Alright I am going to be hosting the cosplay chess panel at Mewcon this year. If you are interested in signing up please fill out this and email it to me at mulholln@gmail.com by December 1st, please include a picture of your cosplay, a complete picture. I will create the teams and create a script and send it out to everyone. I'll let you know of the teams prior to making the script.

If you are unable to email it to me send me a message and I will give you a mail address to send it to.

I saved it as a word document so most people should be able to open it, add in the information and save and resend it. If you have having problems let me know and I can try to help.

I want to do this, but i have no idea how to play cosplay chess

nikkiolie · « **Reply #2 on:** September 13, 2010, 03:19:39 pm »

You don't need to know how to play chess, the pieces just move where they are told and play battle that is it.

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #3 on:** September 13, 2010, 04:37:34 pm »

I assume that this means someone will be telling the pieces where to go, still abiding by traditional rules...

Mr Silmero · « **Reply #4 on:** September 13, 2010, 04:45:19 pm »

No my dear Washougal- we shall have the pieces running wild over the board, an all out melee! Knights running down pawns, Rooks checking queens like a hockey player in a bad mood. Kings actually DOING SOMETHING USEFUL! Thats how MEWcon Chess shall be run this year!

Note: Entire post should be read in a lighthearted tone, nothing said should be taken as serious in order to save us all some trouble.

P.S.: Jail Rules Chess sounds amazing though, too bad we have "laws" and "standards" we have to abide by.

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #5 on:** September 13, 2010, 05:08:09 pm »

I prefer my chess with rules and strategies. This is making me lean more towards a "yes" to whether or not I'll be going.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #6 on:** September 13, 2010, 05:32:12 pm »

Yeah what I plan on doing is looking up a pretty good, long, and quite strategic chess game up online then putting the pieces to that and making a script and what not. I think it will be pretty good. I may not give a script to the chess masters so they can improv all they want. I haven't decided yet. I am open for suggestions ^_^

Does anyone know Where the MewCon Cosplay Chess going to be held? I just ask because I want to know if
there will be space for spectators... I've seen the new space and I'm just curious if it's going
to have the ability to be watched, or if I should just suck it up and join in the fun?

RemSaverem · « **Reply #8 on:** September 13, 2010, 06:48:14 pm »

I definitely want to watch!

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #9 on:** September 13, 2010, 06:55:56 pm »

If it's during Day 2 (which I think is supposed to be the villian-themed day, if I remember correctly) I might be going as Bakura from Yu-Gi-Oh or Lore from Star Trek: TNG. Neither one should be a pawn; maybe rooks and bishops...?

RemSaverem · « **Reply #10 on:** September 13, 2010, 06:58:35 pm »

It would be so fun if you were Lore & we paired you off to battle a Data.

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #11 on:** September 13, 2010, 07:25:36 pm »

THAT WOULD BE EPIC⁴!!!

RemSaverem · « **Reply #12 on:** September 13, 2010, 07:29:02 pm »

Yes, please! I can try to see if my pal the body painting panelist for Creation Station could come to con & paint folks faces, what fun

I asked for a big room to allow for the board and seating.

legoman60 · « **Reply #15 on:** September 16, 2010, 05:26:25 pm »

We could also talk to the main events managers about having it there, if there is enough interest.

It will be alright if you don't have a badge number. I don't really need one. I just kinda borrowed the Kumoricon forum and didn't change really anything >_>

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #17 on:** September 17, 2010, 01:16:57 am »

Are you gonna make a theme for the teams, if possible?

nikkiolie · « **Reply #18 on:** September 17, 2010, 10:59:03 am »

If possible I will but I don't think there will be enough people to do that. It may just be two random teams.

Bresslol · « **Reply #19 on:** September 17, 2010, 04:20:26 pm »

I don't think cosplay means pretending to be what you already are, but I would love to see this anyway.

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #21 on:** September 20, 2010, 03:29:43 pm »

I agree, but I think others wouldn't get it.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #22 on:** September 20, 2010, 07:44:06 pm »

you could go as House Bressler....speaking on which there is a new one on tonight. :3

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #23 on:** September 20, 2010, 07:50:50 pm »

Yeah, I know, and I WILL WATCH IT!!! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

I don't think this was mentioned, but what day of the con will this game be? I know that most cons that do this have it on the last day, but I'm pretty sure I've heard others doing it on the second. Plus, if I can only go for one day, I'd like to have some idea as to which day I'll be doing.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #24 on:** September 20, 2010, 08:05:35 pm »

I have no clue. They haven't told me.

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #25 on:** September 20, 2010, 08:09:06 pm »

Ah, I guess that makes sense, but what a bummer...

legoman60 · « **Reply #26 on:** September 21, 2010, 02:34:58 pm »

The schedule, although started, is no where near ready to be released. Besides, we still have three and a half months before the convention. I can say that we are trying to meet every scheduling request for panels, however, there have been a great deal of requests for times after four pm which there is limited of. There was also talk last meeting of cosplay chess being in main-events in the afternoon (the specific day was not mentioned).

FateChooseMe · « **Reply #28 on:** September 21, 2010, 07:56:29 pm »

I am slightly interested in this.

I could totally do some butt kicking with my Hitomi Cosplay.

I assume that you're easy to work with...?

Well, I'll be trying to keep an eye on the con to see if and when I'll be going.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #31 on:** September 22, 2010, 10:45:46 pm »

I am pretty easy. I typically don't go to many panels during mewcon so I don't have plans as of yet.

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #32 on:** September 23, 2010, 07:04:50 am »

At times, I wish I wasn't dating...

nikkiolie · « **Reply #33 on:** September 23, 2010, 09:39:11 am »

XD well hopefully if things go as planned soon I will be

RemSaverem · « **Reply #34 on:** September 23, 2010, 01:17:45 pm »

@ nikkiolie, good luck, personally & professionally
@ disproportionate request for panels after 4pm, is that true for Sunday, as well? (I'm thinking of running some panels, but they would be Sunday mid-afternoon or later.)
@ House season premier: As with every episode of House I can recall, there were parts where I liked the flirting and interpersonal dynamics, parts that squicked me medically, parts that squicked me with "Did they just go there?" inappropriateness, but overall, I ended up even more invested in what happens within and amongst the characters, and I am rooting for Huddy to work out as a couple. Does feel like a long-shot, though. But yeah, it didn't really feel like it lived up to the all-summer hype (but what ever does?).

JeffT · « **Reply #35 on:** September 23, 2010, 03:31:17 pm »

Ok, now that there have been two posts on the subject, I will request that off-topic posts about House (or other things) be taken to their own thread at this point. Thanks.

Awesome! Here's to hoping for your success!

So, I can't find the PM I got from Ellen about which days were what cosplay theme, but I remember the villian one. Which day is that one, and what are the others, again? This way I may have a better idea as to what I may cosplay as, should I submit a form to be a chess piece...

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #37 on:** September 23, 2010, 10:43:39 pm »

Day 1-rave/party
Day 2-Villains
Day 3-World of Labyrinth/Steampunk

So I've got my plans finalized, cosplay wise. I don't have any of them done yet, but Nikki, I'll just tell you what I'm planning, so you can tell me which one/ones I should put in. So I know which ones to get done first.

Alakazam gijinka (probably have a Sabrina be the piece and me the attack), Akito-Air Gear, and GraveRobber-REPO! The Genetic Opera.

FateChooseMe · « **Reply #38 on:** September 23, 2010, 10:46:52 pm »

Alakazam and Sabrina ftw!

nikkiolie · « **Reply #39 on:** September 24, 2010, 01:22:31 am »

As soon as I know when it will be I will let everyone know. So far I have only gotten one entry. So at this rate no one will be turned down or it wont happen.

and thank you everyone who wished me luck. Everything is going great so far.

Day 1-rave/party

How does that work for cosplay...?

I'm not really quite sure what I'd choose for Labyrinth or Steampunk, either, but at least I have some possible ideas...

legoman60 · « **Reply #41 on:** September 25, 2010, 03:52:49 pm »

Although some of the events will be themed the entire convention wont be. One that note, just because a day is a certain theme doesn't mean we are going to make you cosplay in that theme

But, but, someone said that if I violated the cosplay codes, they'd have me ground up into Aaron burgers, served with avocadoes. That makes me sad...

I just wanted to know for sure, ya know?

Ya know, I should ask my girlfriend to see if she's even interested in going to MEWcon. I'm gonna call her now and see...

nikkiolie · « **Reply #45 on:** October 21, 2010, 09:23:37 pm »

If you are interested in signing up please sign up soon. As it gets closer to the deadline if I don't have enough participants or enough interests I will have to cancel it.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #46 on:** November 12, 2010, 09:05:15 am »

Anybody want to sign up? Right now the deadline is Dec 1st but I only have one person signed up. If there is still only one person Dec 1 I will be canceling the panel so if you want to play please fill out the form soon. You can even send me a picture of your cosplay later I just need more people who want to play.

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #47 on:** November 13, 2010, 08:45:25 pm »

Do you still have any idea as to what day the game will be?

nikkiolie · « **Reply #48 on:** November 13, 2010, 10:55:16 pm »

Not entirely sure I think it may be the first day but again I don't know.

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #49 on:** November 13, 2010, 11:00:17 pm »

Okay, um, well, it's not official yet, but I might be working for a good portion of MEW con at the KCon table. ...would an old-school Star Trek red shirt work okay for ya?
