[Games] AN EPIC EVENT YOU ALL WANT TO COME TO... 8D

By **Duckeh**. 09/10/09, 08:03 am

Could someone please inform me of the dates of holidays? 8'D

Basic idea: Four/Two teams. We participate in various cosplay related and non-cosplay related games and the winning team has ultimate bragging rights for forevarrr. Basically: Crappy games, epic cosplayers, scenic location for photoshoots, epic lazy relaxing OHAND LIKE POOLS/BEACH/SOMETHING AND CRAP.

Location: Still being decided, though it will be on the north island. I personally would like to atleast go for a little drive outta Auckland, but again, tell me what you guys are keen for. {Because I'm terrible & ihu south islanders, ntrly. It's just I'm organising this and that's easier for me. South islanders are welcome to come/make their own event... Actually, if they want to, I say we merge our teams together, so there's two teams NZ wide. 8DDD}

So Rowan and I were talking about how awesome our primary/intermediate school games were... Yeah, and how awesome it'd be to play with cosplayers. IN MY PROCRASTINATION FROM DOING MY AUCKGEDDON COSPLAY, I BRING YOU THIS IDEA.

I'm thinking this could be in mid-January/early February, though obviously this will depend on how much it will cost, because auckgeddon will have just been. If it costs too much, I'll postpone till the next/nextnext holidays in order to give you all some saving time. <3
...
Unless you're not interested..
In that case... GTFO.

Tammy.
Mystix-candy.

Personified Insanity. {Possibly restricted to Mt Maunganui?}
Ridojiri. {Will come if it has tennis courts, lolwut.}
Admin. {Who sucks.}
Rikki-Leigh.
Le_Saboteur.
Kotoneversus. {Transport permitting.}
Wishe. {Location permitting.}

December 18 - February 2 is the dates of School Holidays, I'd be interested if I wasn't full of Phail, but it's a good idea, but will the attendance be that great, and are you going to slap an age restriction on it so the rabid 12 year olds don't crash the drunken slumber party?

By mystix-candy. 09/10/09, 08:15 am

12 year olds will be too shy to crash such a party~
but anyway~ *interest* nodnod

Late January might be better since some of us will be away in December (such as...myself >.< )

By **Duckeh**. 09/10/09, 08:20 am

Haha, thanks.
This is the post to figure out what attendance will be like. I dare say I can rope in enough people to make it enjoyable.

There won't be an age restriction, though I'm thinking the 12 year olds parents won't be happy with them attending a camp with a bunch of strangers, so they'll need a "caregiver" over the age of 18 {Could be someone from the cosplay community, though this will entail them sleeping in the same tent/cabin & having their parents approval.} & I'd want to personally talk to their parents about the extended weekend, whether over the phone or face to face. This would be the same for anyone 15 & under.

NOMNOM.
I'm commissioning tammy to do some art for the teams. 8'D

Hohkay, yeah, late january seems logical at the moment~ <3

/prances around like a fairy./

KEEN. I have my last evarr uni course from nov 16 to dec 1st (ish) and after that I'm free, unless I miraculously find a job. But so, SO keen! Would it be over a weekend, or during the week? How long?

By **Duckeh**. 09/10/09, 08:33 am

WE HAS A STATIC KEEN! <3 8D

I'm thinking it'd be either fri/sat/sun/mon/tuesday or fri/sat/sun/mon. The first and last day would be travelling days. But I'm sure that we could squeeze some awesome in there too. 8D

But at this point, it's all changeable. :3 Again, pricing and how logical it is will decide how many nights. But I'm hoping for 3 or 4, to make it actually worthwhile. //Had written this somewhere & deleted it. orz

By Static. 09/10/09, 08:35 am

All of those options sound good! Especially the fri-mon one...if the fri and mon are taken up with travelling/sorting stuff out, still leaves two days and three nights for shenanigans!

By **Duckeh**. 09/10/09, 08:36 am

Hehe, you stole my edit. 8'D
//hi-fives.

By PIe. 09/10/09, 08:36 am

I are interest, not too sure how my parents would feel about the whole camp-like thing ~~unless you decided the beautiful Mt Maunganui with it's amazing beaches and a rather small mountain was a good place~~

**Guest** Guest

I'd come if there were tennis courts!

By **Admin**. 09/10/09, 08:39 am

A SHORT DRIVE OUT OF AUCKLAND? THAT SOUNDS LIKE MANUKAU. >_>

<_<

>_>

<_<;;

Howiiiiiiick. We have like, a beach. And a bush. And a rentable hall thingy attached to a library that has ~~limited~~ manga. And a park. And Cockle Bay School has this AWESOME adventure playground. 8D And we have cemeteries. WOO CEMETERIES!

EDIT: We have tennis courts too. >_>

Oh and I'm keen, if you didn't guess. 8D

Thinking ahead, hm Admin? 8D

By **Duckeh**. 09/10/09, 08:42 am

@Personified Insanity- Well all locations are an option at the moment. C': However if we did choose another location, feel free to throw your parents my way if you think they'd be worried about your safety? If it's something else, I HAVE NO IDEA. 8'D

@Ridojiri- Hohohoho. Well, hopefully there are then? Razz

@Admin- //slaps.

By Rikki-Leigh. 09/10/09, 08:45 am

Keen, depending on when and where.
This sounds like ACP turned into a camp >D

By **Admin**. 09/10/09, 08:45 am

@mystix-candy:...
>_>
<_<

I have no idea what you're talking about. >_>

@Duck-butt: ;A;

By Blooberry. 09/10/09, 08:46 am

I want to do this, but can't in late january.
;w; Away on cruise from 16th to 28/29th.

By Le_Saboteur. 09/10/09, 08:47 am

Heey, I'm keen too! Assuming I could get time off. And assuming it wasn't gonna be the same weekend as BDO (as I will probably be drunk/hungover for most of that weekend. and sunburned).

I was actually thinking of the Mt as a possible destination, Personified... Other cool places in the north island, uhh... Taupo? Oooh, Coromandel is nais.

Tbh, that's all I can think of for relatively cool places. Coromandel is bursting with hippie tourists (loll) around that time of year, though.

looks like i have something to put in the christmas thread [Games] AN EPIC EVENT YOU ALL WANT TO COME TO... 8D Icon_biggrin

@rikki

but less showy? or are you gonna pull out all the stops and bring a minishop?

as south as possible pleazycakes XD

a potential problem is the possibility of everything being booked because of holidays= thought and preordering required

if he does want to come before this cruise, the weekend before he has to leave, 8-11th, may be in order?

By PIe. 09/10/09, 08:51 am

@Duckeh: My parents need to be thrown into an ocean or something, I get freedom within the north island next year but I don't think it quite extends to this, they're over worried about my safety and even being outside after dark to them means I'm going to get raped. I'm not expecting my suggestion of location to be taken seriously as it's ages away from Hamilton and Auckland and even more ages from Wellington and therefore lots of travelling for everyone

By **Duckeh**. 09/10/09, 08:58 am

D'awww~ >: Well, it still might not go ahead in those holidays, blooberry.

Yeah, I'm actually pretty keen for the mount. I was thinking about it before, too. Razz

Only 2hrs 30 min drive from auckland~ <3 8D That has the potential to be a win car ride, short enough not to kill anyone.
Admittedly, it's like 6hrs from wellington... And I was kinda keen for lotsa wellington peoples, but I suppose a lot of places are further~

//ponders.

Ohyes, and no way would it be on the weekend of BDO.

@Personified- x3 Ohlold.

Haha, and I definately need to look into how far booked most places are.

By KotoneVersus. 09/10/09, 09:22 am

Interested, but obviously I'll have transport/travelling issues. =____=;;

By **Duckeh**. 09/10/09, 09:40 am

>: //crosses fingers.

Ohyes, pirates vs ninjas vs crossdressers. Best teams ever? 8D

By Wishe. 09/10/09, 09:50 am

Interested~ ^^
As usual though... Depending on the event, i.e. drive outside of Auckland, I might not be allowed to join you guys. Parents and trust issues... D8

I support Admin's Manukau (minus the cemetery part) idea. xDD

Annnnd... My holidays start December 1st and end early February. Though I might be going away in December...

Hopefully we'll have enough people~!
