and yes, if we DID do chess, it would have to be rehearsed & scripted. :)

Two controllers, a horde of cosplayers. Divvy the cosplayers into two teams, one for each controller. Then the controllers take turns "summoning" cosplayers onto the feild of battle, and and the cosplayers are used to attack the other controller. The defending controller uses THEIR cosplayers to block the attacks. Resolution of each fight is done by court of public opinion.

Controller 1: I choose YOU, JP! (JP does something silly as he joins the feild).
Controller 2: I choose YOU, Duckeh. (Ditto Duckeh)
Controller 1: Now Feel my wrath, Controller 2! JP, ATTACK!
Controller 2: I'll defend against JP with Duckeh!
(JP "attacks" Controller 2 with, I dunno, Flash Attack, but Duckeh blocks with... exploding boobs? The crowd decides who wins.) If the attacker wins, the defender loses a life (5 lives?? 3?) instead of the more complicated system of attack points in YGO/M:TG/etc.

I thought maybe having levels of characters and you sacrifice lower level ones (similar to YGO) to get higher level ones. So you have to sacrifice your Roxas and your Sora in order to summon your Final Form Sora, or something else suitable. Want to summon Sephiroth? Well you've got to sacrifice your Final Form Sora AND a Cloud. So maybe 3 levels of strength and to summon a 2 you have to sacrifice two 1's and to summon a 3 it's 3 1's or a 2 and 1.

But it could be largely unscripted, repeatable (rearrange the groups and get new controllers) and each character could have a go at either attacking or blocking, or at least being sacrificed. Plus crowd participation!

LMFAO at example. Razz

When I was uploading all those photos from the Zack Vs Genesis mock battle (which I later named the Auckland Armageddon Cosplayers Brawl) I thought, that'd be a cool cosplay event to have. But at the same time I also thought against it due to the fact there could be a high probablility of someone getting hurt if they aren't careful.

Still this falls in a similar scenario to the cosplay chess as well. Or alternatively we could do something like Utena styled duels (cosplayers both wear a rose pinned to their top and attempt to remove their opponent's one..... except they would need to be properly rehearsed to avoid the case of someone ruining another person's cosplay) However the concept seems amusing of having 2 cosplayers duel for the hand in marriage of another one.

if we're doing fights, why not just a pillow fights? Sword fights always end in tears (and blood).
Or if you're going to have swordfights, at least make sure they're choreographed so they look cooler than just random sword fights.

I kind of just skimmed over the 6 pages but there should still be skits. Skits are fun!

By **JVCA**. 02/11/08, 05:27 am

Pillow fights end in broken costumes. D:

**Guest** Guest

mm, I'm against fights, I have to say for that reason, plus people may take them too seriously. We all know how macho some of us can be~ 8D; Those kinda things we save for doing outside the con. :3

That Yu-Gi-Oh idea sounds epicly fun - thanks, kornie~!

Skits are a must, I agree. 8D It's too far away to start writing those though, as people's cosplay plans are likely to change.

thoughts that are looking likely so far:
~ yu-gi-oh fusion thing thing
~ name that anime theme song
~ skits
~ algorithm dance + extended HHY
~ catwalk, with quick questions from audience re: how the cosplayer constructed it/misc
~ cosplay charades

**Guest** Guest

There is already a pillowfight at Wellygeddon every year! Well the last few years at any rate. I didn't join in but it looked AWSOME! ;D

By **jpwise**. 03/11/08, 12:58 am

heh, it's also the last event of the entire weekend, where costume damage isn't going to be a showstopper. Razz

I always miss the pillowfight...I need to learn to wear shoes that do not kill me ded.

**Guest** Guest

I always miss the pillow fight too, for similar reasons. x_x'

to build on cosplay charades -

~20 questions
Variation of the real life 20 questions, but role-playing a character. People can ask more than yes or no questions, but if the answer might give it away, then person being interrogated doesn't have to answer.

flaws I can see:
~ may be confusing if those in cosplay of another character go up & pretend to be another?
~ potential spoilers for those who haven't seen/read the series

any way we can get around this?

By Suixelo. 03/11/08, 07:48 am

Maybe ask for no spoilers, they can say general things about the series and just be sensible when asked about something that could be a spoiler.

We could have the people acting as someone they aren't cosplaying hold up a piece of paper with the character's name and series on?

If I Were Not Upon The Stage.

^__^

Except it would need practice as a group and Iunno if we can do that... Here's a vid so you get the idea.

Yeah that's my 2 cents worth. :3

By Suixelo. 05/11/08, 08:53 am

Can't view videos... Can you explain perhaps? Thanks lol.

By Rissa Bayashi. 05/11/08, 09:08 am

Basically...
A bunch of people almost hitting each other in the head, but not quite.

Like...
As one person flings out their hand to the left, that person on their left is ducking down. In turn, when that person flings out their hand, it also misses the person next to them.

It's all about the profession you'd have if you weren't an actor. So a police officer, a boxer, a painter and so on.

It's really hard to explain!! MARGLBLARGLFAIL!!! D;;;;;

By Suixelo. 05/11/08, 09:13 am

Ohh...
Kind of like that game where one person is stood, one is sitting and one is on the floor? Or not? XDD

Heehe, Boyfriend did that song/skit as part of his school stuff about 11 years ago when he was Form 2. By the end of it, that song is very nearly as annoying as the either of the Lamb Chops songs. Very Happy

By Rissa Bayashi. 06/11/08, 02:13 am

Rehearsing it is absolute killer. You're all like "OMG STFU I KNOW WHAT YOU WOULD BEEEEE x_X"

But it is hilarious to watch.

A big line of people flailing and ducking... Win. X3

Hi there. NZ Newbie here. I just skimmed through the thread so I have no idea what's going on XD I was sent here.

**Guest** Guest

oh hai. :3

uh~ basically, what's going on is that we're planning to organise an event at Wellygeddon - we've done this in the past (one time failed, one time really great) at Aucklageddon. Said event was held in one of the convention rooms to an audience, and we performed skits/dances/had a questionnaire thingy, and I'm sure there was more, I just can't remember. [too much studying for me today, I think >>;]

Any and all help is appreciated though. :3

By Kori123. 15/11/08, 10:03 am

Oh that could be fun! I could share the enjoys of teh long verison caramelldansen XD
