/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Gotta love the OP images of the Dutch Thread.

Also reposting the Nishicon schedule, now with the floor plan for both the artist and dealer rooms added to them for the sake of convenience.

>>9204656
I was kind of worried Nishicon would be canceled, because of their non-communication and promotion. I am happy they have their program ready.

>>9204787
They have experience to organize and fill Nishicon, so to be honest I really expected more of this first timer 3-days-convention. So yeah, I am also thinking that Nishicon isn't really worth staying all weekend for. I expected some new events. I am happy they still have their CMV and Worst Cosplay Competition. But I expected more.

>>9204813
Thanks Anon, I try to do my best at keeping our OP images recognizable with Dutch things, Tully and all that jazz. In this case however >>9181587 deserves a proper shout-out for posting a picture of this postcard in the first place. All I did was turning it into a vectorized version (pic related).

>>9204821
>I was kind of worried Nishicon would be canceled, because of their non-communication and promotion. I am happy they have their program ready.
Same here, although I still feel like they bit off more than they could chew on by going "three-day con" considering the lack of updates and the schedule they released. Then again that's easy for me to say considering I've never organised a big event or volunteered at a con.

>>9204827
amazing work anon! I love that you put so much efford in the threads each time.

>>9204817
this 'artist alley' is other cons for most part, I feel bad for the few artists.

>>9204827
Lovely work on the vector!

>Nijmegen for Seagull Capitol
yes

>>9204656
even if it worked back in the day for Animecon, not all people that went to Animecon back in the day still cosplay or go to events (a lot still do, but yaknow, people get older and grow out of their hobbies...), there is an entire new generation of young cosplayers, so really they can't just expect Nishicon to be just as crowded as Animecon was

Tomofair is just tomocon without activities god damn

>>9205388
lolololol

>>9205388
...you don't say?

>>9205388
No shit Sherlock, what else did you expect? There's a reason I'm still sitting at home rather than hitting TomoFair first thing in the morning.

>>9205398
For me it is just the name Tomo that keeps me away. I avoid their events like the plague.

>>9205398
I left already, at least I found some nice model kits

Wil er iemand mijn qt gf zijn? Graag in de omgeving Leiden.

;_;

>>9205405
Oh nice, I was looking for a new Gundam to build. Let's hope they've got some non-bootleg gunpla left by the time I feel like leaving home.

>>9205410
animere always delivers, I hope you weren't looking for the bandai unit 01 though

BUT WAIT....! There is more: Tomo said they are having a surprise at TomoFair.

>>9205419
Nah, I'm not looking for anything in particular. If I would I'd rather hit a Space Oddity in Amsterdam before paying my grandparents a quick visit.

>>9205421
Please be "we're gonna quit"...

>>9205425
That would be the best kind of news, ever.

>>9205425
That is never going to happen or they got some lawsuits that they want to avoid.

>>9205405
aah yes... I had this last year, that year also no trains directly to nijmegen so +1 hour delay and left after 1,5 hours to go shopping because god damn I wasn't going to waist my precious hour delay for just tomoshit!

Hahahahahahaha!

>>9205496
>het gebruik van het springkussen is geheel op eigen risico

look now they fixed another problem -cough-

>>9205504
Oh wow, I didn't even notice this when I resized the photo to fit the 4MB size limit...
But yeah, very few stands, nothing to do and a "Deshima stand" that played their music so soft even my phone's speakers are louder.
Also those lottery prices were horrible. "Geitenwollen sokken", a Deshima CD, a teapot and some old figurines nobody wanted...

>>9205532
TomoCon? It is TomoFair, right?

>>9205536
No one cares.

>>9205541
Someone did.

>>9205541
So TomoCon doesn't take the responsability during TomoFair. So if someone breaks their neck at TomoFair...... this piece of paper means it is the responsability of TomoFair. It is a little mistake, but yeah.. a stupid one.

Who knows what happend with the guy that was taken by the police at tomofair? What did he do?

>>9205536
And there's another thing I didn't notice. That's it, I'm officially in dire need of some caffeine. Well that or sleep, stupid sexy Netflix keeping me up all night...

>>9205536
Yeah it's TomoFair, they just put the wrong name on it. Honestly if it wasn't for a mate I bumped into I would had left after 10 minutes. I've been to flea markets that were more interesting that this shit. Never again will I fall for the "it's nearby" meme...

>>9205563
No idea, I just left when the cops showed up. Probably just some idiot who got into a fight, walked around with a sword, or tried to steal something.

>>9205536

>>9205563
No idea, I left just before the cops showed up. According to a friend who was still there it was probably someone walking around or swinging a sword our in the open. Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if he is right or if someone got caught stealing something.
Guess we'll just have to wait for the mandatory TomoBrag post to be sure, like they did with the bouncy castle injury.

god bless blazikont and her panty lines

>>9205532
I'm more bothered by the incorrect spelling of "aanvaardt".

>>9205620
What a sad little anon you are.

>>9205620
Well that's not creepy at all.

>>9205620
Just stick at taking quick peeks, looking back over your shoulder or looking through your sunglasses like a normal person. This is just sad and if you're gonna go full creep, at least learn how to focus your shots...

>>9205690
>at least learn how to focus your shots...

well allright...

'Damn, why does half the Dutch lolita comm have to be absolutely batshit? I wanted to join but based on what I've heard I'm staying far, far away.'
same anon, same.
I made my first lolita skirt way back and took a picture of myself. So many angry comments straight away about my skirt being too short

>>9205620
>>9205694
Eww anon, you're such a creep.

>>9205694
Okay I was not expecting that...

>>9205532
Ah yes that will cover your responsibilities as a organiser... NOT!

>>9205696
post it

>>9205620
This is why I slapped a dude at DCC and a friend got security and let this creeper dude take all the ass shots he made of different girl off his camera. Don;t be an utter disgusting douchebag...

>>9205620
>>9205694
>>9205664
>>9205665
>>9205690
>>9205703

You can't argue with the fact that creepshots are, well, creepy... but you're still walking around in that costume at a convention (or whatever Tomofair really is) and I wonder how you even miss that.

Also memeing about that Overwatch bulge and at the same time getting triggered regarding Blazibutt is kind of hypocritical.

>>9205822
Making fun of a guy showing off his dick doesn't equal to making creepshots from behind without the cosplayer noticing. Nice try on the guilt tripping, shithead.

>>9205694

Why has the Blaziken butt been brought to my attention?

>>9205842
If you wear something showing off "certain things" to a public convention you accept the fact that it likely ends up on pictures, my dear anon.

Whether it shows stuff off on purpose or not is completely irrelevant when it comes to that. You're also making assumptions about the guy "showing off" his dick (he might just be too dumb to know how to hide the bulge; who finds a flaccid dick silhouette attractive really?) and the girl being completely oblivious to her panties showing.

>>9205532
>TomoCon

It's already a piss poor way to cover their asses but this probably makes it even worse

>>9205864
Except in the case of Penis Buldge guy he was posing for a photoshoot while the Blaziken Panty shit was made in secret from behind.
Also I noticed that guy in front of her is taking her pic, I wonder if you are actually present in his shots...

You know on one hand kermis is fun but on the other I really can't stand kermis workers. Even with the heavy increase of Pokemon plush on the Nijmegen kermis I really should've just bought those same bootlegs on Ali instead of bothering to waste my money. The red dot kuji are just as overpriced too.
In conclusion, don't be weak like me and don't bother with luck games gulls.

What will we hear tomorrow from TomoFair. I am curious... what was this surprise? Is Tomo going to quit? Will there be a last event in January? TomoStop(t)? Just see it after the commercials, stay with us!

>>9205903
>Luck games
>Kermis
Hate to say this, but none of those games involve luck. The machines are rigged to only "pay out" after reaching a certain amount of incomes (think >400% profit) and tempt you to keep going by making you almost win every now and then. But at least you got to see the fireworks, right?

>>9205905
They already gave out flyers for TomoFair Amsterdam on January 7th. Let's hope they'll actually have some quality for all the unlucky souls who'll fall for the "it's nearby" meme...

>>9205905
TomoFair is moving to Amsterdam. That's all.

>>9205911
>>9205913
That is not really a surprise at all. They just dumped Anime.Amsterdam aka Brian.

>>9205911
you just-- defined a luck game.
Every luck game has a 'pay out' bar in some way or another, be it a lottery, bingo or kermis game. What they are not is skill games.
Hitting that 1/30~100ish is literally luck.

>>9205905
What I understood was that there would be an act and that was the surprise.

>>9205891
If you've been to enough cons you're bound to be in random pictures anyway. It happens.

Also I wasn't at Tomofair, I'm just giving my opinion here.

>>9205931
Actually with the best sold claw machine out there it's more about statistics rather than luck. Then again nobody in their right mind would actually monitor a machine to determine the right moment to step in and play by using a formula pulled straight from the instruction manual.

And now I'm wondering why I'm reading up on how claw machines work when I have to get up early tomorrow...

>>9205938
>What I understood was that there would be an act and that was the surprise.
Must had been that drum band which didn't knew how fast to get the hell out of there once they were done...

>>9205842
+1

>>9205891
I agree.

>>9205956
You know I wasn't even referencing claw machines but yes, it's technically statistics. Except you know those 'mirrors' at the back of the machine, jokes on you those are the 1 sided see thru things and there's literally people watching you to not do statistics(if you don't believe me and are in Nijmegen go to the waal claws, you can see their heads just slightly while standing).
Neat bonus info: this is also the case with black jack in casino's. Card counting is a easy way to win so they only want dumb people to play.

What I was actually referencing was a 'game' called 'hartentroef': get 15 tickets if you get one of the 3 right colors you win(you get a prize card if you lose). They had cute pichu's plush so I was a fool and played two times and lost(it was more fun than claw machines tho desu).
I then watched instead and noticed that he /gave/ you a packet instead of letting you pick one(tho you can refuse and pick one yourself I guess). I watched and saw teenagers and small kids with moms win jack shit but then some kid in a wheelchair played and boom prize, and 15 minutes later another handicapped kid won. At least he was giving them a good time?? but it felt gross just watching him lie to the rest. I ended up giving my 2 prize cards to some mom with a kid so she had enough tickets for a pikachu.

>>9205971
The cosplay is not consent poster is basically just this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CcrtkiLEGbE

But no, really, I'm not defending the person taking the picture, because it's creepy, but if you don't want people to see your panties make sure they don't show. It would've most likely ended up on a picture (albeit unintendedly so) anyhow.

>>9205973
That last bit just restored a bit of my faith in humanity.

>>9205974
Well we can take a bet on it, but I think that person probably didn't know. Heck, it's the back, so it's hard to check. A friend should have told it, though.

>>9205496
I'm getting dashcon vibes from this.

>>9205696
Show it.
The only thing I have seen the comm lose there shit too, is when a TV program wants to interview some lolitas and asks the comm. Some girl really get a special snowflake complex then, it is so cringe worthy.

>>9205903
Kermis people or "carnies" are notorious for being liars and petty criminals, anon. Disliking them is perfectly normal.

>>9205696
I doubt they were actually angry, just informing you so that you wouldn't be wasting time and fabric to make a fool of yourself in the future.

>>9206438
And they usually live in houses with wheels (ie. trailers). Upstanding folks usually steers clear from those.

>>9204817
Wait no cosplay fashion show on Saturday? Then what did I sign up for?

TomoFair wasn't busy at all today.

cosplay /=/ consent is going pretty far in terms of their policy, they had to put don't harasssomebody because of their 'gender, gender identity, gender presentation' plus some cosplayers find many things harassment.
I don't agree with the creepy butt pictures guy tho.

>>9206702
I think I heard some people talking about that on the bus.
I thought they were discussing Tumblrisms or something.
Also there was a presentation?

>>9206702
Does rolling my eyes count as harassment? Because I can't always control my expressions when someone starts telling me about how they identify as a space prince and their pronouns are star/stars/starself or whatever the fuck.

Anyone seen the picture Firstlook chose to represent cosplayers?

Strongest cringe I have had in a while.

>>9206867
no didn't see them, what kind of cosplay did they wear?

>>9206702
That goes too far indeed, but that is exactly why I always think you should think in the middle with these things, and not extremely in one side or the other. But oh well, that's pretty much how I think with everything. Also sensitive topics like "Is this cosplay racist?". The world isn't black and white, it's shades of grey. (inb4 50 shades of grey lol)

>>9206867
I guess that's what you get when you let people with little experience do these things.

I seriously thought Viencon was an in-joke. Who chooses a name like that.

Why have names like Tsunacon or Abunai! when you can have names like Martijncon, Lennartcon or Nielscon!

>>9207020
I really wonder where it'll go. The current staff seems to be made up of people with more passions than just con-hosting. But I mean, I'm up for a good con if they can handle it.

It's a stupid name tho holy. I was an in-joke and they just kept it.

>>9206789
>tfw someone doesn't respect your pronouns.

>>9206867
link or post it here please

>>9207220
>tfw someone doesn't "believe" in societal standards of gender, yet requests that everyone call them by male pronouns even though they adhere fully to society's definition of "female"

either you wanna be what society views as male or female, or you don't believe in gender norms. you can't have both

>>9205532
translate plz

>>9205971
That's wrong, tho. Anyone can photograph you without your permission, and you're probably being permanently recorded on dozens if not hundreds of security cams over the course of a convention on top of that.

Though the law might be different in Holland, I dunno.

>>9207284
A con isn't a public space. Recording is freely allowed in public, but not necessarily private events.

>>9207290
True, but every con I've been to always includes a disclaimer about how "you acknowledge you're in a public space and photographs and recordings may be taken of you".

Do they not have that in Holland?

>>9207238

>>9207290
It honestly highly varies on both con and location, but at least 50% of the time you'd be wrong. Anywhere you don't need permission or a badge to get into is a public space. Panel rooms? Definitely private. Vendor hall? Definitely. Main halls? Probably not. Again, depends on con.

>>9207392
Post-modernist abstract cosplay?

or wat?

>>9207398
beats me, i'm just sharing the weird ass picture firstlook put on fb, ask them

well... It's probably inappropriate to praise praise someone on this board, but BrianPit actually had his GameroomS set up pretty well for a change...
I mean, they had fuckin sound voltex!

>>9207504
Sound vortex was actually made/delivered by the guy who ran the karaoke. (Performous-NL). He also helps out at gamerooms and sometimes also works on the stage audio. He also made a DDR machine with selfmade pads for Kinjin! He's amazingly good at this kind of thing. I wouldn't be able to do it.

>>9207020
because then we would all immediately know who to blame in case of a fuck-up.

>>9207504
yeah I saw that, it was kshootmania though they did have the original sound voltex songs!

>>9207504
Was pleasantly surprised to see Sound Vortex indeed. Too bad the controller used cheap switches, needing a large amount of force to be pushed, rendering the game almost unplayable.

>>9207568
well at least they tried.

the games wasn't completely unplayable, I could easily pass a level 11 on it, although the dials needed some work though.

>>9207568
I opened the box to see inside, it was organised pretty well and actually used soldered plugs. better than that animecon popn' music controller which had the cables bent through the holes of the switches without using any solder making it fail half of the time.

>>9205911
>life in Amsterdam
>birthday is January 6

Damn it Tomo. I already see my non-geeky friends giving me tickets for Tomofair as a birthday present, thinking they did me a favor because I go to cons all the time.

>>9207243
>The use of the bouncy castle is at your own risk
>TomoCon (which should had seen TomoFair) holds no responsibility
This of course is their "solution" after an accident at their previous event, TomoCon, where some girl fell of the bouncy castle and landed on her head (or was it her back?). Before they could move her they had to fly in a doctor by trauma helicopter to make sure she didn't didn't her neck, which luckily enough for her she didn't.
It's also worth noting that TomoShit had no one monitoring the bouncy castle nor the "fatsuit sumo wrestling" at TomoFair and that that didn't had any mats placed around it. in other words, if you would fall off you would hit the pavement.

>>9207284
In the Netherlands we have portrait rights and a couple of other laws and regulations regarding this subject. Any pictures made of you may not be used without your permission due to portrait rights, with the only exception being for "public figures doing their job" (think politicians, sportsman, artists etc).
Security cameras also need to be made present using signs, and this includes police surveillance cameras. Private security cameras (in homes, offices, stores etc) may also not be recording anything that's off your property unless you have a permit.
Still, keep in mind that these laws (like many) are outdated and were made well before the rise of the internet, smart phones and affordable cameras.

>>9207395
All cons in the Netherlands (or at least the ones that I'm aware off) are held on private property. In fact pretty much the only public space you'll find here are the streets, parks, and certain playgrounds.

>>9207284
>Though the law might be different in Holland, I dunno.
If you're not Dutch, then you better learn the rules here.

>>9207020
Those peeps from Animecon where talking about a Matijscon wich took place previous weekend (23-24 sept) somewhere in IJmuiden?!?

>>9207655
It was his 50th birtday.

>>9207587
Can't believe Animecon would have something shoddy like that. Perhaps it's a borrowed controller?

Speaking about Animecon, they stole the term '' Moolah'' used for their coins, from an online game called Iris Online, and use it as their own without any permission to do so.

>>9207720
Hmmm. yes... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dAFiZFepEz8

>>9207720
Yeah, they totally stole that term...

>>9207720
lol no. Moolah is slang

>>9207710
well.. they had, sometimes 2 buttons wouldn't work. other times some buttons misfired.
the guy didn't use wire with a solid core so quite often they split and hit other wires on the control board -_-
don't know whether it was borrowed or not.

Matijscon was the birthday party held by one of the core staff members.

And if I remembee corectly animecon did a contest to name the currency a couple of years ago and moolah came out as most popular.

>>9207749
>And if I remembee corectly animecon did a contest to name the currency a couple of years ago and moolah came out as most popular.
They did yes, although I still can't believe Moolah received more votes than DoeKoe...

>>9207020
You forget Jaapcon

Is anyone actually going to Nishicon? I managed to get a hotel room a week before the con without any problems and I don't particularly see much excitement for Nishi...

hmm, First someone claiming that he knew exactly what was doing on inside and Animecon controller which he apparently opened while praising Gamepit.

Then an attack on that they stole the name of their coins.

Coincidence? I think not!
Now, who could that be....

>>9207798
I was planning on going on Saturday, but the lacklustre schedule and especially the 3 hour journey courtesy of NS busses has changed my mind completely.
But yeah, even alternatief slapen has lots of empty beds left which is troublesome to say the least. Back during the Animecon days you really had to hurry if you wanted to stay there for dirt cheap...

>>9207830
>Coincidence? I think not!
>Now, who could that be....

Gee, I wonder...

Strawpoll: Are you going to Nishicon or Firstlook? (Multiple choice)

>>9207798
Lets find out, shall we?

So, any other TomoDrama to report? I noticed Henk, Lychee Tea and France Orient being present, so probably ridden with Chinese crappy bootleg shit?

>>9207849
>http://www.strawpoll.me/11356399

hah, firstlook gives saterday sunday option but not entire weekend, nishicon gets entire weekend option but not sunday or saterday just "one day"

>>9207907
yeah people are going to get pissed at you, it is going to be crowded

>>9207907
If you can take them off easily, yes you can definitely wear that costume. If not you should prepare for frustrated people walking behind you and getting bumping into by people who are in a hurry. Firstlook tends to crowded AF.

>>9207917
Something something after dinner dip

>>9207918

>>9207897
What do you mean? I've never been to Nishicon so I'm just curious. Is it shit?

>>9207020
Using Viencon as a stand in name before an official name is one thing, but having your own name on a con is pretty cringe. I guess he didn't get the memo that cons with names like Matijscon and Jaapcon are meme names for meets. At least it's not called Truuscon I guess.

>>9207020

but perhaps i'm just being a pessimist

Firstlook is probably going to be shit anyway, especially when you don't like games such as "CoD" (oh yes, they exist!)

>>9209267
Are you serious?

>>9209393
They probably don't and will have some 'technical problems' (= IT guy who doesn't know shit) like last year, but other than that I guess the workshops will be okay.

how is brown creepier, what am I missing here

>>9210163
Yeah, I'm serious. Is there something bad about speeddating that I'm missing? Never done it before.

>>9210408
Not really, it's just that a lot of people think of it as something only "sad, lonely hopeless people" do. Personally I find speed dating can be fun as long as you don't take it overly serious, especially at conventions where everyone tends to be a bit weirder to begin with.

oh hey, yaycon is doing something as well
about fucking time if you as kme.

Well, considering we can't have nice things here is a new con agenda. This time it's on Google Calendar, managed by me and read only. You can add to your own agenda on the bottom-right of the page.
https://calendar.google.com/calendar/embed?src=17gim9nkndjpvpnhp1pr64l410%40group.calendar.google.com&ctz=Europe/Amsterdam

Well fine, it's not like it was complete anyway. Instead take this new Google Calendar which I just threw together with dates from the old Pastebin and checking the websites of a bunch of cons:
https://calendar.google.com/calendar/embed?src=17gim9nkndjpvpnhp1pr64l410%40group.calendar.google.com&ctz=Europe/Amsterdam

You can add it to your own agenda by clicking on the button on the bottom-right corner of the page and I'll put it in future OP's from now on. I'm probably missing out on a shitload of events so feel free to post them here.

>>9210234
It was in the last thread. http://www.avo-forum.nl/viewforum.php?f=19

>>9210595
ok so that's really sad... thanks for the google calendar though!

>>9210592
They got permission from tsuna to do so, though. They didn't just strongarm the date like youre making it seem.

>>9210604
oh but that's not what I was trying to portray, I know this!

>>9210601
No problem, I already had an updated list of events on hand for a "post con season survey" anyway. I'm kinda curious how our con ratings have changed since spring...

>>9210595
Well maybe you shouldn't forget to disable write-access on a public calender. Maybe.

But nice calendar, thanks.

Quick Reminder you have until 22:00 to buy your tickets at Nishicon if you don't feel like buying them at the door.

>>9210180
>>9210595
Apparently the Special Edition agenda was hacked.
Should be up again soon.

>>9211407
Except it wasn't hacked, she just left it completely editable by everyone. At least she can copy my events at >>9210595 and add the smaller fish herself...

>>9211407
>>9211444
So who needed the cry for attention?

>>9211445
Both her for making that long ass post and the Anon who took the time to change everything?

>>9211449
I guess it wasn't used much either, because it was just taken down. Who the hell gives out the administrator link for a calendar anyway? She could have known that wouldn't work.
It's a real shame for the effort though, even it was just mostly linked Facebook events.

>>9211445
Well. She wrote up a large sob story on fb. And the replies to it are hilarious. A few are calling her out on acting high and mighty and snobby.

>>9211534
And it was posted twice.

again my picture and calling me crying for attention! FUCK YOU. Needed a new one anyway.

For the love of god, do you guys like me so much that you actually edit the tasty sandwich on top of my face? damn

>>9211556
Darling, stop before you make this worse.

>>9211556
Imagine having your head so far up your ass

>>9211193
Wait, is that...?

>>9211564
She keeps telling people she's famous apparently. Which is a reason why 'they' keep targeting her. desu I never heard of her lol

>>9211576
Famous for what exactly?

>>9211580
Thats what Im wondering too?

>>9211193
Someone please enlighten me as to the origin of this picture?

who is this anyway

>>9211567
Who is this supposed to be then?

I thought someone just trolled with a random indecent picture.

>>9211556
One guy != /cgl/
But yes, you are crying for attention with that post where you are lying about being hacked, while in reality, you left that agenda editable for everyone. You knew this shit could happen so stop shifting the blame to others while you are to blame just as much as the faggot who changed your entries.
But here's some helpful advice, use Google Calendar next time. That way you can allow everyone to view it, while limiting edits and adding events to those you trust. In fact, here's a start: https://calendar.google.com/calendar/embed?src=17gim9nkndjpvpnhp1pr64l410%40group.calendar.google.com&ctz=Europe/Amsterdam

>>9211587
It's ancient history we left behind us a long time ago. Just move on.

>>9211591
>I thought someone just trolled with a random indecent picture.
Me too.

>>9211594
But inquiring minds want to know

Also curious about the 'famous' thing

Over here you only get famous for fucking (shit up)

>>9211599
She's famous for acting like she's a famous and important figure in the community. As for that "sandwich" pic anon posted, I'm sure you can put one and two together...

Dear Anon,
I was clumsy by accidently posting the admin-page once, Whoops Gimme a break, it is the first time ever I made something like this.

BUT within a very short moment I did delete that link AND I inserted the READ_ONLY link. Seems like once on the internet, stays on the internet.

Somehow a person found this out and ruined the entire calendar. It is surprising that this happened after many MONTHS that the calendar is running......

instead of being so hatefull and harsh, why cant people appreciate the work i do for the community and just leave it alone. But guess we cant have nice things then....

Nevermind I already made a google calendar wich will be put up soon. my mistake guys!

thank you guys

>>9211616
Unwarranted self-importance, always entertaining.

And I can make an educated guess yeah, just curious if the original is still floating around somewhere and if there's more.

All these cosplay lineups being posted on the Nishicon event page make me want to share my own lineup of "casual Friday", "casual Saturday" and "hungover Sunday"...

>>9211686
Do ittttttt!

So, nishi meetup?

I'd say on saturday if people are up

>>9211591
>>9211597
It's the person complaining about their calendar being hacked

>>9211556
Editing that picture was just my way to fill a lazy afternoon. It gets lonely here sometimes.

Also your calender wasn't "hacked" you just fucked up by posting the wrong link. I know exactly who did it and it's just a bored person with nothing better to do (just like me). Don't blame others when you made the mistake.

>>9211786
You wouldn't happen to still have the unedited version or other pictures? Sharing is caring

>>9211787
http://www.kimholland.nl/nana-is-dol-op-de-japanse-lolita-look-en-rollenspel-4102.html (18+ and stuff blah blah blah mods pls dont ban)

Someone actually uploaded the full movie somewhere, you can probably find it in the archive. It was pretty crappy though, but whatd'ya expect?

>>9211795
Much appreciated anon

I'd be indebted if someone could dig up the full thing

>>9211809
https://mega.nz/#!5B1UgCCC!8KQSLCyM2WB7aHGFGwhnc5nHciRqnTV1ujVQvabszbs

Enjoy your fap, pathetic piece of shit.

Dude are you that bored and pathetic to dig up the past of another person, you are a sick twisted person who deserve to be in a relationship with your right/left hand

>>9211837

Says the one who fap on digging up the past of someone else who has clearly a better life then you will ever achieve

Seriously if anyone can fap on this please explain. We now have stomach cramps from laughing.

Ask the dude who posted it apperently he can fap on that

>>9211873
He must be a stubborn man

Whats so special about this person? There are tons of smokin' hot girls out there but why is this one so special to you guys? I cant really fap to this desu

>>9211719

These seem to be the best times for a meetup as far as the schedule goes. Not sure if I'll be at Nishicon tho, as much as I like cons and meeting Gulls that 6 hour round trip really just doesn't feel worth it.

>>9211882
Go for it, it's fun. Just prep a good playlist to listen to and time should pass quick enough.

stop samefagging and shitting up an already dying thread, christ

>>9211786
I do not think it was just a single person. The calender was open for all.

>>9212530
One person vandalized it. Others might have had the (editing) link though, I don't know.

>>9212554
The editing link actually was the link in the OP: >>9210180
>>9204806

'Has a better life than you'
Somebody should print out some screen shots and paste them around the con, drag this bitch.

>>9212562
... I stand corrected. That's even more hilarious.

>>9212569
Just show the video through a beamer or something

>>9211594
>One guy != /cgl/
lol this.

I don't really have much to say about this girl, other than that she seems to fit the description of a classic weeb.

>>9212562
>>9212584
Correct, I've had that link bookmarked for a while and forgot about it until somewhere last week. I figured I might as well post it to replace that Pastebin I never bothered updating. After all, why go through all the trouble of keeping a convention list when someone else already did it for you? Well, as it turns out some sites apparently use hard admin links shit happened once Anon noticed this.
Anyway, I've contacted A last night to take my responsibility in all of this and to offer her a head start on a new agenda. I figured it's the least I could do after all this...

>>9211795
Jesus that synopsis. Just why...

It's going to be hella awkward visiting Special Edition now.

>>9211870
>>9211880
Are you trying to defend her by saying she's fugly? I'm confused.

>>9211900
>None of my friends or acquaintances are going, meaning I'll have to go solo
>Awkwardly standing around, feeling old and thinking "cool cosplay, no idea what show it's from tho..." as 90% of the current shows don't interest me. Also it really seems the older you are the harder it gets to get into new groups at cons.
>The only events that have my interest are the LED Workshop, AMV compo, Cosplay compo and maybe the cosplay dating show just because of how cringy it sounds
>Have a wrist injury, most controllers hurt like hell after 5 minutes, mice after 15 minutes. In other words, hardly any game time for me.
>No interest in a meet so far
>3 hour journey home with NS busses
Yeah, I think I'm just gonna pass on this one...

Anyone going to Firstlook who wants a /cgl/ meetup?

Heard that the saterday competition is blow off at firstlook. Atleast we can still look at the WCS prelim on sunday.

>>9212643
Not a single mention on their FB page nor their website. Got a source on this?

>>9211816
fuck this is terrible..

Not a single fucking thing to do at nishi today, almost no visitors. I hope it gets better in the evening and tomorrow

>>9212708
Look again after 7 or 8, people are still working or on their way home by now. Any good games in the game room?

You sick bastard! I want this whole sextape thing gone already! And you actually post the entire video! Fuck you and drop dead! What have i ever done to hurt you? I want to leave it in the past already and still people are out there sharing it behind my back! Cut it out. How would you like to be out there with a movie like that?!

As a woman it is emberrassing enough i had to go through that! You have no idea what i have been through. Dispite EVERYTHING some cosplayers have to say about me. I am working over 60 hours a week for the whole community. I am working myself almost to dead for very VERY little money in order to live my and many other people their passion. So at least i deserve some respect. Behind this fucking post is a human being with feelings. After this one movie I have NEVER done anything even remotely like this. I had at one point of my life, no money, no family, no boyfriend and no options. So wow such a wonderfull life you have that you dont even need to do something like that,

I always help other and try to be a good person. And yes I aint perfect but for fucks sake drop it! I already told everybody about what i did. The stinger is out, everbody knows now SHUT IT!

You know what, just come to me and tell me what i ever did wrong to you! We can solve it.

And untill then , just fuck off...

>>9212783
FYI
the more you talk about it, the more people will know or look stuff up about it.

>>9212783
I still have no idea what you have meant for the community. I swear I never heard of you before all this went down.

>>9212783
>As a woman it is emberrassing enough i had to go through that!
you could have chosen to....not do a porno? it's something you have you have to think of before you make one.
> I am working over 60 hours a week for the whole community.
but what do you do???

>>9212783

;(( sowwy

I wonder how that dude got hard and maintained it for like 20 minutes.

>>9212783
so how much did Kim Holland pay you for it anyway?

>>9212804
pretty sure they have pills for that. Otherwise I dont see how itd would be possible with this girl

So Nishicon is still empty?

>>9212719
This, I'm heading there now. I'd be up for a meet too.

>>9212783
The more you freak out about it the more often people are going to dredge it up because your reaction is funny. I know this is hard, but ignore it.
And don't give me that "as a woman" bullshit. Don't act like it's something every woman goes through. You made a fucktarded choice and now you have to own it.

>>9212783
>Just come to me and tell me what ever I ever did wrong to you
They won't, these particular blokes are only in it "for teh lulz".

>>9212783
Learn to laugh at yourself, for what it's worth I think you are cute. Remind me of this beauty
http://efukt.com/21108_Czech_Teens_Porn_Debut_Ends_In_Tears.html

>>9212783
Ffs stop reacting. You are just asking for it.
By the way, you are not one to talk. Only being semi-nice to costumers, while I actually complimented your outfit once and you totally gave me this arrogant look. You heard me, you didnt respond verbally, you just looked at me as if you were disgusted.

Ugh, there is so much wrong with you. This will be the only thing I'll ever say to you. You disgust me.

>>9212783
it's all your fault.
making a mistake is one thing but bringing it up again and again is just retarded.

>>9204806
wat is dit voor n kanker draad

>>9212849
Go back to /int/

>>9212850
NEE LEG UIT

>>9212849

>>9212851
You're on an English board that revolves around Cosplay, J-fashion, Gothic lifestyle and conventions. That's all you need to know.

>>9212857
Dutch cosplays?

>>9212860
Theres never any actual Dutch cosplay in these threads

>>9212857
>>Vlogging in Dutch or Dunglish. Which is better and why?
Wat is dit dan, gaat nergens over. praat nederlands in een "dutch thread" stelletje landverraders

>>9212857
And drama, don't forget drama. Although most of it has been overly artificial recently...

>>9212864
That's one if the subjects of the previous slow thread. Also posting in Dutch isn't allowed outside /b/ and /int/ this Dutch posts pretty much always end up getting deleted.

>>9212864
Well heres to obligatory 'read the damn board rules' awnser; non-english post are deleted.

>>9212869
>>9212875
well that fckin sucks

>>9212878
"fuck" isn't filtered you fucking cheesehead.

>>9212783
Nobody asked you to do anything for the community.

>>9212783
Nobody asked you to do anything.

>>9212887
Well fuck you too you non dutch

Hope Nishicon will be less silent now!

All non dutch gtfo

>>9212897
I hope so too. It surprises me how few pictures of Nishicon are up on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. I haven't even seen a single picture taken inside the con, let's hope tomorrow will be better.

>>9212907
Well, you heard it, >>9207284!

>>9212914
'Photographer' here, took 2 shots total. Maybe tomorrow.

>>9212783
I don't care about your pr0n. It happens. I don't blame you for it. But what does annoy me is your know-it-all attitude. If you really try to be a good person, I would highly suggest you to work on that.

>>9212638
Im down

>>9212783
you're a disgrace to every person who has gone to some real shit that choose not the do porn, to every person that has done porn. And everyone in the community who actually did allot for the community without getting anything for it in return.

you're not that special.

dutch topic is up

always fun to read throught for all porno stuff what dutch make in that con or past <3

has anyone ever told you how messed up your seagulls sound? I swear I can never stop laughing every time I visit NL

>>9213074
Nope, only how Dutch sounds like someone has something stuck in their throat, how all of our pigeons have asthma, how the average weeb gets everything to cringe and how oddly cool we are about delayed trains.

>>9213153
I really wouldn't describe your language like that, since that's reserved for danish
would rather say it's a strange mix of german, french and danish
most importantly it sounds absurd and is amusing to listen to (sorry)
and your weeb culture is the best part so far and also most of the reason why I keep coming back
trains are way more delayed up here so it's all good

>>9213228
you should read the comment of >>9212907

>>9213373
ellers takk :)

>>9212783
You're not the only one working for a community. You're not the only one who wants to make stuff better.
You are, however, the only one being so naceausly vocal about it that people are in fact hating you or starting to hate you.

You are acting so pompeous and obnoxious, it's not even funny anymore and while the guy you run your shop with is a swell dude, you are not, and the sole reason I'm not frequenting SE anymore.

Appreciate what you could do by doing what you did, get some counseling to give it a place and try to strat smiling a bit more. A positive attitude goes a long way.

There are very few people disliking me actually. And if you do, that is your problem. You seem to have a real issue with me personally. I am willing to apologise if i have acted badly to you in any way, but going this far to spread hate about me is beyond words.

You should just come to me and tell me in my face what i did wrong. but shouting from an cancerous site such as this one won't solve anything. It seems like you just want a safe stage to start bitching to me. Well, you have done it, are you happy now?

I try to make as little enemies as possible but it seems where there is success there is hate as well. Since when have i ever talked about how much i do for the community? I hardly ever tell amyone that, because i act rather than talk. But feel free to ask around. You'll see.

But anyway have a good day, i have better things to do than explaining myself to people like you.

>>9213685
You bragged about working 60+ hours a week for the community in a previous post. You still did not explain how you could make so much hours for the community while you run a shop.
Your shop isn't even fully supporting the community as you sell bootleg and organising cringy meets for both lolitas and cosplayers together is just a bad idea. I do not see you do anything else but work on your stand or do karaoke on conventions. Let's not forget that you also invite every single person who has even the smallest connection to the community on facebook, just to spam them with invites for your events.

Oh and do not defend the bootleg part, I , and many others, have seen it laying around and being sold. Not only figures can be bootleg.

I hope you will clarify why you told us about the 60+ hours only to deny bragging about it later and what you actually mean for the community.

>>9213734
>selling bootleg
>complaining about bootleg at cons and events

The hypocrisy is baffling

There is no bootleg in my shop. Present to me evidence!! Present to me a picture of your product together with your receipt. Come on i dare you to post it, because i don't do that! Any customer gets a receipt like they should and i never make trouble when people want to trade stuff. I sell used products and I always check it on bootleg.

I am not selling bootleg and i have zero warnings for trying to sell it and i have never been banned from any event. So you stop lying already. If i did sell bootleg i would already be on the blacklist, and i am not.

You are just a person with a personal issue with me, a stalker maybe? Yes i like karaoke, so what? I also like DDR, games and everything else revolving anime. So? By the way, The only place in my shop where you find bootleg, is in the garbage where it belongs. And leavy my company out of it, this is personal.

And besides yes i work my ass off to organise meetings, anime-festivals, helping other conventions, as for cosplaymeetings people ask me to invite and share on fb, and dont forget my work on the anime-agenda wich has been destroyed recently. And there is a lot more.

The only time i mentioned all this effort was in my lastest post and never before you dummy. I do it because i care about the community and about anime and manga in general, but that is something you cant understand.

Watch your steps yae false accusation is a serious issue. Send BREIN or another anti-piracy company to me all you like. Because i am 100% bootleg free. And be brave to use your own name when you send use if they find nothing, you will be know to falsely accuse people.

>>9213745
I think it'd be better for your mental health if you just never returned here.

>>9213749
I think it would be better for our mental health as well

>>9213745
Please, your attempt at English hurts to read.

Typical answer for people full of shit

>>9213745
Seriously Nana, just stop.
you are only embarrassing yourself here.

Who else is at Nishicon? I gotta say I'm pretty disappointed how quaint and small scale it is. Probably not even gonna check into my room at this rate...

>>9213745
Pusheen plus, those are bootleg and on your Facebook. Also, stop demanding anything, it's 4chan. Maybe instead of blaming to whole world for everthing, stop whining, get your shit together and do something useful. Yeah, you did porn in which you look like a weeb and that will always be relevant to the community and yes you will have to deal with it since it was your own decision.

Not going to events this weekend, so did we spot any cool cosplays yet? Please share! I don't see many posts of firstlook/nishicon on facebook.
How are they going? Anyone enjoying themselves?

Wait... That is really going to be your statement?

Are you kidding me, those things i sold ages ago ONCE. After i found out that it was probably bootleg I stopped selling them immediately. They have NEVER even been sold in my shop ever. But way before i had my store. Mistakes were made, it is solved and I never sold anything like that ever again.

You should stop Bitching others. You have issues and you need help. You sound like pathetic borderline stalker to me, following me, trying to let people hang op posters of me, or even play the movie on the beamer. That is a new low. Hope they dig up something emberrassing about you someday, so you can feel it for yourself how it is.

I am not blaming others for anything, the porn is my own fault. there was not much of a choice at the time though. But a simpleton like you wont understand that anyway.

How about we all say the coolest cosplay we ever saw at a con?

Haven't gone to many cons before? Any good tips in general on what to bring besides money?

Worst cosplay compo was pretty amusing though XD

>>9213784
that eva unit 01 at animecon 2016(not you OP sorry)
>>9213785
water, or atleast a refillable bottle

>>9213783
Weren't you going to stop posting? That was a good idea. Do that.

Bring a powerbank to the con if you like making a lot of pictures with your phone

>>9213785
>Emergency cosplay repair kit if you plan on cosplaying
>Cash
>Deodorant
>Water bottle because dehydration is a bitch
>Snacks to keep those glucose levels up
>Pain killers and sun glasses for the morning after
>Power bank, earbuds etc
>Camera maybe
>Towel, always bring a towel.

>>9213784
French EVA-01 guy at Animecon had the best "body armour", and that Power Girl-Wonder Woman duo at DCC this year was pretty cool too. Still, my all time favourite will always be that Il Palazzo cosplayer at Abunai 2011. Not because his outfit was good, but it was the first and only time I saw an Excel Saga cosplay out in the wild. Now if only I'll see a Puni Puni Poemy cosplay some day I can finally die in peace...

>>9213787
>Not you OP
Doesn't matter, I still won that bet!

Today the Nishi seems to be a lot more busy than yesterday. But still kinda small-scale :)

>>9213809
OK. it is too early to draw conclusions. But what if the number of visitors will be lower than last year in Zoetermeer. Will Nishicon still stand and survive? I am a bit worried over here.

>>9213783
I just pointer out that you actually had bootleg, thats all. I'm not staking you or anything. But hey, if you lash out like that to anyone that says something you dont like. Maybe there's your problem

Well i certainly hope so. Maybe they should invite more artists or bring something special to the public.

Just read the programme and desu there isnt much to go on here. It has some workshops and lectures, but nothing really extraordinary....

>>9213783
oh wow she deleted her comment.

Daguq, i did not do that....

Wasn't me. But whoever did, thanks

>>9213855
Actually the mods did, along with most of the shitposting that came before it. Now let's all take the hint, shall we?

Soo...to change the topic; how was Nishi/Firstlook?

>>9213380
If Dutch isn't allowed here, then Norwegian obviously isn't allowed either. But hey, at least we now know where you're from!

Sooo damn quiet. Probably anyone is at the CC now checkin out them amazing cosplays ;) lol

>>9213962
And hopefully will report to us afterwards! ;)

>>9213981
Apperantly after eight there is nothing to do and lots of stuff has been cancelled. Wow! Great

>>9214062

So what cons is everyone most excited for in general?

>>9214071
"Definitely not" this con xd

>>9214071
I'm getting interested if the convention has interesting guests. So most of the time Anime and Abunai! are the most interesting.

>>9213962
Are you sure it's that, and not the Justin Bieber concert? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b7ijEPWbtW0 I lolled.

>>9214062
>Apperantly after eight there is nothing to do and lots of stuff has been cancelled. Wow! Great
Damn, that's sad. Nishi already had very little going on in terms of their schedule, so this really won't do them any good for next year. It kinda makes me wonder what caused all of this...

>>9214071
AnimeCon and Abunai always have my attention, with the first definitely being my favourite. It still surprises me how it manages to keep that cozy feeling despite being the biggest con. Too bad the winter season has very little to offer...

>>9214071
AnimeCon = #1
Abunai = #2
The others are OKish..

MGC Experience will have a guest this year. Someone who is called None Like Joshua.

Any news on terracon?

>>9214118
>what caused all of this
Apparently the hotel fucked up their reservation, otherwise the convention would be last week. This is speculation, but changing the location and increasing the duration of the con probably caused a lot of additional work they couldn't handle. I mean, their website and Facebook were rarely updated and the programme was released pretty late.

>>9214118
They also had money issues. They didnt have enough ticket sales for a long time to pay the hotel to start with. So that makes me think they couldn't properly plan events/people/panels. Its a shame really..

Firstlook was fun btw. Was part of the Overwatch group. We got lots of attention because of the sheer size of our group obv. Barely saw anything on firstlook, got halted for pics every 5 feet hah

>>9214178
Not yet. They wanted to post something about their event soon.

>>9214181
Sounds like they screwed up pretty bad. Although, if the Nishi and Tomo were on the same date, it would be pretty interesting. Wonder what would've happened

>>9214196
>>9214202
If they did some more promotion, I think they could get more tickets sold. And then get their planning more filled. If they asked help from the other conventions, maybe they could get some extra. Do what Abunai did with showing cosplay meetings on the website (first.. make that up-to-date).

It is too bad to say it afterwards, but I am sure people want to help out, even for a weekend ticket.

Seems like nishi is pretty dead, sad really this is the only year I haven't gone there

>>9214203

Point taken.

However in this community the connections are everything. Only by working together people can survive. Advertising is an expensive and long process and not everybody has the rescources for that. So conventions stick together and supported eachother.

Lately it seems more like they are tryin to kick eachother out. Checkout all the posts about "too many conventions" . Everyone acts like being backed into a corner, basically there is a bit of truth in that. Look at how many events there are in this month alone... What, in this weekend alone!

Deshima Sounds at Nishicon 2016!

Anyone at nishi who wants to meet? Im super bored but dont feel like sleeping and going to deshi alone is meh

>>9214223
Are you kidding me?

>>9214227
Yes he is, its less coherent and busier lol

Hey it beats the, what was it second edition at nishi? There were 4 of us dancing x_X

Dug up a screenshot of the calendar after it was edited.

>>9214231
Just saw a live stream on FB and it was indeed somewhat busier. But not full.

>>9214244
Nothing on this nishicon is full

>>9214246
OK, but Deshima Sounds is kind of popular right? The room they are now having isn't the main stage. So it could have been more filled.

>>9214181
>>9214196
Not to mention that they moved from a somewhat central location to Almelo. I feel a lot of day trippers who used to go to Nishi thought it was simply too far away to attend. Plus the hotel itself is expensive and there hardly are any nearby alternatives around, making Nishi less attractive for weekend visitors as well.

>>9214203
Oh yes, the lack of promotion/hype building, a website with events from 2014 listed on it, and them not responding to questions on Facebook definitely played a huge role here as well. It's almost as if they had no one in charge of their online presence.

>>9214248
Deshima is popular yes, although I seems a lot of people are really starting to lose interest in it. That or it it's an age thing I'm only now starting to notice as me and my con group are getting older.

AYY UNDERTALE AT DESHI THO GOOD SHIT

>>9214071
Animecon, outperforms the other conventions in communication, atmosphere, size, cosplay, events and guests. Basically in everything.
Okay, I am somewhat biased because I know some people there. But I also think that they always improve because it is quite easy to talk with their organisation.

>>9214282
Lmao there's no way you didn't have any alcohol, you ain't foolin' me!

>>9214262
People are not starting to lose interest, there weren't that many people here anyway. What came to Deshima were the people that love to party.
I for one am glad they were there, without Deshima, Nishicon would be a waste of my money..

Yes, they have their ups and downs, but they have to consider everybody in the room, each with other personal musical preference. We can't expect it from them because it's a impossible task.

Just let yourself go the next time, and just try to have fun. And ask for request like what i did. If they have it and fits in their set, they usually play it right away, and otherwise later on the evening.

anyone got a mirror of the Special Edition agenda?
I really want to know all of the upcoming weeb events.

>>9214692
They say they're working on it, probably still at the Nishi or somethin

The cosplay competition was somehow the worst one I've seen so far. It was saved by the couple doing the David Bowie act.
It was a combination of bad acting, bad posing and some horrible pre-recorded voices being played back way too loud over the speakers. The 2 guys presenting everything were doing their best to make the best out of it.
Also remove all mettaton cosplayers from any competitions from now on.

I also hope that there is a special place in hell for that pyramid head cosplayer at the cosplay competition who managed to fuck up every single aspect of what makes pyramid head so unique. Like, who even things that a talking pyramid head is a good idea?

>>9214216
>So conventions stick together and supported eachother.
Is that because of Tomo, because there were rumors that Tomo wanted to kick all those conventions and want to become the biggest of the Netherlands?

I didnt know they had the worst cosplay compo twice, oh wait! Except it's not....

>>9214735
Even if those rumors are true... You really think they ever could? Sounds like bull to me.

They just want cons and markets on a frequent basis as far as i know.

>>9214730
If a video comes up, could you link it? Very curious now.

>>9214243
Cringing at the lame sense of humor. Edit-anon, I expected better from you..

>>9214243
Cringing at the lame sense of humor of the added events. Edit-anon, I expected better from you.. At least 'Tomofail' is a good edit in there, cause they deserve that nickname.

>>9214216
"too many conventions" comes from the quality>quantity crowd. But that said I guess maybe if there are conventions trying to kick others out, I think it might be the expo ones (Dutch Comic Con+Amsterdam Comic Con+First Look) being like that, rather than the anime conventions. Or maybe that's just my image of them.

Half of the dealers is already gone or packing

>>9214793
>DCC has two editions, both are held way outside our traditional convention season. Also they cancelled their Halloween edition due to "a lack of quality" which shows character.
>SM ACC did overlap with Abunai this year, but next year it will be held the weekend after Abunai. In other words now they'll only be competing for people's wallets rather than the same weekend.
>Firstlook is mostly targeted at gamers rather than anime fans. Also they had this weekend nearly every year while Nishicon used to be in November. So if anything l, Nishicon decided to compete with Firstlook here.
Yeah, while I don't really like these type of cons myself I would say they are actively trying to compete with the other cons. Besides in the end people can always vote with their wallets, no?

>>9214840
Nishicon is restricted by the "theater agenda" sams as animecon back in the day.
I did hear there moving back to november.

>>9214840
I do like that DCC is helr outside of the regular con season, otherwise off-season would be way too long.

>>9214871
Same here, although this off-season does have more content to it with one event/con every month until April. With MGC, DCC, Tomo Amsterdam, Yaycon, DCC again and Elfia.

>>9214871
Same here, although this off-season does have more content to it with one event/con every month until April with MGC, RetroCon, TerraCon, Midwinter Fair, DCC, TomoFair, Yaycon, DCC again, TomoCon and Elfia.

And the first set of Nishicon pictures has just been posted on Facebook: https://www.flickr.com/photos/ikacosplay/sets/72157673639825412

Also a lot of people seem disappointed about the con, poor staff members...

>>9214840
> I would say they are actively trying to compete with the other cons
I think you mean either:
"I wouldn't say they are actively trying to compete with the other cons"
or
"I would say they aren't actively trying to compete with the other cons"
But thanks for the explanation, I guess in that case, we don't really have to fear anything in terms of competition.

>>9214947
It's been a long weekend for me and not in the "being busy at a con" fun kind of way. But yes, I meant "I wouldn't say".

Nishicon was kinda fun I guess, but it could've been so much better. The location doesn't really bother me.

>>9214840
>Also they cancelled their Halloween edition due to "a lack of quality" which shows character.
Read: not enough tickets sold.

is it me or is that guy who ran the yaycon stand loosing weight?? heard hes gay so should i give it a shot???

>>9215112
Haven't seen him in a while, but if so.. good for him!

>>9215112
Don't give him a shot. He doesn't deserve to get killed ;w;

>>9215107
>Read: not enough tickets sold
They cancelled it pretty early on tho and said something about there not being enough special guests available to make it worthwhile. But yeah, poor ticket sales probably played a part as well.

Also TomoMark is worried about Nishicon. What a good guy!

..

>>9215120
shots don't kill, they just cause severe autism.

I'm surprised people are questioning the logic of the "Viencon" name.

The guy is like a 32 year old basement dweller with the cash to organize shit and wear a unfashionable expensive suit because he lives with his folks, I imagine he's "wereldvreemd" as all fuck so he starts cons named in the first person because he feels that somewhere this has to be about him.

Not that weird.

>>9215174
So we can also expect KelderCon from him?

DungeonCon?
https://www.fb.com/DungeonCon-1629861810611080/?fref=ts

>>9215193
>DungeonCon
Sounds like a Fetlife cosplay event... Tickets where?

>>9215174
If he is the definition of a basement dweller, then you might as well call all of us that? If you're gonna bash on someone, at least type things that make sense with the person in question. Also an*..

>>9215112
if we're talking about the same guy, you're probably not gonna have a hard time wooing him. Not much in the confidence or conversation area there. Got a pretty nice dick though.

>>9215160
yeas mark is a good guy! he's a bit extravagant but deep down he's a good guy.

>>9215722
yeah, I haven't seen him because he went to firstlook in stead of nishicon.

nishicon was awesome BTW. deshima actually played some awesome music. is it because they were back in the same hotel where they originally started?

>>9215723
I don't know about deshima, I was at the karaoke at that time. they're keep getting better every year, they even had a whole stash of kpop this year!

>>9215724
yeah and luckily it wasn't that busy as usual so we didn't have to wait for over 1 hour to sing our song.

anywhow how was firstlook?

>>9212652
I got an email from Karlijn.....
and it didnt take place this saterday... so yeah, I got a source...

>>9215725
Firstlook was pretty fun. I expected the majority to catcall cosplayers, but I didn't notice any of that, atleast not towards me or my friends. A lot of pictures taken and accidentally got a VIP wristband which was pretty sweet. A lot of fun games and the WCS and C4 were done a lot better than last years WCS compo.

>>9212643
Yes the Saturday compo at Firstlook was cancelled due to a sponsor partner backing down (what I heard anyway).
But WCS and CCCC on Sunday went on as planned.

>>9212652

>>9214243
This is what the drama was all about? Whoa, that's just sad.

>>9215725
First time at Firstlook for me and I found out trying out games in public isn't for me, also it was pretty dark. Next time I'll have a cosplay, which I think would make it a bit more fun for me personally.

Is anyone going to Imagicon?

What I'm wondering is if there is anyone going to Japan Festival? http://www.japanfestival.nl/japan-festival/ I think it's organized by the Japanese community, so that's nice. However, it's kind of too bad they don't seem to know how to promote their event with the right crowd, apart from maybe one post in CosplayNL. I guess it's similar to Japan Markt, but at least that event has plenty of mouth-to-mouth promotion now.

>>9215838
There is a big Japanese community in Amstelveen. Also a few years ago it was in the same weekend as AnimeCon, so it is good that they planned it on another date.

>>9215724
Actually I had a bad karaoke experience

>Come in, room is completely empty aside from karaoke staff
>Request song
>"That will be 30 min"
>They have filled up the queue themselves
>Whatever, no problem
>My friends enter
>They want to request 3 songs
>No you can't do that, it will clog up the queue and when new people come in they will have to wait too long

And the songs they sung were really boring and took forever...

>>9215838
If it's organised by an actual Japanese community, maybe the reason they're not actively promoting it with cosplayers is because they don't want their event to be overrun by screaming weebs in bathrobes and plastic wigs.

>>9215842
except that they didn't
the staff told me they only do songs themselves if there are less than 10 songs in a row. most full-size songs are around 4 minutes, so a 30 minutes queue is 7 songs, at friday after 9 in the evening there were 3 staff members and 6 other visitors so a 30 minute queue is quite reasonable IMHO.

>>9215838
They asked us the Overwatch group trough Instagram to attend their cosplay stage show. Which I found odd, because Overwatch isn't japanese at all. We still havent decided. But they are actively searching out people for their cosplay show it seems.

>>9215845
>>9215847
and because they have a monitor showing accurate timings when it's your turn most of the people request, then go out and come back after the waiting time is over.

>>9215845
Exactly what you say. But I saw there is a Cosplay Competition?

>>9215849
they asked this for DC cosplays on instagram, also no japanese stuff. They even contacted me twice after I turned it down the first time because it's also FACTS that weekend. Kind of annoying to get asked twice by the same organisation on the same ocialmedia platform. Also weird that they are going around asking cosplayers to join instead of posting all over facebook or any other platform...

>>9215855
Or you could feel complimented, they went through to the trouble of approaching you directly which says something about your costumes.

>>9215858
Exactly! We felt complimented as well! I spoke to her in DM and she was so sincere and full of enthusiasm for her cause. I personally feel overwatch is not at place at a fair like this. So we'll probably just skip.

The WCS and C4 qualifiers were at Firstlook right? How did those go?

>>9215858
sure thing, but that's not how it works imho. I thanked the girls, don't get me wrong! I won't ever get cocky when it comes to cosplaying, but it's a weird way of handling a cosplay competition/catwalk and if someone turns it down, just check them off.

>>9215842
following >>9215847 's logic:
isn't it very antisocial to request 4 songs in a row?
that means you occupy the karaoke for an entire 15 minutes without giving other visitors a chance to sing as well!
I think it's pretty sensible to deny a request like that!

>>9215842
I had a great karaoke experience during the whole weekend. Staff was nice and easy to talk to. There were no technical problems.

About the length of the queue: i can imagine if there's no one who requested a song the staff is going to fall in to keep things going on and attract people.

Also i can imagine the staff getting bored from time to time and want to sing a song as well, heck they provided this service to begin with.

And then if there's a group who want to sing i can imagine they told them to just request one song as 3 songs can easily take around 15-20 minutes. This means the public has to see the group for that amount of time. I think that's rather selfish. If you want to perform as a group and want to sing multiple songs, why not just hire a room and sing as a band and arrange a gig?

Again i had lots of fun during the karaoke and been following this group for a while now. They have plenty of songs to choose from and when they don't have the song you want to sing they will add it to the library later at the next convention!

Was everything else at Nishi so boring that everybody can only talk about karaoke?

>>9215889
not at all, the gameroom was quite nice, played puyo puyo against some very strong opponents!
they also had stuff like just dance and other music games i'm a fan of.

Happy to read some positive things about Nishicon!

>>9215889
Lawl, nah it was quite fun :D
Got some great quality time with my friends again, and got to play some ddr. Saturday and sunday were the days with the most people! i didn't attend any workshops or watched any anime.. x3
The gameroom was very nice although i missed the game Tekken since i love that game!
Too bad i couldn't get to try out SoundVoltex but next time i will

>>9215847
Uh, they did? How would you even know? I didn't even specify when this happened, which wasn't on Friday by the way.

>>9215882
I don't care really, as long as the rules apply to everyone? I don't think it's fair I have to listen to the staff sing their songs for 30 mins, and then my friends can't do the same (aside from my friends there were still no other visitors).

I get that they sing in between to keep things going, but that is different from filling the queue up for 30 mins. Also they could've skipped their 'filling' songs when I requested my song, opposed to making visitors wait that long.

>>9215886
It is selfish. But why is it okay for the staff to do it then? I had to wait thirty minutes and they could've liked, skipped a song or two. It was the same two staff people filling up the queue.

>>9215889
Pretty much, yeah.

>>9215916
again 30 minutes is not a long queue! it's 7 songs, if you have 3 staff members waiting for their turn just like regular visitors you already filled up half of the queue.
the staff also sits there the entire day, so how would you know THEY filled up the queue? they could in stead just join someone else perhaps?

>>9215923
If 7 songs isn't a long queue for 2 staff members, how is 3 songs for my group of friends (~5) too much to ask?

And how I know they filled up the queue? Well, what about the fact that the same 2 people sung all the songs? And that they were behind the karaoke control panel when they weren't singing?

Please stop defending yourself, this is awkward.

Sorry, but a good guy would try to clean his mess up, not just cover his own arse.

>>9215160
Maybe he should worry about his own conventions and the people who almost die or end up in the hospital there.

>>9215112
You should.
Unless you want a monogamic, exclusive relationship...

But his bj skills are outstanding, I wonder if he does threesomes, my girlfriend could learn a thing or two from him.

>>9215833
I will be cosplaying Gascoigne there, should be fun.

If i see Soundvortex or sega MaiMai I will be so damn happy. Those games are any rhythmgame- fanatics' wet dream! Sucha shame you never see those outside of japan...

Did I miss a sex tape?

Can't wait for FACTS, it is the only good convention for this month anyway.

>Nishicon: What was the most fun and why was it karaoke?

Because it was the only things that was actually up and running properly. The DDR was moved three times, the cosplaycompo was not great, and most of the activities and workshops were canceled...

Main reason: not enough candidates

>>9217627
You might want to post that in the new thread rather than the old one...
