A month and change away until the Gaylord is stuffed full. Who's going, what are you cosplaying, and will you Lobbycon?

>> No.10044002

>>10044000
Who’s cosplay at magfest? lel. I go there for the game and music.

Also, you can’t lobbycon at mag eIther. The security check is a Gaylord thing, not katsucon

>> No.10044008

>>10044000
You can't lobbycon at MAGFest anymore. Both the convention and the resort is enforcing a Closed Profile policy for the duration of the event.

Unless you are staying in the hotel with a key card, you are not Lobbyconning at all.

>> No.10044043

Has MAGFest made an official announcement about no lobbyconning yet? It doesn’t personally affect me, but I can see that news catching many off guard, especially if they don’t attend Katsu and aren’t aware of the new policy.

>> No.10044509

>>10044043
Magfest hasn’t said anything so I’m pretty sure it was a katsucon decision not a gaylord decision. I know they said “in cooperation with the gaylord” but I’m pretty sure they still had to discuss it with the hotel. Also magfest has much more worth doing that requires a badge so ghosting probably isn’t as big of an issue to them

>> No.10044538

Nah. All my MAG staffer friends already confirmed it. they’re just withholding the info to fuck with the freeloading cosplayers/photographers. since most of them don’t buy badges

The ones who don't pay clog up the gazebo area on Saturday because it isn't as crowded as Katsu. Now that Katsu banned lobbyconners it'll just be worse this year unless they act on it like Katsu did. I don't blame them for hating those people at all

Depends, last year there was one room full of party wizards that I wandered into and had a nice time, you just need to read the situation. Your best bet for finding a hotel room party is walking up and talking/befriending people, that’s how I usually do it.
>>10055643
Security is usually fine but I only went for one year. If people started talking about noise complaints I usually leave. Hotel parties aren’t the only kind tho, Magfest also has a rave. With it being 24/7 there’s usually some event or group having a fun time.

I think people have trouble with mag because they're too used to normal cons. The goal is to stay drunk the whole time, listen to a ton of music, find parties, maybe do some coke and break into places, and play a bunch of video games.

There are other companies that operate much in the same way that Tokyo Attack does. There are also individuals who own games. It's not completely absurd to think of someone owning their own IIDX. I remember seeing a cab go for as cheap as $1000 years ago. I think $3000 is pretty much the low end for one these days.

These businesses also tend to have started as people who owned a few games themselves and just steadily bought more and more for the business.


This is a few years old but still makes the point of how things work.

Accurate enough. Arcadency controls Colorado, AZHP controls AZ, there is Arcade Impact as well. Speaking for Arcadency, they have at least 22 of the popular games to bring, including Taiko, ID8, Gunslinger, Popn, Jubeat, SDVX, etc. Magfest wont take us because it's too far away, not because SPX has exclusive control over Mag.

Didn't they break an elevator in 2016? There was an AMV of the elevator party that broke it on youtube for awhile.

Just had a baby, so I won’t be going to Magfest this year. Counting the days until she’s old enough to play board games and I can do family cosplay.

Yes, let's use the anti-Semitic version of Wikipedia to make fun of someone with cognitive disabilities. What a great time to be had by all.
