>>42948899Oh, and of course thank you for helping me with the announcement last thread!marecon shits on trotcon and /mlp/con with powerful ponuts, but sadly frenchAnon was french, simply unforgivable. This isn't Sparta! Where mare? There she is! HOWEVER, stallions SUCK!
>>42948899welp, time to put in for my days off and thinking of panel ideas
>>42948933you mean fillycon
Hello thread! I will not be at marecon this year.sincerely, frenchanon
>>42949468
Random Mare Appreciator here. I'd like to do another one of these, but I feel like last time it lacked some sort of a goal.I really liked how a bunch of drawfags came and drew the mares. Maybe it could be the main idea? We could do like 15 minute drawing challenges for each mare and then show the art on stream.What do you think? Do you have any ideas on how to improve the panel?
>>42949468Sacrebleu!>>42949704I'm a simple man, so just seeing a randomly selected pretty mare pop up on screen, hearing some trivia tidbits and/or coming up with lore of our own was perfectly good enough for me.Engaging the audience to draw is a nice idea. And while I am one of those very drawfags who should be drawing stuff during the cons, I am also a totally lazy bum. So it personally feels like relying on something uncertain.Making drawing the whole point could have a risk of fizzling out if some mare(s) gets very little art to show off. Maybe having the "do it if you want to" drawing going on in the audience while some other chill shit goes on on the stream might be a safer bet? Or maybe that's just my cowardice talking. Other anons might have better tips.
>>42949704i enjoyed drawing the mares last time, i think if you wanted more mare art id probably have a section of the stream as the mare square, so drawfags can have the reference pulled up while you scroll around the wikis and boorus. then the drawfags can post innathread for review or whatnot
>>42949468wtf marecon is DOA now let's just pack it up and wait for next year
>>42949468not even a panel stream or something?
guys I have terrible news... purp was in a horrible accident involving twilights fat ass and a sleeve of oreos so unless you clap your hands and say you believe in purp will all your heart there will be no marecon this year
Sup! Totally legit Purp here with a reminder that at fillycon the filly 'RAMs' (You)!
>>42952398I just bought a pc so I don't have to worry about this. Nice try golly.
>>4295202110 POINTS FOR TEAM DERPY!!!
>>42952398what a nice filly
>>42952398RAM AT REASONABLE PRICES?CUTE FILLY TOO?>And then 3 days later anon was found naked. >He did not stop crying and was moved to the asylum.
>>42953361My daughteru can do no wrong; clearly, that Anon is just a pussy.

>>42948899
>>42948899Purp could I get an elaboration on the Winter Wrap Up theme? Is that something just the HQ will be doing, or are panels encouraged to join in? How many points do we get if we match the theme?
I'm confident in saying there will be PonePuzzle Time panel at Marecon this year!There's already some discussion about it in the puzzle thread:>>42954905>>42955094>>42955883>>42956652Silly question but should I submit the panel now or wait until things are a bit more organized with the other anons?Anyway, working with other anons in this case is more about customization than actually running the panel, so...yeah, I'm new to these kinds of panels and to running panels in marecon
>>42944879 >>42944902 Nta but few videos recorded by him suck due to following reason: Chat overlay got unsynchronized with the videos during the panel until the end, and fell behind by about a hundred chats it had to be. I remember I've found the problem when mlpcon 2024 ended and still exists. I do appreciate the recorder anon, but really hope he address the problem this time. >> 42944884 For his replay, chat works fine, but streamed videos aren't synchronized on the contrary.
Kirincon!
>>42956940Recorder Anon here, I do what I can but CyTube has a tendency for the chat to randomly desync (as well as other random stuff happening in general). I will say that it does seem like it's gotten a bit better in recent years. I do try to frequently check on my recording equipment but I am unable to monitor 24/7 (and sometimes I get caught up watching the con myself). Many years ago I used to run redundant recordings on multiple computers but I've been a bit more paranoid about the number of simultaneous YouTube streams I have going ever since I got my IP banned from YouTube a while back I had to get a new IP. If that were to happen again it would ruin the con for both me and the recording. I've considered the possibility of looking into a userscript to regularly check if the smart scroll button becomes unchecked but never got around to it. And then I would also have to be on the lookout for any site changes. I always recommend that any Anons interested in a recording also make their own as well. And if there is an issue but all the pieces are available, I am no stranger to reconstructing things in a video editor.
I might not even be able to make it and have no experience hosting a panel, its over.
>>42957677>the smart scroll button becomes uncheckedDo we have a way to reproduce this reliably? I had a hunch it breaks with more people or messages sent during some short time frame, or maybe it was embedded images that break things too due to expanding the message elements vertically?
panel submitted bump
how would a jackbox panel work for an online con? asking for a friend
>>42958513probably a few different anons working together, keeping the shitposts mare related and whatnot
>>42958479I can already imagine how this is going to go kek, looking forward to it, the anonfilly CYOAs have been fun.
