!

    You take your kid to the pool or the beach, so whats so offensive about seeing a pink haired cat girl in a bikini at a con.

    I think it's more of a mass-hysteria thing than anything. Here nobody cares. Yeah, baby saw some vagina. So what? They freak more about violence (ie. blood) than nudity.

    Age tags only seem good to me because of the photoshoots. Underage are under some creepy rules about abusing their image rights and their parents have to sign stuff. Which also takes underage running around wobbling their vulva: if your parents don't allow it, it's not appropriate enough.

    Add on: we're thinking of organizing an extra party at a club of the area (100 meters away), if any of the clubs of the area accepts losing their guido freak clients to coloured wigs. Drugs are not much of a problem for us, in either way. Anyone that knows me just needs to talk to me. Too bad not many people know me.
