Thought so as well, but thanks for confirming.

Eirtakon has been in shambles this year for everything. A bit disappointing.

>>7962326

Broderick has gone to Canadia now. It was some young staffer who was taking pictures with a nice enough camera. She introduced herself as the 'official photographer,' so I assume she's the one doing the uploading.

Broderick was excellent when he was there though. Very nice man.

[Anonymous No.7962741]

>>7962709
Kaizoku con is actually mad craic. It was the most fun i've had at a con in years. Bit of a treck to cork but the bar was cheap and the guests were so damn nice. I'd recommend it. It is also one of the rare drama free cons.

Why would he leave his own con...

[Anonymous No.7962788]

>>7962724
I've gotten word from a con associate that there's a huge shake-up happening following all the shite this year. Hopefully this means all the stuff is arranged in time for next year.

Kieran was the best photographer Eirta had, especially considering he did it all out of his own free time. It's gonna be a hard job finding a long-term replacement for him that's of a similar nature (and similar price!)

>>7962783
Probably would be more accurately surmised as "voluntarily stepped down from the committee". Maybe he wants to try avoid the stigmata of Arcade being dubbed the "DeclanDoodyCon"?

[Anonymous No.7962815]

>huge shakeup

So the committee aren't going to be unprofessional idiots telling people to kill themselves over the internet and stuff will actually run on time?

Good gravy, it almost sounds as if this radical shakeup would is meeting the bare minimum standards required for any con. Good on them!

[Anonymous No.7962846]

>>7962815
Maybe. Might not go to that extent, but afaik it's actually going to allow some sort of multi-year arrangements, so that there's no more "oh we can't agree to this because it's next year's committee's problem" bullshit excuses for things.

Kaizoku was a first year con last year, meaning a lot of traders wouldn't want to risk going down in case they made a loss. I'd say with the success they had last year it should help spruce up the trade hall for them for the upcoming year.

Akuma should be good craic, I always have a great weekend at it. It's not too far away from me so it'll make a change from having to pay inflated Dublin prices for accommodation and booze. Roll on January!

I think I found it.

>With a community that is so inwardly focused, so enthusiastic and so prone to throwing themselves into everything, sometimes one can come away from some drama or fallout with their self-esteem battered. This workshop aims to counter that, with a mix of aversion therapy teachings, motivational speaking and other pop-psychology buzzwords that sound really pretentious but actually work quite well. The endgame is for everyone to leave the workshop feeling better about themselves.

That sounds... ineffectual at best, dangerous at the worst, particularly if the speaker wasn't, you know, trained for this. I guess it can't be worse than those motivational speakers though.

[Anonymous No.7964978]

>>7963859
My friend dragged me to it. She had some good points but some of them I didn't agree with, particularly the point of "the only reason people can possibly be mean to you is because they are projecting their past failures on to you and you're an outlet for their anger/embarrassment".
She also said to only take constructive criticism and if someone is just being hurtful to ignore them. I feel like she was half correct, I mean she's right really, it's shite critique if someone doesn't really tell you what you're doing wrong and just tells you're "you're shit", that's not critique. But she didn't mention that sometimes critique can be both constructive and harsh, she seemed to imply that critique that you take on board should only be nicely worded stuff, and that's just not true. If someone is being harsh to you then see if there is any truth in what they are saying and how you can take what they are saying to improve yourself, even if it's harsh. If it's just stuff like "kill yourself" yeah feel free to ignore but otherwise don't dismiss valid critique just because it isn't worded in the nicest way possible...

[Anonymous No.7964997]

I had a lot to say during the mental health panel, but they ran overtime so they had to wrap it up quick. I think these mental health awareness groups have good intentions, but are going about it the wrong way. Putting in more laws to stop people's feeling getting hurt is not a solution.

It's because it is utterly pointless to destroy the hierarchies created by Government if you do not also destroy the hierarchies created by Private Industry (ie : capitalism). Therefore the only true form of anarchy is anarcho-communism.

Whatever your opinions of Eirtakon or Non-Com, or any other convention in Ireland for that matter, I doubt any of them have managed a failure quite as epic in scope and intensity as this.

From two guests dropping out, to the ball-pit, to deformation on 4chan, to a schedule so dull and uninteresting it will turn people away, to stupid date-picking, all the way up to having Geek Eire involved and achieving the staggering total of 35 pre-registrations..... to blaming 4chan for the inevitable failure

Whatever else is said about any other con in Ireland, now we know what a truly malorganised and bad con is.

Eirtakon has problems with loosing experience. Nom-con has problems running on time. Akumakon is in fucking Galway and Kaizokukon has the worst fucking bar of any convention in Ireland. Arcadecon is, well, it's arcadecon....

But these are all but molehills compared to the monumental mountain of mishap that Otakucon will be.

All we need now is Otakon going derp on them, and the cards will be complete for true Epic Fail.

Are they a for profit con? I haven't seen any mention of a charity anywhere. Though what charity would want to get involved with them anyway

Two reatards and a packet of crisps can run a better convention then this faggot

Granted, innocent until proven guilty, witnesses can't necessarily be trusted most of the time, but really, can anyone actually not see yer man doing something like that?

I've heard no mention of any charity from them. Sounds like a for profit con to me.

Anyone here work for Revenue? For-profit cons have to pay taxes.

[Anonymous No.7986715]

so basically the only up side to this con being on is that it won't happen again?

[Anonymous No.7986719]

>>7986713
Yes, they do.
If they pull in a profit.
And if their annual revenue is above a certain limit.
I don't think there's a chance of either of those.

Technically, all non-university ons in Ireland as 'for-profit'. In practice, they all run at a loss, or such a low profit that their taxes are fuck all.

[Anonymous No.7986724]

>>7986713
I don't think there is a hope in hell that they are going to turn a profit!

[Anonymous No.7986726]

Wait, how did he come to the conclusion that she was lying/exaggerating? From yer man's word alone?

[Anonymous No.7986737]

>>7986733
Probably.
"Hey buddy did you assault some chick."
"Nah man I just slapped her on the ass!"
"Haha you go dude!"
Or something along those lines.

[Anonymous No.7986738]

>>7986733
because all he did was 'slap her on the ass' according to bayley anyway

[Anonymous No.7986739]

>>7986733
"Did ya do it?"
"No."
"K den."

Actual conversation that happened.

[Anonymous No.7986740]

>>7986733
Pretty much. Although i know the girl who been claiming it. She's kind of attentiony, but i still believe it is the type of thing that guy would do.

[Anonymous No.7986743]

>>7986733
He got help from anonymous people.

TBH if he announced that Jesus and Joseph came down from haven on a large dick.
Then announced that bailey didn't do it.

I wouldn't be surpised

whats the latest word on the guy at otakucon? will he still be there?

[Anonymous No.7986837]

Quote from the Otakucon guy's page: "I am beginning to see more and more why David Vincent thinks so highly of everyone in the Otaku con staff"

Is David Vincent too nice or completely delusional?

If you could read anon. You would see that he's not staffing as it would hurt the convention.........

[Anonymous No.7986859]

Yes because the con director showing very public support for him wont hurt the convention at all.
