Christchurch Cosplay Ball (UPDATE)

By Max Power. 09/08/09, 03:33 pm

naw I dont think she is
Angie and Pyro and Wiing are the founders who are still around I belive and they formed the club ^_^

By Pura. 09/08/09, 03:33 pm

To me, the original members where those that went to the outing 8D;;
But me not being a part of the club can't really say much on the subject xDD.

By Max Power. 09/08/09, 03:34 pm

you still count Pura, you were there first! Xd

By Lavi_x. 09/08/09, 03:36 pm

YAY 8D
Was the first meeting the one where James dropped his icecream on the floor? or was that the second? xD

High turnover of originals then. Good to see Aura enjoying herself with nothing to organize.

Also I finally got video three to upload. Trying Video four for the third time. Dang comp shut down during attempt one. But attempt two failed too, does anybody else have that problem with large youtube uploads?

[Ontopic for a change]

By Pyro. 09/08/09, 03:37 pm

@ChibiTobi/Highlander- Anne could almost be considered one of the originals, 'cause I think both Angie and I were in contact with her when we first came up with the idea.

I know that I sent her at least 1 or 2 PMs via cosplay.com saying 'BE PART OF THE CHCH COSPLAY CLUB, ANNE, WE'VE ONLY GOT FOUR MEMBERS RIGHT NOW'.

(The four in Angie and I's pseudo club were, for the record, Angie, Angie's brother Ham', Juliette (who I think rejoined the forums a little while back?) and I)

@ Highlander Your videos were awesome xD. It was fun to watch people dance xD

Oh yey~ honorary member 8DDD

By Kelz. 09/08/09, 03:41 pm

Oh, Pyro, question. What was up with your pants?

By Pyro. 09/08/09, 03:42 pm

The PVC delaminated from the backing. xD

Highlander wrote:: By the same token if I understand this right, not being there when it was founded, but the club does not officially exist. There are no subs, joining procedures, etc as such. It's just a group of people based around the forums.

L: What I meant by conservative is like we are not as into sexual innuendo, and even bad language, revealing cosplays, etc., not that we dress conservative vs the rest of society. But then youth group people are often like that, a bit loud and energetic, used to acting outside the norm, but keep things clean. Like I say I don't know what an actual meet anywhere else is like. Although DnDn was a bit of an experience.

Pura: We need security guards, the youth gangs were taking over the bus exchange a few years back.

And guys sorry I offended you. I see Lavi thought I was serious and he wasn't. It's hard to know these things online. But I didn't really appreciate the being called a sugar honey iced tea. I didn't think I said anything really bad?

Anyway sorry Lavi.

Ok I'm going to have a rant, because a lot of things about this post push my buttons.

1) A club is a club, by defination a group of people that do stuff, everything else is irrelevent to actually being a club. It's pretty rude to say that just because this club isn't run according to say University policies or whatever that it isn't officially a club - Especially for someone who has only just come on board. I've been with this club since it started more then a year ago, have watched it grow and become bigger and better. It's a gigantic put down to trivialize everything we do just because we don't appoint positions or whatever.

2) You say "we are not as into sexual innuendo, and even bad language, revealing cosplays" What do you know and who are you speaking for? You've moaned about me using the word Heck before because it's bad language - Grow up.

I don't like rampant swearing, but i'm not a rigid prude who takes umbrage at any uncouth language - and I'm pretty sure that most of the people here aren't either. You say "we" aren't into bad langauge. Get it right, you aren't into bad language, and thats fine, but don't try and project your own hangups onto others. I find sexual innuendo to be an acceptable and entertaining form of humour, so do most of the people on here that I hang out with.

Highlander wrote:: But I didn't really appreciate the being called a sugar honey iced tea.

Maybe you should roll with the punches? Razz

You're good enough to dish it but you can't handle the feedback?

Highlander, I see you alot on here being judgemental and pushing your opinion on others, despite being one of the newer members. I don't really care how old you are, but maybe you should have a bit of respect for people like Lavi and Pura and the rest who are founding members of the club and have been here since the begining.

MissEevee wrote:: - feels like complaining about having cosplayed at last year's Chch'geddon and being unrecognised, but will refrain -

yeah, i find it really odd how we have such a big cosplay club, and yet it's the most conservative city in NZ.

And you've lived in how many cities in NZ?

Cloud Strife wrote:: Can kinda understand where both Lavi and Highlander are coming from..

It's hard to tell whether or not somebody is joking or being serious online..

But let's move on ... forgive each other... hug whatever and move on from the past..

Nobody was in the wrong...

Clair, we don't have to molly coddle each other, part of being adults is having a discussion with opposing viewpoints and not getting butthurt. God I'm sick of the cotton candy attitude around here "Oh, lets not argue because someone's feelings might get hurt Bawww"

By Max Power. 09/08/09, 03:59 pm

THANK YOU WILL!!! your bloody awesome cheers

By Highlander. 09/08/09, 04:00 pm

Delaminating, shouldn't do that for a long time?

Pura: If you haven't got a club in Welly then you might as well be in ours (I am told it is the best?). Besides all I had to do was join the usergroup, and you seem to have done that.

Also you haven't seen the best of them yet. I have about another ten to sort through. The one I am uploading now from memory has close ups of Ze Pervy Kappa and a chocolate biscuit. And there is the one where I am dancing, Emma and Miss Eevee are leading a sing a long, and Sakura who is videoing for me does not realize everything she says is being recorded!

I think I saw a vid of the Wellington Ball a year ago somewhere, or was it something else. Seemed kind of cool like ours, without the lights.

So Pura have you friended me, cause you get to see more videos that way.

PS. I will be in Wellington some time over Christmas New Year, but not sure if I will have any free time.

Official Mod Warning:

I am going to say that people are feeling uncomfortable and I would prefer if that line of conversation would stop immediately.
This is not the topic for it and I will now sift through posts to see if photos are up just because I am actually curious about how it all ended up!

If you wish to continue this conversation without the agitated & antagonizing undertone, I'm asking you to make a new thread and talk it through with slightly more maturity, or, preferably take it to PMs.

By sakura_petals. 09/08/09, 04:04 pm

Don't upload that one please? I'm sure someone else has it on video? I know Crazy was videoing next to me!!!

By Pseudonym. 09/08/09, 04:08 pm

I'm sorry but maturity would be actually discussing things rather than censoring everything.

By Pura. 09/08/09, 04:08 pm

Haha, yeah. I join your's. Unfortunatly, I can't come to the meetings. (I kinda view CHCH as like a 'second home', as silly as it sounds. I grew up in Timaru, and travelled to CHCH a bit, and I love the place).

Heh, I don't remember joining a usergroup xDD;;

Yeah, I have videos from Welly events on Youtube, but I don't go on much, and therefore never both subscribing to people.

By MissEevee. 09/08/09, 04:10 pm

i thought people disagreed with me on the censorship point?
wow, finally, an agreement! C:

but i do agree that this is not the thread to do it in.
i came back expecting a million more photos/videos, but no, just walls of text/arguing. ):

Pura's post ages ago: we will definitely kick the Welly group into gear. n.n
Rani told you about me? all good, i hope. o-o

By Pura. 09/08/09, 04:17 pm

@ Eevee, yeah, I was talking to her before you met up and she said you were becasue she was getting cupcakes xD. And then she told me you make brillinat cupcakes, and mentioned a bit about what you do for uni/plan to do xD. Sho yeah~ All good.

It's very funny, and won't it all be on crazies cam too if she was beside you? Especially since it's the only one I was actually dancing in.

Maybe you don't have to join to post here? I thought you did?

Cyren both me and Crazy have the time warp, but very different angles

Censoring would be to cover up what has been said? o-o
Censoring would be to forbid a new topic?
I don't understand, was this directed at me?
If you honestly think I haven't done something right, please PM me. >.<
Or there will be a thread up soon asking for input into the forums and how we mod.

I'll leave it at that, I really shouldn't have asked. But I'm curious and I'm posting here anyway.

Anyway, looking through the photos~ <3
Ahgh. Wish I could've come. :3
I haven't met so many of you! Seeing as I didn't come to this years chchgeddon.
//flails.

By sakura_petals. 09/08/09, 05:09 pm

NotSarah - I'm the one with you on photo 1038 (the one in the blue dress with flower type patterns). You can either use sakura_petals or Calie as a tag, or both. Nice photos by the way! Can't wait for you to find out who everyone is - then I can find out who everyone is! nyahaha

By Highlander. 09/08/09, 05:12 pm

Surely if they were going to they would have on the night?

Crazy stood at one end. I moved around, and with the LCD tilted was able to get over peoples heads and get everyone in over the course of the dance.
