No problem. For the people north side, I'm thinking of Tuesday at 2 at Waterfront Park under the Morisson Bridge. No cosplay needed but welcome to have. We'll work on stuff for a half hour to an hour. Whoever can come, cool. Whoever can't, don't worry, we'll practice before the con.

Sep. 4th is my school's orientation thing...Which means I gotta go in to get me school stuff and pictures done...Fun...

I'm going to send everyone a pic of the layout we'll have on stage, and where everyone is going to be.

No need for a practice today then.

RozenMaiden_Girl · « **Reply #104 on:** August 25, 2009, 03:10:37 pm »

on saur day we sould practice, then on sunday we should practice be for we go on.
We sould practice in the court yard or some thing like that...

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #105 on:** August 26, 2009, 12:17:25 pm »

^Agreed.

TurboSaiyanJason · « **Reply #106 on:** August 26, 2009, 12:55:02 pm »

The courtyard or courthouse square will be our battlefield, out room of spirit and time. Also I have a surprise addition to the surprise ending. (the crowd's surprise of course)

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #107 on:** August 26, 2009, 01:20:28 pm »

Ooooo! Sounds good. More than just the boot thing?

TurboSaiyanJason · « **Reply #108 on:** August 28, 2009, 03:40:14 pm »

Yes, call it wrapping to the surprise package.

Also I may end up having me ,Dark Link and "Zelda" say our lines on mics.

It would be funny if we could do wrestler quotes...*ebil thoughts for a future skit* Whatcha' gonna' do, when the largest arms in Japanese Animation, in Funimation entertainment, runs wild on you?!

sabata · « **Reply #109 on:** August 28, 2009, 10:58:36 pm »

what time is the skit registered. my grandparents have their anniversery. so i might not be in one of the days.

TurboSaiyanJason · « **Reply #110 on:** August 29, 2009, 09:12:25 pm »

They didn't say what spot we're in yet. But for sure it will be on Sunday. The pre-meet though is Saturday night.

sabata · « **Reply #111 on:** August 29, 2009, 09:14:34 pm »

okay. i think that the thing i have to go it is on saturday? idk. i might be skipping it though.........

TurboSaiyanJason · « **Reply #112 on:** August 30, 2009, 01:20:48 am »

Well I would like to practice a little before you head out, so we don't have to only do it on Sunday Morning at 8:00. Also announcement for my machine crew and fighters (reminding myself too), get a good night's sleep Saturday night. Friday and Sunday night you can be an insomniac. I'd rather not have stage ninjas take over for walking zombies.

Anyone coming to pre-reg and can show up for the con-sized epic rock-paper-scissors game I'd like to practice with, and even battle against.

RozenMaiden_Girl · « **Reply #113 on:** August 30, 2009, 02:16:30 pm »

On Friday the convention sized game is at 6:00 at waterfront park. While the players play out the game, we'll be training for the big event.
Also on Saturday from 4-5 in the courtyard.

soundninja12 · « **Reply #115 on:** August 31, 2009, 09:15:42 am »

ok, thanks.
YAY!
I'm so excited for this.

sabata · « **Reply #116 on:** August 31, 2009, 09:37:58 am »

THIS. WILL. BE. AWESOME! *kicks cat into giant pit* LOL ON THAT KITTY KAT

anyways i hope it doesn't rain on saturday. not because of the con or skit practice. but my grandparents anniversery will be at my house if it does rain. and if it doesn't. i can skip the party and have fun at kumo con. YAY
also, is there anything i should bring with me to the practice or skit besides myself? like some snacks and crap.

soundninja12 · « **Reply #117 on:** August 31, 2009, 10:11:22 am »

If it is necessary, I will have one of the pokemon use sunny day. That'll help, no?

Or, I can fly over as Botan and just jack you.

sabata · « **Reply #118 on:** August 31, 2009, 10:17:46 am »

that works yes. but in reality, we all know sunny day only lasts for so long.
anyways.......

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #119 on:** August 31, 2009, 09:57:50 pm »

I might actually be there day 0!!! I'll try and find you all!

TurboSaiyanJason · « **Reply #120 on:** September 01, 2009, 02:44:15 am »

I'll be hovering around as Red the ninja and Inuyasha on day 0. Both have red on, just Inu has white hair and maybe a big sword. And sabata, you get your wish for a "Finish Him!" moment. To witness a redonkyulous fatality of boot to the head. I've added the MK dude to the list of sounds.

sabata · « **Reply #121 on:** September 01, 2009, 02:51:36 am »

you mean the "FINISH HIM" thing? if so, then after we should also have the FATALITY! sound. lawl

RozenMaiden_Girl · « **Reply #122 on:** September 01, 2009, 05:40:39 pm »

when is practice?

sabata · « **Reply #123 on:** September 01, 2009, 06:05:13 pm »

by the way. the boot to the head thing, the person will have to have good aim.

TurboSaiyanJason · « **Reply #124 on:** September 01, 2009, 08:19:04 pm »

I found the "Finish Him!" voice but not the fatality one. The one I did find, was too quiet and poorly recorded. Because Zelda finishing Dark Link off was unexpected, the announcer will go "My goodness!" And the boot will be foam, but the thrower will be right behind Dark Link offstage. Even if it doesn't hit her/him in the face, it will still nail him in the upper region (head, face, chest). Also since he's only that close it doesn't need to be thrown very hard, even just a light pushing throw. If it ends up hitting low, then it's still a "boot to the head" Just only the crowd will know that, while our Dark Link will luckily be a girl and feel no pain. Though I'm going to ask and clarify if the "head" reference will be allowed or not. To be safe, aim high.

The first practice for us will be Friday, 6:00 PM down at waterfront park. The second one is going to be Saturday around 4:00 in the courtyard or Pioneer Courthouse Square, whichever is less crowded. The cosplay pre-meet runs from 9-10 Pm and on Sunday the tech walkthrough is 8:00 AM to 11:00.

RozenMaiden_Girl · « **Reply #126 on:** September 02, 2009, 02:19:39 pm »

I can only pratice the days of the con

TurboSaiyanJason · « **Reply #127 on:** September 03, 2009, 12:21:15 am »

Then I'll work the bugs out of our machine crew Friday and train Dark Link with them the next day.

sabata · « **Reply #128 on:** September 03, 2009, 12:27:22 am »

will there be a rocky training montage? that would be pimp. hey, so you got my number, so when we need to practice gimmie a ring.

TurboSaiyanJason · « **Reply #129 on:** September 03, 2009, 12:33:02 am »

I have speakers, a CD player, the Rocky IV soundtrack and a backpack to tote it all. First we'll run through the basic functions of each station, then chain them together slowly, throw out a random attack code from the script, then run through the whole battle thing step by step. We'll just pretend Dark Link is a ghost on Friday. But we will run through the practice again Saturday afternoon, again slow at first then work up to skit speed.

sabata · « **Reply #130 on:** September 03, 2009, 12:34:44 am »

cool. so this is on sunday correct?

Don't worry. Your role is one of the easier to cover for with stage ninjas. We will be practicing on Saturday so if you can meet in the courtyard from 4-5, then cool.

And yes the epic battle we've been training, er will train for is Sunday! Sunday! Sunday!

I love the variety we have. We have characters from the good old days, Characters that are new and popular, and characters that will never die down in popularity. I think we've got one from every time-zone

All the better to help the skit win or at least be great to watch.
I'll be a little late tonight. If I can't make it then the practice is at 4:00 tomorrow.

TurboSaiyanJason · « **Reply #140 on:** September 07, 2009, 02:30:54 am »

The smoke clears...many couldn't make the journey to the epic battle, but while I fell back home to gather my thoughts of the impending doom with no Dark link and Goku's cosplay unfinished, those that stayed behind banded together and unleashed the rematch of, since MEWcon, Red the Ninja and Rock Lee, complete with other Naruto distractions to enhance the hilarity. TvT I can't thank you enough.

Though we did not win, we succeeded where others might have given up. It may have been my skit to start with, but everyone else helped to make it happen. Those that couldn't show are forgiven. My original script will be saved for Sakuracon, with more time to practice and prepare.

We were in fact in the main events room in the basement level, and delayed. We were scheduled for 8:15, but were then AFTER the walk-on costumes. Our music/sound mix was mixed a little too well. We couldn't hear the sound effects over the song. Even so, my Goku cosplay would have looked sloppy and rushed, so would the skit if we used my original script. My Rock Lee cosplayer stepped in as my opponent and brought along her other Naruto cosplayers. And so they organized a backup skit that was MUCH simpler and twice as random and therefore, funnier.

I still want to do my original skit next year, with you as Dark Link again if you want, this time with more practice opportunities. I found that Sakuracon skits can only be 4 minutes long, so I'm thinking of running my Pocky War up there and seeing how it does. Now that I've been in a skit and seen others in action, I can better predict what is needed and how long preparing everything will take.

I'm sorry we couldn't find each other in time. Not many things went as planned this weekend for anyone, but we pressed on and live to tell the tale.

TurboSaiyanJason · « **Reply #145 on:** September 09, 2009, 09:34:19 pm »

I couldn't find my party that had my hotel key at Sakuracon, and lugged my luggage all around the convention center. That's why I promised myself to somehow get a cell phone. I'm glad I had one for Kumoricon or I might have given up on my floundering skit, or never got to meet up with my crew in the first place.

soundninja12 · « **Reply #146 on:** September 15, 2009, 04:37:53 pm »

You can not conceive how lost a person can get in that hotel, or how quickly the time can pass when you're hanging out with con friends. My god, I never realized how specifically I had to read the thread. I didn't know what was going on, I ended up getting there a crap load later than I thought, and then I realized that I still had sewing to do on my obi. So I convinced my mom in to sewing it, and went downstairs to look for you guys, no luck. Then I heard "KATIE" and I went and talked to people for a while.
Please, do not consider me irresponsible, I just am easily distracted.

TurboSaiyanJason · « **Reply #147 on:** September 15, 2009, 08:38:32 pm »

You weren't the only one with last minute sewing to be done on your cosplay. I worried myself all the way through day 0 and half of day 1, spending almost all night on the signs, which didn't help in the mornings either. When I thought that I had everything set, there was more left unfinished, including how to get a hold of my players and what to do if things went awry.

Once again my script demanded precise precision

...from all players, and left no room for error. Now I know that there should always be a cushion for a mishap to arise. My script was so stacked up that it was like playing Jenga on a rocking chair. The backup one that my players came up with used fewer blocks, but with random fireworks popping up in between. Next year's Pocky War will be smooth and cushioned and will rock the house!...er hotel.

soundninja12 · « **Reply #148 on:** September 17, 2009, 10:23:49 am »

Advice:
When you organize a skit, have everyone's phone number so you can arrange to meet them at a time when none of them have internet because you have to pay extra for it at the cursed hotel.

TurboSaiyanJason · « **Reply #149 on:** September 21, 2009, 01:39:54 am »

The only flaw in that plan, which couldn't be helped, was that my Dark Link did not have a cell on her to call or be called. I remember up at Sakuracon on day 1, I was lugging my stuff around waiting for my roomies to get through the long grueling line of registration mid-day, and didn't have a cell to call them with. So I promised myself that by K-con I'd have a working cell phone. At least it was useful on the way home, otherwise I wouldn't have known about the backup skit idea.

Another thing I failed to do, as well as have most of the stuff done weeks in advance, is determine what my backup plans were for problems. I was assuming that everything would go smooth and perfect and the tech crew had everything we needed. I didn't ask myself, what if some of my players didn't have a number to call? Where would they meet and what time? Do they have a map of the con on them? As far as my spotlight issue went, what if they didn't have a giant theater spot to use? Do I have a backup CD of the sounds and music each? A lot of questions I plan to have answered way before the next contest.

I'm planning on making a video of the original skit with a full game and youtube it. This way we can take as much time as we need in performance length, and the special effects would be done on computer while the players simply get recorded doing each separate phase of their attack instead of rushing and smooshing them all at once. While a much more organized contest version is planning on being done at Sakuracon.
