/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

I don't want to miss the orgy, again

Oh cool two threads in one day about top priority events. Since the Midwest scene is enormous, I will surely bump into tons of them there, which is also a bad thing as this area has the worst drama of any I've ever come across. Last year's Midwest did absolutely nothing to invalidate that stance.

>mask and vax requirement shit
Pass, rather would throw this cash at colossal con especially after the staff shit surfaced. I could see the mask stuff if it was like this weekend or maybe first week of april but this late in the game is a bit silly. Even Cleveland Fan Expo pulled back the covid requirements.

>>10744768
They said that there is no metrics to change their requirements further. Since they’re having a Con for the first time in two years, I’ll give them a pass. If they’re requiring it in 2023 and the stage of the pandemic is less severe, then I’ll change my view

>>10744768
Funny how with no mandates to hide behind, ACEN outright says they don't care and just want to have masks anyway.

I hope I can make it this year, have some family stuff going on around that time
>>10744768
sorry to hear wearing a piece of fabric and medical routines are so difficult for you

>>10744812
>what do you mean you don't want to take 3 injections just to go to an anime con?

>>10744815
I'm sorry, I didn't realize there was a specific series of Anime Central brand injections that had to be taken in addition to those required for human interaction
do those come with a free Anime Midwest flyer?

>>10744815
umm... you only need one lol. the mask thing really sucks, but have to do it to be compliant with cook county regulations

>>10744812
It's not difficult but ACEN has really no redeeming qualities to justify doing a mask with cosplay at the point to warrant not simply waiting a week to go to Colossal Con. I get hat CC is more of a party venue for a convention, but given ACEN probably won't have any guests of note this year CC actually looks to be more viable for cosplayers who don't want to overheat or screw up their face and cosplay.

>>10744879
I mean other than Collosal just being a garbage pale of con when it comes to cosplay. Most elaborate cosplays look bad next to a pool or in the African themed hotel. Oh yeah there is also uh... Um... The scrub grass field next the villas? Yeah let's shot there like every other jack off.

Like I'm sorry Colossal, any of them, are entirely non serious cons.

>>10744920
An incel who doesn't get invited to parties typed this post

>>10744768
All of my recent projects have a helmet or mask as a part of them so I'm unbotheted by them sticking to their policies. I can't blame them for not shifting back and forth on their ruling to minimize confusion.

>>10744920
Hey anon, no cons are serious.

>>10744922
I remember my first beer

>>10744920
>Most elaborate cosplays look bad next to the pool or the African Themed Hotel.

Before you continue consider the following
>Warehouse Loading Bays used for Group Shoots
>Shoulder to Shoulder skywalk
>LE GLOWING ELEVATOR
>HOTEL LOBBY

The only thing Anime Central has redeemable about it right now is potentially the dealers hall and *maybe* Soap Bubble, but if you're going to complain about "serious cosplays" in the Midwest, just go do a private shoot or something dude. Both Anime Central and Colossalcon are party cons, don't kid yourself into thinking ACEN is anything different.

>>10744920
There was a very salty post about "not being able to find parties" at Colossal last year. When several people (including myself) scoffed at how ridiculous that is, the faggot just doubled down like "PFFF figures all the virgins would defend their shitty event. Not like I cared anyway BAKA." So most curious seeing this now.

>>10744938
i remember that. Literally how do you manage to not end up at a party at colossalcon of all fucking places.

Are there rhythm games at ACen? Asking for a friend... well multiple

>>10744920
>garbage pale
>pale
kek

>>10744920
Sir this is ACEN not an Anime Expo event...

CC is looking legitimately better because ACEN, while fun as it may be doesn't have really all that much going for it without oversea guests or guests that are willing to travel right now. If I'm going to a convention without the bonuses of that, I may as well go to a con where I can cut loose a bit.

> cosplays look bad next to a pool or in the African themed hotel.
Y-you know where ACEN is located right?

>>10745062
>Y-you know where ACEN is located right?
Yes, in a very affluent suburb in the Chicago Metropolitan area

>>10745064
>Chicago
30 minutes away from the city isn't Chicago. It's Rosemont. It has it's own name.

>>10745064
Just because it's by the big city doesn't instantly make it better. Rosemont and the event center is insanely bad to get any kind of pictures done that don't look like absolute ass half the time. Oh boy I sure can't wait to go do a shoot by the loading docks! because they require masks indoors, or how about that "park" or unkept forest wow.

ACEN is fun when it has a balance of guests, artists, and all that. Mask/vax mandate, without any official government mandate, is just excessive and enough to push me to Colossal con. Yeah the vendor hall is nice but that's not enough to redeem ACEN

>>10745150
Lol did you stop reading at Chicago or do you just not know what metropolitan area means?

>>10744753
any idea what the theme is this year?

Ah, it's the "I'm going to bitch about the mandate on an unmonitored, anonymous message board" posters again.

I don't give a shit about mandates or not but if you want to do something about it, go complain on their social media sites or something using an anonymous account. Stop circlejerking on CGL where it does nothing besides fill up threads.

>>10744812
You should stop responding, it just fills up the thread with more irrelevant posts

>>10744741
So the only events that are out are: https://www.acen.org/schedule-at-a-glance/, the meetups, and the drag show right? What's this "Anime Hell / Midnight Madness" thing?

>>10745194
My guess is either genshin or among us. What do you think?

>>10745198
>let's talk about ACEN
>NOOOOO STOP TALKING ABOUT THE ISSUES AROUND IT THAT COULD HINDER THE EXPERIENCE
The thing is there is no government or state mandate so that's why it's brought up. It sucks but it's going to be a integral part of the thread since it's so stupid at this point.

>>10745205
Yeah, but it doesn't really contribute anything to the thread. It's like how I think Ryan Kopf is a rapist but you don't see me spamming kopfcon threads about it.

>>10745205
Yeah but it doesn't really contribute to the thread in anyway. The "you should go to collosalcon instead" posts are fine but the rest is pointless. Anyways, this will be my last post on the topic so I don't shit up the thread even more.

>>10745215
I mean that's fine but it's a legitimate complaint given the con is acting on it's own here with this thing, I think it's more than fair to weigh it against other cons around the area. ACEN really is going to be mostly a market place given what it's looking to be lined up as. I wanted to go to this but the issues with masks in late may in cosplay is just a con killer.

>>10744991
in the before times, yes. no idea what they'll do post-plague
>>10745198
Anime Hell is a collection of clips of weird (mostly Japanese) commercials, tv, etc. There's some things they used to ritualistically show like Rejected and Segata Sanshirou. It's very different watching it in a big room packed with people sitting on the floor than watching on your own.
Midnight Madness is kind of an anime dub parody thing? To be honest I usually always leave after Hell.

>>10745172
Ah yes colossalcon, which always has an ass dealers, ass artist ally, ass game room and disorganized ass panels. I'll give you night swim. Night swim is fun. Look if your not past your mid 20's collosal is fine time. Go drink yourself stupid and be a sex pest to people you want to convince yourself they are of age. Not going to tell any 23 year old not to have a good time. That said as much of aparty con as ACEN is, it at least has the day/night time split. I'm sorry I'm old. I just have no desire I'm being black out for 4 days straight any more.

Not even going to address your strawman about shoot locations at ACEN.

I have confidence ACEN will get guests

I also don't get why anyone is stressed out about masks. They are going to give up enforcement by late Saturday morning. What are you worried about?

>>10745200
Amount us wave broke before cons really came back
>>10745172
I'm ready to smoke a fat blunt as sailor moon. Good on you Illinois

>>10745434
The other nice thing about Acen is that it has so much of a nightlife to it that doesn’t involve drinking. My friend group is all mid to late 20s and none of us like drinking at cons, but we still find a ton of stuff to do at night

>They are going to give up enforcement by late Saturday morning.
That’s what I’m hoping for. I mean there’s so many people, how would they even enforce it? Also don’t really want a mask fucking up my makeup. I already had to cut a cosplay because there’s no way the makeup would survive a mask

>>10745474
Even con durring the pandemic the day most people wore their masks for the most part. To be respectful and show they are serious people and all that. Then in the evening anarchy. Now with mask restrictions even loser i expect day time cosplays to give up earlier too

>>10745474
>all mid to late 20s and none of us like drinking at cons
Mines the total opposite with people getting drunk to the point of throwing up and passing out. How do I join the sober party room

>>10745474
>The other nice thing about Acen is that it has so much of a nightlife
First time acen goer here. What sort of nightlife is there?

>>10745512
I feel for you nonnie, that sounds rough. I got “lucky” in the sense that I happened to end up in a group of friends where half of us have trauma from alcoholic parents. A few people in the group have a drink here or there, but they don’t get drunk.

I hope your friends outgrow the blackout drunk lifestyle. You can try branching out at night to find others who aren’t drinking. Find a late night or 18+ panel with a long wait line and chat up the people around you. If you hit it off with them, ask if you can sit with them during the panel/hangout afterwards. If that goes well, exchange social media info

>>10745517
There are raves both Friday and Saturday night. Panels and viewing rooms are usually going throughout the entire night. Late night panels can be a mixed bag, sometimes they’re a great time, sometimes they’re cringe. If it’s cringe just wander into another panel room. The game room used to be open pretty late, but last Acen they had moved the game room from the Hyatt to the con center, so idk how late that goes anymore. Also some absolute freaks come out at night, so even just people watching in the Hyatt lobby can be entertaining

Hm, looks like a couple of rooms opened up at the Hyatt. Is it worth booking there instead of doing something for half the price 10 minutes drive away? Not sure how much of the con actually happens at the Hyatt.

>>10746279
Incredibly worth it.

>>10746279
definitely worth it. look at google street view, there's not much around the hotel itself other than the connected hotels and the fashion mall, mcdonalds is a common pilgrimage and even that's far. you'll definitely spend most of your time in that immediate vicinity unless you're taking a tourist day.
just uh, don't sleep naked if you plan on evacuating if the fire alarm goes off.

I have a friend attending a trade show at Donald E for work this month and there is no mask mandate being enforced. So it's clearly not the convention center forcing Acen to require masks. Still, l don't see how it can be enforced when you can go maskless in the hotel lobbies/common areas of the convention center. Especially when it's not in line with the state guidelines.

Like previous poster said, I'm not stressed about it. I honestly don't give a shit about most panels/guests so I spend a lot of time hanging out with friends in the hotels anyway.

>>10747270
ACEN seems pretty clear in saying its a personal decision they made, that nothing is forcing them to make any kind of restriction or mandate but that ACEN just wants to.

>>10747288
>>10747270

basically the rule of thumb is if you aren't required to have a badge to be somewhere then you don't have to wear your mask. if any con jannies give you trouble in places like the hotel lobbies or in the con center outside the vendor area / panel rooms you can pretty much tell them to pound sand. they have no way of knowing if you're even an attendee you could just say you're staying at the hotel for unrelated reasons or just laugh right in their faces

>>10746279
Please book and if you can room with others, make sure you vet them properly. I roomed with some terrible people in the past and 1 person can fuck up your entire stay. Like this idiot who tried to flush a nick of weed down the toiler STILL IN THE BAG.

There is genuinely no better way to experience Acen than being able to take the elevator to your room, piss/eat something, then go right back down.

>>10747315
Got a room for myself since I'm usually a light sleeper and do have the spare cash. A bit pricy though so I might only stay one night on Saturday and commute the rest but we'll see.

Anyone have a link to the Midwest Clg discord?

>>10747810
Might be risky to do this but here ya go

.gg/2dVm8gymWB

>>10747839
Thanks anon!

>>10745474
only do makeup on the top half of your face, easy

>>10747917
Bitch I got photoshoots to do

Is there a tranny privacy invasion problem at ACen? Last time I went to a con I kept seeing men in the women’s bathroom. I should have mentioned it to hotel staff but I just assumed (rightly or not) that they wouldn’t give a fuck

>>10747986
And unless you're on the con floor doing them, you aren't required to mask, so what are you whinging about?

>>10748494
Because having to go back to the hotel room before/after every shoot to put on/take makeup off is obnoxious

>>10744741
I'm not a woman but I have a friend who's coming down that has her own room who you might be able to stay with. Our whole party is staying at The Rose by Hilton spread out across a few rooms. If you're in the midwest con goers disc try pinging figgyjam. Idk if she'll want a roommate but she's cool so you may as well ask her, as far as I know she has a room to herself.

>>10744920
Wow, I bet you're a ton of fun at parties anon.

>>10747315
>>10747775
I live pretty local, like 20 minutes away. Never really thought it'd be worth since I'm not a huge drinker so I don't know if a room would really be worth when I can just go to my car or something for the same thing. Then again ACEN is about to be my first Solo con, so idk.

How do I find a place to crash Friday or Saturday night without Someone trying to fuck my :/ worried cause Im a cute trap & will be drunk and by myself and don’t wanna end up rooming with a creep u know :/

>>10750392
Post bussy or go back to >>reddit

>>10750394
Fine now pls help me find a place to sleep where I won’t get raped :/

>>10750400
Huh, dunno what I expected. Well I dunno what you expected either, I think there's an ACEN discord group you can find on google that has roomshare requests. You can try there or just get a place for yourself if you don't want to get culturally enriched while in Chicago.

>>10750400
Wash your hair or get a wig

>>10750400
You don't have to worry about rape, you'll be fine.

>>10750410

>>10750417

>>10750435
You're literally asking for this desu. It tends to happen when people call themselves "cute"

>>10750400
you can room with me but I can't make any promises and you have to wash your bussy daily, I don't wanna smell you

>>10750435
>I didn’t get compliments on my trashy photo and now I’m upset that people aren’t as obsessed with me as I am with myself >w<

>>10750400
Taking photos like that you don't have to worry about anyone wanting to touch you. That shit made me nauseous just imagining the smell.

Is there a heavy sex scene here or something? All I've been seeing are horny posts

>>10751336
I hope not, cause this thread just makes me think there's nothing but cringe crossplayers obsessed with themselves.

>>10751336
First party con, anon?

>>10751342
We'll see!
>>10751343
Are party cons usually like this? What other ones are there?

This is like my 2nd con ever so I'm new to all this

If I bring a ton of joints, am not a sperg, and have decent cosplay. How good are my chances of making friends and getting invited to parties?

Fucking JEJ

>>10751497
is this the bussy destroyer?

>>10751345
Just join the Midwest Con Goers discord and ask around, like half the anons in this thread are already there. But from my understanding yes, ACEN has a lively "room party" scene. Can't say I've ever personally stepped into it though.

>>10745198
>Site sources for why vaccines/masks are ineffective and or dangerous on normie-media to change brands mind
>perma-banned for sharing “disinformation”
Ok anon

>>10751345
>nothing but cringe cosplayers obsessed with themselves
Well, it IS the Midwest scene.
Anyways, there is quite the room party crowd but you gotta know where to look. Be sure to make friends during the day so come nightfall you'll have connections to where the party's at.

Also it's Chicago so don't be shocked if people are getting up to shit harder than alcohol and weed. You might run into a nutter off their ass on god knows what so keep your wits about you

>>10751713
I lived here my whole life, I know there are plenty of coke heads, heroin addicts, and fuckos with fentanyl and shit. But good to know the plan to just be chill during the day and make friends wont be a wasted effort. I don't suppose /cgl/ actually tries anything themselves just because of people like >>10750400

>>10751736
Ftr /cgl/ is known for being the land of bait so try not to take any silly or outlandish posts you see too seriously.

Why is this thread so fucking slow? ACEN's only a month away.

>>10754394
neutered vaxpass mask cons never get much hype

>>10754435
Pretty much this. I’m a little hyped because Acen has always been one of my favorite cons and I’m excited to cosplay with friends again, but goddamn the mandatory mask policy is bumming me out. They already require you to be vaccinated and get a wristband after proving it, so I don’t see why we also need to wear a fucking mask when we’re all vaxxed. Hoping that staff is going to be super lax on enforcing that

>>10754660
As far as I know all that's required now is a negative test within three days prior.

>>10754665
You need the test within 72 hours or be fully vaxxed, then you still need to get a wristband and wear a mask. The proof of vaccine or negative test makes sense to me, but the masking seems like overkill

>>10754660
Because you are a retarded sheep who thought that accepting the societal pressure and getting vaxxed would finally end the 2 weeks to flatten the curve and go back to normal. You are going to die within 5 years just like all the other MRNA test subjects. Good riddance faggot. I hope they bury you with a mask and your vaxx bracelet on.

>>10749216
op here, thanks for the offer. i have a place over weekend nights but i dont have one thursday... so im still interested!! is there an active inv link i can use to join server?

i hope we can become friends at acen anons!! ! and my friends from the last acen i hope i can see you again ! i am 23 now so that means this is my first con that i can party without having to leave the con and i am super excited and i hope i find some room parties with my bestfriend

>>10754727
>flatten the curve
this never meant anything other than crisis management

>>10754668
Right, but what I'm saying is a negative test really isn't hard to get done. It's literally as simple as going, shoving something up your nose for a few seconds, and then getting a slip of paper from the clinic.

I also have a fake vaxx pass if I need it.

No, actually it's because the event owners are self-righteous scum and love bowing to the crowd of cowards too afraid to look at their own shadows. Hence why actual venues now all say "masks optional" but the staff demand test, jab and muzzle. Also

You guys hear about this moonway guy? I hear he has a huge dick and is really handsome.

>>10756555
>>10756551
The what?

>>10756575

>>10756574
why would anyone here give a shit about how he looks or what he's packing? go stroke your ego somewhere else

>>10756595
i can think of a few reasons (you are gay)

>>10756269
See>>10756512

Some retard Astolfo femboy cosplayer brought a loaded gun into Anime STL last weekend. Said same cosplayer ended up having a melty over losing his phone while drunk at the con and claimed he had a gun and that he'd kill himself if he didn't find his phone. Turns out he really did have a gun on him at the con. Retard posted himself posing with it (in one of the con bathrooms at STL) to his snapchat feed>>10756512


Rumor has it that he was involved in a bunch of other scumbag activities at the con which included exposing himself to urinate in front of everyone in front of the con center (in broad daylight) with plenty of children around, along with urinating into the con center fountain. Shame about the discord. He's currently in there and the mods don't seem to care even though it seems to have been brought to their attention. Seems they enjoy harboring a predator. Sad!

If you see a tall Astolfo/Femboy cosplayer walking around the con, run! Do not walk!

>>10756524
>>10756569
Tf does that look like? It's a holstered gun you retards!

>>10756713
I think he bounced from the server or is just keeping quiet after his shit got called out.

>>10756713
Isn’t Reisen related to that Arby troon?

>>10756512
>man legally carries concealed gun at convention
THE SHOCK AND HORROR
only government institutions such as schools courthouses etc are actually illegal to carry a weapon at, retarded private businesses can not declare it illegal to carry a gun on premises, they can only ask you to leave if they catch you with one. Seethe

>>10756734
IIRC there was animosity between them and even Arby called Reisen out on his (alleged) bullshit. But I guess this is what you get when you make a 4chan based cosplay discord, you end up with a grab bag of schizos, perverts, and weirdos.

>>10756498
Proof on the pedo rapist stuff?

>>10756736
>Legally

>retard gets wasted and threatens to kill himself with the loaded firearm he brought with him

I don't think whether or not he had the legal right to have a gun on him is the concern here

>>10756736
Concealed carry while drunk isn't legal
Concealed carry without a license isn't legal
Stop trying to be a sovereign citizen retard

>>10756752
not that poster but MO doesn't require a license (IL does)

>Midwest server
Everybody carrying on as usual
>Acen thread
Biggest tism storm of the year (so far)

Sasusa, /cgl/-kun... Betting good money right now everyone's gonna act like they're 100% a-ok with each in person too. And then when someone inevitably gets mad over retarded garbage, they'll wait till it's over to start back up here again. It's whatever, man. I'll just be around, keep on keepin' on.

>>10756756
fucking fag lmao

>>10756756

>>10756736
2A fan here with a concealed weapons permit. I NEVER carry when drinking, especially not at a fucking con. That behavior is retarded and indefensible.

>>10756476
If this is the thing your hung up on enough to post about it incessantly in a 4chan thread. This is what you're talking time out of your day to do it, it really puts the tell on the lie that you're going to actually "enjoy yourself". You hate people and being social. You're letting something as a gay a con guideline ruin your time before the event has even happened.

>>10756476
No one is too scared to go out, vaccines and wearing a mask is a mild inconvenience at most for the protection it gives, and definitely not worth having a melty over because you want to rebel like a 5 year old.

>>10756840
>The protection it is
Ah yeah, the vaccine that doesn't actually prevent transmission or infection and necessitates regular boosters. Sounds legit to me.

>>10756841
You could have just said you were a retard and saved the time it took to type all that shit.

what's that smell

>>10756844
no rebuttal of his points?

>>10756848
I thought about it but then I realized someone has probably corrected you about shit like every vaccine needs boosters to be effective, and it's been shown by over 150 countries with independent research to be effective in reducing infection, severity, and spread
Or that it's been administered billions of times with no significant occurence of side effects after 2 years
So then I just call you a retarded faggot because if you're stupid enough to actually believe in some global Jewish conspiracy or whatever it is you picked up off /pol/, you're too stupid to be reasoned with

>>10756752
Yeah take that >>10756753 faggot, stop freaking out about someone having a GuN aT a CoN

>>10756853
You are retarded and coping. You falsely believe that the vaccines and masks help protect against the covid pandemic. The fact that you have a tantrum like a little retard baby and can't handle the conversation around the shortcomings of vaccines and masks proves how retarded and gay you really are, and should not be allowed to be alive.

>>10756738
He got arrested at CAD 2017 for groping an underaged female cosplayer at the rave. Got off with a slap on the wrist

>>10756853
God you're an insufferable faggot, just stay home with three masks on your face and some Fauci r34 on your pc.

Hi reisen

>>10756880
Reisen is a psychopath. Stay away

Hey guys what's going on in this thread is everyone excited for AC-

Oh...

my bussy is rdy

Back to something slightly more on topic, I'm super close to finishing my main prop for my cosplay. Been working on it for about 6 months! By far the most ambitious prop yet.

>>10756857
Not that anon, but the main concerning part to me is that he was not only drinking with a loaded weapon but he had little enough control that he was talking about killing himself with said weapon when he couldn't find his phone if this anon >>10756713 is to be believed.


If he has so little control while drinking, there's no way in hell I would trust him with a concealed gun while drunk.

>>10757034
Even if he was "joking" or "trolling" that's still some weird shit that I don't think anyone want's to tolerate.

>>10757044
Yeah, rather not be in the literal crossfire if he's drunk enough and he or his conversation partner starts shit.

how's everyone's cosplays coming along? looks like I'll be working on mine down to the last minute

moonway, burger king rei, korobka are not to be trusted, they are fucking retarded and a threat to society. do not interact with them.

>>10757154
y

>>10757154
I wouldn't trust anyone in a cgl discord at all.
They're just full of poltards and incels thinking cgl is an easy way to get laid.
The only benefit is watching people have meltdowns over things most people can handle with no problem

>>10757164
who are you

Sup, nurds. Will be doing Cliff from Death Stranding. Hope to see you all there. Hoping the weather is nice as well

>>10757164
Which is funny cuz I never see anyone actually asking to hookup or flirting/simping on there.

Won't deny a bunch of adult weebs not being able to handle some minor drama though. People get a bug up their ass and try to make it a whole server's problem.

>>10757199
what's the bussy situation like on that server? might have to join

>>10757214
Only ones I can think of that would unironically say they have a bussy would be (unfortunately) Reisen and Marles...and maybe Deku if he ever comes out of his egg.

>>10757155
Kurobka attempted to rape someone at Colossal last year

>>10757256
Actual rape or the fake "rape" that retarded liberals talk about?

>>10757066
I may be in the same boat as you. Ordered some supplies online and I’m not sure when exactly they’re going to arrive. I’m regretting not working on any cosplays throughout the pandemic

>>10757172
Compass gonna be lookin fresh af.

>>10757164
Literally none of what you just described happens on the disc except occasional /pol/ memes in the shitposting channel.

>>10757002
that's a nice fishbones

>>10757261
actual

>>10757379
sounds like wishful thinking. look, if you want him to smash your bussy just ask politely

>>10757231
I see how Deku be eyeing them traps up and randomly DMing them.

>>10757384
Stop getting parties shut down because you got rejected.

>>10757386
Deku the type of retard to talk about "traditional marriage" and how gay people's existence is worse than the holocaust are then masturbate to traps

How bad will the lines be for the Hololive panels?

>>10758214
...probably pretty bad....?

>>10756926
I'm genuinely afraid to look at the thread.

I used to go to meet ups all the time but holy shit has /cgl/ been plugged full of insufferable incels that probably say /pol/ shit in public.

>>10758301
>I'm genuinely afraid to look at the thread.
you're the one that sounds like the insufferable incel

>>10758324
Why do I feel like I've seen this response copy-pasted at least 10 times in the last month

Hm, are there many people at the con on Thursday? I'm just an hour drive away so if there's anything interesting, I might as well drop by for a bit. Otherwise, lining up for autograph tickets is kinda meh.

>>10758412
Haven't been to a Thursday at acen, but usually Thursdays are just a registration booth and not much else. I don't know if people really hang out there the only time I've ever gone is just to pre-register

No but I'm saving up for midwest

>>10758412

My group checks-in to our hotel on Thursday every year. We go get a nice dinner before the weekend starts, walk around to get a feel for that year's layout, and then either chill out at one of the hotel bars or someone's room. There are a good amount of people around doing the same thing. No official events happening and not a lot of cosplayers, but I quite like Thursday - there's a general buzz of excitement along with the anticipation for the weekend to come.

If you're going solo, ymmv, but there's definitely opportunity to meet people and hangout.

Looks like guidebook is out. Some guest announcements are still TBD though.

>>10758527
Ah, was wondering if there was any more.
Appreciate it

>>10758762
Guidebook has such a terrible layout I'll just look through the actual physical schedule sheets when they're handed out

>>10758851
lol, they probably don't hand those out anymore

>>10758851
I downloaded the app and immediately regretted it when trying to navigate that piece of shit.

>>10758529
Hello sir. I would like to do this so called chilling with others Thursday night of ACEN. Please provide your Discord name so I may apply to hangout.

>>10759108
join the server doofus
>>10756082

>>10759113
I'm sorry. But I'm shy. I am trying to break out of my shell and make friends. As I do not have many close ones. Who would you be on the Discord?

>>10758214
We're you at Youma for the one there? Probably even worse than that.

>>10756911
hopefully he stays away if he knows what's good for him

If covid-19 is so bad don't hold conventions. If your normal and not a fascist just don't worry about. If you go to a convention under communist guidelines you part of the problem or antifa.

>>10759874
Brother there's been a mask policy in place since the start of conventions lmao

What’s everyone most looking forward to?

I think I’m most excited about doing photoshoots with my friends. I got into some new anime during the pandemic so it would be nice to meet some other cosplayers from the same series too

>>10759995
The meetups and the formal dance. Maybe some of the "how to cosplay" panels and the humor/improv stuff.

>>10759995
I am going to mating press baelz and make the holobronies watch me

>>10759874
If you don't want to wear a mask then stop bitching and just don't go, faggot.

heard this con has prime bussy, any truth to the rumors?

>>10760065
>formal dance
That reminds me! Rosemont usually seems to host prom the same weekend as Acen and I always thought it was funny to see the interactions between the prom teens and cosplayers

>>10759995
I signed up for the formal dance, fortunately my cosplay just happens to involve a suit. Unfortunately I don't know how to dance and I have no idea if anyone else in my group signed up.

>>10760096
>Unfortunately I don't know how to dance and I have no idea if anyone else in my group signed up.
They usually have lessons and desu I would say that a decent chunk of people don't have partners and get matched at the beginning of the lessons. Just don't be a creep and you'll be fine.

>>10760096
Do you really need to sign up? Every other con just lets you walk in if you're dressed right.

>>10760134
They charge you $15 for the dance unfortunately. I assume it's to cover for the instructor + the extra staff or something.

I really hope someone cosplays this to trigger all the /pol/dditors.

>>10760442
I don't get it, qrd?

>>10760452
The character's name is The Mask.

Alright lads, hit me up with the prop gun policy. Website says a zip tie to disable moving parts, which I know what they mean, but my prop is deactivated airsoft gun with no moving parts except a removable mag.

>>10760641
My guess is that means to disable moving parts if there are any. It sounds like what you need is just a zip tie somewhere and an orange tip I think

>>10752108
hey, i'm not an autist, definitely know how to have fun without being a jerk...would love to get some inside info about good parties at acen. delta5#7753

Why would anyone from /pol/ give a shit about a "The Mask" cosplay?

>>10760641
You cosplaying someone from GFL?

>>10744928
WT Snacks, nigger!

Looking forward to it being less crowded thanks to peeps who don't want to wear a mask or show proof of vaccination.

>>10761271
we'll still be there

>>10760772
Nah, I'm a visitor from /k/ throwing together a cheap prop gun and some shit I had in my basement.

>>10761278
Can't wait to see all you special snowflakes out and about!

>>10761271
that's only for walking through badge areas, not everything else
they couldn't even enforce no smoking in lines that wrap around outside

>>10761399
I can't wait to watch what, 200 staffers try and enforce a mask mandate on 30k+ people? All the same I did purchase some masks that are thematic for my cosplay so for the 10 minutes I wear them I'll still look good.

>>10761534
Right, there's so many people complaining about it but how the hell are they going to enforce it. I'm pretty sure Midwest last year had a mask mandate and I went and it was like maybe 5 to 10% of people were actually wearing them not counting people with like cosplay masks

it's pretty funny seeing the social elitism within anime cons lmao, accidentally clicked on this board. everyone has to look down on someone, huh?

>>10761271
Genuinely upset I missed smol Katsu this year. I don't think acen is going to be noticably smaller.

Did you finish your cosplay yet, anon?

>>10761885
no >:)

>>10761733
My dude it's just luck. Sure there are things you can do to better your chances but it's ultimately just luck.

You're the type of guy who if there was a mass shooting at the grocery store you were at would credit their survival on the fact you were wearing your Adidas Ultraboosts that day so you were able to run a little faster instead of the obvious fact that it was just luck that lead to you not being shot.

did acen's formal get good? I remember it being basically a club dance that I had to waste time getting fancied up for last time I went

niggerniggernigger

WT SNACKS IS BACK AT ACEN!!!

Where the fuck is "Hall F"? Their map with no key isn't horribly helpful

And they completely folded.

ACen Discord is hilarious right now. Mods have stated this was allegedly not a choice by ACen staff and they aren't able to offer refunds or rollover at this time and you have people posting the most performative message of "I only intended to go because I felt safe with the vaccine and mask requirement and I am now unable to go."

I can't count how many times I've seen the same person say "literally telling immunocompromized people to die"

>>10761271
AHAHAHAHAHAHA

Cope and seeth motherfuckers! COPE. AND. SEETH.

YEAR OF THE CHUD LETSFUCKINGGOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

>>10762782
Who's fault is it then?
This is why you never say things with finalizing authority, always comes back to bite you in the ass. Especially with Covid, the situation has been changing constantly for 2 years but you want to make your statements definative???

>>10762780
The working theory is that since convention center security belongs to the con center not ACEN and IRT was disbanded they functionally never had an enforcement mechanism. Which is fine whatever but why the song and dance about enforcement then? Unless this is a hair braided scheme to have their cake and eat it too?

>>10762793
We're Americans were all some degree of CHUD

damn, seems like all the prime bussy won't be coming now because of the news. such a sad day, I would have worn a condom over my head if it would make them feel safer

>>10762780
Wonder who really said what. Acen staff seems insistent it wasn't their call. Makes me wonder if the Convention Center pushed it on them. Or threatened not to host the con next year if they kept the mandate.

Honestly not too thrilled, but only because of all the seething it's creating. Although it is pretty shitty that ACen said that there wouldn't be any last minute pivot from the mandate. But at least I don't have to hide my mustache for my two mustache sporting costumes. Hooray.

>>10762804
>>10762812

If it was not ACen’s fault they they should be at least offering refunds or rolling badges to the following year, but they aren’t.

>>10762817
Probably because regardless of whoever's fault it is, ACen doesn't want to take the fall for every individual negatively impacted by this change rather than letting each person just lose money individually. They are a business, not your friend.

>>10762817
>>10762818
Honesty would have effected profits and ACEN lost two years of business due to covid. They are betting on people blowing a lot of hot air. Yeah they are angry but where else are they going to go? Anime Midwest who doesn't even care enough to give lip service? This is a class big business gamble.

>>10762834
Since we're by and large past the point of no return for hotel refunds? Probably nothing.

>>10762817
Have you considered people could just stop being limp dick cowards and go anyway?

>>10762839
I'm not even sure you could get out of a flight ticket at this point.

Wondering if people who got screwed into either going or eating the a big financial decision are going to show up and just start wrecking the place to hurt Acen and the Con center.

>>10762842
That doesn't help with any of the logistics of getting a room, or time off, ect ect if your local sure you can pop in but anyone else it's exceedingly difficult to just plan a con in 4 days.

>>10762852
Nah he means the rest of the people who aren’t complaining. Which is probably going to be the case.

It's amazing how many people just don't know anything about regulations, rules and contracts speaking with absolute positivity that they know exactly what happened, who is lying, and who's fault this is.

Possibly faked but from an ACen Discord member claiming to have just quite the ACen staff today. Assuming this is copied from a real email and is truthful information, it appears that ACen is no longer able to enforce mask or vaccine mandates due to lack of support. This support may have been previously promised and removed on short notice, or ACen staff may have known about this beforehand.

>>10762871
who gives a fuck

>>10762872
People talking in this thread wondering what happened, perhaps? Good job showing how cripplingly autistic you are to not even be able to imagine someone being curious or bored enough to watch this nonsense.

>>10762873
Solipsism is a hell of a drug (and very common)

>>10762873
imagine being so gay that you care about things like this
what are you, a woman?

opkwas#5763

>>10762875
Imagine never wondering why anything happens. Just real knuckle dragger vibes.

>fags on Twitter seething about the mask mandate being lifted
If they're so worried about spreading the weakest variant of the virus then why even risk going in the first place? It's all performative. They don't really care about who gets sick or who's vaccinated or whatever, they just want the most eyes on them with a shiny gold badge that says "I'm progressive" even though they're going to an event where they'll be shoulder to shoulder with thousands of people, something they'd seethe at if it was any other event

Are we allowed to walk around with our entire ass out now?

>>10762804
wtf do you mean IRT is disbanded?

>>10762918
>It's another "tranny getting mad when he sees what a real woman looks like" episode

>>10762861
welcome to 4chan, newfag.

>>10762918
Is this your first ever con nonnie? Literally every con has cosplays like that

>>10756498
lmao the gun guy was Reisen?
>>10756862
>>10756868
All of that, the crime and the penalty, is extremely common for Jews

>>10762915
And how were the people whining about the mandates doing any differently? Instead of getting a "progressive" badge they get an "I suck Elon's cock" badge. One group being smaller than the other doesn't make it any less performative.

If I see any of you doing this I will actually give you a wedgie.

>>10762915
I went into the ACEN discord. It was full of seething autistic mask people, I could have sworn my Dr Pepper turned into a onions latte from just reading their comments.

>>10762993
>If you're not with me you're against me
Retard mindset. I don't give a shit about what some fucking billionaire ledditor has to say.
I think the people who are whining about this mandate are Grade-A retards. If you cared that much about not spreading the virus then you wouldn't go to an event with tens of thousands of people

>>10762626
He's a creep but at least he's vaxxed and waxxed ... Ladies

>>10763004
Like you could even give anyone a wedgie.

>>10762851
Would be based desu

Could u wear a tailplug under a dress at Acen without getting called out/kicked out lmfao

>>10763038
im calling you out for being a weeaboo

>>10763038
If I see this I'm going to yank it out

>>10763066
Don't
That would classify as sexual assault or battery in most states

Is it easy to find dick to suck at cons if you dress like a whore?

>>10763094
Just remember to be upfront to people about it and you'll find surrounded with them

>>10762918
This is nothing new and honestly quite tame compared to some of the thot cosplay and rave attire I've seen there before. During the height of Naruto fandom every budding costhot was doing Sexy Jutsu Naruto and the skimpiest one I saw was a girl in a white micro bikini with cotton balls attached to the top and bottom to mimic the clouds. Like if you were close enough you could see labia peeking out the sides. Some ham planet as Raven is really nothing to gawk at.

>>10763012
But how else would they be able to virtue signal AND buy their cheap chinese knockoff Fumos?

When are retards ever going to move on from their gayass magic masks and shots?

>>10763094
Have a place to do it, and be direct about it. If they're in a group try to catch them when they're heading to the bathroom or something. Keep an eye out for the guy whipping out his phone too.

The amount of seething on the official discord is hilarious.

>>10762780
Why would they fold to the pro Trump Virus lobby days before the con?
They're just inviting bad PR when the con becomes a super spreader event and they just threw out the one thing they could point to to say they tried to stop it.
But that's ACEN, they are always retarded

>>10763167
Bets on what time slow mode will go back on? People are going to definitely start deliberately stirring shit again.

>>10762993
>they get an "I suck Elon's cock" badge.
So they're conservatives now.

>>10763170
Friend says 6 hours. They also hid the mods.

>>10763169
What if it doesn’t become a “super spreader event” and everything’s fine

>>10762626
Who?

>>10763169
>Why would they fold to the pro Trump Virus lobby days before the con?
Going from the leaked announcements, it sounds like they failed to confirm that security was available/willing to enforce the vaccination requirement so they just said fuck it and got rid of it all together.

Basically, somebody fucked up and somebody else forgot to double check until 3 days before the con when it was too late to do anything about it.

>>10763184
>Expecting logic from someone who unironically refers to the "Trump Virus lobby"

>>10763189
So whatever lawsuit from the loss of income could be documented as "Negligence on behalf of ACen." Fun.

Not to be retarded but how do I find blow at Acen
Usually my friends just give it to me but I’m on my own this year :(

>>10763184
So you're just reckless, got it.
But hey, if you want to get the Trump Virus, more power to you. Just don't be selfish and infect everyone else.

>>10763189
>Going from the leaked announcements, it sounds like they failed to confirm that security was available/willing to enforce the vaccination requirement.
Sounds ACEN tier retarded, just have people show their vaccine card when they pick up their badge. If they don't show it, they don't get the badge. How hard could that have been to enforce?

>>10763199
Have a local friend. You're probably fucked this year.

>>10763200
You need training and enough staff to deal with the tards who freak out when you say masks or vaccines required

>>10763200

That's where you use convention security, and degree of separation if the problem is vaccine enforcement.
When some retard starts chimp out in he reg line, they can be ejected from the con for that.

Nice projection, go on a diet.

>Convention security
Con center pulled their security staff out and said they wouldn't take the risk of dealing with pissed off anti vaxxers and anti maskers
Acen doesn't pay their volunteers enough to deal with it either

>>10763221
Yeah if the leak is true it's not just that the con center staff pulled out, it sounds like they pulled out almost as recently as the announcement. In an ideal world, that staffing would be replaced with 3rd party security, but that's a whole other set of steps to take in 4 days.

>>10763225
Just use the police then, they just need them around registration and they'd only need to respond to any anti-vaxxer who gets belligerent.

>>10763225
Don't they already use 3rd party security for the raves?

>>10763225
No one wants to take the risk of dealing with belligerent potentially violent people upset about mask policies
Especially after someone brought a fucking LOADED GUN to anime St Louis I don't honestly blame them

>>10763230
I'm not sure. I'm rarely attending raves at conventions. If so, extending the work rented from that company may be easier, but still possibly an issue on such short notice

>>10763228
LMAO do you know how expensive it is to hire police for an event? This is just flat out not a viable option.

>>10763236
You clearly don't since any major con already hires them for traffic control and to patrol the con during the night. It would hit their bottom line to rent them out longer, but it's a much better option than what they're doing right now.

>>10763233
Raves are almost never handed by con volunteers because you always have to deal with drug dealers, people praying on the underage and sneaking in alcohol. Plus, you have to deal with people just trying to sneak in, a while ago there was someone who sucker punched a staffer after being told to leave because he didn't have a badge. Fun stuff.

>>10763228
>they'd only need to respond to any anti-vaxxer who gets belligerent.
Said while the Acen server is melting down with cowards such as yourself about them creating "super spreader" events. But I would expect nothing less from your type

>>10763252
Uh you realize the number of officers needed to patrol the dealers hall at night and the number of officers required to stand at every entry point the entire weekend to check vax cards and then additional officers to roam inside and yell at people for not wearing masks is vastly different right?

Hired officers have rules around hours worked, overtime, etc. It would cost thousands more, so much more it is not an option.

BTW I thought all the lib vax lovers were part of the defund the cops movement? You cool with cops now that you want them to enforce your police state?

>>10763303
Do you think the police work for hugs and kittens? You have to pay them to cover your event my dude.

>>10763228
But I thought according to the Chicago scene, and most of the types of weebs that are Acen attendees that cops were bad? Or are they only good/ok when they are enforcing things that YOU want?

>>10763252
Ah yes, the 6 or so traffic cops vs the bare minimum of 2 dozen or more to canvas the convention center and the hyatt for masks & masks.

>>10763316
Dont try to argue with them on this. They think in their utopia of "free everything" literally every working class person will be willing to give up their time, effort and health/safety for the good of the cause.

>>10763252
>You clearly don't since any major con already hires them for traffic control and to patrol the con during the night.
Officers typically charge above their standard rate for events (since it's not a recurring gig) so you're looking at 50-60 an hour.
2 cops per entrance
At least 3 entrances (for Acen, probably double that to handle the size, but let's lowball)
So 6 on duty cops per hour just for covid checks
360 an hour
Times what.. 40 hours across the weekend?
$14,400 extra
That's a hefty bill, even for a big show.

>>10763228
Who do you think makes up the police?

>>10763260
Libs love cops. Who do you think protects their neighbors?

>>10763352
>Cops
>Working class
Their main job is to harass the work class...

Police as con security is beyond retard. First con to have murder bc some trigger happy cop got nervous when saw a black Dante cosplayer with a prop gun. Especially the CPD the department that had literal black sites.

>All this over planning and wasted cost.
You just need several cops at registration to enforce vaccines cards o get a badge. After that, if someone wants to flaunt mask policy they can be dealt with by the con.

But I see some of the others want to distract from common sense solutions.
