Me and other people and incarnate were talking about having a convention in a few years for VO!

He had the idea of us dressing up like ships from the game. I think this would be awesome.

Then people could duel like in a LARP with boffer weapons, which can be made by covering PVC pipe with foam insulation and then wrapping it in duct tape. You would make missle that you throw, and use bean bags as laser fire!

a larp? are you serious?

come on man. i may not have been the most popular guy in highschool, but even i kicked those guys asses.

maybe a get-together of players in certain cities. go for a coffee or something, or how about a VO lan party, that could fly.

plus, a full convention requires more than just one genre to be successful. Comi-con, PAX, and though you may not agree with me on this last one, Star-Trek.

(reason: TNG, DS9, Enterprise, etc.)

The Vendetta BBQ Party?

Yeah, we won't even need lighter fluid or matches. We'll just use Jex, Genka, and Ananzi's posts. At least they'd serve some purpose that way.

I'm so in. I'll come in a couple of cardboard boxes, and call myself The 'Moth.

Cardboard boxes because that's all you'll have money for after the flight halfway around the world? >_>

this thread has suffered the ultimate punishment: community project.

possibly, the best get-together we can have is actually on-line.

If some guy shows up, throws a bunch of popcorn at everyone and then sits down for a beer...

It wasn't me.

i help run an anime convention that happens on south padre island in texas. i was considering having an MMO panel.. later today i have a meeting with the rest of our staffers and i plan on pitching it. we DO have a cyber punk larp session scheduled for the first day.

any wya, if you want more info on the con google shimakon.

---

got back from the meeting at around 8pm, the idea of covering online games was shot down. sci-fi and fantasy tie in so well to anime (and are so prevelant in MMOs); we're hosting table top and larp games, maybe i just phrased it wrong.. i'll approach a few specific people about this before trying to sell it to the group again.
