Hm... Yes... This might actually make sense.

See, like superheroes, TFS has mass appeal. They also have more "power" due to this mass market appeal, therefore, they can and will defeat us episodically. Sure, we'll have our wins that last a while, but, in the end, we all know that the heroes are always victorious. However, we all know that all the cool people in the world side with the "evil" characters, because evil is badass.

Therefore, I shall create a thread along these lines, just to show our nerdiness and evil identities.


Yeeees, and together everyone with abridging talent shall come together and we will take over the WORLD!!!

Now if we can just get that thread up we can discuss which Anime to parody...

The thread is here.

viewtopic.php?f=2&t=628

Just be clever and tell us how you are evil. Also, you need a badass picture: as previously mentioned, evil is badass. And there's all sorts of evil that flows around! And, there's so MUCH evil out there, that I'm going to have to ask you to not doppelgang anyone else's evil counterpart... unless your evil character is a doppelganger; if that is the case, then by all means, go for it.

I'll definitely try to make it. As soon as I work out the hotel situation, I'll let you know for sure. But as of now, I don't see why I wouldn't be able to make it. Money shouldn't be a problem, so there's no reason I couldn't. :D

Elf and I are considering attending. I think I'm almost certainly going. (With this many fun people concentrated into a single area it will probably be a blast. :lol: )

However, Elf or no, we won't be staying on location, so we can't help anybody with lodging.

Stop being evil for one weekend and come to Ohio! And bring George with you!

I know he's Irish, but surely you can cease your "Celtic Hunt" for a few days.

Oh, some small, tiny development has occurred.
It really isn't big. Rather inconsequential. But I figured I should mention it here anyways...

ADAMWESTSLAPDOG IS GOING!!!

... that is all.

Are we for sure, or is it just like "I'm thinking about it" ?

Either way, adding him to the list.

Spoiler: show
Hopefully this forces Hendrix and Unwardil's hands, and they take the plunge and say they're going as well.

No. It's for sure. He is going.

Hendrix is trying. He's leaning towards yes, I think. But you have to ask him... or rather, you have to annoy him to go.

Unwardil said "I don't like big groups, so this makes me not want to go" -- but he's just being a stupid fuddy-duddy. >:(

We should all annoy Unwardil to go. I want him there.

Also, George (ADAMWESTSLAPDOG) will be staying with Sam, Cage, and me. And unless Sam goes through with expanding the room where we four are staying, I think that might be our limit as to how many people we can contain.

Also, I hope we can have some lodging room for Hendrix. :<

I'm gonna call, probably tomorrow, and find out if I can expand the room. How much extra it'll cost. Et cetera.

If we can, then I'm happy to accommodate Hendrix.

I'm still feeling that a lot of people aren't planning ahead enough, or they're not letting me in on their plans for once they get here. I don't need exact detail or anything, but I'd like to have a good idea of who's coming and knows where they're staying.

REALLY don't want people showing up with nowhere to stay.

My opinion on the matter: if they show up without a place to stay, it's their own fault.

I'm sure these people have been to conventions before, and know the drill. We're all big boys and girls here.

My fear is "Well gee, you guys LIVE here. Surely you can hook us up/house us last minute, right?" and when we say no, it makes us come off as jerks.

But, you're right. All the same, I'd feel better knowing people were coming in prepared.

That, and it'll give us a better idea of who's ACTUALLY going. If you have a gameplan, you're probably far more likely to follow through with it.

Oh, no, whatever will we do? The Box of Danger crew? Our selfless, caring ways thrown into question?

Please.

As far as on my end, Grant, I'm certainly not expecting to stay with you guys.
From what I understand:

Nowacking is coming with her mom, and they have their own room.
Gahooly is also coming, and has already booked her own room.
I am coming, and have a room for Cage, Eze, and myself. George might crash with us -- therefore, I am going to call the hotel and see how much it'll be to expand the room. In doing so, I might be able to squeeze in Hendrix as well (if he will come; I will sleep on the floor, dude. I have no problem with that).

In any case, nobody is expecting to crash with you guys; at least not from what I understand. Everyone I talked to has their room arrangements set. Or at least will be set very shortly.

As far as people outside of those I mentioned -- say CountAbyss, for example -- I have no idea. But if they are expecting free boarding, they really should think again. I'm sure you'll be good hosts for everyone, but I hope nobody expects to abuse you in that regard. Surely they should understand that your family may take issue with internet folk bursting through their doors.

The only wildcard is Unwardil. Because of his work situation, he won't know for a while whether he can come or not. So with him matters get a bit tricky.

CountAbyss and Neochopstix are staying at my house. That's actually how this whole thing started.

But thanks for the info, Sam! Makes me feel a bit more confident about how well this thing's shaping up.

Alright, simple:

Anyone coming here for Ohayocon must arrange for a place to stay during the convention prior to arriving. The Box of Danger crew is not responsible for providing you with shelter for the weekend, nor are we obligated to help you find any.

Now if they arrive here and don't have a place to stay, we won't be jerks for refusing them shelter because we stated we wouldn't up front. :D

Google for hotels, call up friends, or visit the Ohayocon forums as there are always people looking to get rid of rooms, or add people to them. The Ohaycon website has any and all details you might need regarding hotels in the area. They Hyatt Regency, which is the hotel the convention center is connected to, is insanely nice and very hospitable to convention attendees from what I understand, and I have nothing but respect for them and the DM magic they invariably have to deal with during the weekend.

Feel free to use this thread and the PM system to organize groups for hotel rooms and whatnot.
