Last year's convention!

Ryodragon1 · Dragoness

I have to admit that I loved the way last year went off. My only complaints would be that the duct-tape to show who is a volunteer was kinda shabby.... (and it didnt come off my costume very well ~.~) Other than that, I thought last year was awesome ^^

Yo_Landa · Juvinile

*laugh* I completely agree with that. Duct tape=bad. The 'name tags' were actually just stickers which didn't...stick, apparently XD

Me? I didn't like the signs XD "ANIME VIEWING ----->" isn't exactly eye catching. I loved the artist though! *huggles them all*

Keenan · Juvinile

Everything was just really low budget...this year will be better. *glare* I know it will *shakes a

threatening fist* At least this time we have more notice.

Justin · Yearling

what really bugged me was when people ran off from where they were spossed to be, and forcing a person on there break to take there place!

Ryodragon1 · Dragoness

I don't know if this happened in any of the other places last year. But in the one anime I went to see (I managed to get a friend to watch the DJing while I watched Ragnarok the Animation (I was a character from there)). But there seemed to be alot of problems getting it started. Perhaps we can plan for this potential problem? Is there anything we can do about it?

Yo_Landa · Juvinile

I think we were planning on getting a tutorial or something for all the people running anime rooms. I found a lot of technical problems, too. *shrug* Guess we'll just have to keep people informed!

Justin: Well, yeah...that really annoyed me *coughkeenancough* But it's worse when people just run off without telling anyone. Especially if they're doing something uber important like running ticket sales. It's not only annoying, but really stressful because others have to take their place when they could be watching anime or taking a break for lunch. I'd like to enforce the rules of 'NO DITCHING STATIONS' this year.

Keenan · Juvinile

Yolanda: Hey! I had a legitimate substitute for my station when I went BREIFLY to do the one thing I wanted to do there all day. Too much to ask? I think not. I mean, we don’t really get any compensation out of sacrificing our whole day for the anime-Bellerose con… so why couldn’t I make it enjoyable for myself? Though, this year will be different as long as we have more choice in the stations that we’re assigned. Last year I didn’t even get half of the ones I signed up for, and more of the ones I disliked.

K_chan · Hatching

I wanted to see the cosplay- AND enter in it. But I was stuck in a station.

Maybe we could cancel all the stations and have one big awesome show for Cosplay, make that the main focus for two hours.

Ryodragon1 · Dragoness

K-chan you have a point. However there are also some people who don't want to go see the cosplay competition (I was one of them last-animethon). If you are serious about that suggestion, post a poll about it. If you want I can do that as well.(Make it seem more 'official')

I think that a 2 hour cosplay may get a bit boreing for those who do not know or like cosplay. If anything, I belive we should have a contest or show or whatever, every few hours but limit the contestants, and have a fanally at the end of the day. Best of the Best. Just my thoughs.

Also, I will be doing the scheduling and will be floor manager for this year. I'm giving everyone the freedom to chose their time when they are avalible, so I don't expect anyone to duck out of their givin job.

Oh, and last year I had an issue with the computers not projecting the movie. Anyone else have that problem?

Neosamuri · Hatchling

Well first on all the duck tape was a last effort since we forgot about tags.(vicky and I worked dam hard on this and somethings we forgot about), Secondly, we ask the vollonteers if the shifts we gave them where alright and they agreed. SO its your fault for not saying that you wanted to see the cosplay. But other than that if you had a legit substitute for your station then it doesn't count as ditching. But other than that it was a dam good festival.

Yep. A couple people had the problem. It was pretty easy to fix, but a lot of people didn't know how. EVERYONE (and I mean EVERYONE) operating the viewing rooms should be told how to fix the problems that are likely to occur. Sound fair? ^^

Neosamuri · Hatchling

Ohh yah sry it was me fault that i did not teach you guys about the projectors. I was in charge of that tech stuff.

But this year ill try to make it a bit more bullet proof.( in other words Yolanda-proof)

Just kidding yolanda

Asian Invasion · Admin

I suggest we have a meeting to go over the the technical sometime in sept. And I'm not just talking about the people working the rooms, but everyone just so they know how to and when to in case they need to fill in. Just a suggestion.

Good Idea Brayden. That means i get to make you all sit and listen to me lecture.

Asian Invasion · Admin

Maby Justin or some extremly technically proficiant person could help out?

Neosamuri · Hatchling

What im not technologically proficent?

Justin · Yearling

no. your not

Neosamuri · Hatchling

Thats debatable my friend. We shall see when the festival comes around.

Justin · Yearling

don't get mad if someone knows something more than you, cause there is always someone who will know more

Ryodragon1 · Dragoness

A reminder: This topic is to discuss last year's discussion and what can be done better this year. Perhaps another topic could be made to discern the computer wisdom of certain forum members?

Just an idea.
