no guns

'no cracks front or back'

seriously, do they even watch anime?

no nazi cosplay

Op's pic reminded me.

I'm pretty sure I remember hearing that at Kumoricon last year no part of your face was allowed to be obscured, and some Code Geass cosplayer pretty much said to them "tough shit, this is glued to my face."

No Schrödinger cosplay.

not nazis.

just Schrödinger the character.

>>3095522
I've seen a girl kicked out of a con because her fake-ass tommy gun didn't have a 'holster'.

poor girl, he costume was pretty cool

>>3095546
That makes it worse

>>3095536

I got around that my saying my eyepatch wasn't part of my costume. That shut the security guard up right quick, lemme tell you what.

Sakuracon has a pretty much unwritten rule that if you're banned from the forums you may as well be banned from the convention.

>>3095542
this was at Anime Epo or something, right? That was fucking retarded.
They must be Catholic.

>>3095536
Same here. At PMX I had my Pedo Bear mascot suit, and security treated me like a fucking terrorist. Best thing to do in that situation is to carry the head around and only wear it for pictures. But once I met head of security and the hotel manager they turned out to be bros and all was cool. I'd probably suggest checking in with security so they know it's you and not Habeeb Derka Derk.

Also why has nobody mentioned AX? No signs and asking for hugs gets you reported for solicitation? That's like asking people not to go to the con.

>>3095552
>Schrodinger

durr huur hurrr

no slutty costumes

even at dragoncon they tell bitches to get dressed

>>3095542
So if I walk around with a cat in a box I'll get kicked out?

>>3095562
do ITTTTT

>>3095556
the problem is people were 1 getting hurt by large signs, 2 a lot of the signs were Will do A for B which was classified as prostitution (dumbest thing ever but it beats a million people talking about doing sexual favors for a piece of pocky)

shit's crazy lol.

>>3095556
fuck your signs, this is the only rule I love.

>>3095575
>sexual favors for a piece of poky

cheap whores. do it for the whole box

How about: No fun, no props, no elaborate big costumes.

>>3095576
This. So. Hard.

>>3095556
you know I hate to be a dick but I am glad signs are banned.
I mean, I think they should make an exception for cosplays that require a sign (see Stan from the Monkey Island series or Genma from Ranma 1/2) but seriously the signs were becoming a nuisance and at times wildly inappropriate for a family atmosphere ( "I will suck your cock for manga" being one saying that stands out particularly in my memory)

>>3095789
>>3095576
I think the only people who are upset about this rule have not finished high school. -_-

We had some conventions where they checked your luggage/bag and even went as far as to rummage around a girl's underwear in front of everyone else.
They threw away bottles, hairspray, deodorants and behaved like complete dicks towards you.
Seemed to me like ConcentrationCon.

At a bookfair they wanted me to take away my wand I had for my Snape cosplay, because they thought of it as 'dangerous'.
Funnily enough I got my Masamune smuggled in, the other day, by simply passing through the security without looking left or right, after one of them had asked me to bring it to the checkroom.
When another member of the staff asked me, if I was allowed to bring that prop, I simply answered "Your colleagues already checked it."
It wasn't even a lie!

>>3095789
Signs definitely shouldn't have anything inappropriate on them. Someday I want to take my little sister to a con and I don't want her to see yaoi advertised everywhere. But I don't think signs should be banned outright. There are lots of fun cosplays that rely on signs, and all kinds of innocent silliness can be done with them as well. I think the issue could be better dealt with through a bit of regulation, like peacebonding. To me the whole thing feels kinda like they want a bit of excess control with some of their rules. It adds to the nasty corporate vibe the con has given off these past few years. Mandatory curfew rule anybody?

>>3095828 Seemed to me like ConcentrationCon.
Which con was that (you're German, right)

Not ridiculous, but lulzy imo: I recall con rules of a local con saying something like 'if a stranger asks you to come up to his (hotel) room, don't go with him. inform con staff of him immediatly. If he offers you a private photoshooting, or asks for risky poses such as showing your underwear or crotch, or if he offers you sexy clothes to wear for the shooting, don't do it, you might end up in dangerous situations' or something.
I asked con staff about the rule because I thought it was, well, a completely obvious thing. Common sense and everything. They told me they had to include this info because, apparently last year a bunch of idiots decided it was a good idea to follow Creepy McPedophotographer into his hotel room and dress up in "sexy" fukus. I don't know how the story ended and I think I really don't want to know, but still LOL WTF.

>>3095870
>>3095828

Yep that sounds like a german convention or fair.

>>3095870 They told me they had to include this info because, apparently last year a bunch of idiots decided it was a good idea to follow Creepy McPedophotographer into his hotel room and dress up in "sexy" fukus. I don't know how the story ended and I think I really don't want to know, but still LOL WTF.

See EBK is working hard as usual.....

Maid cafe I went to said "no skirts higher then knees"... Dude? Where is the fun in that?

>>3095878
herpaderp

>>3095918
maid café =/= schoolgirl café or something?

>no guns
>no sexy outfits
>no free hugs

Well this is gonna be fun. :L

>>3095870

Conneko in Ludwigshafen.
The last Conneko- for obvious reasons.

Glad signs are banned
Most retarded rule I had to follow was peace binding my BOFFER sword. It didn't even have a sheath. what was i binding it to??? they just put tie wraps around my hilts. so retarded

>>3095533
Fucking dirty kikes!
Ruining everyones fun!

>>3095970
the thing with the bookfair and props annoys me, too. Seriously I'm not a dumb child who is gonna stick her prop sword into someones eye...

You have to register your "group" if theres more than 3 of you. And photoshoots, and picnics, and meet ups.

Fucking MCM.

Thank god britfags are to stupid to enforce their own rule.

>>3095536
What the hell was the justification behind that brilliant idea?

>>3095542
Explain...

>>3095559
Exactly!
The catholics would love Schrode!
After all , every priest is a gay pedophile, and the vatican aided Nazi Germany during WW2.
They should get along very well! :)

>>3095556
what? we have that here and it's an amazing law because of the terrible hug line we had.

Any con with a "No Room Party" rule.

>>3096327
>manchild butthurt about not being able to party at an anime convention

bump for more stupid rules

>>3096327
You take any excuse to crawl inside a bottle eh?

I forget the exact rule name but acen 6" policy where costumes can't hang more than 6" off if you. Limits the costume choices but I can see why.

>>3096371
are there a lot of stairs or something?

>>3096371 where costumes can't hang more than 6" off
lol what

>>3096371
Costumes also can't have "harmful protrusions such as spikes or sharp edges" which pretty much rules out all armor.
And your prop can't be taller than you, unless you're under 4' and then you have to keep it disassembled until you take photos.

>>3096371

That better not include sleeves

>>3096371
>>3096421

Wow, what the shit, man...

>>3096399
not really, there's no space.

>>3096421
At AX a few years ago, they had a "no prop over 6 feet or 15lbs" rule. I sorta get why they have it, but were huge props really such a problem? That year they seemed to care more that my 6 foot prop had a piece of copper pipe attaching two pieces together in the middle of the costume than the fact it was 6 feet and just over 15 lbs.

I love how Schrödinger cosplayers have no problem at german cons, but get the shit beaten out of their minds on american conventions :3
The irony~

I would support Schrödinger cosplays whenever possible

Best con rule I've seen so far:

Death Note Cosplayers pay 10% more
Naruto Cospalyers pay 20% more

even tough it wasn't serious

Man, I've never actually had any problems with my massive props at London Expo...

Last October, I had my 2.3 metre tall Lavi hammer, asked if I was allowed it in and she didn't even bat an eyelid and waved me inside o.O;

I think as long as you're not running around hyper on Pocky, they let you get away with stuff...

I think the only annoying rule at Expo was this 'you must have a ticket if you're gonna go to meet ups and stuff' but as it turned out, noone bothered to check anyway and MCM continued as it always does...

>no clips in airsoft guns

HUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRRRR

>>3097209
>clips

Oh boy

>>3097229

EXACTLY.

>>3097209
>>3097242
>>3097229
PROTIP: No one who actually owns and uses firearms gives a shit over clip/magazine semantics. Only 12-year olds who have the high-score on Halo, like you, give a shit

>>3096603
If they say 'no Schrodinger,' there should not be any Germany (aph) either.

Someone should cosplay that little cat-nazi anyway, if the shorts are short enough it should be awriite assuming they are Catholic security staff. Unsu unsu unsu unsu.

>>3097266
Seconding from someone who actually owns guns. You know, real ones.

>>3097271
I <3 you, schro-fan :3

>>3097280
Put 'er there, Schro-bro.

>>3097271
germany actually has a censored version of the uniform, it might resemble it but it is not a nazi uniform. (though some fans might actually deck out in accurate nazi uniforms, i don't know why.)
while schrödinger's is an actual nazi youth uniform.
sorry.

>>3097319
My grandpa was a member of the hitler youth :3

>>3097333
so was the pope.

>>3095560
ha ha ha ha ha ha... at night at D*C you can practically walk around naked, unless you're ugly.

i'm all for schrodinger at a con, as long as he's not heiling.

>No drinking allowed.

Seriously the worst fucking rule ever.

>>3097333
he must have loves his short shorts :3

>>3097319
just because the amnga is censored here, this doesn't mean we would be as stupid and cosplay an altered version of him
except for the swastika of course - I won't get myself into jail for accuracy! The rest is fine anytime~ never got into any trouble, even at official book fairs!

>>3097613
In my opnion, he should be able to heal himself whenever it's neccessary! You silly german you :3

how could one forbid something like this?

>>3095789

At METROCON it's stressed that there are no signs, unless it's part of your character design (if the character is obscure, they recommend you bring proof, just in case). But if it's part of the design and still crude, they may take it, anyway.

I LOVE the no sign rule. METRO also has a "no glomping" rule due to stupid teenagers injuring others. When it was still in the hotel ('03-'04) they had people JUMPING OFF THE SECOND LEVEL BANISTER to glomp someone. That was the end of that!

>>3097333

Your Grandpa was a fucking pussy.

>>3098129
Wtf? Why would anyone ever think that would be a good idea? Oh wait weaboos... Right.

>>3095560
>even at dragoncon they tell bitches to get dressed
Yeah, but they're still pretty cool about it. As long as MOST of your tits and ass cheeks are covered and neither is in danger of falling out, you should be okay. And they have the 18+ after dark events where the costumes they turn away during normal hours are accepted.

>>3098150

Seriously! It was one of the best rules ever. "No Signs" and "No Glomping" at the same con that also bans yaoi panels? Makes me happy.

>>3098139
Sie wütend?

>>3098129
>>3098184
>"No Signs" and "No Glomping" "No Yaoi Panels"

The promised land?
Thy name is metrocon!

>>3098196

I can proudly say I was the only person allowed a sign at last years Metrocon. Shit was so cash.

>>3098196

I typoed. I meant to say "yaoi paddles" but said "panels" (have panels on the brain). Both aren't allowed, but the "No yaoi PADDLES" rule is what's makes me SO happy!

>>3098196
I honestly enjoy yaoi for shlicking, but after going to a panel at Tekkoshocon two years ago, I'm 100% for a no yaoi panels rule.
There is nothing more terrible than a bunch of girls acting like 14-year-olds while the panel presenters go through their porn collections and make plushies hump.

>>3095536
That was only in the lobby, and it was the Hilton's rules, not ours.

>>3095808
Signs aren't a problem at the con I go to, but it goes with my cosplay. I would be pissed if I couldn't have it. If it goes with the character, they should be allowed.

>>3097209
>remember that SacAnime has a rule similiar to this
>decide to check con website
>AIRSOFT GUNS BANNED ENTIRELY NOW

FUCK. NOW I GOTTA FORK OUT MONEY FOR A TRAINING AK WHICH WILL COST JUST AS MUCH A HIGH END AIRSOFT ONE, AND NOT EVEN SHOOT ANYTHING. FUCK.

>no signs/yaoi/yuri paddles rule

.....least some justice is served.

>>3097333
My grandpa was in von Braun's V2-project.
My grandpa beats your grandpa's shota-ass.

"No. Everything is forbidden."

Can't remember which con this was, but it was quite hilarious.

>>3100884
my grandpa was a medic
conclosuion: my grandpa > your 2 grandpas combined!

he ubered our heavys and bonesawed many enemy russians

>>3100992
ITT: we consider WW2 as TF2 a campaign

>>3100994
and that's awesome.
My grandfather was German engineer
He called yesterday and complained that there are still no updates.

>>3101010
quite difficult to balance a whole world war
just because we are a superior race doesn't mean we man to win that way :/

At Otakon signs are banned unless they're apart of a cosplay. So, could you get around it if you had a sign and said, It's part of my cosplay? 0.o

>There is nothing more terrible than a bunch of girls acting like 14-year-olds while the panel presenters go through their porn collections and make plushies hump.

>>3099638
>I honestly enjoy yaoi for shlicking
>Shlicking

tell me more....

>>3100994
Okay, what do I win if I concede that I had a great-grandfather who was in the SS?

Btw we should really make the /cgl/ nazi grandparents cardgame....

>>3097644
Drink in your own room like most of us do...

I can understand why they don't want drinking at the actual con, because theres lots of people with no self control that ruin things.

MCM Fringe

Nuff said

>>3098189
Kein Übersetzer, du Ami.

I'm all or censored Shrodinger cosplay.

I *was* for uncensored, but this girl at the Hellsing shoot at Sakuracon this year completely changed my mind. We had two Schrodingers, one censored, one non. The noncensored was talking to the censored, badmouthing everyone who chose not to wear a swastika, calling them pansies and 'fuck political correctness' and whatnot. Then she went to show off her 'authentic' belt buckle that actually belonged to one of the Youth in WW2, saying how she was so proud of having it in her costume and stuff.

I backed away slowly and avoided her ever since.

Sakuracon was pretty much the first and last Hellsing shoot I'll go to. The fans are so fucking batshit, it's scary.

>>3101348
Fucking whiny kike bitch detetced

>>3101348
So...you're for censorship because of the behavior of a single person?
Christ is your daddy a hollywood tv producer or something?

>>3101379
More of the behavior of the entire shoot. The censored Schro was looked down on and pushed to the back several times, and all the other cosplayers were just downright scary. I thought that I had somehow stumbled onto a neonazi meeting or something.
