Agreed, Sat was ok but it was defo a normie con which I was expecting. Nowhere near worth the 22 quid ticket price for a single day, never mind the 60 odd for the whole weekend. I also thought it was fucking stupid the system they had around the entry halls. They were only letting wristband holders in through both hall entrances but single day stamped people could only go through another which I totally did not understand.

>> No.10126683

If Ame really wanted something to happen, they'd make it happen. It's not as though Warwick is the only venue on this shitty island. If they could run at the Brittania and run the risk of killing the attendees then they could settle to downsize and try a different hotel or uni.
I just wish either Kita or Ame would make some noise that something is going on. I'm sure most of the community are willing to slum it until Warwick returns instead of having nothing for potentially two years.

>> No.10126693

Both Ame and Kita lost most of their staff, and they were all part of the older generation who were winding down anyway.
You'd have to hope the remaining staff can build a working committee from the people they trust, or their gophers (which would be terrifying).

We might see one of them in 2020 but not both, and coming back is unlikely after when there has been near radio silence for this long.

It was towards the end, panel finished about 5 mins later anyway due to time slot.

I'm annoyed I didn't go to it after attending most other feedback panels.

Not to be a bitch here, but maybe the lack of sympathy for those who volunteer their time is why most of Kita and ame threw in the towel? If they really wanted to run they could have just found another venue, Warwick University is hardly the only venue in the country

>> No.10126917

>>10126909
Nah, it was fairly dull until that bit. Stuff about the venue building overrunning work affecting events, accommodation being so over demand to previous events they ran out and other issues which I forget. Likely registration delay. Then they opened floor to questions. That seemed to be mostly a rerun of accommodation or access for disabled people and registrations payment window. Probs the same sort of thing you’d seen before if you are a feedback panel veteran. It didn’t get shouty or defensive as the guy running it was extremely chilled. Too chilled desu. After a diff guy said about having to step back social media for a bit another member of the committee chipped in and came on stage. They then said about work life balance/mortgage/job and how they couldn’t respond as fast as people evidentially liked and welled up. Then things sorta wrapped up. A few people hung around the stage after and asked direct questions as the room was reset but I left to go change for the party.

I think a lot of it was to do with the reception that Ame got at Keele. It was a sound location and a lot has improved in recent years. But the attendants were allergic to exercise and walking around between panel rooms, which could most likely be remedied once the construction finished. That's all I could find wrong with it and since then they haven't been back despite the fantastic photo ops and the committee setting up the use of Keele Hall exclusively for the attendants.

As a result they're all afraid of trying anything new. Warwick was highly praised and became prime real estate for cons to run at following Ayacon's demise. AmeChibi was clearly on a tight budget. Why do you think both Kita and Ame claimed it? At that point why even bother to differentiate between the two conventions since they had very little to separate them anymore.

It's frustrating to me because Ame should be fresh faced and ready to go after they got themselves into bother/being unable to run and Kita having to bail them out by running twice and AmeChibi being a smaller event, only for them to have to die back down again.

Cons should have A teams and B teams, so if one person fails to do the job they have someone to fall back on or they can lighten the load and share the weight of responsibilities - especially when it comes to replying to messages or social media. Maybe not for every position but enough that they don't burn out and turn into a mess in the face of criticism.

>> No.10126928

So we now have a situation where committees are too fearful of how people will react to change?

Seems that people are just too demanding and selfish. I could see why people would chuck in volunteering their time and just not bother. How depressing

>> No.10126932

>>10126922
I wouldn’t call it bail them out. Ame didn’t have a venue, kita ran twice. Ame did the same for aya in 06,07 and 08. They just agree not to run same years.

The window to run a summer con is over 6 weeks. If the venue is booked or another event like tokonatsu or an expo is around the same time you have to factor that in. Likewise what rooms are available at the venue. In the feedback panel the guy said they could have ran on a different weekend but have no onsite accommodation due to another conference on at the time. It’s not just a case of finding a suitable location.

>> No.10126933

>>10126928

Pretty much! The issue with that is that things become stagnant, flowing water vs still water and all that shit. Attendants are just too entitled these days and often forget that these people aren't paid to put up with their bullshit. So if it keeps them happy and quiet they'll just keep doing what they've always done instead of trying to better themselves, for the sake of the cons lifespan and the attendees.

I believe in the notion of not fixing something if it isn't broken, but at the moment we have a huge car crash and no survivors, and a good opportunity for the cons to reinvent themselves, especially Kita with the handing over to a new chair who hopefully won't fuck it up.

Everyone knows that there is that bunch of loud vocal weebs that demend they be specially catered for.
But the staff also give way too much leeway and attention to the attendees that cause so much of the drama they can't really expect anything else.

And if you think the staff actually give a fuck about the attendees opinions on how to run the event, or what venue they should take, you're an idiot. They know they will sell tickets wherever they set up and no one will care after the event if they run it properly and make it fun.

Need to add on pricing for this too.
I know the kita staff spent weeks looking for other places that had all the options for space and ammenities, also had the licenses to allow the late parties till 3/4am each day, actually wanted a con after finding out what exactly what they were and what went down. Places rarely hit all of those to an acceptable level.

This sort of stuff was looked into, but the idea of doing the smaller easter con again was always on the table, but people wanted time off, so skip untill anniversary that ended up not happening.

And the new committee will be a gamble since they have nearly all of the positions to fill, they will have to start off on a small one likely or risk tanking it.

It's considered professional courtesy to let other cons know that the venue will be available, and it means they also wont feel like they are taking away from kita.

At the feedback panel people complained about the poor communication on social media. Like the incident with all the servers going going during registration etc, social media should have been giving people constant updates on what was going on, reassuring worriers and keeping people informed. Turns out the reason there were no updates was because the person in charge of social media is a flake and got too stressed out to fucking post. She then promptly burst into tears at people saying she didn't do her job and ran off stage.

I actually get paid to shitpost on my company's social media profiles, and the most basic level of training is 'keeping people informed is the most important thing'. So it's clear they gave the job to someone who thought it was going to be an easy ego boost, not realising you need to work hard and have a thick skin. Nobody cares about your fucking feelings, only the content you post.

The social media side is the best part of my job. It's really satisfying when people DM you with a problem and you're able to help them.

When I'm looking after work experience students their faces light up when I get to how to run social media, because they think it's all going by glamorous selfie taking and being an influencer. It's not, corporate social media is as cynical and clinical as fuck. It's about pandering to your main market (yes, bushinesses can see your personal information and when you're checking our pages) and growing your followers for more exposure. It's about being relatable whilst maintaining a fake persona. The whole thing is hugely manipulative. The main commandments of corporate social media are:

>Post content often
>Use damage control ASAP
>If you can't damage control, at least respond so people think you're doing something
>Don't take things personally

The person running the Amecon social media fucked up on all four of them- I'm guessing she was like the work experience students that thought it would be sparkly fun instead trying to placate hundreds of angry customers at once. Yeah, it may be a fun job, but it's still a job and you still need to be a fucking professional. You don't get the luxuries you get for your personal accounts. You're the public face of an organisation and you need to be damn good at it.

Most con social media folks do it so they become one of the known faces of the con and get to bask in the percieved popularity of having a few hundred weebs talk about how 'they totally know someone on thr committee'.
They tend to forget it actually involves shit loads of work, it's basically the same as answering endless emails only everyone can see what both sides say.

And 100% agree, they do not understand damage control

Honestly, most of us buy a cosplay or source the components online rather than making from scratch. There are a few people who make some crazy stuff from hand, but there's absolutely no shame in starting off small and giving whatever you're up for a go.

There is nothing there that’s the biggest problem. One of the biggest complaints people have is that there’s nothing to do there, followed by staff being useless and not dealing with attendees threatening each other. It’s a shit show and I don’t know how it’s even still going.

>>10131343
So, for a start you have comic con’s around the country. They’re regular, and the number of them means you might not have to travel far. These are the busiest cons, so you’ll have a lot of attendees, but this can reach the point of being overbearing. I’d argue comic con’s the less comfy con. I personally enjoy it just to look around and spend time with friends. It’s not a write off but it kinda’ lacks the soul some smaller cons might have. If you’ve never taken a look before, I’d still go just to see what it’s like.

Then you’ve got the ‘main’ summer cons around the country that aren’t comic con. Usually the big fun one is Kita/Amecon, but you’ve picked an unlucky year where neither is running, they usually alternate on and off. Those cons are a measure smaller, comfier, and a lot more weebier than the bigger cons, I think it’s cute.

There are still other cons running, but I’m less informed about those, other anons might know some more. Tokonatsu is a fun weeb one I’m excited for, but it’s camping, and as a result can be a struggle, especially in the heat. While it’s good fun, it’s really not your usual con.

Then we’ve got hotel cons, which are a bit smaller again at maybe 200 or less attendee’s. By this point you’ve tipped the scale from a huge comic con with entire warehouses full of vendors and such with thousands of attendee’s, to a bunch of people that recognise each other and maybe a single room with a dozen or less small vendors. These kinda’ cons can be my favourite, though quality might vary depending on who’s running the event. I tried Hibanacon last year, and that was pretty good imo, though it didn’t seem to be for everyone.

So, the smaller it gets, the comfier it gets, though that’s not to say bigger can’t be enjoyable too. It’s down to what you want to do too, one con might be better if, say, you want to find collectibles and stuff, another if you want a drink with friends.

It's.. here and there. It's a busy and bustling one, so you won't have some totally dead room, but it's got it's issues. The Fox, the pub itself, becomes an Industrial Grade Sweatbox, Elite Gamer Edition. If you burn out 2 to 3 senses on spirits it's more bearable, plus they play the good dumb shit like Busted or Naruto.

There are a good number of absolute fuckboys too that won't respect your boundaries at all, it can get nervewracking at times. If you're a person that's bothered by that, maybe just stay aware of where peopld you know are.

The whole area around the pub is a chill temperature and still busy for conversation though. If nothing else, it's an interesting night.

Liam got banned from hj for showing his awful ass pics to people, i was one of them. In line for food and decided it would be a good idea to stop and chat and show off his ass insta. He made a facebook live later on screaming how everyone did this and hated him due to his autism because apparently being autistic makes everyone hate them. This was in the middle of the train station by tobacco too.
But liam makes me and a bunch of friends feel awkwsrd to be around and though we try to avoid him, he still approaches us and doesnt get the idea we dont want to be around him when we rush off faster than light itself to get away.

He's autistic, he's not going to get cues like that. Literally just say to him that you find him annoying and don't want to hang out.

honestly why doesn't he have a chaperone? Showing naked pics of himself is more than enough reason, but him not knowing social queues to the extent of taking props off people and breaking them even if he didn't mean too, thats bad.
Back in 2014 I was warned before i went to a con to under any circumstances not let him touch a prop i had, he came up to me and almost took it off me since at the time I wasn't clued in the art of ignoring and walking away.

That’s not how it works. Autism is a large spectrum with a lot of different symptoms. You’re clearly high functioning. But many people with autism actually have below average IQ, and are much less capable of acting like a normal person. Obviously idk if this guy actually is oblivious to his behaviours or just uses autism as an excuse, but you can’t just assume one. He should have a chaperone though if he claims to be too autistic to behave correctly in public.
