Cosplay Games (updated 5/11/09)

Update: 5/11/09

Wow, times have changed.
What started out as a way to have fun in cosplay has turned into an official Armageddon event!

I'll change the nature of this post.
1) The first half is info about the official Armageddon Cosplay Games.
2) The second half (divided by a line of ~~~~) will have a list of games you can play if you are having a cosplay picnic/event.

Sounds awesome, especially the Struggle Tournament!!

I can't wait 'til we have battles!! Squee!! Darn, I'm like, weapon-less... WHY CAN'T KAIRI BE MORE VIOLENT AND GET A SWORD OR SOMETHING?

And Diss War sounds fun too ~ *cackles*

I'd really suck at improvisation but all of this seems awesome.
I really want to go now.
-can't wait to go on holiday then come back and finally start working on costume-

The struggle tournament sounds really awesome too. xD

... I thought Kairi has a keyblade in KHII? It's so pretty looking. =o

By SoraFangirl. 11/12/07, 11:02 am

I know, the one that Riku gave her.. But it looks to hard to make... Haha, I can't believe I'm giving up without even TRYING to make it ><

By Wishe. 11/12/07, 11:11 am

I understand. xD
I wouldn't even know where to start.
It looks so pretty though. <3

Random battles... "with props, or whatever"
Use whatever is nearby to fight. xD

By SoraFangirl. 11/12/07, 12:06 pm

w00t!! Yeah! Let's use some elderly passerbys as weapons!! ^^ Teehee.

By **Auroa**. 11/12/07, 01:49 pm

ffft, I could just imagine that.

Whatever was meant to mean um... whatever?
Eh just cause its a battle doesn't mean you need a weapon, you could just borrow one, shout a spell or I guess if we're talking about acting in character here you could take the opponent on with ~~kicks and punches-~~ wait thats not a good idea XD you'll just have to pretend you have kairi's keyblade hahah. Invisible weapon!!

By Pyro. 12/12/07, 06:41 am

Wiki therefore sucks, because I'm not a page on it.

-clicks link-
... O_O ... I THOUGHT THIS SOUNDED FAMILIAR!
I've never played it before but once on a bus, my friends were playing that game and they kept cracking up. I wasn't sure what they were doing at first and gave them weird looks because all I knew was that they were telling each "Honey I love you". I'd so FAIL at this game... I crack up too easily. =P

By SoraFangirl. 12/12/07, 11:15 am

Same... I can laugh at anything... I guess I'll just skip that game and brandish my invisible Kairi-keyblade... ^^

By **Auroa**. 14/12/07, 12:03 pm

LOL.

Oooh, if anyone can think of a game that was inside an anime/game we can do then suggest.
- Like struggle in kingdom hearts, blitz ball in final fantasy well okay we can't play that exactly...
I'm sure there's others oO' ... or maybe not. XD

Hey~
Is this going to be in the ACP list of events? O:
If not, can it be?? 8D

By **Auroa**. 10/01/08, 11:49 am

I put it up because I was thinking we could bring these games to the picnic anyway so of course! cheers

And of course, refer to them at each geddon/picnic/cosplay whatever as well. ^^

Re: Cosplay Games (updated 5/11/09)

you know the cosplay chess pyro suggested they actually have that at the Malaysian anime fest at the end of the year

it's really funny because the mcs (2 of them) play chess against each other and the cosplayers move where they are told to move

and when it comes to an enemy they have mock fights

it was so cute when tamaki was fighting souseiseki and she cut his roses with her scissors and he defeated her with tama-chan kick lol =3

By **Auroa**. 07/03/08, 03:03 am

Yeah xD
Pyro sggested it after seeing it on youtube, it looks really fun, though the main trouble is finding enough people, not to mention the rules. Which is why I've put tba. =D
Mmm, I might just start writing it out, I've read so much on it ... we've got three different version: normal chess, spell chess or half chess oO' (that's playing it with half the amount of pieces.)

Seriously, I'd love to host this somewhere sometime cheers

~ trouble is its not really something you can practice before hosting >>'

we might do it at chchgeddon but iunno ^^'

Re: Cosplay Games (updated 5/11/09)

actually i think that this can be used for doujin overload

and in the malaysian anime fest this is part of the judging of cosplays

so there really is no need to rehearse as long as you know who your character is but getting the number of people would be difficult and then we'd have to select 2 people to move the chess pieces

and the set up ... props i.e. chess board ... a very big one XP

but yeah if we can make it work it'll be very interesting =3

By **Auroa**. 07/03/08, 06:46 am

Lol I dunno what one to reply to this one or in the DO Mini Event thread. Okay do here, since I"m already typing.

The thing is some cosplay chess matches overseas are actually already planned out, choreographed and all, etc
but yeah o'course the other way is just allow the players to improvise.

Its hard to tell with numbers, how many usually cosplay at DO? and is there a way to email all of them to ask if they'd want to participate in the match?
Thats the biggest thing, the numbers.
or we could allow non-cosplayers to fill the gaps, and choose a character to role-play as anyway.
or we could do the half-chess version... though since I doubt its a very popular known form, we'd have to know who our two chessplayers are and ask them to practice this chess version first perhaps.

For chch I was/am? gonna do a signup sheet, firstly to know if its worth running the game. And secondly, so it would be possible to try and match the cosplayers character to the piece they'll be. So say a King might be Light/Kira cosplayer and Misa a pawn mwhah. Or good vrs evil side, boys vrs girls, rivals etc blah blah so on.

For chess board, um *tries to think of the list we formed* tiles, cardboard pieces, chalk, tape, some kind of large mat/fabric...
The other thing is room for it to be held?

Re: Cosplay Games (updated 5/11/09)

lol yeah =3 still need to think more about =3=

its the numbers that worry me as its a likely hood thatll well have too little instead of too many XP but whatever TTwTT

>=3

By **Auroa**. 07/03/08, 02:53 pm

I spose you could run the idea past Seong.
Unless we do do the half-version chess... and any pieces that need to be filled can be by non-cosplayers. I can't think of any other way around it.

Without anyway of knowing in advance, how many cosplayers are attending DO and then knowing if they'd be keen on joining... we can't really host it. Its not something you wanna set up and wing on the day and hope to have enough people to play. >>'

The other fact (which is why I asked you about how much time the mini event could have) is the match might last up to an hour... or more... oO'

**Guest** Guest

well i could text macy and see how much ppl have already sent in there forms for the cosplay and ask about advertising it. All though i think we should look at more entertaning events its true chess is great fun but it gets bore'n after sometime if your not playing, ok to me i get bored right away. when with dances its like really entertaning sorry if i sound supa stupid and em annoying it just dosn't seem very logical to me.

**Guest** Guest

ok forget that i dont know what im talking about <.<

By **Auroa**. 07/03/08, 03:35 pm

No! No~ =D
Opinions are good!!

you don't sound annoying or stupid xD
I do agree with your post.
In fact thats the next biggest issue imo... is that it could get boring.

In fact thats what I forgot to write earlier, is I'm worried if we host it (for DO or chchgeddon) ... that it'll get boring.
Thats kinda why I wish we could practice it before hand... without knowing the interest, or how long it can last or the entertainment value ... its a gamble really.

I dont think I could watch a chess match to be honest, but a cosplay chess match is of course much different. Since its role play, it would be more entertaining imo.
But to make sure of this we would need to have every move result in some type of roleplay... for every cosplayer-piece that moves they say something or do something or taunt the opposite piece or iunno.

I think the biggest thing about chess is its a slow paced game that requires you to just sit back and think over your next move. This "think" time is what drags the match on so long.
(Chess players please feel free to correct me on this! Its just based from my personal thoughts)

So, what we could do... maybe... have the match pre-planned. That is the two chessplayers already know what moves to make when. If that makes sense... oO'
That saves waiting around for strategy and thinking.
