As Kita is kill, what cons are you planning to attend over the next year, and what are you cosplaying as?
If anybody has a brit cgl discord pls share.
No orgyposting allowed.
Having just been Kita, I intend to go to October MCM (boo) as Koichi from JoJo. Will look to book Amecon when I can too. I hear it's basically Kita with less alcohol, so it sounds worse. I wouldn't have enjoyed the weekend be so much if I were sober.
>>9607975
Ame usually has slightly less people drinking, but the people who drink do just as much. Just find a good group to hang out with and it's indiscernible from Kita.
Though now they're alternating it'll just be the same crowd in both probably.
London gonna be suffering compared to kita but can't stop going to cons
Probably biggest thing will be a finished HALO related cosplay for that, might enter the masquerade
>>9607974
>orgyposting
What?
>>9603833
Previous bread for reference.
>>9607990
There was an alleged orgy at kita which people shitpost about frequently.
>>9607983
Cgl meet at Amecon hopefully
Planning MCM October probably. Assuming I have the money lol
Nothing will beat kita though. Haven't had con blues like this for a fair few years
>>9608035
Who were you anon? We may have met.
Saturday night step anons were really cool
Kita was great man, best I've felt in ages.
Sad it's all over now, missing a fair few people.
Kita was fantastic and honestly the best convention I've been to since Ayacon but might be just because I forced myself to be more sociable and go to the parties and dance like a motherfucker.
Got to see old friends, hang out with new ones, meet some of you autists but didn't really attend the meets due to hanging with normie-friends, shitpost about #ourgirl, see some actually pretty great panels.
I've always avoided cosplay chess because it sounded autistic cringe as fuck, but turns out it I'm autistic and actually enjoyed the cringy skit-show a lot more than I expected to. The only thing that I can complain about the weekend is MADstravaganza and Dj-Digi running at the same time and I really wanted to go see both of them, and one night in the fusion bar my order got missed by the kitchen and I was stuck waiting an hour for my food and missing half a panel.
>>9608115
My only complaint is there was a Speed-o-Sound Sonic cosplayer and she had a really good costume and an ass so obscenely fine that I think I'm into guys now because I spent two hours straight unironically beating my meat to hentai smut of Sonic getting his boipussy smashed in.
Kita freaked me out. I always thought I was pretty discteat in the con scene but everyone knew who I was, even without my badge on. Guess it's bound to happen when you've been cosplaying for a while.
>>9607975
>Thinks Ame is like Kita
Ame is going to be fucking overrun by drunken weebs thinking PARTAY CON next year, isn't it?
God my body still hurts from Sunday night
>>9607974
Currently intend to go to:
Glasgow MCM in September
London MCM in October
Birmingham MCM in November
Hyper Japan in December
Telford MCM in February
Birmingham MCM in March
London MCM in May
Hyper and Ame in July
Busy con year.
>>9608310
All these trash cons
>>9608310
>giving MCM all your money
>>9608316
Makes me sad to think about it but it's not like there is much alternative. The UK needs to step its con game up.
Might drop some and sneak in some US cons but we'll see. Toko did sound nice so I might also do that.
No cons this year, but next year it'll be just Toko.
Might just take two weeks off work and go to Ame as well.
>>9608323
Toko sounds good but Ame sounds better and I'm not sure I'll survive two weekends in a row.
https://discordapp.com/invite/yKJtBRR
>>9607975
Same amount of alcohol, just fewer dumb fuckers killing themselves with it. Huge crossover, only Kita brings in fresh faced 18 year old and Ame/Aya were the 20+ year olds who know how to handle their fucking drink and not shit all over their bedrooms.
>>9608254
One can only hope.
>>9608333
Weak anon
>>9608377
I can camp in my naruto headband and get shitfaced any day I want anon
is it bad that I want to do a duffman cosplay after seeing the bara cafe
really want to nail the accuracy (not yellow dye skin tho, looks creepy AF in real life)
>>9608685
>Nail the accuracy
>Not yellow
>>9608685
£10,000 in gear for a cosplay...
Is anyone attending lscc
I finally understand post con blues
having to force myself to push forward and not mope around
BRB starting my own con in my garden to fight the con blues.
>>9608902
alright kenny
For now, intending to go to October MCM and AmeCon. Keeping an eye on HibanaCon, basically 50/50 right now. Not sure which yet on the cosplay. Tempted to do a furendzu.
>>9607453
Looks like it will be October MCM London. And yes, would be lovely to talk again.
>when you see photos of yourself in cosplay and want to die
why didnt I costest this
>>9609084
>frenzu cosplay meet might be happening
What's the closest con in the UK to this date right now?
>>9609956
Technically? Kitacon.
>>9609084
Still uncertain about Hibanacon. Website is pretty garbage, so no idea what the full events schedule is supposed to be.
>>9610168
They not being like other cons by being like other cons. Also it's >Milton Keynes
>>9610168
Same here, I like the idea of sitting in a a hotel in costume playing boardgames for three days, but not in Milton Keynes and the dude on stage at Kita talking about it skeeved me out a bit.
>>9610168
I'm planning to go to Hibanacon, a small hotel con sounds comfy, kinda like Minami but not a cliquefest.
>>9610176
I talked to the guys at Toko and I get the impression their 'not like other cons' thing is about going back to the old type of cons- anime focused, gaming focused, not so much the LET'S GETSMASHED WITH A TANGIENTIALLY NERDY TANG that a lot of other cons have become. I didn't see the guy on stage at Kita, I don't think he was at Toko, but the chairman was and he was super nice. I'm biased as hell though because I really want another con within 45 minutes drive
Anyone catch the insomnia masquerade?
Bit of a latefag, but the /cgl/ meet was fun. Didn't stay for long, but you guys are super.
>tfw accepting shots and spaghetti from strangers on the internet
Sorry for posting this literally months after the con in question, I haven't had internet for months (long story) but why does she think this look is a good idea? Anyone here know her? I want to understand.
>>9610936
she wants to become a human pin cushion anon, so she can help out everyone with their cosplay repairs
>>9610936
Sweet Hellraiser cosplay.
>>9610936
WIP cosplay
>>9610936
What's with the spots? Skin condition or is that actually makeup?
Can anyone confirm that Emizone likes to be cucked by her boyfriend Kinreal and that he's fair game? He tried it on with me at Kita and I would've gone for it if I knew he was fair game.
>>9611196
Piercings.
>tfw you see a decent enough 2B from behind and you get excited but then she turns around and you have to act like you weren't just about to ask her for a photo
>>9611213
WTF he's fucking hot, why did you not jump to suck that D
>>9611213
Why not ask her yourself?
>>9611390
Cos asking a girl you barely know if she a cuck is gonna go great.
>>9611213
I was on Tinder the whole weekend and found him a few times, was a bit confused too if they had broken up or naw.
>>9611412
Well either they're open or they're not. Either you're honest or you're not. Weakling.
>>9611423
Last I heard was that they're together but he's allowed to go out and bone whoever he wants as long as they're not part of the con scene. She's basically Asexual.
He did get with Felixise though just before May Expo which is why she broke up with her ex as he found out.
>>9611525
Sounds functional.
I'm considering Ame next year as never been Kita/Ame but I'm in my 30s so a little worried about the age
>>9611536
You'll be fine, plenty of alright people that age who have been going to cons for 10 years and use it as their one bender weekend.
Just find and stick to them and don't be a fucking creeper hitting on 18 year olds.
>>9611539
Don't think my mrs would be too happy if I did that.
I do know people who go to these cons but they're in mid 20s and my friends my age don't go to this con and I can't convince them.
am i the only one who only goes to MCM cons because cosplay friends and cosplay groups?
like I'm really thinking about cutting back from MCM cons this year and going to Hyper Japan, Kupocon, Cosxpo and Amecon (though i heard from someone that a small kitacon is happening next year). Im also thinking about going to a US con too.
>>9611536
I'll be 33 next Ame anon. Come hang with me, we can bitch about the younger weebs and how modern animal is shit.
>>9611571
Anime, fuck this, the senior dementia is already hitting.
>>9611573
It's alright fellow oldbro, modern animals are shit as well. I'll bitch about them too with ya.
>>9610521
I gave you all spaghetti and absinthe. You owe me all dick pics.
>>9611608
I'll be 39 by the next ame. You'll be fine.
The jump from my age to the next age in fandom is the dr who/train spotting/pedo fandom where everyone is an overweight 40something virgin who collects Star Trek badges. Leather man on your belt and a leather hat optional.
>>9611665
same here, im saving money by not going there for even a day. Every time i went to MCM i just felt i was wasting my money there, i should've used it for Kitacon instead but i was scared to go there without having a group of good friends to hang out and stay with. Though i do know a lot of people who went to Kitacon
>>9611548
Definitely, I'm not buying a ticket for october, I'm just gonna be outside with other people who are doing the same. it's ez as fuck to sneak into the green if your friends are in though.
>>9611685
really? i thought they made it more difficult to get into the grass area though that does make sense since i was able to climb over the fence quite a few times at MCM May this year
>>9611687
here's hoping MCM staff aren't watching this cause I don't want them to add extra security measures, but for real if there aren't any guards looking you can just hop the fence real easy.
>>9611688
Why wouldn't they be reading it. The shit you lot give away is usefull.
>>9611696
though lots of people have already talked about doing this for years now so it isn't much new news
>>9611705
No, admittedly not. A few years ago they started policing people in the non con areas outside as they realised people would turn up to not actually attend the event but to chill on the steps outside. They are a for profit business.
>>9611599
Sorry anon, I was one of the few ladies there, reverse trap is the best I can do.
>>9612330
Froppy?
>>9612330
A blurry picture of a deflated balloon or a carrot will do. It was dark anyway
no idea if this is the right place to ask this, but is anyone interested in cosplaying characters from Princess Principal?
I know that I sound like a creep, but I just would like to see some cosplays of that series
>>9612534
no, but want to find people to do this with me
>>9612534
Weird, I was actually pondering doing a PriPri one yesterday. Was thinking Dorothy would be the best fit to my figure, although she's the most 'generic' or missable looking of the cast.
>>9607974
Going to MCM Glasgow on the Saturday and same with London in October, Will be Okuu from Touhou (with my gf as Rin) should I hope for more 2hus attending? ;_;
>>9611548
>small kitacon
pls don't be like amechib

>>9612786
>amechib

>>9612763
Okuu & Rin couple cosp?!
I think I love you.
>>9612788
sorry, amechibi. it was appalling, though that was mostly down to the venue
>>9612846
>AmeCon presents AmeChibi, hosted at the Britannia Hotel Nottingham dur...
>Britannia Hotel
Oh gods.
>>9612857
Amechibi was dire, I hope none of them do Chibi style events again....Not a fan.
>>9612882
Anyone been to a Chibi Sunny? They're pretty bad, which is worrying because they're the same as the full con but just smaller.
Those bad feels when you have a document that shows how bad some things at Alcon are going but you can't share it because you're the only person other than Towers that has it and the prospect of more hilarity is worth more than 15 seconds of internet lols.
>>9612882
Aside from a smaller attendance and smaller venue, what were the differences?
>>9612786
i mean "Kitacon Karnival" as my friend says it, they keep saying it will happen next year but i heard from lots of my other friends that Kitacon isnt happening next year.
>>9612889
>you have a document that shows how bad some things at Alcon are going but you can't share it because you're the only person other than Towers that has it and the prospect of more hilarity is worth mo
>you can't share it
have you tried the police or the venue
>>9612889
Just say you got hacked anon, or your laptop/memory stick stolen.
>>9611525
As part of that friend group, you just described his brothers relationship somehow.
Kinreal and Emizone are in a normal relationship, no cucking.
Felixise was dumped by her bf for other reasons, what your referring to happened years ago.
>>9613096
Plough and popcornkuma...?
What the fuck have you been on?
>>9613118
Nothing anon, all you have to do is get the guy a bit drunk and he'll tell you all about his 'arrangement'
>>9613125
Is this Jake trying to fuck with that group after they shit on him super hard?
>>9613139
Jake X drama? Haven't heard about that guy in an age. Is he still in the con scene?
>>9613096
Trying to oust the two friendliest people in the uk scene?
Das cute.
>>9613147
The shitters never leave.
>>9613139
Imagine still being so obsessed with tripfag drama from
>four fucking years ago
Give it a rest Wez, you're literally the only person who still has a problem with Jake so it's pretty obvious when you're here trying to scapegoat him for all kinds of unrelated drama.
>>9612763
That sounds moe as fuck send pix
>>9612905
Because that's going swimmingly at the moment isn't it
>>9613184
kek.
Lot of people still have problems with Nax.
>>9613223
Wait what, you mean Jacob?
>>9613223
There's another Jake...?
>>9613232
Jake Causier 100% still posts here and has a history of dumb shit like this.
>Hey Anon, you're on /cgl/ again
>>9613237
He literally doesn't though? Poor guy has been scapegoated for years despite never doing fuck all to anybody, it's high school tier shit. He's one of the few genuinely nice people I've met through this shithole.
>>9613285
You are incorrect.
>>9613289
How so? Known him five years and never seen him act in a malicious way to anybody.
>>9613096
So Felix did bone Kinreal why both were on other relationships? Sounds about right for those two.
>>9613342
Well, this anonymous testimony changes everything! Thanks Jak- sorry, I mean anon.
>>9613365
No boning was involved, but that depends who you ask.
>>9613388
Ask Felix's ex and he'll say they boned. He's the one that broke it off and moved out so inclined to believe him.
>>9613365
I'm sensing a vendetta-chan.
I've heard old rumours and off opinions on Felixise.
But saying that sounds about right for Kinreal? The guys pretty quite and polite in the scene so you must know him personally obviously.
>>9613392
This is where opinions clash.
This all came out AFTER they broke up. They broke up for other reasons.
>>9613370
So what did he do then?
Gods, all this make the bit of drama I was exposed to at Kita seem like nothing.
>>9613523
Did someone take your seat at breakfast or something?
>>9613526
#DragonMaidGate
>>9613533
What's it like in victim protection?
guys please, we are ALL great anons
>make love, not war

Are chorogon did nothing wrong
So Monica Rial pull out of ALcon
>>9613614
Deets?
>>9613616
She's stuck in the hurricane. I think this time rather than being petty about Alcon he wish her luck as it must be scary for her and her family
On the subject of Alcon, why is Baker going there after saying he wasn't going?
All for the money, Baker. Going, not going, tell your fans to boycott, tell them to go, let's worship Baker either way, our god!

I still have a few I'd like to do, and am considering some for MCM though it's looking a little tight timewise - but I'll try, anon! :)
>>9614020
From what he was saying at Ame he's telling people he's being forced by his boss. I wonder if this is him telling people this to save face

Alright alright, how about £5 for...
[spoiler]Handholding.[/spoiler]
Also, on that note though, it was nice chatting to you Tohru, Ribbon-Chan was nice too and I'm sure the rest of you wierdos are alright. Shame I didn't join you guys at the spaghetti fest you guys looked like you were having a good time, maybe I'll catch you fags at Ame.
so, I'm working at Alcon
but I don't really want to be supporting Towers
but then again money spent at my stall pays me, not him
help
a few cons were last weekend....anything interesting happen at lscc?
>>9614183
Baker is a guy who used to work at AL with Towers but left after LAGC and told everyone the truth about him and how horrible he actually is (even though people have known this for years
>>9615149
you should stop working there if you dont want to support him, just by you being there is supporting him... i'm sure you can find another con that your stall can get money at
talking about AL reminded me of Oh Japan... the creator basically taking people's money and never paying everyone back....
>tfw never had a comic con group to enjoy the weekend with
>everyone in groups seem to have fun
>no idea how where or how to join a con group thats age 18-25 and chill but also fun

>>9615380
Use that new fangled facemagazine that all those dabbing kids use these days. Start with "Hi, I'm XXX, and I've gone 12 days without fapping to my waifu", everyone will reply with "Hi XXX" and clap. Eventually we'll all be free.
>>9615831
Lots of rum
Not too long until EGX - who's entering ECG?

Fucking dragons getting smashed and demanding headpats

Literally turn up when and where we say for bants
Is doing the masquerade worth it
>>9615915
Do you want to win?
It's a rush having that many people clapping and taking photos all at once if that is your thing. Haven't entered since about 2004 but it was fun. When I enjoyed it. You might be satisfied enough with the more personal "hi wow cool costume, I like that character blah blah blah can I take a photo" you get when you floor costume.
>>9615919
Winning would be nice but I am a ways away from that good yet
Looking at the kita masquerade I'm fairly sure I could be in the top 50% defo
heyyy sad american here just wanted to thank the brits for being generally nicer than americans are .. bye
>>9615924
Np senpai
>>9615924
Maga my friend
>>9613402
You must know them personally as don't remember Felixise mentioning anything online about a break-up
She looked pretty cosy with someone at the ball so figured it was her bf
Why are cosplayers love lives so important to you guys anyway?
>>9615852
Ross is the only person i know publicly posting about it
does no one remember Oh Japan?
>>9615952
Probably one of them turned anon down and they're salty af.
>>9615852
TheStarlightFairy is.
>>9615955
That senpai haigh was a mess...
>>9615966
Literally the one thing I think of when I see gossip like this. I'd rather be told about which cosplayers to avoid or which are the creepers to look out for instead of who's slept with who and who's broken up with who like it's high school. People break up it happens. Move on.
>>9615852
Nes Proxy
Mad Hamster
>>9615852
Amazonian Cosplay
>>9615972
yeah it was, it died out pretty quickly... and its like everyone forgot about it once Oh Japan closed down
>>9615922
You do know that the Kita masquerade is for funzies right? It's not like the LAGC or Eurocosplay competitions.
There's no judging or big winner reveals or anything.
>>9616009
You know you're talking crap right?
There's a competitive portion of the masquerade, with the winner awarded an engraved trophy and announced at the masquerade.
True it's not international and it's purely based on the costume (no preformance required) but it's still a competition.
>>9615983
This. Unless they're a cheat. then shame away because I'd rather avoid that shit
>>9615989
But she looks like a horse.
>>9616156
Just because she can eat an apple out of your hand only using her lips doesn't mean she's horse like.
>>9615952
FYI felixise and evocos are now a thing, don't know felix all that well but if it's true she's boned emi's bf behind her best friends back and kept it a secret for 2 years then I wouldn't trust her. The salt on here did this group tho why ?
Zombie and Felix broke up. It came out that Felix had kissed Kinreal and another friends partner during their relationship. afaik everyone in that group is now amicable and have forgiven eachother like adults. Both Felix and Zombie have now moved on. That's it, that's the "drama". Come on guys we're not in highschool anymore.
>>9616487wow two friends partners what a slag, fair play to the others for forging tho I couldn't do that if it was my partner and best friend
>>9616499
It was the same weekend too, at a convention she attended with her boyfriend, and managed to keep it a secret from him for going on two years until AFTER they broke up.
I get a strong feeling that this isn't the first or last time Kinreal will do this to Emi, takes a special kind of prick to try to bang your best friend's girlfriend. Plus he thinks he's hot shit because he crash diets for conventions and wears eyeliner.
>>9616531
His diets don't seem to do anything though, JS.

Are you MT? that message has ALtard level of illiteracy. This some kind of reverse psychology where you talk smack about your own event to "win at 4chan".
If you're just a tard or are typing while eating/fapping/shitting, then sorry.
On topic, I have no idea, I wouldn't go to ALcon even if MT's mum begged me while we cucked his dad. Strange how she makes me dress up like her son... hmmmm
>>9616546
Because who gives a fuck? Grow up.
>>9617203
Jesus, what part of your breakfast did ALcon shit in?
>>9617133
Alcon looks packed
>>9617375
Holy cow Obayed called it. It really is a sad sausagefest.
>>9617203
looks like Sindy's typing desu, she's always on these boards desperate for attention
but it looks like I gave her some, oops.
>>9617375
That picture is just so depressing.
>>this thread
All drama no pics of cosplay or con stuff
except this.
>>9617375
Fucks sake
>>9617553
i only come for the drama.
>>9617639
It'd be interesting if it wasn't years old garbage. Aren't they all nearly 30 by now?
>>9617648
Yeah theyre all late 20s acting like 14 year olds that group is NASTY AF
>>9617375
thats a fursuit pannel you retard, of-course its going to look empty, its a freaky fetish nobody is interested in bar autists.
im not defending alcon, but this is not making them look bad, it looks like a weak effort to shame them. try harder.
>>9618106
I mean, the fact that they have one is pretty shameful
Heard from a bunch of different sources that a lot of people walked out of the opening ceremony, which from prior experience, hasn't happened before in recent memory?
Plus it looks dead from the few pictures friends have posted on their Facebook accounts
>>9618637
people on twitter are saying the con is dead
Stay classy alcon
>>9619120
"We can't get caught doing something illegal again"
>>9619120
Lol wtf.
Local anon finds out how to get his con closed down in 1 easy step
>>9607974
Why is karen so adorable?
Man, it's so hard to find anything on how well ALcon is doing because all I can see on Facebook are people saying they didn't go. I was hoping someone would take one for the team.
I had no idea they were even on, normally my wall is flooded with people going. Good fucking riddance.
>>9619236
Twitter is full of people not having a good time or 1st time con goers who don't know any better.
>>9619189
Look, if you have a problem with Lauren, go take it up with her. Honestly, the fact that this group has been dealing with it's problems on 4chan for nearly a decade is just fucking sad.
But of course, anon must know the truth. Because an anon say it, it should be taken as truth, over and above how the actual people involved feel.
>>9619266
Not directly in their group but I did try and bring her up on it! She made a snide remark to a friend so I bought it up. She responded that she doesn't want to talk about rumours then blanked me the rest of Kita.
where are these posts
>>9619285
What did you say to her? That's a dumb ass response considering it's not rumours it's a thing that straight up happened.
>>9619309
Of which no one but those physically involved know the details of anon.
We're all clutching at half stories here, no one really knows what went down.
>>9619309
>> it's not rumours it's a thing that straight up happened.
What is?
>>9619259
Seems a lot of the issues are from the staff being rude to attendees. Not like that's any different from previous years though.
Will Alcon ever die?
Can we see some screecaps of people posting about ALcon?
>>9619506
yes
>Brit discord is literally /Pol/ at the moment

Why this

who can make the best attack on alcon anime opening parody?
>>9619572
I think whoever is admin should make another chat just for cosplay stuff and kept the shit posts in the one they have going.
Do I go for it or is three cosplays in 6 months overboard?
It fell apart this year! I have never seen a con be so terrible!? I use to enjoy alcon, but now...... it is dead
>>9618637
Yeah, i can confirm. The opening was a cringefest! Empty seats and people leaving.
And what happened ? Because Alex was not on AL staff to fix there problems and make it somewhat more better.
Just goes to show how much work he did. I miss seeing him on stage
>>9620264
wasnt he still at alcon? went running back with his tail between his legs
He was there as a dealer working for some other guy.and to be fair to him he made the con more fun by just being there. Respect
>>9620272
yea respect the compulsive liar
#alcon2017
>>9617694
so which people make up this group? Need to know so I can avoid in future
>>9620282
Go back a few years and a bunch of strangers said this was the best group in the com, now a bunch of strangers saying the opposite.
Make up your mind for yourself when you meet people anon.
>>9620287
They were a great group, especially when a load of people first all moved up north, but I think they all learnt over time that you don't live with your friends.
Never knew things to get this bad, all just seems like someone trying to save face while still taking personal stabs
>>9617639
I miss the days of drama being about which con girls nudes were going around next.
>>9620281
compulsive liar? proof?
It's funny, how quickly anons defend Felix and friends in every thread they're mentioned! Here's a hint, telling people to let it go will do nothing but prompt everyone to wonder what it is you're hiding (:
Picture from Twitter. Supposedly from the Charity Auction on the last day.
From previous experience, the auction is usually packed, no free seats, generally just mobbed, etc. Can't exactly say "oh, it's just a furry panel, those are usually dead anyway" with this one.
>>9620354
It's weird because Alcon isn't a charity
A friend went to Alcon on the Sunday, but didn't pay for a ticket or anything, just walked in and hung out with people. Seems there weren't enough staff members around to check, most of them probably bailed.
>>9620354
Why is there a hobo on stage? Im going to assume its a hobo because he has no shoes.
>>9620361
The auction was to get him a new pair of shoes
>>9620361
Pretty sure it's LittleKuriboh?
>>9620272
A dealer who sells mostly bootleg trash, guess it's a step up from working for a rapist.
>>9620346
To be fair, I'm not defending them, more pointing out the folly of listening to a bunch of anons over personal experience.
I could tell you the sky is green and the earth is flat.
That doesn't make it true.
Like my personal experience of Felixes is that she took a disliking to me and bitched about me on and offline. But we don't run in the same circles, so whilst if I had to I'd be polite but I wouldn't try to talk to her. That's not to say other anons might not have a completely different experience. Cause clearly her friends like her, so there must be something to like.
You'll always hear good and bad stories about someone, usually because of the perspective and experience of the person telling the story. Now if you know the person then you're in a better position to judge whether it's likely to be the same for you based on your similarity to them or knowledge of their judge of character.
But blindly believing a little lilac box seems counter-intuitive.
>>9620394
I have no idea who this Felix is, I'm sure I'm not the only one.
Also, I don't care.
This is on AL's feedback thread
You know it's fucked when a guest publicly voices the shittery
>>9620553
If people who don't even have wristbands/haven't actually paid to attend the con can get in without any issues, I can only imagine how it was at the VIP gala. He's not wrong though, it is a slap in the face, considering how much more it costs for VIP tickets.
I'd laugh if the feedback miraculously disappeared though.
>>9620553
Smells like damage control
>>9620587
The security was handling it? Isn't that usually a gopher's job?
>>9620593
Entirely depends on the event venue. If it's a licensed premise then security would be responsible for wristband checks and indeed bag checks.
>>9620587
From my understanding the bar at DMU has it's own security team and previous events they have done all the bag checks. To give you an idea of how bad the security at this event was if you forgot for a moment that AL was running an event there. Me and my Friends were able to walk into the bar holding booze we had clearly brought in ourselves. The security didn't give a shit full stop. Nothing to do with Alcon they were letting anything in.
Have come across some good cringe on fb whilst reading how shite alcon was. I usually wouldnt post bad cosplayers cuz id feel guilty if they were to see themselves posted, but I'll make an exception for people that support a pedo lol
>>9620608
It does have it's own security, however, compared to previous years, it wasn't this bad. Previous years they did check wristbands, did stop people walking in with outside alcohol, etc.
>>9620341
well baker, first you said you would never go back, then you do
then you say you were asked by the police to remove the fb status, then you say it WAS towers.
you're a complete liar nobody with sense would be anywhere near. you belong with alcon, really
>>9620618
Not Baker but OK, anon
>>9620587
*a lot of dropouts*
>>9620617
Who wears a getup like that and stands that awkwardly?
>>9620617
I know this pair of autists irl. One on the left had an online relationship with an underage girl, would send each other nudes, cybersex and all that
Pedos unite!
>>9620630
>pls kill me
>>9620631
Legit best cos I've come across
>>9620631
Its like someone's crawled into a mattress protector.
>>9620631
what the fuck is that disgrace of a venue
and what the hell are those decoirations
>>9620646
what the actual fuck
>>9617639
i'm just waiting to hear about drama to do with my cosplay friends since all they talk about on facebook is drama. I laughed my head off when i was looking at the archived threads about one of my cosplay friends
>>9619257
same, i only know one person who went to ALcon and she's a DJ there. She said that the tech was pretty bad
>>9619285
i wonder which Lauren you're talking about... hmmm
>>9620764
Spotted this in the MCM Group
facebook.com
/groups/35517615269/permalink/10155615812985270/
>>9620238
it doesn't sound too hard Anon, i'm sure you can make 3 cosplays in 6 months, as long as its not complicated
>>9620264
was the "ALcon Girls" there?
>>9620617
P sure this is someone I went to uni with, she was trying to shag one guy from each country in the world
>>9620699
It's Jim Sterlings Kornflake Humunculus
>>9620354
i was pretty disappointed at the LAGC cosplay auction in February, especially when finding out (or basically rumors being spread around) that Michael took the charity money for himself
>>9620448
yeah i never heard of Felix before either, all i know is about Michael and Alex
Mikes girlfriend didn't go down well at Alcon apparently...she needs to get out of her head and out of Towers pants
Ah, the frantic deleting of negative feedback only serves to make Alcon look worse.
>>9620844
lol yh she thought she was doing 'amazing' but actually it was a fucking shit show don't know how they get away with half the shit they do, duggan got scared and ran cause he w just her trying to run the show by herself trying to be Alex just a shit one Alcon is dead!
So what ever happened with Alex's 'police investigation'?
Doesn't occur to them that maybe the staff members are lying? And that stuff is being reposted because genuine negative feedback is being ignored?
But of course, the people involved who aren't staff were banned, so can't have a fair say in the matter anyway.
>>9620947
I'd also like to know
this mcm in london will be the biggest con in the uk right?
i kinda want to go cause the eurocosplay shit will take place on the 28th, and although i havent given a shit about the wwf since 2005 i can always hope john cena or the rock or something gets enough jewbucks to appear and jew us 25 quid for pose n photo.
gonna go as ryu from sf2 and kintoki from fate stay night.
no third costume tho i think ill go as wojack or something for the memes
Watched maybe 3 Kita 17 vlogs since I didn't go and wanted to see what it was like. I've cringed way too many times why do people act this way
>>9621075
Only big because of normies
>>9621305
If you watch people's vlogs expecting to see what cons are really like you're in for a bad time.
Ever since Hildaglitz set the trend of LOL BANTZ vlogs there have been too many copycats
>>9621330
Pretty much this nowadays. Memes and people just trying to be as obnoxious as possible
>>9620955
Leave them to it, let this dicklord suggest it's exaggeration. It only serves to make alcon look worse to those who are regulars.
Without their regulars they won't even get the 450 members that they got this year.
It's about time this shitstorm ended. It's a shit event, run by cringey scumbags.
>>9621305
vlogs dude? really? that's not how you find out if an event is any good. I really don't give a shit how much someone spend on attack on titan figures.
>>9621305
desu you'd be better off watching the videos of panels and events like what Team Neko do if you want coverage of Kita
any surprise they deleted this one instead of dealing with it?
>>9621410
holy crapsicles
>>9621410
"Hey even if what you said is true, here are X issues
Anyway here is how it actually went down"
USER WAS BANNED FOR THIS POST
Who is the mod? Fucking W.T.Snacks
>>9621398
Will note that in future. Figured I'd get some kind of feedback from watching the attendees but it's just mostly them sitting around eating or in their hotel rooms. No thanks
They're now basically removing any word of people being treated badly in terms of parking. Another user posted about it as their 10th point, and it was edited out by Mike.
I'm really mad I didn't bring my blue disabled badge this year (I don't personally drive), because I could have crammed it into sweaty flaps' wobbly face myself as "proof" that I am actually one of those disableds despite not looking it.
I also can't join in with my friends bitching on the AL forums as I'm already booked in to sell in the AA at LAGC twice next year. I'm happy to answer questions anons have about this year's alcon and the shitshow that was how my friends were treated though,
After 7 years I can't believe this place is finally dead. It was never good, but at least it was a little fun with friends. Not even that this year.
Appeared on the forums last night. By this morning, Mike had edited out point 10 from the post and claimed it was bordering on bullying.
Way to go to cover up your staffs misconduct. I hope people sue.
>>9621457
good to know towers is as delusional as always
>>9621459
It's an old post, but it's definitely showing he was bullshitting about all cons being up on sales from previous years. Considering almost all of the feedback says it was dead, can't have been up on numbers
Since they're deleting the negative feedback, may as well post them on here as and when the feedback appears.
Probably deleted this one because it pointed out they do fuck all when someone is assaulted at their cons
(1/3)
>>9621305
>forming con opinions on vlogs
Better use tumblr chains next time.
>>9621482
>>9621484
>>9621485
Deletes negative feedback, tells them to email instead. Sounds like censorship and a cover-up
So what's the next con you're attending, anons?
temp alcon thread, post nothing you aren't happy to loose, as nothing is archived
>>9621646
EGX
>>9621646
Dunno, when is the next Alcon?
>>9621664
What's wrong with you?
*titanic flute music*
>>9621646
Sunnycon 2018, don't really know much about anything else worthwhile between now and then.
So one of the ECG entrants has been asking people to come help her make her costume.
Y'know, in a contest where you have to make a good majority of it yourself
>>9621838
They are allowed a % of help so it's not a problem
>>9621646
Glasgow or London MCM depending on whether I can be arsed to go north.
>>9621646
it was going to be MCM London October but i decided i'll go to MCM Birmingham instead and then Hyper Japan the week after
>>9621646
It's a toss up between Glasgow MCM, if I decide to go, or RTX, which I already have a ticket for
>>9621838
who? name and shame
>>9621936
the percentage is how much is allowed to be bought or altered - no one else is allowed to make anything
>>9621990
If you buy something surely someone else made it.
Rules state other people can make 25%
>>9622006
Rules state no one you know is allowed to physically make any part of the costume and is only allowed to help with holding things up/measuring etc in case you are unable to do it with one person. Buying a premade part is different to commissioning/someone helping by making something for you
>>9622010
Like most entrants don't get help from family, partners and friends when up against it.
>>9622010
Actually I'm fairly sure you're quoting the Eurocosplay rules here, but since they're entering Ecg the rules are as follows:
'Costumes must be at least 75% handmade by the contestants themselves. Any parts not made by the contestant (i.e handmade by their friends and family should be declared during judging.'
So actually this is fine.
>>9622010
I'd understand if it was simply holding things up etc but it sounds like she wanted someone to sew things together for her as she's running out of time
>>9622029
I stand corrected! Hope she declares it at least. I know someone who always has friends sew large parts of the costumes for her but claims to judges and on her page to do it herself
>>9622405
Following up it looks like she's made the decision to drop out now
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-Dm2lXNC_U
>>9622544
Fuck off with your drama m8
>>9622562
I mean is it not relevant if a con is deleting negative feedback because they fucked up?
>>9622575
Aside from being on topic with discussing UK cons, I mainly want it here just to hurt MT's feelings when he inevitably comes here to post shit and sees that link.
>>9622578
but didn't you hear anon he's WINNING at FOUR chan
No comment
>>9622610
How....How do you actually manage to get worse?
>>9622562
TOWERS DETECTED
>>9622785
oh no
Can someone give me a quick rundown of the Alcon drama, I mean I was there, but all I saw was a lack of attendees and a not very strong panel line up.
Last year was better in that it had a bit more spark but I don't really know much about the drama, just something, text to underage girl, something, dealers room.
Confirmed that there will be no kitacon, mini or otherwise next year.

The owner of AL, Mike Towers, was outed this year for grooming underaged girls and holding onto charity money.
desu a lot of people already knew he was into underaged girls but now it's more public.
>>9622575
yes, but its obvious you're just trying to get views on your shitty channel, which btw you will never grow if this is the kind of garbage you put on it
>>9623629
Not Obayed but honoured you think I am. I'm just reposting his stuff here because he has his posts set to friends only.
>>9607974
Any one going to Northampton comic con next weekend? First con, going solo to oogle the trade stalls and see if I can find any cool weeb robot stuff.
Any tips or people who want to exchange contact info and oogle robots together?
