I used to think of Nom-Con as the sad babby con, but it really is the one that focuses most on non-Western media these days. Pity the guests are kinda shit, though. I don't give half a fuck about cosplay guests, I wish cons would stop bringing them in.

Yeah not mad about english voice actors myself. A lot of the time I want to slap them and tell them to act and not just speak in their own accent/voice. I can understand getting cheap cosplay guests especially here in Ireland where cosplay is still taking off. Don't think it's a case of oh my gosh I need their autograph but usually they are skilled and can offer tips as well as displaying some good cosplay.

Akumakon usually gets Japanese guests which is great. This year they got the guy that directed Haruhi season one which was quite cool.

MCM have been known to impose conditions on guests that they can't do another convention within a certain distance and certain amount of time before or after their event.

Like for example they get a guest, that means he can't do a convention in, say, Scotland for three months before or three months after MCM's event.

I can't remember if Eirta was two weeks before MCM or two weeks after but that would fall into the time conditions and Dublin could fall under the distance conditions.

Declan apparently said this in relation to autograph signings on facebook:

"I'm just going to step in here - there will be a fee, we're doing our best to make it as accessible for everyone but this is a nonprofit event.

I nor any of the team here make money from this - it's done out of a love for our community. I sold my 3DS this week just so I could have a bigger budget for decorations - you might think that's dumb? It probably was but I can't wait to see how people react to the Ballroom on Saturday night - it's going to look mega and that means a tonne more to me than the console.

Once we settle on a price or plan for signings we will post it! Doing the best we can folks!"

Now hang on he's so desparate for money he's selling his 3DS to fund it? Me thinks he just wanted to sell it. Also he's declaring it a non-profit which is total bullshit when it's well known he pays himself a wage.

Also figures flying around say €15-€20 for the autograph and he still doesn't know on the day of the event? WTF

I'm calling bullshit on this! According to the game stop website the trade in value of a 3DS is €100 at most. If you're budget is so exact that €100 makes a noticeable difference to anything, then you are fucked! I mean what if someone throws up or breaks a window? How will you pay for it?

I saw that thread. People seem to be under the impression it's a common thing cause DCC and MCM charge (they are large trade expos) but's not for a fan-run con. Someone even said that they pay for their own flights and accommodation so they got to charge. Con's pay for the flight's, accommodation, and a fee normally so they don't need to charge for signatures

Seriously some people will just eat up what Declan and co tell them.

Oh you mean Ellen who donated all her signing fees to the charity auction? Don't think anyone would mind paying if it went to charity.

Guests charge typically at large events. At smaller events like fan-run cons here and in England they usually don't as they get a fixed fee instead from the con. Basically everyone pays for the guest when they buy a ticket into the con.

OK, shitlord reporting in.

I'm at AC, so far so good. There's a fair few queuing for pre-reg. Ducklan is currently behind the pre-reg desk.

There's a Dunnes and an off-licence (hurrah!) across the road.

Queuing for pre-reg was a bit irritating though as the hotel have a pair of lovebirds and they won't shut the fuck up.

I won a pair of free tickets to AC so I'm not out of pocket

I'll report back if there's any drama

With conventions there's two ways of securing guests.

1) Pay for their flights, hotel and an appearance fee.

2) Pay for flights, hotel and let them charge of signatures. They usually want a guaranteed amount, so if Troy wanted a 3k appearance fee and only made 2k on signatures, Arcade would need to pay him the extra 1k.

Eirtakon paid the appearance fee and that's why Troy wasn't gonna charge.

Arcade Con thought they were smart getting guests cheaper than other cons and letting them charge but it really has backfired, also I called up Crowne plaza and got a quote on their rooms, they are paying fuck all for them.

I want to also mention MCMs voice actors didnt charge last year and aren't charging this year. You pay 3 euro for the MYM magazine and the signature is free.

That's exactly it. Most cons in Ireland pay the guest an appearance fee so they don't need to worry about raising extra money. I get that he was maybe more expensive but they raised their ticket prices so that should've easily covered that. How does everyone else afford guests without raising ticket prices and having attendees pay for the guest inside the con?

So many adoring weebs. I may puke.
Nobody has a complaint against Troy. The man needs to be paid but I just don't like that Declan has the balls to charge extra for his con while making attendees cover the guest as an extra charge. It might be understandable if not for other similar cons managing to get big guests without them needing to charge, and while charging less in the door. Also he failed to properly announce this fact and still hasn't told people how much extra they'll need to pay which is really sly of him.

They finally announced Troy's fees. 20 euro for a signature, 10 for a photo and 10 for a voice recording.

That cost from a non-profit convention is such an ungodly rip-off. I just can't believe people would be willing to pay 40 quid for entry. Just to pay for more shit that's included at every other convention

They are saying they have no power over how much Troy pays, even if they paid him a small bit he would have reduced his signature fee and fucking charging to take selfies with him? I know 100% they came up with that. I really hope Troy or his agent sees they're trying to pass the blame on to him..

The worst part is that this would have been in his contract long before the con, they knew the whole time but didn't want to announce because it would stop people from going and handing over their money. I hope some people are smart enough to demand a refund and get the hell out of there before they start charging them for seats at panels

That's probably because there's no way in hell Otakucon could afford to pay their guests an appearance fee. On the arcade they're currently claiming that they had no control over this whatsoever and had no idea until today what the price would be. Sure guys, that's totally believable. He would have had to sign a contract long before now, it's pretty shit that they keep blaming him

Anonymous Fri Jul 3 16:56:25 2015 No.8449593

Some people trying to defend the prices are social climbing fucktards. That's all.

Seriously. Arcade con are trying to pull a fast one and pull the wool over peoples eyes that they did not know in advance how much he was going to charge? Get real. This is the sort of stuff that is organized and planned and discussed when initially getting a guest. Shower of bastards couldn't organize a pissup in a brewery without charging people an arm and a leg.

I saw that. He's a fucking idiot.
As he said he paid Veronica Taylor some money and she reduced her signing fee. I mean they don't come for free. They need an appearance fee which a lot of cons over here pay. Cons that don't are cheap and trying to make more money for themselves.

DCC and MCM are profit making events so if they can get a guest for cheaper then they will. That's how they can have so many guests as well.

This is absolutely the con's fault. I've been on the committee for one of the conventions that does not and has never charged for signings. Every year a guest is contacted. The guest gives their terms - usually accomodation, flights and an appearance fee. The con then tries to negotiate down the apperance fee (this is standard practice). They usually hit a number where the guest will say "Ok, I'll take a reduction of 500 in my appearance fee OR I take a reduction of 700 but I will charge for any signings/photos". It is then up to the con to choose whether they pay the extra appearance fee and allow attendees 1-2 free autographs/photos or they pay the cheaper fee and make attendees pay for the photos.

Most of the cons choose to just pay the bit extra in the appearance fee as it makes attendees a lot happier.

Arcade Con are a shower of scroungers who chose to pay the reduced fee. They also would have signed this contract months ago - it is an absolute and outright lie to say they only found out the price of signings today. Disgusting behaviour.

Does anyone have deets of what the fight was about? Was anyone nearby or did anyone hear anything? Attendees fighting is one thing, but con staff fighting is beyond unprofessional.

So games room was a bit cramped with Player1 games trading in it and maybe 10 TVs. Mostly the same crowd sitting at the consoles all day.

Was there yesterday. Been a few times and to a few cons (I'm by no means an expert) and and Arcadecon is always an embarrassment.

Trade Hall was nothing special, didn't go to any of the talks/ panels because in my past experience they're always poorly organised and amateurish.

Troy was nice but I didn't pay anything because I was just queuing (not really into signings) with somebody but he was very chatty and personable.

Staff were as moody, grouchy and put-out as ever. Not surprised a fight broke out. They always have an air of 'you're lucky to even be here' about them, like your intruding on some sort of get together. I've never had a good or at least civil interaction with any of them. Left when we saw the Gardai and Ambulance arrive. The manager of the hotel look rightly pissed when they came in.

Would really love to know where the money is going if it's a "not for profit" convention. I've seen better events put on by SUs on a shoestring budget with no entrance fee.

It could be a sign that shit hit the fan or it could be a liability issue. If someone broke shit or bled on the carpet it could be a problem for the hotel.

I was bottled while working in a bar last year and all they did was take statements and leave, I'm not saying this is worse but they probably have the suspect identified and in custody to say they are still gathering intel.

Yup they're definitely here with the same bootleg shit as usual.

I don't know what the story with the guards is. I walked past the screening room round 12 and the door was slightly open. There was a guard in there looking at a laptop and then a staffer went in and hastily shut the door. Bit weird theyre still around today, must be more to investigate so. All events cancelled in there too as I say.

Other than that it's fairly shit. Theres just nothing much going on. Everything is...lacking is the only way I can describe it. Maybe worth a 15 to 20euro for the weekend but defo not 40 quid.

Then when he was told what she was saying, he didn't block her, he continued stalking, he start telling people he would give his life for her and kept telling people he had panic attacks over her not talking to him at cons. Lol

Keith has skitsophrenia, he hasn't taken his medication in months so he's not doing well, someone was playing with his head saying he was suspected, with his condition he would actually believe he did something and couldn't remember. He probably told a few people he was suspected when that happened, There are no suspects, Arcade knows who it was. If Keith had did it they wouldn't have let him attend the sunday.

Personally I don't want to know who did it, I just want to know the facts and if something did happen, the proper people are alerted of it. If something did happen, I don't want it swept under the rug and to happen again at other cons. But nobody is talking or has even mentioned it outside of here. Hopefully it's for the sake of privacy and other cons have been alerted.

I told Keith as a joke I could be his long lost brother and he had a freak out trying to not let it Im to his head because he would end up making himself believe it. He also convinces himself he said something to offend people all the time when he didn't, his mind let him to believe that. Thats why he apolagises to people, every time he sees them. So yeah it wasn't Keith.

I've no idea sure, a rape accusation is just a big deal and I think It's stupid to go around naming random names when people don't know for certain what even happened.

No one knows for sure who did it. Some people have seen him, but no one has a name to put to the face. Even the con directors don't have a name. We aren't just flashing around pictures, for obvious reasons.
The description matches this Keith guy, but that's a motherfucking generic description to go by "Socially awkward, dark hair, kinda scruffy looking." That's 50% of a convention's male attendees right there.

Whoever it is, the Gardai are involved and there will be a restraint on him attending cons.

Nothing more can/will be done until everyone involved has had time to recover and the Gardai have finished what they need. That's pretty fucking reasonable, right?

There's absolutely no talk of not making a statement, just delaying until everything is sorted.

Any public statement wouldn't have a name in it anyway. But it needs to be acknowledged that something happened. I think it's hella hypocritical of the Arcade's fairly SJW stance to silence this, regardless of it being handled.

Police will have an official restraint on him attending cons anyway, whoever it is.

To be honest, it starded to sound like someone was suggesting keith just because they had a vendetta. like so many said, it's not his style. i could see him having a shouting match with someone but not lifting a finger.
