Nobody ever said it was a perfect solution, but nobody wants Potsy here and she never contributes anything useful to these threads. She's outright said she hates this board/website, the people who populate these generals on top of saying she doesn't even attend any conventions or events in the scene anymore. Her tripcode serves no other purpose than to feed her pathological need for attention and to bait people into responding to her.

If less people see her posts, less people will respond, making for an overall better thread. If you want to talk to her, ask her for an email address and keep it away from here.

Using polls like that as "evidence" to back up your argument just makes everything look all the more immature. Let her post normally like anyone else and leave her alone. It's pretty obvious that childish bickering and sweeping problems away like this is already a big problem with this community, you're just making it worse. And stop trying to diagnose other people over the internet. You're just giving people reasons to attack her in the first place and making her feel victimised. If she isn't going to go away, then you're only pouring fuel on the fire.

Dublin lolitas - What is it like being a lolita in Dublin? Do you feel you stand out? Does J fashion stand out? I'm thinking about moving there but one thing I like most about living in London is that I feel that I don't stand out very much.

I'm not a lolita but I'd imagine anything that isn't a tracksuit or Ugg Boots would stand out here. London seems like one of those isolationist cities where you could be surrounded by a million other people at any given time and still feel lonely as fuck because nobody will stop to give you the time of day, whereas in Ireland it's not really uncommon for a complete stranger to sit next to you at a bus stop, go on about how the weather's been fierce lovely the past week and not be looked at like a complete weirdo.

>>8463101
A PS4 has better hardware but no good games. PS2 has older tech but it's still got the game library to back it up. I'd make a similar analogy with Dublin and London. We're nowhere near as big and fancy, but dammit, we've got character.

You will stand out in lolita but most people wont bother you. Worst is you might get a few comments but usually they're pleasant. Also it depends on the type of lolita. Full sweet lolita is going to stand out much more compared to plainer prints with muted colours.

I should point out there are a number of lolita's here in Ireland. You can probably meet up with them if someone wants to post a link to their group page?

Not from Dublin but I wear lolita around the south and the midlands. Generally very pleasant. 3 middle aged ladies stopped me today to tell me they thought I looked stunning/ask how long it took me to get ready/where was I going etc. I was in Dublin and wearing lolita and I got laughed at and people trying to take photos. I can't speak for dublin since I don't live there, but I've had much more pleasant experiences outside of dublin.I'm sure Dublins not all that bad but I wear normal fag clothes in Dublin and wear my frills everywhere else. If you're in a county next to Dublin as opposed to in the city centre I think you'll get a better response but that's just from my own experience.

We need some new material, the Amy/Potsy jokes are so old, especially considering they haven't done anything new in yonks.

So, anyone have any thoughts on Arcade Con aside from the whole assault thing? How did it fare as a con itself? Worth the 40 quid? What did it do good or bad?

Well call me crazy but walking around in public with a loaded bow was illegal last time I checked as it could potentially be classed as a firearm. The laws are lax on them but it's recommended that you only carry them de-stringed in public and ideally in a case or the gardai can and will stop you. Using them in a club or on your own property is fine as low as safety guidelines are being observed.

See there's the law and there's the law that gets enforced. Like you said anything that can fire a projectile falls under the EU firearm safety act, which means you cannot walk around with it in an operational state.
In practice however, the guards and the general public will just assume you have a good reason for having it unless you look like a scumbag.

You're an idiot. Even if the guards didn't get called which they could, it's dangerous to walk around with a loaded bow.

>> No.8467078

>>8467032

If you think about it, someone who actually owns a bow is a lot more likely to know how to use it than for example the average american with a gun. Potentially that makes them more dangerous than someone with a gun, even though it's clunkier and less efficient.

It seems pretty crazy to allow someone to walk around with a deadly weapon like that.

Stuff like whips, staves etc. there's obviously less call for, sure they can hurt but they're designed to be non-lethal. There's still a lot of abusive potential though.

Was at a convention where someone brought a live rifle.

Unloaded of course.

Everyone assumed it to be an airsoft.

They usually have it in smiths toys too and I saw it in aldi about 3 months ago.

Try sports shops too, a lot of people use it for home gyms. Most places dont call it eva foam though, you want to look for "interlocking foam tiles"

General weapons policy at most cons is that you shouldn't bring real weapons. Also weapons that look too realistic or potentially dangerous will be confiscated while at the convention.

Eirtakon's policy is quite detailed while other cons might be more straight forward like above.

>>8467085
They don't allow realistic weapons not only because someone could abuse it say like threaten someone for money or rape. But also someone could call the guards and have the con shut down.

Thirdly there is no responsible person that would bring a weapon to a crowded con and walk around with it loaded or unsheathed. Accidents can easily happen.

Thanks for this, it helps. Would the floor tiles not be too thick through? Halfords had some but they were about 150mm, from what I heard I'd be looking for around 7mm. I'll look around some more tomorrow anyway. There's a Ken Blacks in the same industrial park as the Woodies and Halfords that I checked today, there's plenty of sports shops in town. Thanks.

you can get 7mm floor tiles, they are just harder to find, If you need something even thinner go for camping mats.

You know I just remembered DealZ has eva foam Camping mats for €2 right now, its far too thin to make your entire suit out of but its a great deal if you need craft foam for accents or raised panels
