ping- Okay. I think 9-10 sounds good so I have to to set stuff up. However if you can be there 15 minutes early so we can discuss plans that would be great. I was actually going to gather you all up and ask your opinions on what the starting bids should be. The time you spend with them should start after the auction. Corralled....hmmm. You may have to ellaborate on that one a little more. Carry someone arround. No. I don't think you should be forced to manual labor. If they make you carry a bag that's okay. However, carrying THEM for 6 hours. No.
Janice- The time changed to 9-10. But be there 15 minutes early.
Riku- It's either going to be held in the room where the ninka dance off will be taking place or the Karaoke room. I still have to get this answered.
Can someone send me kumoricon's schedule? My comp is a piece of crap and won't open it.
"Will there be parameters for the "Buyers" to keep us corralled, like you can only keep the young ones in certain areas, or the 18+ all over(except for the actual hotel rooms)? Etc?
As far as manual labor, ie. carrying someone around for 6 hrs is impossible for me, as well as me being in cosplay. So will there be some REALLY preset rules to what the "Buyer" can do instead of a vague no sexual or questionable conduct."
as for the "corralling", for the younger cosplayers, only a certain area so they can be watched over? Like in the lobby area? The 18+ have roaming privileges to go with their Buyer.
Also the set rules for Buyers? I mean, what can they do? I mean as far as I'm concerned, I'm okay with holding onto their arm and being chaperoned around like a prize. Taking pictures, talking, walking with them, going to have something to eat or drink within the hotel. I'm not okay with personal exchange of info like phone numbers, personal addresses. E-mail eh, maybe. But this isn't a dating service, I'm not looking for anyone.
I sound like a stick in the mud XO
