Youmacon announces a new chairman 2 months before their venue-less convention is supposed to start.Morgan is vaguely 'still involved' (meaning still owning and collecting profits). No word on his vice chair who co-founded Youmacon with him 20 years ago.What do we make of this? Are we being scammed?
Nah. Everyone's cool with Youmacon and everyone is going back like nothing ever happened
Their media department head potentially confirmed the venue about a few weeks ago. Not sure if this is true or not but we'll have to see later on.
>>10933229This has been known for a long while. They already had a contract with Huntington/TCF/Cobo for this year. Morgan would have escaped it long ago if he could.... but then where would they go? A stadium? A college campus somewhere? Also, the union there sucks and those people deserve to sleep outside in the cold when it's raining, next to the homeless dudes selling their CD mix tapes. Fucking union thieves.
Thread hasn't been posted to in nearly a week.Discord is all angry weebs yelling at the new guy running the con and talking about how much they hate Morgan.Con is 2 months away but no tickets have been sold.Won't even have a video game room this year. Con is dead y'all.
>>10933660new management likely made Youma staff change their minds regarding the game room.
What does Youmacon actually have this year?And how can you change chairs 3 months before a con? Is Morgan still running everything behind a puppet?
>>10934733they pulled the same stunt on us last year with tickets
Tickets on sale now.
first guest announcement
Over a week since the last post.Con's dead.Con's dead y'all.
>>10937290As if 4channers determine whether a con is alive or dead
318 days and no shipping refund on badges
>>10936755Only guest announcement lol
Very late on new guests but 6 other guests were announced. Those being Ricco Fajaro, Dawn Bennett, Allegra Clark, Britt Baron, John Bentley, and Kirk Thornton
>>10937290Anon just be thankful a con in the midwest hasn't exploded, please don't jinx this peace...
>>10937435>Over a week since the last post.>Con's dead.>Con's dead dead y'all.
>>10937290CGL is largely dead as every con basically has it's own discord now where you can often get instant answers to questions and avoid the BS drama this place so desperately trying to ignite. Like looking back at midwest threads it's fairly easy to see why this place isn't popular with the normies anymore. Like seriously what would you take of the two>thread on con>Random he/she said, BS you have no way to validate>any con questions largely being unanswered or at best told the obvious 'go look on the website/twitter'>GUYS DON'T GO TO THE CON THE OWNER IS LITERALLY THE WORST PERSON ON THE PLANET DON'T ASK HOW I KNOW I HEARD IT SOMEWHERE!>shitthatotallyhappened.txt>meetups are 50% troons and 50% totally the 'not gays' mid 20 to 30 year old dudes>vagueposting>wow I hated this and all of you! ... see you next yearor>Con run discord>staff are fags but that's every con, they at least answer questions>can find hotel rooms to share>info updated there as well as the site>drama posting usually bannedNot hard to see why this place is fucking dead
So what's the actual word on games? The page on their website only mentions the fighting game tournaments.

>>10939108No gundam dis yr, not interested
>>10939123honestly the Gundam VS. game was fun while it lasted at the con. It was team based but it took a bit to get used to the controls. I usually just fought off one opponent while my teammate did the same thing. Sometimes me or my teammate would intervene with my opponent when I was at low health. Hell, sometimes my teammates were cosplaying some of the characters from the franchise.
Huntington Place/Cobo Hall will have Hall A along with the 4th floor and the Congress Street entrance closed to attendees. That area will be a ballot collecting and processing site for the 2024 elections.
>>10940229 (me)here are the areas in particular if you don't know your way around the venue
a Japanese animator will be the final guest for Youmacon 2024
Great news. According to people who picked up their badges tonight, the lines are at normal levels. No major hiccups tonight. There were some minor ones but those were resolved.
Just got home. Game room is regressing back to COVID form, maid cafe is gone, and apparently they're not putting anything up on the guidebook app because they don't have the budget to curate it.I loved Youmacon and I am very sad.
Is Reisen gonna be here?
>>10940329>Con's dead.>Con's dead dead y'all.Really, they should just go back to the Dearborn hotel next to Fairlane mall. The con would fit in there no problem. Game room is smaller than when we were in there.
>>10940361That hotel has been abandoned for years. It's supposed to get torn down and rebuilt to apartments apparently.
>>10938183I'm just happy the constant Sydney spam stopped. I guess all those retards finally offed themselves or got banned.
anyone got a ouija board? trying to find the room parties
anyone else enjoy the panel full of black guys doing powerscale battles like the fucking rap battle from nine mile?
>>10940393That and the former owner of the hotel being involved in a pyramid scheme operating out of Canada and failing to keep up the maintenance on the hotel. The former owner was Xiao Hua Gong (aka. Edward Gong). What's more ironic is this guy ran for mayor of Toronto and Mississauga. Failed on both campaigns.
>>10940412Eight mile
>>10940464fuck... I've called it nine mile in front of a lot of people recently. god damnit
I went Saturday this year and had fun
