Next thing for me will be Okita Souji from Fate/Koha-Ace and I'll be driving down to south Florida for the Morikami's Hatsume Fair for some nice pictures. After that is Megacon and the usual summer cons. Too lazy to do anything else in between and I don't have my newer cosplays ready anyway. No reason to rush.

Because FantasyNinja desperately wants this convention to work out since its the only one that will hire her as a guest lately. she's funding the cosplay competitions.

Meanwhile the rest of us know the man who runs it is a convicted pedophile, the former owner of Metrocon. The con's dying. They just don't realize it yet.

Everyone knows the chick who claimed rape was paid up to say that anon. Once people found out she ran to California. Omni probably has a chance to grow if they use the same tactics of original metro, because ever since he sold the con off, Metro has gone to shit, when it used to be a great con. Only reason Metro has the numbers in attendance, which continues to dwindle is because its a hang out con for most people in Florida in hopes one day it gets better.

I'm so mad I didnt get a video of my Metrocon performance!

2014 was the best year imo, though that was largely due to me being a huge Tenchi nerd and getting to meet some of the VAs.

The 2015 show @ the Bonaventure location was great too, despite the last minute changes. I wish other cons would consider it for a location. Has an awesome pool and water fall, huge meeting spaces and panel rooms and the hotel rooms were very nice.

Sucks if the show did kick the bucket. Was never huge but always had a good time and the staff always seemed to care about doing a decent show. It was also always my goto con for debuting and testing out new costumes.

lol, herohype con is a joke. First year it was very small, akin to a library or university con. Year after that VERY few people showed up - we're talking only double-digits. There was some drama surrounding a mediocre cosplayer who went on numerous facebook/youtube rants about the FL cosplay community leading up to the event that might have increased attendance from like 30-40.

I have absolutely no idea why this con continues to exist.

If meeting people is one of your goals tho, the small cons would still be fun for you. The only thing good about all the tiny cons is spending trash time with friends.

Just repeating what others said, Metro, Mega, Holmat, and the brodercons.

The give you the best bang for your buck (well maybe not Mega, kek) and you usually have a good time.

If you want to make friends meetups are actually really fun here, and you won't be considered weird if you ask to hang out during a con, that happens a lot.

>Pros
Good guests, easy access to guests (usually very little lines or short wait times or they're just completely open to talking with no obnoxious handler pushing you away), large space so you aren't fucking cramped, varied amount of panels, price is pretty decent for a 4 day con, for Supercon the MBCC is a god-tier location

>cons
fucking Broder and his constant drama (though admittedly the stuff with guests not being paid/staff treatment is largely old news unless you're looking directly at people he regularly interacts with because he usually burns through 'friends' very quickly), MIACC sucks, dealing with anything con wise (paneling, cosplaying, etc.) means you have to deal with his people so that's never fun.

Honestly Brodercons are great cons. It's just the person running it which ruins it for people. I'm in the boat where "I don't interact with him so I don't care" and have a good time, but some people can't really get past the fact that their giving their money to Broder and get pissed off.

Heh, putting it simply it's just a string of fights linked together with a simple plot loosely related to the theme of the year for the con.

So we find out who we're fighting and then come up with choreo after researching fighting styles and think up what cool shit or signature moves we want to do.

Work on that choreo for 3/4 months, work on lines (if you have any), have the cosplay done, put on the show, and do your best to not die.

I want to do it because I'm just in love with stage combat.

Never gonna happen, as Metro's owners aren't interested in improving anything for their attendees, only in producing their precious shows that they think draw everyone and getting the same guests they always do and not anyone new (for the most part), and raking in the bucks they do due to their size and past rep.

It's now getting around that a former owner of Omni Expo embezzled a significant amount of money after last year. That, and the fact that, in two of its three years of existence, another con was scheduled for the same weekend AND city well after Omni announced their dates, seem to indicate that the con is being targeted by someone. I for one would rather give my money to a smaller con that could use the support against those that would like to see it die.

Both cons are going to end up failing because of poor advertisement and timing. So pretty much like most Florida conventions, they're going to die this year or within the next two years unless they want to bury themselves in debt because of their own pride.

Hero hype was such a hilarious drama-filled shitshow for a con that only got 50-60 guests. There were like three threads about it between grifter and yoh asakura, and they kept posting about it on facebook and creating more drama.

Grifter is no longer associated with herohype though, so it will be bad and boring instead of bad and mildly entertaining. I remember him coming onto 4chan to "quit" cosplay last year.

It's less of the fact that it's not worth it, because you're still going to the con and can do con things on break.
The main problem is the staff treating you like shit. In those two times I volunteered for them they almost didn't even give me my two day pass.

Just wanted to put this out there for any North Floridians, there's a free anime convention at FSU and a geek con, Altcon in Tallahassee. Both same weekend: March 18th-20th. Altcon is pretty lame, but it is only the third year. Freecon is on its 12th year. Unfortunately, you never know what you'll get since it's run by students and it's a whole new batch this year.

I wasn't sure if I could share links, so Google: Altcon Tallahassee and JACT FreeCon

Delicious drama. Yoh Asakura lost the costume contest, posted multiple videos about how unfair it was, got banned from the Omni AA for being a lunatic, had all these crazy conspiracy theories,. He was on 4chan, instagram and a bunch of sites complaining to anyone who would listen. Then he got called out on lying about everything, from who rigged the contest to entering a costume he didn't even make. He made a bunch of apology videos and it was beautiful.

Omni did have the problem of the hotel was wayyyyy to big for the event so it looked empty as fuck but the staff wasn't bad. Parking is the shitty part this year but I may do a day to see some of the events but Im parking at that hotel next door with the free parking :{P

Big cons usually don't do large cash prizes. They don't need to. People compete for a bit of cash and bragging rights. Supercon is the one exception, they give out the most cash by far.

Holmat offers a trip to China, CONjure offer 1k, and Omni offers a trip to the Netherlands. AFO is giving 1k this year, but every year is different for them (they go from no cash to 300 to sometimes 1k).

Way too lazy to go through shit right now, but I'm sure it's still floating around.

Basically there was some tiny/new con going on in North Miami/Ft Lauderdale being done by one of Broder's friends, and a Broward Palm Beach (the North Miami New Times paper) journalist covered it. She was an admittedly huge bitch in it and took photos of cosplayers, posted photos and made fun of them (one was underage and she called her a slut or something) and acted like it was a waste of time and the SoFlo con scene flipped out. She was doxxed, attacked, told to quit, etc. etc. Numerous emails to New Times ended in an official press release where the owner basically said that they'd edit the article but they wouldn't take it down because he believed in the freedom of his journalists to write what they wanted and she basically thrived in the attention and didn't give a fuck. This resulted in Broder (in one of the few times where I admit he did a bro-tier thing) cancelling all his partnerships with New Times (which was big at the time, they gave him cover issues and major exposure) and said that they wouldn't get press/free passes to his shows. This was around summer 2013/2014 if I remember right.

Minor googling shows me that Allie Contie (she was the journalist) has left Miami and works for VICE now, so I guess Broder thought enough time has passed that he can invite New Times around again.

Ya Shawn Tuff y is the one curentlt causing the whirlwind. I get the moral high ground thing but why wait to just practically a day before the con to warn instead if earlier or do it also for all the other cons he consults with? People are saying it's Croom because the way it was posted us the same way Croom use to and it's too much of a coincidence that Croom assisting Conjure is the same wkend as Omni again like fae was two years ago.

Anonymous Thu Mar 3 12:35:54 2016 No.8893830

So in short Tuffy says don't support Metro because they profit share with Harms even though the documentation which is public record and from Alex himself says it was a set amount buyout but Tuffy refuses to change that porruin even after the clarification. Same saying Harms is profit sharing with Omni even though he gets paid a set amount just like his previous consults with Shado, Mythic, Matsuri, Khaotic, and Evilcon.

Listen Ive heard this story for the last 7 years from when news first hit in 09 of his arrest of what had occurred 3 years previous to that. Do I agree that a man twice the girls age slept with the 16 year old, no but do I think after 10 years he's doing it again or hasn't change, no. Guys off his probabation, served his time, and the one time I met him he wouldn't even shake my hand and apologized he wouldn't because he wouldn't initiate contact with a female. I watched him sit in a corner barely talk to anyone save answer a few questions and when someone asked us if we would watch their kid for a second for them to use the bathroom that guy was nope hell no and got the fuck out of that room. It's good to be cautious and warn others but never giving someone a chance to change and witch hunting a whole event over it and not all of the ones he did is hypocritical

Off the record most of their staff will admit to his involvement, on the record though it's really concerning that they haven't made a statement right? I'm being told by friends on the volunteer staff that they are being instructed to not make written statements about his involvement, even to defend him, but if someone asks at the con to say he's a "consultant." Sam is supposedly preparing a big statement to release on monday that will vilify Tom Croom for this attack even though he didn't have shit to do with it.

So if this guy is so terrible and all this shit going down why didn't anyone just you know call the police? Like people are serious and dangerous sex offenders get restrictions on where they can be and police can reach out to his parole officer (if he has one) the see if he's violating the law and be arrested. It's easy to be a white knight and wave flags of righteous justice online but not take real action aND call the ducking cops if he's this bad

If your going to Megacon for Anime related programming your wasting your time. Mega has always treated anime as a very very small part of its programming block. They've pretty much just left it up to Anime Sushi to put it together every time. From the contest to the panels. I wouldn't expect new management to change anything on this front as things will go even further mainstream.

If you want specifically anime related programming wait for AFO or FAE.

Only thing Mega has going for it imo is the huge dealers room, which is kinda irrelevant in the age of online shopping.

If police didn't go tyically it's because he either doesn't have active probation or restrictions or they didn't find probable cause since the original incident was 10 years ago with an indictment 7 years ago so they may feel he's not a threat to be a repeat offender. Or well the police in Orlando can be shitty. Reach out to the court where the order was established and see if anything can be done, if they say no then legally he's not doing anything wrong even though morally is a grey area

Omni needs to be upfront about his involvement so that congoers can make an informed decision about whether or not they want to attend. If Roy Harms moved he would have to go down the street knocking on doors telling all his new neighbors that he's a convicted sex criminal, but put him in a convention hotel full of teenagers and preteens and suddenly he doesn't have to announce his conviction to the world?

Well he was threatening to "get me" and cut the brake lines on my car after I had also gone to them about him stalking me. I wanted a restraining order but they "couldn't serve him" because "he wasn't home" when they went. In the end it was only thanks to my employer that he ever got caught because he was waiting for me outside one day so they called the police for me. They caught him for driving without a licence or insurance (plus not his car) and only served him because they already had him in jail. Like thanks, justice system.

Omni Expo was probably the worst Florida con in the history of Florida cons. Their biggest event (the costume contest) had the main events room a quarter of the way full.

Ah, Glad I refreshed before leaving thread.

So I've volunteered for that con several times, and its actually my 'home' con, or was. Not sure on the reasoning, but his past behavior leads me to suggest it's an ego thing. I've met him, and alot of his family, and the convention is family run, and always has been. I've encountered some of his relatives, and most of them are nicer than the head himself.

Alot of the negative events and interactions over the years have not been much of anything but lack of organization and leadership on his behalf, and an unwillingness to learn from their own mistakes.

They have effectively pissed off most of their home base community (west palm beach) and for reference, look how many hotels they have gone through and locations they have changed, and also observe how much new staff continually comes around.

I am not to be the hater, I love that con, I've had wonderful memories and met wonderful people, but I'm glad I left the SoFLo scene overall, and a sizable chunk of that are experiences with specifically their upper management, lack of professionalism, and inability to lead.

Point Blank: Jason isn't the kind of guy to let something of his go on without him and do well, despite it being a few years too late.

It was the best skit bit that's not saying much. The league skit was kinda boring outside of the costumes. The cat girl skit was a giant butt joke. The final fantasy skit was sloppy. This one was kinda trite add it was just lip syncing and some dancing, but it was the best put together.

They got the biggest crowd reaction because people felt bad for them. Giant fat dude in a thin poorly made robe who didn't even try to complete the hat, sleeves or any distinguishing part of the costume. Hot girl who can dance but wore purchased a walmart and a few accessories that vaguely resembled Esmerelda. The costume work was zero. Everyone thought hey, they have no chance but good for them for trying their hardest anyhow.

There were maybe 50 people in the audience, and ten of them were their family/friends who were screaming hysterically so yeah, they got the best reaction.

When they won, everyone clapped then walked outside and went WHAT THE FUCK. The Netherlands is gonna think we're a joke, and their costumes were so bad there is no way it makes up for the skit.

The entire audience figured the LoL group had it in the bag. All cosplay skits are stupid, but they had beautiful costumes and wouldn't be an embarrassment at least.

Just like CICAF, the winner was bad. It's like Indra wants to humiliate the US on an international stage. Why does she bother pretending the judging is scored when we know she always picks the same terrible groups?

I was also there and we were all shocked by the choice. The telling factor was that after the competition, no one was looking to get photos of the winning team, but everyone was crowded around the LoL girls taking photos and wanting to see the costumes up close. I get it that the skit was supposed to be the major points here , but those girls would have to have gotten zero points for their skit.

First Cicaf held by Yaya had even less entries at Megacon with a grand total of three. Both the event and oganizer having by far a larger name yet didn't get much competitors.

No contest means he still thought he did nothing wrong but admitted that he in fact did what they accused him of doing. Prosecutor thought it wasn't that severe of a crime given he was a first time offender so instead of taking it to trial both parties agreed on a deal.

Nolo contendere or "no contest" is a plea where the defendant neither admits nor disputes a charge, serving as an alternative to a pleading of guilty or not guilty. If he plead not guilty it would have meant a long, drawn out fight and and there wasn't sufficient evidence to prove his guilt. His sentence was to be put on the sex offenders (not predators) list as a precaution. Roy is allowed to go anywhere and be around people of all ages, including children.

The arrest happened 3yrs after the supposed crime after the girl moved to California. She called it in then never showed up for any court appearances including her deposition. He was arrested and convicted on nothing more than her accusation.

If any of the SJWs like Shawn Tuffy, Henry Hall or Tom Croom had any sort of real evidence or proof of Roy's continued wrong doing how come it hasn't been presented to the authorities? Why was it posted to Facebook and Twitter instead of the police? Because they've got nothing. All they've done is renew Roy's internet celebrity status once again and probably boosted Omni's attendance by drawing attention to the event. *golf clap*

I find it kind of weird that Janet had posted in Shawns thread that she was friends with the girl and she knew information that didn't match up with what was being posted and she couldn't fully agree with people's posts about about Jessica. Seems to me like more people know things they're willing to keep shush and just go along. This man only got probabtion, he served no jail time, and has no restrictions. Like if you know more why not have reported it within the limitations to have him put away if he's so terrible.

Roy Harms is an internet legend of such magnitude that he has five whole stalkers who can't stop talking about what he's doing years everyone else stopped caring.

For those demanding that his employers "come forward" or "come clean" with Roy's involvement in their business you should know they're under no legal obligation to say jack shit just to feed a few trolls. Please hold your breath waiting.

And if you're so worked up about his sex offender status you might want to never leave the house again as you're surrounded by them. Here's a nice list of companies that hire sex offenders and felons courtesy of a job placement assistance service for those individuals:

I went to college with Myra. She wears her maid cafe outfits to school and tries to recruit people, claiming she is getting ready to open up a maid cafe in Orlando. She stalks and obsesses over guys and constantly accuses men of false rape. Seriously, this chick is psycho and begs people for money saying she is too poor to eat because her psych meds cost too much, but she's fat and walks around eating candy 24/7.

>>	Anonymous Sat Mar 12 15:57:19 2016 No.8907531 >>8907530 Most people in the central fl community feel awkward outing an acquaintance as a would-be rapist. Everyone knows, no one talks about it publicly. Janet's boyfriend only brought it up after that guy ramped up the level of bullshit.
