Givon - I got your reg forms this morning, and you should have received a confirmation e-mail

kiraraplushie · « **Reply #104 on:** August 23, 2007, 07:47:18 pm »

I wish to make a change to my registration form. Do I just email the change I want to make, or send it in a PM?

Jamiche · « **Reply #105 on:** August 23, 2007, 10:28:05 pm »

Kira - if you are changing your character, e-mail would be better with a pic.. if you're cosplay is no change, then wither is fine.

Got bored so I've been reading The Chess Player's Bible, which made me think of something. Has the second Chess master been found/selected/beatenwitharodandlockedinjamiche'scloset?

Just curious.

Jamiche · « **Reply #108 on:** August 25, 2007, 02:17:56 am »

Not as of yet... and unless somebody else volunteers, I'm afraid I might be doing it (and since I was only ever learned the basics, it's gonna be verrrrry interesting

).

BoredHorror · « **Reply #109 on:** August 25, 2007, 08:17:20 pm »

if we don't get enough people signed up by today, what's going to happen?

majinekochan · « **Reply #110 on:** August 25, 2007, 08:37:47 pm »

I'm new to both Kumoricon and Cosplay Chess. And I'm kinda nervous about it, I was wondering if anyone had any tips for a newb Cosplay chess person?

well, I did chess at sakura-con. and I was really nervous about it...but once I was on stage and watching everything play out- it was really hilarious, and fun!
really, just have things ready in the back of your mind (and maybe even practiced) so you don't feel unprepared.

*plan out your characters attacks: have a couple different ones ready. examples may be *a basic attack or *calling someone to help (ex: let's say cloud from ffVII. *slice with sword *call vincent for backup) or if your character isn't the fighting type...(ex: let's say kyouya from host club. *calls in the secret police *calls in hunny senpai with his fighting skills *finds a death note and uses it (yes, kyouya would be the one to find a death note XD ))

*have your death scene planned out: know after the final blow of an opposing character...how you are going to die

*know your battle cries: what are some things your character might cry out? (ex: ansem from kingdom hearts "DARKNESS")

*remember to be loud: you're on stage...there is an audience- if you're going to take the time to say something, ARTICULATE- say it LOUD AND CLEAR so they can understand and enjoy it

this is a chance to act silly and really be in character- so have fun .

and don't be too afraid.

Jamiche · « **Reply #116 on:** August 26, 2007, 09:11:17 pm »

We are still a few pieces short, so we are still accepting registrations. I will be assigning teams and pieces in a couple of days, so any position left open will be pawns - if I receive your sign-up after I've set the teams, you will most likely be a pawn.

Keep in mind tho, if we fill out the board, we still need back-up pieces (in the event someone doesn't make it, their cosplay is not complete, special attacks, etc..) and if we have enough time, we could run a second game. So send in your registrations

Hmm, it's been a while since I've watched Bleach...maybe I should read/watch up on Ishida. x] Make sure I've got everything accurate...because although I'm told by many that I often act just like him, I've gotta know my facts.

sk_chan · « **Reply #118 on:** August 26, 2007, 11:52:32 pm »

I also think an introduction of the characters at the beginning of the event would be a cool idea, and have a cool announcer do it like it's a basketball game or something and get the audience going. |D So the people who haven't watched that anime, haven't read that manga, or haven't played that video game can at least know their names...and if the cosplay is hard to identify (maybe due to likeness to another costume, due to school uniform costumes and such), then they can know who's who.

Also...got this from SakuraCon's website, after their own first Cosplay Chess:

"For next year, I would really like to see the spaces numbered and lettered "3A" "4A" etc.. Mainly because that would make it easier for the chess players to move people (and also so they don't have to come out on to the board to move people) and because, and I had this in the rules originally, I would like for the pieces to leave the board for a battle... so the audience has a clear view, and so no one gets hurt."

RoseMustang · « **Reply #119 on:** August 27, 2007, 11:48:45 am »

ISHIDA!

D: Yeah, It would be...I still have problems remember what pieces move what. But we'll clear that up right?

Yeah, I'm dressing up as School Uniform!Ishida. x3 With an oversized needle and thread prop. I've actually dressed up as him once in the past, but this time I added the prop and a wig, so it'll hopefully look much better than last time...

And hopefully we will, because I'm no chess master, either. I'm sure everything will be cleared up at the pre-meet.

RoseMustang · « **Reply #121 on:** August 27, 2007, 05:41:06 pm »

83 When I see you, you get a hug from little Yachiru.

All I can remember is the Knights move in an L shape and they can jump over their own pieces. =3

AzuKyo · « **Reply #122 on:** August 27, 2007, 06:17:26 pm »

As one of the chess masters, I'll be glad to explain to anyone how there piece moves if they want to know. However, you really shouldn't have to worry about it because your respective chess master will tell you where to move or who to attack.

Uh...okay. 8D;; But if it's like a surprise glomp or something, don't be surprised if I freeze up and feel awkward, though. My social skills are sometimes lacking, as I am an introvert ~~like Ishida~~...|3

AzuKyo · « **Reply #134 on:** August 28, 2007, 11:30:02 pm »

It can't hurt to turn it in anyway. Extras are always needed, and there is a possibility it isn't full either.

RoseMustang · « **Reply #135 on:** August 29, 2007, 11:49:24 am »

Yeah! Turn it in! I think there's still pawn pieces left, if not you can be a backup piece~ I was backup for SC and I got to play :3

=D IT'S WEDNESDAY

For attacks, I have a very nice gun that was given to me at Sakuracon. It's a dollar store gun and makes an adorable click when you pull the trigger. I doubt the click will be heard in the audience, but as long as my gun doesn't get taken at the airport, I'll have that on stage. I also have a Roy plushie I can throw at people. I WAS going to have a custom made Black Hayate plushie, but even though the woman who made it said she mailed it a week ago, the package hasn't come in yet and my flight it 7am tomorrow so I won't have my dog for this con. Sad.
I'm all set for cosplay chess and one of my roommates is a fellow piece on my team so there's no way I'll over sleep and miss the meeting. See everyone at con!

Well, I hope my bag doesn't get searched again. Last year for Kumoricon, I took $91 one dollar gold coins [had a collection] in a pokeball since I was otherwise broke. It scanned as a ball of metal so they searched my bag, ended up spilling my coins inside my bag, and then took my gun even though it was obviously fake. This one is even more obviously fake, so maybe I'll luck out.

If they do check your bag, they will take the gun even if it is fake. Airport security is like that.

Nroseseeer · « **Reply #147 on:** August 30, 2007, 07:30:11 pm »

please take note that if you turn in fake firearms into security before you get your ticket most will send it on your plan and you can pick it up at your destination. I've done this a few times and they were only bothered when it was a sniper rifle prop and it looked very real.

I other words just call and ask and they will help you.

Speacking of weapons, Paul is still working on my sword.
I REALLY hope he can finish it in time cuz if its anything like his its gonne be damned AWESOME... Till I brake it.

Is it possible to sign up to be a shoe-in for someone who doesn't show up? xD;; I've been working on my costume day in and day out, have had a hard time finishing it due to work and college... I'll be cosplaying as Invader Zim. x:
