If we have time (and we round up a few more people) the alternates will make up the Red Team and will take on the winner of the first match.

As a reminder, all players must attend the mandatory pre-meeting at 10:30am Monday morning unless you have made prior arrangements with me.  If you are not there by 10:45, you will be replaced on the board. If you have special attacks, they must be present as well.  

If you are not on the list, and are hoping to be a part of the Red Team, this is the time for you to be waiting outside the door (pieces will be selected by 11am, if we are to have any).  Remember, there are no guarantees there will be a second game.

If your cosplay is not complete, you may be replaced.

I will be emailing notifications out later tonite or tomorrow.. most likely tomorrow.  If you have any questions, or decide you no longer wish/can participate, please let me know via e-mail or PM, or you can talk to me at con (someone is bound to know where I am).

And now... let the trash talk begin!    See you guys this weekend!

ETA: The Warners are joined at the hip, so Roy and Female Sasuke are stepping up.

[Raveen92]

I'm an alt DX. . .I got degraded from last year
I MUST TRY HARDER NEXT YEAR

my roy wasn't on the alt list DX, I rather have roy on the list

[mellonemrys]

Girls, I will not let Tamaki beat us!

[Mitsukai Mizu Amaya]

xDDD yay!
I was thinking of applying for chess master this year, seeing as there is no way to go up from King of the White Team xD;;;
Queen-->King-->Knight
But sweet, I'm a knight. Awesomest piece on the board.
Oh, and which version of my character was chosen for Knight? I submitted the jumpsuit and the dress versions of her. I'm guessing you want the dress one xD;;;

EDIT
Le gasp! I get to fight against my husband and lover, Zidane! Whatever will I do? *readies summons* >D Payback for all the cheatin' with the castle maids.

[CLAP_attack]

fff. Cross as a Bishop lmao. HE'S A KING..|D he'll be happy playing against girls

[LtCommanderRichie]

Pawn. With Shunsui as King.

I am never living this down.

[Romo]

Whelp I'm an alternate. Good to know. Now I can catch some zzz's. xD

[FateChooseMe]

Good to know, I'd rather be apart of it than not at all.

[Jamiche]

Oh, and which version of my character was chosen for Knight? I submitted the jumpsuit and the dress versions of her. I'm guessing you want the dress one xD;;;

Jumpsuit, please.  You wore your dress last year, yeah?  Mix it up a little

For those chosen as alternates.. keep in mind that while it's not guaranteed, we've had a second match every year, so your odds are good.  Don't give up!

[Mitsukai Mizu Amaya]

last year I was Wedding Dress Yuna, the year before I was Dress Garnet. But the Jumpsuit then; good. Much easier to manuver and more easily recognizable. xD

[CLAP_attack]

fff. now i cant be blamed for being a horrible chess playing

[mellonemrys]

EDIT
Le gasp! I get to fight against my husband and lover, Zidane! Whatever will I do? *readies summons* >D Payback for all the cheatin' with the castle maids.

I have to send you guys to go fight my Syaoran... T_T *wanted good vs. evil partly for this reason* Play nice with him! (and with all the boys I suppose...we don't wanna break them TOO badly!)

[Raveen92]

wasn't there an evil Syaoran character in Tsubasa?

[mellonemrys]

*nods* But this is 'Real' Syaoran from the Infinity Arc...and thus not evil...(we've been planning this cosplay for almost a year ^_~)

[Jamiche]

I'm an alt DX. . .I got degraded from last year
I MUST TRY HARDER NEXT YEAR

my roy wasn't on the alt list DX, I rather have roy on the list

I only have you down for Itachi.. did you want to submit Roy for the alt list?

[Mitsukai Mizu Amaya]

Maybe we could recruit evil chars for next year? I'll add in my Kayako from Ju-On/The Grudge and my friend Emilie (Eiko this year) will be doing Sadako of The Ring/Ringu fame, complete with a cardboard well xD.

[CLAP_attack]

omg. i told my friend he wasn't on the list - then to later see he was LMAO.

[Raveen92]

i submitted both. . .I could PM you some shots of Roy if you want *aka links to my facebook*

must create uber or weird cosplay for next year. . .like like maybe Hitomi from Appleseed or Misato from Evangelion O___________O

[Jamiche]

I'll double check my email.  Since you're an alternate, just remind me at the pre-meet, and you'll be fine

[CLAP_attack]

I'll be bringing Slippers = w= nothing says manly like pink slippers

[Jamiche]

Raveen92 - found your Roy (emails had stacked, I only saw the second one).  There's a change in the line-up... all the Animaniacs are one piece, so your Roy is in.

[mellonemrys]

Maybe we could recruit evil chars for next year? I'll add in my Kayako from Ju-On/The Grudge and my friend Emilie (Eiko this year) will be doing Sadako of The Ring/Ringu fame, complete with a cardboard well xD.

We will definitely be recruiting next year! *sadly has no evil characters she could really do*

[Mitsukai Mizu Amaya]

xDDD I'll definately make sure to apply as Kayako then. I know how to do all her make-up, bloodied and non-bloodied version alike, I can twitch like her, sans the special effect frame skipping, and have practiced her croak...
Now to make it funnier by making a little toy plush of Toshio or grab a black cat plushie. xD

This'll be fun! I'm a piece that gets real movement! Queen was amazing two years ago, as was King, but the latter usually gets movement only in the latter half of the game and king is lucky to get a single battle. xD;;; Still amazing though.

Will there be enough for a second game, do you think? Pulling people for a red team, recycling/switching out pieces, changing out the losing chess master like last year, etc. Because I would so do chess master if so. I still remember how a losing pawn rose to Chess Master and beat our beloved Olivia last year.

[CLAP_attack]

I'm never gonna be chess master again. I'll be alive , dead, or - womanizing .
I CAN'T wait till the match !

[Mitsukai Mizu Amaya]

My chess skills are a bit rusty, but I was on the chess team and when I was little was the first to beat my dad, an ex-chess champion, in a while. It earned me a hundred bucks xD

EDIT
Maybe I can get my friend Chelsea to do one of her many evil chars... like that evil queen chick from the first season of Sailor Moon... Beryl! Or Kirie from Fatal Frame 1 *schemes to eventually get out of the battle of the sexes funk*

[FateChooseMe]

I'm going to be doing Miku Hinasaki next year, wouldn't that be hilarious if Kirie and Miku faced off? XD

[nekovamp13]

I didn't get my form in, sadly, but I was gonna be one of the few baddies!!!
Would be funny if I got in though...Envy doesn't really have a gender XD

But I will probably put all bad guys in next year!!! Since I'm planning a few ^^

[Besieged.Infection]

I MADE IT!!! <3 <3 <3 I can't believe I made it!!!! Wow... those 16 hours sprees for four days straight making that cosplay really paid off!!! (Made it out of a sweater, two pairs of pants, a vest and duct tape. LOTS OF DUCT TAPE. XD) I'm a pawn, BUT THIS IS STILL AWESOME!! <3 *Dances around happily* Now... sleep... *faints*

Edit: Thank you so much for posting this!!!

[CLAP_attack]

My friend who is the King piece for the Guys is happy to be in it for the first time 8'D

[mellonemrys]

That's one of the Bleach characters I am not really familiar with...however I am very familiar with Zechs, the boy's Queen...I will enjoy beating you all.

And against Tamaki (BTW we should talk character interaction and such in the next few days Austen!) this should be quite amusing...though being in character will be um...interesting...(I don't normally play characters like Sakura, so this'll be be new!)

[StarryShay]

Kay, I just realized that the black team never wins the first match.

BUT FEAR NOT, YOU HAVE ALOIS TRANCY ON YOUR SIDE.

I will stab out as many eyes as I need to, to  ensure we win. > u <

[Coconutty93]

YOU ARE SO GOING DOWN, SHAY!!!

[StarryShay]

What a filthy woman, talking to me like that~!
I'll be sure that Claude shuts you up, hehehe.
-Twirls around-
Ole~!

[Coconutty93]

In what way.....? O.e

[SageBell]

Animaniacs!!?? They must sing their song before they kill

[Romo]

I am soooo excited to see the Animaniacs. xD They're already awesome just for doing that.

[chelseahavoc]

YESSSSS GO TEAM BLACK D:

white ravens gonna get you team white be ready for a good kick in the rear!

....ironic... white raven... team black....

[Jamiche]

I am soooo excited to see the Animaniacs. xD They're already awesome just for doing that.

I know.. I was very happy to see their entry   Altho, how they are going to fit three on one square....

And I know it's a little different, having the boys be white and the girls black, but it seemed fitting this year.  (And besides, maybe this way the Black Team will win first round )

For those that didn't get their form in on time... there's always Red Team.  Players will be picked during the pre-meet, so be sure to be around.

[Raveen92]

YAY I GOT UP-GRADED!!! *goes ranting after a very tough night of sleeping. . . I couldn't sleep*

Wow three characters in one space. . .

[majinekochan]

HOLY SNOTMUNKEYS!!! I'm the King, again. as Martel? OK. But, but, that means I won't fight.

[Gryffinclaw Princess]

You know something funny?
Most of the people on Team Male are actually girls. >.>

[meep]

yay! I got in as Miku! :3

[Blizzara Dragon]

Aww sad, I'm an alternate this year. And when there's two other Bleach characters on the male team too...

[emokrory]

*lifts my hat sleepy eyed* so much noise the king needs to sleep u know ;3

[CLAP_attack]

,... nice kris xD its true


.. You know ..Cross doesn't like Guys xD so a team of guys near him migght be dangerous LOL

[majinekochan]

*lifts my hat sleepy eyed* so much noise the king needs to sleep u know ;3

A King who sleeps during battle is no King at all.

[Gryffinclaw Princess]

So Niki...if I end up being the one who kills you, will you just readily lay down for me to walk all over you because you are a man and I am a woman?
Even though I'm really a man turned into a girl?


I'm like...the traitor. XD
You should worship me, Niki!
I am a man who turned himself into a woman and now I am surrounded by them! Be jealous of my amazing ninja skills that have given me access to many women who can help to revive my clan!

[CLAP_attack]

Majin -

..lol he's a special king ;; If I was king... I'd be worse


Kris -

FFFFT. noooo , instead how about we go out for some wine

[Raveen92]

I just realized Dot is a female animaniac on the Guys team O_o

[RemSaverem]

Hi, not involved, just totally blown away by how amazingly complex this enterprise is. I've never been able to attend it and had not realized how much went into it & how full of zeal participants are for it. You are all amazing!
