>>43413342First samefagging for PONK
Dude, Mare Fair, lmaoOnly 23 days away and Im freaking tf out.
Normie con
When is poker night, I want to win
>have you been making your plushie outfits yet, anon?remember to stop by the /mppp/ plushie pageant and show off your fillies and mares!Remember, anyone can attend, from the big lifesizes with beautiful dresses to the little green meanies with cardboard robot armor!(to the anon who offered to give us some items and hand them out to anonfilly specific winners, we will gladly take them! let us know a way to contact you and we will swoop on over to collect them at the con.)
Two nights of concerts. That's new.Unrelated, but I I hope that the schedule for Sunday is more packed than in years past. It always sucks when Sunday is just a couple boring morning panels, and then 4 hours of auction, and then con is over
RIP Mare FairLong live the Corpulent King.
>>43413404If there's a poker night I'd be interested

>>43413342Nobody who actually likes ponies gives a fuck about your shitty con.
This musician roster outside of ElectroKaplosion and Sound Bandit sucks.

WHERE IS THE WEDDING PANEL SIGN UP
>>43413858Wait there’s a dedicated poker event? When? Do I need to sign up?

All according to keikaku.
>>43414380>I just can't help but to wave tranny flags at the conventions. I just have to!
>>43414412Tranny flags arent banned tho
>>43413858Its Disney rules. Sorry. >>43414307There is no poker. All gambling is banned.
>>43414380MARE
>>43414361lmao, Strawberry reported me for telling him to put his money where his mouth is. Pussy.
Rarity's Chariot (Or Rariot) is still planned to go forward.Thursday: 1+ so far plus anyone that wants to hop in when I arrive at the airport and the Cope Van isn't there.Pickup spot: Same as Cope Van. Outside Arrivals Terminal A, A11, floor 2.Hours are Thursday from 8:30 am - 10 pm (0830-2200) with some breaks for lunch and dinner.Maybe I can do Wednesday night. Depending on how I feel when I arrive.
>>43414731>RariotI dont get it
>>43414731I already have a ride, though, because both my roomies are from Florida and one of the two is driving the other to pick me up. So I won’t be needing a ride from a Cope Van or a Rarity’s Chariot. So don’t worry about me, but maybe some others might not be like me, though.
I'm still waiting to find out if the Kayou event panels will be combined or not, haven't gotten an email yet still.
>>43414760Oh wait, I forgot, my one roommate is not actually American, but he is here on a student visa, so what I said about him being here is still true. Not sure when he’s returning to his home country, but I might be visiting him and going to a Pony con there.
>>43414552I think you mean that PUBLIC gambling is banned
>>43414891You gambling addicts are worse than the Aryfags. Why cant you understand that we need to follow the venue's rules if were going to continue having mare fairs.
>>43414760He wasn't asking you bro
>>43414964You mean Rarity or Cope Van?
>>43414645>Connigger making shit up againCare to share what you're vagueposting about?
>>43414986When I told you that I better see you actually trying to take down the con while it's happening instead of just seething in the thread. You know, being proactive instead of a complacemt normie.
>>43415002Like I said, you're just making shit up again.I've been banned several times for alluding to the destruction of the venue. It was probably one of your asshurt connigger buddies having a melty in a discord server. I didn't report your post faggot.
>>43414986https://desuarchive.org/mlp/thread/43413342/
>>43415009Come to Mare Fair.
>>43415015This. Friendship is magic :D
>>43413342I just realized how fucked up Soriee and Matinee are in that pic and now I can't unsee it.What the fuck is going on with their rear legs?
>>43415009>I didn't report your postSure, bud. You're a totally innocent little victim. Such a poor little baby. So sad, so terrible.
>>43414132>intentionally omitting something you don't likeyou're no archivistyou're no better than derpibooru
Who do you all predict as the mystery musician? Will it be SGAP? Will it be The Living Tombstone? Will it be Daniel Ingram? Will it be all of the above?
>>43415037It's you GollyFag. You're the mystery musician!
>>43415037Rick Astley.
>>43415038
>>43415032I didn't report your post retard. Reread that until it gets through your thick skull. I won't be repeating myself again.
>>43415048>I won't be repeating myself again.So much for never lying.
>>43415048Are you a real person, StarberryTranny? It’s hard for me to imagine someone actually getting as fucking triggered over NOTHING as you always all the time do.I think* (read: “know”) that you’re just lashing out about feeling too autistic to attend the con and are angry at the idea of others having fun. But we’d still be willing to welcome you if you decided that you actually believe in friendship.(Note: You can never, ever be a true Pony fan EVER if you don’t try to make some friends. Real Pony fans believe in the messages of the kino era of the show.)
>>43415063>Pretending not to understand things Ding!
>>43415002I was actually the one who did that last night and am not strawberryfriend
>>43415066Honestly I imagine youre correct, but Ive also subscribed to the conspiracy that there is a combination of both dedicated shitposters and givernment agents unintentionally working together to kill off fandoms, because there are a suspiciously growing number of people in fandoms, usually under the age of 25 but over 18, who shit talk any form of fandom gatherings and go out of their way to derail fandom discussions. This bizzare obsessive hateful behavior isnt just limited to /mlp/ or even 4chan.
>>43413342>>>43415099>Honestly I imagine youre correct, but Ive also subscribed to the conspiracy that there is a combination of both dedicated shitposters and givernment agents unintentionally working together to kill off fandoms, because there are a suspiciously growing number of people in fandoms>usually under the age of 25 but over 18, who shit talk any form of fandom gatherings>who shit talk any form of fandom gatherings>fandom gatheringsWhat planet are you from where the chinz are not asocial and actually aspire to be normalfags? "fandom gatherings" are cringe. Cringeworthy and sad, because they show you have no time to dedicate anything to the board and (you) just want a space to jerk each other off (you cannot refute this)
>>43414552Take your (You) and fuck off. There's a charity poker game that is happening.
>>43415122>https://desuarchive.org/mlp/thread/43332039/#q43333075Mare Fair WON!!!! You are LOSING!
>>43415134It sounds like it’s cancelled. I was warning them that the plans for it didn’t appear to be legal under Florida laws. I’m guessing a lawyer told them the same thing. So strip poker it is!
>>43415136>>https://desuarchive.org/mlp/thread/43332039/#q43333075HOW DID I MISS THIS THREAD?NO WONDER THE SHITPOSTER IS PISSING INTO THE WIND LIKE A JACKASS, HE GOT FUCKING BTFO'D!!!
>>43415134You will also be banned from all future Mare Fairs
>>43415136>>43415143>thinking this changes a single DAMN THINGYou can 'roll le dice' as much as you frickin' want you frickin' normgroidsHave a ball. I'm not going anywhere.
>>43415170>>thinking this changes a single DAMN THING>You can 'roll le dice' as much as you frickin' want you frickin' normgroids>Have a ball. I'm not going anywhere.
>>43415099>Nobody could possible dislike mare fair>It HAS to be a government conspiracyI just wanted to post about ponies. You want to post about eceleb drama. Surely you can figure out why someone wouldn't like mare fair because of that.
>>43415170
>>43415170Have a taste of your own medicine.
>>43415140It's not cancelled >t. playing in it>>43415167You're trying so hard to larp as Corp with that Twilight flag, no one is believing you
>>43415122>
>>43415180>I just wanted to post about ponies.Yet instead, you spend all your time posting about a con that you hate.>>43415189>no one is believing youI am. I’ll check the schedule when it comes out to see, but otherwise, I think it’s maybe him maybe. Maybe.
>time to do my usual event spamMare Fair Kennedy Space Center/Nasapone Mission 3: Mission to Mares TripHello hello there,Once again just going to be posting the info for the sign ups to this years mission. I have sent out email invoices to everyone that has signed up so far so please do check your inboxes or your spam folders.My usual Group Sales Representative at KSC is actually winding up to retire on the 15th. So I do need the majority of sign ups and payments to be made by then please.There are a mix of familiar names and a lot of new folks too. So it will be good to see you all and we all can have a bit of fun.>sign-ups are herehttps://forms.gle/afKw29GgRpg6XSAZ8
>>43415176>>43415181>>43415184>>43415191
>>43415196Alright. You done?
>>43414244I appreciate your excitement and autism>>43415194Hello helloHere is the form for the Waifu Wedding. I swear this time the panel will be done on more than just three hours sleepExcited to be doing this again and happy to see all the happy couples on stage.>sign-ups are herehttps://forms.gle/iTUt6zKT5iQHVdHWA>sign-ups end August 20th
>>43415202>Bootleg Brigands Raid on Medieval TimesMight as well make a form for this as well to just gauge some interest. We need about 15 folks at a minimum to get a grouping, at the moment there are nine of us.>sign-up form for interest herehttps://forms.gle/D4DEqYnFPEi4BqUD6>sign-ups end August 13th Need time to make the booking and send invoices
>>43415196
>>43415189>NoOoOo! You dont understand. I HAVE to play poker. Literal Arynigger mindset. I will fucking report you to staff myself. Were not losing another venue becaus you retards cant stop yourself from gambling or pointing guns all over the place.
As for the Cigar Meet and Whiskey Meet.>Cigar MeetThursday the 27th at around 8:15pm>Whiskey MeetSaturday at...some point mid afternoon Just needing to have some panel times 100% confirmed first
>>43415213It is approved by Snowpity staff you retard.There's no money prizes: just the collectors poker chips and spot prizes. All the money is going to charity
>>43415219See, now this is just petty. I hope (You) realize how immature and unironically niggerdly this is.
>>43415214I liked the Cigar Meetup at NeighCon that didn’t actually end up having any cigars. Any chance this one will be like that? I almost avoided it, but I didn’t have much else to do, so I went and it ended up being awesome, cuz of no smoking. Maybe every Cigar Meet and just be a No Cigar Cigar Meet from now on.
>>43415218I think that was cancelled. I looked into Florida’s gambling laws and it sure didn’t sound like the argument that “It’s just for chips” was going to fly. It’s still something you’re paying for that you either win more of or loose all of. But we’ll see if it’s on the schedule. Or if any tripfags wanna tell us, then that would be fine too.
>>43414765Completely unrelated panel but I'm also still waiting for any word about mine.
>>43415218There is no gambling approved by staff. Gambling is banned.
>>43415246Is strip poker (in a private area) still allowed?
>>43415254>Is strip poker (in a private area) still allowed?>
>>43415254No
>>43415237>>43415246Still going as of this week you retards.https://x.com/OutisTheBatPony/status/2084052479532990651/photo/1
Nothing is allowed. All side events are against the rules from both the staff and Disney.
>>43415270
>>43415275I told him this is banned. It's getting shut down.
>>43415275Not anymore I am filing a report to the Florida Gaming Control Commission
>>43415285And who are (You)? Post a trip or give a relevant name since you want to be Con Cop so much?
>>43415277Incorrect. Pride flags and fursuits are allowed
>>43415298But those are not side events that is the MAIN ATTRACTION
>>43415294They’re either Corp or they’re pretending to be Corp. He’s, like, the head of the con. I think it’s really him.
>>43415294It's obviously Hoover again
Speaking of Musicians being announced. has anyone else found the music box yet?
>>43415309Hi 15! Is Hoover forgetting rent again this month? What a shame he lives in your head rent free so much ^:)
>>43415140Holly misinformation.>It’s cancelledIt's not.>it didn’t appear to be legal under Florida lawsIt is legal. What is illegal is gambling with real money without a proper permit—that's why you were shut down in that thread to offer an actual prize.Pony customized chips and decks will be available for purchase by everyone, whether they want to play or not. The profits from those sales will go to the horses.
>>43415320I wish I had your confidence in making idiotic statements.
>>43415326>What is illegal is gambling with real moneyGambling for things is also illegal. Souvenir poker chips are things.
>right from the horses mouth Florida Commission Site Individuals can legally host, or attend, private recreational poker games or dominoes provided that: (i) players are at least 18 years of age; (ii) no one makes a profit from the running of the game, and (iii) the winnings of any player in a single hand, round, or game do not exceed $10.So it's all more than okay and having a unique fundraiser like this is awesome in my option
>>43415363No. Its banned. Dont undermine me.
>>43415363>the winnings of any player in a single hand, round, or game do not exceed $10.Exactly. I think this is to be read as monetary value of the winnings. I assume all those chips together are going to amount to far beyond $10.
I have flaggot exhaustion
>>43415374I trust the Redheart flaggot more than you Con Cop
>>43415380You’re in the wrong thread then.
>>43415375You donated to a charity and received items as thanks. What you do with the items afterwards is your own doing.
>>43415375You donate money to charity. For every $10 you get a chip of your choosing. The chips themselves hold no valueWink wink, nudge nudge. Get the hint
>>43415363This is true, but still not quite relevant because poker does not equal to gambling by itself. Gambling is consider so when>there's a fee to enterYou won't need to pay to play. Chips will be lended to people who wants to play for the love of the game.>there's a prize involved based on gamblingNo prize. You would need to give back the chips you were lended. You can use the customized chips, but that's up to you.The sale of customized chips and deks is completely optional, and an excuse to get money for the charity. The only profit would come from the sales themselves (which are covered by a vending permit). That's it.
>>43415390I think it’s gonna still be recorded as a sale. Oh, fuck! That reminds me that I didn’t write off the $600 that I donated at Ciderfest for my badge! Fuck!!! I wonder how much I lost from that.>>43415405I dunno if that will fly.>>43415408Corp, can you confirm?
>>43415408>>43415415Idk how many times I have to say its banned
>>43415440Are you really Corp? Post your plushie.
>>43415408You idiot this is the same argument that Aryanne is not really Aryanne without the swatika. It won't work.
>>43415415>>43415440>>43415443So it's gollyfag false flagging. That makes sense with all the faggotry.
we got the musicians, we got the vendors, drop the panel schedule already
>>43415456It’s not even in my writing style.
>>43415308Im probably over sharing but Im in a bad mood. Corp is busy with filling out the required 5000 permits just to move a single chair, and redirecting all the merchandise and other packages because some retarded delivery drivers are too lazy to move boxes. This isnt corp in the thread. -t. One of the leads.
>>43415510Okay. Does that mean we can do strip poker then?
>>43415516In your room, yes.
>>43415499Schedule coming soon. Stay tuned on X. >>43415510I'm the real Corp Brony
>>43415520What about in somebody else’s room if they invite me?>>43415527>Stay tuned on X.No. I’ll stay tuned on 4chan.>I'm the real Corp BronyHi, Corp. Twilight is worst pony. No offense.
>>43415533The con has no control your freaky behavior in your room, so feel free to strip eachother all you want golly.
>>43415558He's probably going to be a tease and chicken out again
>>43415533Gollyfag, is it true you like Misty and wanted to make a meetup?
>>43415662
>>43415667Are you actually planning on something?
>>43415767Just meeting up and talking about her if anyone’s interested. Maybe we can get some ponycorn too! ;)
When are jannies going to give these blatant shill threads the boot?
>>43415308It's not me
>>43414952First off, IDGAF about gambling, I'm just a shit-stirrerSecondly, I'm also one of those aryfags
If the two niggers on the left are around again this year and still haven't found a room yet, I am offering the same arrangement again. I will be in Thursday and out Monday morning again. Just let me know when you will be around if interested.>>43413636Like the other Anon I would like a pick up around 12:30 on Thursday
Current cope van status:Tuesday: 2 copersWednesday: 14 copersThursday: 18 copersPickup spot: outside Arrivals Terminal A, A11, floor 2.Preliminary service hours (with some flexibility)Tuesday Hopefully, 10:30 pm -12 am (22-24)Wednesday 9 am - 12 am (09 - 24), some supply runs to Walmart (or similar) during the day.Thursday from 10 am - 4 pm (10-16) and 5 - 6pm (17-18) and 7 pm (19).>>43404793This is 4:10 pm, right?>>43413849>>43416045Noted, I'll assume you mean 12:30pm (12:30) and not 12:30am (00:30)
>>43416071Note this
Obligatory annual question: How's overall attendance looking like this year?
>>43414760Glimmy god isnt a person
Gollyfag needs to be kidnapped by transphobic florida people and never seen again
I was genuinely surprised seeing trannies at prior marefairs. I thought trannies were banned in Florida? Or they at least didn't exist or go there?
>>43416230>Normies love lgbt slop>Mare fair is a normie meetup
>>43416176True. He’s a GOD.
>>43416071Landing Thurs at 3pm, hopefully would get to curb by 3:30
Not the Catholic Mass organizer anon, but this is the reminder we'll have a Mass at >0800 at the>Basilica of the National Shrine of Mary, Queen of the Universe.I'd suggest we form up at 0730; We don't have to rush since the drive is approximately 10 mins, and parking seems plentiful the last time.
>>43416230Trannies love they mare flair
>Religious gatheringNever beating the normalfag allegations
>>43416071I'm lading Thursday at 10:50am.
>>43416264Noted>>43416334Noted
>>43416295Sir, we worship mares here.
>>43415312THERE IS NO MUSIC BOX!
>>43413392>
>>43416071I'll be landing Thursday around 1:45pm so hoping to get my bag and be ready by 2:30
>>43413342What's up with Soiree and Matinee in the image? They look odd.
>>43416071Thursday at 4:00 PM over here. It's okay if you can't pick me up, I'm not opposed to riding the Rariot.
>>43415925Gut
>>43416403They always look odd because they're shit ocs.
What if instead of OCs, Mare Fair just instead only exclusively used the official characters and dared Hasbro to sue, but Hasbro couldn’t figure out how because they replaced all their lawyers with AI, and thusly, all of the Mane Six, plus all of the “My Little Pony” franchise in general was immediately declared to be inarguably in the public domain due to Hasbro’s refusal to protect their own copyright?
>>43416426Ser gut
>>43413404STAY TUNED FOR MARE FAIRS SCHEDULE DROP!
>>43416494Today?
>>43413602Apparently though I highly doubt it'll be any good
>>43416494outnis shemo
>>43413342SEXSEX WITH MARESMAAAAAAAAARRES
Asking for shits and giggles, but if I bring a beyblade x stadium and some gear would anyone else bring theirs?
>>43416775No.
can't believe 4efb isn't coming...might just cancel my ticket desu
>>43416895>NOOOO NOT MY HECKIN ECELEB
>>43416895The MARES got to him.
>>43416895The Mares weren't enough for you?what are you gay?
>>43413342I'm not so sure how I feel about two concerts. I honestly kinda liked Friday being dedicated to panels and vendor hall and whatever other activities there are.
>>43417063I don’t want two concerts either. It’s a really bad idea, I think. Also, explain how it makes sense when last year’s theme was “battle of the bands,” and only had one night of music, but this year’s is fantasy but has two nights. Explain that. Make that make sense. You can’t! So ergo, no. There should NOT be two nights of it!!!
>Banned ponies before they banned fursuitsWhy do """Anons""" run defense for this con again?
>>43417077What do you mean by this? You keep spamming this, but mares were everywhere last year. I forget if I saw any fursuits or not, DESU. I did at NeighCon.
>>43417063>>43417068Then just watch the concerts for 1 night you retards
>>43417083I will, but I still stand by what I said. And plus, even though Glimmy is similar to me in not really caring for live music (thank God!!!), there’s still a decent amount of people I might be seeing who are obsessed with that shit, so by having way too much music, the con is depriving me of hanging out with them. But yes, Glimmy is pretty based about that as well. I’ll see some of the music that interests me, including the mystery one and Sound Bandit, but not much else. But my point still remains. If it were any of the previous cons I’ve been to, three nights would kill all my joy about the con altogether.
>>43417092Oh yeah, I guess it’s two not three. I dunno why I said that. But my point remains regardless.
>>43417081There were 5 in total, a Zephyr Breeze, a Kirin, a Zigger, that "change my mind" whatever that was, and a minotaur during closing maremonies.
unless you count those Thots in the chinesium masks
>>43416775Not me, but a friend of mine would love to play some beyblade. He'll be bringing his gear.
Is it too late to just add all the second night musicians to the first night roster? That could be possible, right?
>>43417354Noted.
>>43413636Different anon, but will be coming in at 4:10 PM on Thursday as well.If you've got room during the 5-6 PM runs, it would be very appreciated.
>>43415275Oh hey that's my Twitter account! :3c
I hate normies so much it's unreal
>>43416775Bring several beyblade set ups and one stadium, set it up somewhere near the flow of people but not in the way. Get some cheap gimmicks like a fuck load of random blindbag ponies or something and battle people for them.
>*riiiiing*Yes, hello. Is this Mare Fair?It is?Okay then...>*clears throat*FUCK YOU MARE FAIR!!!!>*click*
>>43417461wtff
>>43416895Is he being a fag again, or is he just budgeting and busy? His recent song parody would be eaten up by this crowd.
>>43418363what did you do? call sombra ugly?
HUGE UPDATEthey gave me Thursday off!!!this means i can come in early on thursday.is going to marefair and getting to the hotel on thursdays, the day before the con starts worth it?i mainly just got the day off because i would work so late i would have gotten there mid day friday.also, because i found out i could make it so late i didn't get to book a hotel on the designated block so i will likely be far away from everyone else sadly.this is my first time flying, any advice from marefair fags? i already have a passport and everything that's unexpired and what not, i only need to bring my carry on luggage. any advice for sleeping on the plane? i've somewhat mastered car sleeping, is it much different?i'm really fucking nervous for this so sorry for the spam.
>>43418541It's absolutely worth being there on Thursday. There's many events, in an official and unofficial capacity, such as the NASA trip and movie night that are held that day. You should check the event calendar somewhere in this thread to see what you may be able to attend if that be something you're interested in. It's also a great time to wander around the convention center to see where everything is so that it's easier to navigate for the next couple of days.Thursday is also a good day for meeting new people since everyone is excited for the official opening the next day. You may be able to befriend someone (or some group) to hang out with during MF. If not, then you at least got to meet someone new.I also wouldn't be too sad about being outside of the hotel block, you may have saved yourself from potentially noisy neighbors.For the plane, get a neck pillow or something to support your head as well as some earplugs or noise-cancelling headphones as you never know who you may sit nearby. But it's not really that much different from sleeping in a car in my experience.Don't be nervous, anon. You've got this.
>>43418541there are some of us that arrive on fuckin Monday brobut yeah, arriving early, even if just so you have a full day of rest before the con, is worth every penny. especially if this is like the one event you do every year.Get yourself Etymonic earplugs, ER20, they are about 20USD. Useful for the plane and the concerts. And get yourself a sleep mask, cuz the ones airlines provide suck.

How is this even remotely fantasy themed? This looks like the mascots are performing at a contemporary Greek or Italian restaurant, nothing about this scene is remotely fantastical. And where the fuck are their cutie marks? Did they age regress to foalhood while maintaining their adult figures? Shitty forced theme that the artists couldn't even fully commit to, what a joke.
>>43421176The fantasy is that mare fair attendees actually like pony.
>>43421176its great art so everything you said is invalidated
>>43421176Fuck ass theme, I want my Prohibition.
>Road to El Dorado parody>Mulan parody>next video's thumbnail teaser is the mascots on a rollercoasterOh come on. Even if we got a Prohibition theme, they'd ignore it. Themes don't work because they're not paid workers managed by a visionary, they're fan artists at the whims of their own relaxed circle preferences. At this point I think they should say their permanent theme is carnivals and musicals and be done with it. They've always got the the showmanship of suit and tie anon at fancy parties, and their namesakes fair coasters representing the ride never ending.>>43421176To be fair, they did a better job on the site's theme than previous years, and they did get medieval times as a tie in event. Most people didn't even know last year's theme was battle of the bands, and the art deco one before that was subtle enough to go over people's heads.
>>43421271The ads have never been in theme, aside from year 1's loosely defined "worlds fair" which was really just a broad fair theme, so I don't know why you would expect thatAnother Day of Mares had a very quick shot from Kokobiel alluding to the "battle of the bands" theme, and that was it
>>43421214>bootleggers swapped for aryannefags>anontheanon wearing a fedora & 3-piece suit>the Great Depression cleverly referencing G6I dig it.
Why do cons need a theme? I thought the theme was mares. Isn’t that enough?
>>43421316no, we need fillies also.
>>43421324Butt of course!
>>43421280One might expect it because in their surveys, they asked about perception of their theme. If a significant amount of people are voting "There was a theme?!" then they might've been motivated to do something about it, if that was the question's intent. And why would at least one yearly promotional ad not be in theme? It's an odd choice.
>>43421335That would certainly apply to the con theming, and the website is more or less awash in fantasy stuff. But it really has no bearing on the ads, which are between-cons interstitials and would be, by their nature, less themed than the con itself.
If there is going to be a theme, I personally think fantasy was a bad one. I agree with the anons saying prohibition too. It’s fitting as well, since we keep getting kicked out of every venue, it’s almost like mares are illegal and we’re meeting up in the mare speakeasy. (With the REALLY good shit in Salon 13. LOL!)Outside of that, another theme could be Dr. Seuss books, Biblical times, re-writing the canon (and therefore becoming canon), summer camp (because if G6 isn’t going to do it then you have to), and shitty games (AVGN/old school YouTube where everyone was an AVGN clone).
Another theme idea could be early 2000s technology. Ban all smartphones from the premises (and if someone happens to have a family that would become worried by them not answering their phones, too bad), and only allow in things like iPod Classics, GameBoys, CRT TVs, VHS/DVD players (specifically the old school bargain ones where they were together would be the best), and consoles such as the GameCube and PS2. Technology from EARLIER than this 2000s era is permitted, because obviously, in the past, you could still use things from even earlier in the past. But the cutoff date for technology is 2006. Also, any panels being recorded must be filmed on a camcorder in 480p and preferably 4:3.
Another theme idea could be “stinky smellies and smelly stinkies.” Armpits, farts, hoof/foot stink, body odor, sweat socks, etc. And all the OC ponies would be themized in such as that in the official imageworks.Or another theme instead could maybe be “The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie.” We all watch “The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie.” Or time travel could be another one (specifically based around “Back to the Future”) or maybe instead the theme could be the End of the World, since our chances of dying in a hurricane seem to increase each year, and it’s kinda undeniable that dying is like one’s personal end of the world. So if all of us are at risk, then it’s like truly apocalyptic from our perspective. You could take this in different directions, have the OCs as prophets, or crazy schizos, or just make them dead because they died from the Apocalypse, or put them in robes and in Heaven, or being tortured in Hell because they were sinners. Also, there could be a mystery game to discover the identity of the AntiFaust who will bring about the Pony Apocalypse. Is it Haber? Is it McCarthy? Is it Hasbro? Was it G5? Is it G6? Find the clues by deciphering the mysteries of the Pony Book of Revelation!
>>43421419I hope I don't get cockblocked out of Salon 13 just because I'm staffing -c-
>>43421432>>43421446The good news is that there's a whole year to try and make those ideas not shit
>>43421455What if the theme was literal shit (as in scat). We could even have it in the sewer, which is appropriate, because pretty soon we’ll be banned from all hospitable locations in the state of Florida.
>>434214322000s could make for a really neat theme, ponies with rawr xd makeup and stylized manes would make me go full diamonds.
>>43415208What's the expected price range for this?
>>43421402I'd be more willing to agree if last year's opening and ending animations didn't forget they had a theme entirely, lol.>>43421462Please, the 90s is hard enough. I'm not ready to feel that old.
>>43421462The current irony poisoning would make people call it just a "reddit fair" eve more for all the>EPIC WINRAR OVER 9000 INTERNETS!!
>>43421045And this guy's going to Mare Fair?? Doesn't he know that Mare Fair is a con full of people who absolutely would fuck a tranny on sight??
>>43421497Mare Fair is too irony poisoned, in my opinion. It’s part of why I liked Ciderfest most last year. (Yeah, it’s a normie con, but I was still a weirdo freak. So what of it?) At least I could tell that all the people there were genuine fans. I might think that the vast majority of the show that they’re fans of is total dogshit that ruined what the show was always supposed to be, but I don’t have to worry that they’re just poser losers.And that’s an impression that I get way too much from Mare Fair. The retarded “Mares! Mares! Mares!” chant, the windmills, the desecration of a mare’s right to not be sexually exploited in public, the lack of references to the actual show, the Anon masks, etc.—it all makes me think that the majority of people there are NOT fans of Pony and just think that being sexually attracted to horses makes them cool.It’s hipster shit. Let’s call it what it is; it’s hipster shit. You guys remember hipsters, right? Weirdo faggots that dressed in ugly clothes and ate disgusting food. Remember? Why did they wear those big glasses and hats, and grow their beards like that, and eat crappy food? They did it because they thought that by being so uncool, there’d be a 180 effect and that would make them cool. And it seems to me like the majority of Mare Fair goers are the same. Trying to be as repulsive as possible in order to be “cool.” I like genuine freaks and weirdos, not fakers. Shouting “Mares! Mares! Mares!” is the ultimate sign of being a fake fan!!!Anyway, I’m still going and I’m nervouscited for it, but I’m just termed off by the irony poisoned vibe. It’s against the spirit of the show. I call anyone who engages in that type of thing a fake fan, because what made FiM so refreshing early on was how genuine it was. Didn’t you notice that when all the characters started talking like Joss Whedon characters, and when Discord became a meme spouting faggot, and when the show started being “meta” and “self-aware,” that it IMMEDIATELY took a nose dive into the diarrhetic shitpool?Please, no Tamers, no Anons, no “mares” chants, no self-referential crap, just PLEASE! Actual mares and Pony ONLY. Please?This might be my last time here if it’s too ironic and not genuine. I’m not spending hundreds of dollars on a convention that only exists as a joke. Let’s PLEASE have unironic fun. Okay?
>>43421497to be fair there are a LOT of obnoxious trannies LARPing the early 2000s right now.
>>43421465From the implication he needs the minimum to get a quote first.
>>43421538Also, about the sexual degradation thing, I really feel like it’s fake edgy, which is cringe but also actively helping the oppression of filly fags. Salon 13 was the most fucking based thing I’d ever seen, because FINALLY, I could be honest about who the fuck I am!!! But the “Mares! Mares! Mares! We wanna fuck mares!” shit is a tired schtick. First of all, for 99% of the posers, it is just a schtick. And a lame one. And furthermore, we still can’t have our fillies out in the open, so stop with the mare pussy already. It’s not cool if we can’t have filly pussy as well! That’s the most oppressive part about it to me. It’s irony poisoned “gooning” that hates the real ones.
>>43421566Oh, but anyway, I’m not saying I’ll break the rules. Nobody yell at me, please. I’m just saying: PLEASE find a more based venue next time!!!
>>43421571Like what, a NAMbLA host?
>>43421575LOL! But they’re just drawings, though. For me personally, I can take or leave what their supposed “age” is. I like some scenarios where you’re worried that you’ll get in trouble for being raped by them, and I do love the emasculation aspect of being dommed by a filly, but overall, they’re just the same to me, just smaller and cuter. And that just appeals to me more in a visual style. For ME, that’s the only real reason for the preference. So people are literally out here measuring a pony’s anatomy in their minds to decide if it’s “too short and cubby” to be allowed? What’s the logic in that?!
>>43421538>This might be my last time heresee ya next year fagget ^:)
>>43421581LOL! Yeah, I’ll probably be there. But I’m just saying, I really could do without all the irony. I thought NeighCon was a really good mix of basedness with just a slight bit of irony. Plus, there was actually A LOT of secret ULTIMATE BASEDNESS with some of the people I ran into there. I’m in contact with one of those people who I know will be there. Don’t know about the rest for sure yet.
>>43421598I could do without your yappingthink I might shut you up with my throbbing [MUTE BUTTON]
>>43421598Oh wait, I’m gonna clarify that, yes, it was secret, but it was also 100% legal and not against the hotel’s stated rules either because it happened in private. Okay? Just clarifying so it doesn’t sound like I’m alluding to anything worse. :P
Also, is it really too much to ask to not have the con in Florida during fucking hurricane season next year? I mean, for fuck’s sake, do we really need to explain that feeling like we’re risking death by going is unappealing to most of us? And even if it isn’t THAT serious of a risk, I don’t want to miss my flight either, and NOBODY wants the con to be shut down due to weather conditions. So, can you just… not? Have it somewhere else or have it a different time of year. I don’t know how that’s such a hard request. It’s only the fourth fucking year where the news kept telling us that we’re probably all gonna die if we go.
>>43421622Can YOU just not?
>>43421628Sorry, but I’ll be there.
>>43421633And you think that sperging like a faggot for the last 4 hours is going to incentivize anyone to take anything you say seriously?
>>43421636I dunno.
>>43421271Admittedly, we do want the ads to follow the theme, but it was a bit difficult for this year. We did want to do a third ad that would’ve been entirely on theme, but that didn’t work out with scheduling.I will say though, in the ad team circle we have a few threads focused on specific songs for specific themes next year. Right now, we have the most ideas for Horror, but I am looking for suggestions for Prohibition esque songs, and maybe I’ll throw out a form of some kind for yall to give suggestions. Crade and I try to direct the ads away from the more showtune broadway esque ones that the intro follows to keep it unique and separate. Obviously the intros are of a higher production value and the like, and we enjoy having a distinction between the ads and intros. Hence why we try to do different kinds of songs. Mare Fair Never Dies is a polka punk song for instance (partial spoiler I suppose). The ad releasing today is more so themed around the troubling start to the year we had, hence Mare Fair Never Dies, but I do truly want to do at least one ad song on theme next year, especially since I can tell from the feedback forum and some comments here that that’d be appreciated.So far we have two songs in mind for next year, but with the size of the ad team now, we certainly have space for a third. Once the theme is decided, if I’m given the knowledge of it of course, and if I’m allowed to share it when ad production begins, I’ll happily throw up a form for song suggestions if that would be appreciated.I do hope you understand though that the ads take a lengthy amount of time to put together, and since all the artists, singers, and whatnot involved are all volunteers, I don’t want to be breathing down their necks and stressing them out with crunched deadlines and the like. So, typically we have to start early, from finding a song, to writing the parody, to having a meeting for scene picks, integrating more amazing artists into the team, and then actual production.If any of you do have suggestions now, I’d happily hear them out. So, feel free to leave some and I’ll pop in and wade through the threadshitting from strawberryfag and co to give it a look. Crade and I will also be hosting a panel about the ad creation and teams, so if you’re at the con and want to give direct feedback, please attend it.And sadly, albeit that neighsayer claimed I was a traitor for such a statement, the ass nerf post Another Day of Mares remains, but was reverted juuuuust a bit. Still heavily nerfed. Patch notes are patch notes.

Marefair definitely got poisoned by the “we’re gonna go bigger” being followed through and manifested. The result of something going bigger is always enshittification nowadays. PR becomes a chore because you have to cater to the gullible masses instead of your target audience (anons), and in MF leadership’s case, announce everything on xitter instead of here timely. And the former comfy feeling that MF1 offered of something experimental, timeless, and pure is gone, the pool of anons has been diluted so much by tourists that you can’t even risk talking to people you don’t know because they unironically might not know what DYEWTS means or who and what the Scruffening affected.Which means you have to instead vigorously gatekeep room parties in order to have a enjoyable time, because god forbid some tourist reports you to hotel staff for saying niggerfaggot.

>>43422496>do you think decent camcorders until 2010 didn’t existGollyfag said the cutoff for all technology is 2006The majority of small portable consumer friendly video cameras were shit in quality, battery life, and total storage.Regardless if MF staff were to ever enforce this event theme, they’d lose a large chunk of their attendees. I don’t come to a con just to not take photos or videos and don’t feel like whipping out ~20-60$ for film and developer or a used camcorder.>t. obnoxious socially-aware zoomerMarefair’s has only gotten more diluted each year, the anon percentage is growing smaller. I attribute the success and the only reason the con hasn’t lost attendance just to having a merch hall that hosts high quality pony, along with the AD hall selling stuff other cons won’t because of “muh heckin’ chillruns” or other BS. I don’t know, most cons are mediocre.

>>43422532so is strawberryfag right in that this con shouldn’t be shilled on /mlp/ if it’s not for /mlp/?>>43422530probably not for budgeting, it’s not impossible to imagine that despite being a “nonprofit” the organizers still pay themselves for their work, though I still can’t remember where to find snowpity llc’s budgeting sheets (since all non-profits that are registered have to show them, or if they’ve published last years.)The unfortunate reality is that you need a large enough base of retarded attendees to pay for the con, I think my real issue lies with how anons get treated like the rest, despite being the original audience.To which my questions are.>Why don’t we have announcements in thread instead of on twitter first? >Why don’t we have a IRC or matrix to keep track of MF stuff instead of being banished to pisscord which is actively anti-anonymity and can shut down your server any moment?>Anon is infrequently shown in promotional media (he might get 1-2 references), where are the board OC’s, snowponies?

>>43422900I mean, if you want to get technical, this is true. Going to a con inherently invalidates anonymity at several points.To this point, every year it's fun to see who 'came back this year' (both known people and the other weirdos you saw).
>>43422891Well, maybe you’re right. I cun’t say too much about my group at Mare Fair cuz I’d be spreading draaaaaaaaaama, but I won’t be hanging out with them much this year. Last year I pretty much didn’t even try to meet anyone AT the con, and instead just hung with people I knew online. But surprise, surprise tranny Discord servers are filled with passive aggressive backstabbers. Who’d have guessed?So at NeighCon, I had to try to make friends in the moment and I actually did an okay job. If that ends up being possible at Mare Fair, then I guess that’s good. But the impression I got was that they’re more interested in hiding their face and shouting the word “mares” than they are in making friends. And that’s anathema to everything Pony is all about!Do you want to hang out at Mare Fair this year?
>>43422924You betcha hyukhyukhyuk I love My Little Pony!
>>43422894>He's a gnostic. Being a hypocrite comes with the territory.How? I think there’s exactly one anon that actually gives a shit that I’m interested in strange ancient texts and what we’re able to read into them, and you never seem to want to shut up about it. But you literally also never even attempt to respond on theological grounds. It’s just, “He believes in the naughty stuff! Wait till I tell Daddy!” Shut the fuck up or actually say something.
>>43422924NTA, but>Do you want to hang outYes. You're the only person I missed meeting from last year. You won't evade me this time

I’d love to have people to talk to about these topics and I’m not even solely interested in Gnosticism. I’ve been reading the canonically scriptures a lot lately. The whole world of that is just endlessly fascinating.But you’re wasting my time if you’re bringing it up and saying nothing. Not that it’s even relevant to this thread anyway. You can talk to me at Mare Fair if you want.

Hello Anons. Due to CIRCUMSTANCES my con planning is TARDY. Some /adv/ please.Need to book flights ASAP. My PTO only begins Thursday but runs through the week after the con. So I can hang out more or less indefinitely post-con. Plenty of Anons hang around FL in the days following the con right? If everyone bails on Monday, not much sense sticking around.I am arriving merchless. Intend to fly back with luggage bag full of swag. Vendors will accept cash right? How much cash money should I bring?ty and I will also accept other /adv/ including shitposts. Can't wait to meet some of y'all even if I don't use this board much anymore inb4 offboarder
>>43423334Maredieval Times is Monday night, and that sold out so hard that Kiwi is getting a secondary cope group together, so there will definitely be people through at least Monday into Tuesday.>>43423334>Vendors will accept cash right?They prefer it>How much cash money should I bring?Depends on what you want to get, but for "a luggage bag full" I'd say at least $500 just for merch. More if you want big-ticket items like vendor hall plushies.
IM BREAKING THE LAW, I'M GOING TO LEAK THE MARE FAIR OPENING CEREMONIES ANIMATION WHICH IS 7 MINUTES LONG AND MUFASA FUCKING DIES.
>>43423349>Maredieval Times is Monday night, and that sold out so hard that Kiwi is getting a secondary cope group together, so there will definitely be people through at least Monday into Tuesday.Awesome. ty Anon. I thought that was Thursday (confused the date with Cinemare night). Really need to get my head out of my ass.
>>43423396For small individual or group sellers I do expect a cash preference.But I don't take for granted that any given seller isn't monetarily cucked. Just a few days ago I was on a business trip and the bar I went to was "cashless". (I forced the issue and got them to take cash anyway.)
>>43423045I'll give the video a 7/10The Jojo animeshit that 90% of /mlp/ won't get was completely unnecessary along with continuing with the unironic desire to keep "growing". I won't deny the artistic work that went into it, but that thigh signing scene was especially egregious and self-serving and ruined the video for me too. As >>43423283 said, not even a moralfag, just tune down the overbearing softcore.And per my recommendation, add more board related OC, we still don't have Finish Line yet despite that being 100% homegrown by /mlp/ rather recently? Come fucking on!Hell, even Princess AJ would be good to add.
>>43423478Datte is the one who adds board OCs and anons to his shit (like the opening ceremonies, and I think the /mlp/con ads), Ebony (and I guess Crade now?) has a different style. Ebony's stuff also does tend to be much more sexualized than Datte makes his things. Not a dig in any direction, but there's clearly a difference in style and priorities between those two.
>>43423478>Finish LineYour terms are acceptable. It's a cute pony.
>>43423359Do it no balls
>>43423406bits in mouth is so hot but imagining applejack using a credit card instead with her mouth is like that corruption fetish stuff to mewhen i get to equestria im going to invent cash back credit cards with very large late fees and hopefully cause a few debt spirals...holy fuck the thought of that is so hot it's unreal
>>43423478i think the best part about it is the fact that every artist gets to have their own part and they all add their unique stuff to the video, the fact the video has stuff that might piss me off is ironically BETTER because it reflects /mlp/ extremely well and the differences between anons. Makes it far more true to the source material.
>>43423499if this was true then MF would be asking for artists to help contribute animation assets to the project, instead it's closed off to a small circlejerk of well "known" artists among the group.Wapamario is a /mlp/ artist and he specifically got excluded due to drama unrelated to /mlp/ or even marefair as a whole.
>>43423478I spied a Paddle Pop anon in thereBut this is ultimately down to the individual artists, because I think Ebony's "style" if you can call it one is to give each contributor a lot of freedom
>>43423508>Mare fair related thing is a cliquey circlejerkWhaaaaaaat no way.
I’M SO NERVOUSCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But why, OH WHY, is it so far away!!!!!!!!! Two weeks is one of the worst imaginable amounts of time to wait, because it’s too soon to stop yourself from getting excited, but it’s still SO far away!!!!!!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
>>43423508Wapa is an unstable psycho who flies off the handle at any given moment. Ask anyone who knows him how many times he threatens his friends.>>43423511What's Datte's style? Does he make people draw within a box?
>>43423523>What's Datte's style? Does he make people draw within a box?NTA, but the answer would be no. Both Datte and Ebony lead their teams by giving the artists as much freedom as possible. In the first two Opening Ceremony videos, there was a scene that needed an audience, so there was plenty of opportunity to add community OCs though. The best proof that artists decide on their own scenes is PQ, who always takes the chance to draw Dyx and Nyx. But the main point of this feedback may be fair. If I get the chance to draw for another video, I'll try to include a few community OCs.

On the other hand, one perk of it all being shut behind closed doors is it makes the videos a total surprise for us.>/bale/ slanderPlease, some elusive balefags and drawthread contributors have cuter art than some of the MF artists.

>>43423658Has it ever occured to you that the dude who runs the opening ceremony animations shares a art server with you and watches you crash out all the time, Wapa. Maybe there isn't a conspiracy, maybe you're just an unpleasant dude to be around that people don't wanna work with. Work on yourself and stop baiting suicide and murder and all that gay shit if you want shit to change. Also, airing out your dirty laundry in the threads is probably another reason you won't make the cut.
>>43423654As someone who has drawn for a video, I’ll say that this is true. Also, >>43423618 is absolutely right.>Meeting deadlines and quality standards?It’s easy to ask an artist to draw, but it’s harder to get them to create a ton of assets >for free.In reality, 5 seconds of animation means, at best, between 20 and 30 rendered drawings. You might like your favorite artist’s style, but they probably won’t do it because of the amount of work involved.
>>43422998May I have a ride please? I arrive at 4:30pm on the 26th
>>43423665He only crashed out when he joined that server with his mental health starting to degrade because of that event, making him more unstable overtime. Are you assuming he ALWAYS did this before he joined that server? Go ask his friends yourself too then.

>>43423666There's a noticeable variation between each video and scene in how many frames are being animated, Satan. Sometimes it's animatic, sometimes a serious animator goes nuts, and most traditionally, it's 2-5 paper cutout pngs being puppeted around (which I've always had a hunch is often done by someone else). I really had the latter most in mind. Alternatively this idea of open contribution doesn't need to hold the same weight of responsibility that the MF artists have. Since the lack of board OCs was brought up as a weak area, maybe we can help populate a background with them? Or memes and props when a background could use some filling? Basically MF artists outsourcing bits of their assignment to anyone that wants to help.
>>43423045I liked the video. haters gonna hate.
>>43423665I hate to contribute to this gay ass drama and I hope these posts get deleted for being off topic, but that's not Wapa. A few schizos have latched on to the whole situation and are getting off on spreading it around.Another thing to note is that Wapa does not write this eloquently.
>when retards are fighting
WhateverGo my pony
>>43423486Datte will always have some hateful messages directed at the furries, x, or other conventions. His whole ethos is unity through hate. His thought process is literally:>we are 4chan, we must hate everybody else, otherwise we are not 4chan. If they are not us, they are against us and ergo our enemies.You can see this clearly from all of the previous year's opening and no doubt will be in this year's as well. Even the /mlp/con ad employs this rhetoric. It always evoke spite, that "we're running this con to spite the hatorz!!!!".It's an eternal struggle with "detractors" and "haters", and grudges can never be forgiven; The theme is, we're running this convention because we hate everyone and we are spiting them. The convention is a weapon.The ad team focuses more on the celebration of the convention. They rejects the idea of using ads to drive some sort of political messages, but focuses on the event itself. "Another Day of Mare" is a celebration of the idea that we're doing another Mare Fair, and we get to unite with friends and have fun. "It's Tough To Run A Con" paints the idea that the ponies are going through all the hardships, but it's all worth it if it means hosting an awesome convention for (You). "Mare Fair Never Dies" stresses that they will never let Mare Fair die regardless of any hardship. The theme is, we are running this convention because this convention is important and an opportunity for friends to see each other and enjoy mares. The convention is an opportunity for good.
>>43423235Mimosa showing off her moves in bed
mare fair threads last few years before the cons were fun and full of people planning cool shit but every time i have popped into one this year it's just monkeys flinging shit at the strawberrynigger boogeyman.
>>43423849Honestly doesn't help how official threads were posted this year. Very sporadic and clumped togetherHell, we didn't even get one for the vendor release
>>43423849Its hard to call him a boogie man when he actually exists and consistently posts but I agree they need to fucking stop. The animation today was fun
>>43423813Both of you are painfully correct in every way and its so obvious. I dont care for the constant push for more culture war shit from him, but that comes more from being tired of seeing it everywhere in various forms
>>43423813The intros' jabs at haters take a negligible amount of time. The very first ad blasts the convention scene for being trash and going furry. "Our Pony Convention" pokes at the good guy squad telling us to die and to start our own con. "A Con Worth Paying For" mentions furries pushing their Bluey trash, the culture war, and Trotcon turning to generic. "It's Tough To Run A Con" squeezes in a retarded furry pissing itself in a ballpit. It's always been a "fuck you" convention, and that's based.
UNFFFFF CLOWN MARE SEXO HONK HONK HONK HONK HONK GET SILLY GET SILLY GET SILLY
>>43423813Unity through hate is based, though. Doesn't this whole con exist because people were tired of being pushed out of other conventions by retarded policies and the people who implement? Ask Corp about Trotcon.Judging by how big mare fair is getting, it does appear "unity through hate" against other conventions is a working formula.
>>43423813On a scale from 1 to 10, assuming what you're saying is true, how much does it bother you that the ebony ads will STILL never be as good as the opening ceremonies
>>43423868It’s cringe.
At this point I'd rather just get told the application was rejected than get dragged on in uncertainty.I guess some topics are too spicy even for Mare Fair.
>>43424297What was your panel?
>>43424297A bunch of other people were talking about how theirs was approved around the same time, so yours probably was rejected. I think they haven’t figured out the order of panels yet, which is why we have no schedule, but I don’t think they’re still accepting any more at this point.
>>43423865I think it's a matter of audience. /mlp/con animations are made for.../mlp/con. They're shown there to anons. They rougher and edgier. The Ebony ads are made for a more normie audience.
>>43424318I just hate the victim complex thing. It’s cringe. Why can’t we just have a con where we don’t spend our whole time thinking about the haters?
>>43424301Stable diffusion image generation. More specifically, how to move beyond typing tags in a box and hitting the button. There's plenty of tools and methods almost nobody knows about because they've already chosen to believe that low quality porn is all it's good for. If you were at EHM you know what I'm going to talk about.I'm annoyed about how it's become yet another directionbrain tribal thing where you either agree with /myopinion/ or deserve to be killed.>>43424304Yeah, I figured as much. It's just the silence that's killing me. I had plans, but no longer have time for everything.
>>43424332Probably cos haters to this day want the con dead
>>43424341So fucking what? Defy them by enjoying yourself at the con as it continues to exist, not by shitting your pants and crying about it.
>>43424347Not mutually exclusive, gollyfag
>>43424335As someone who bought a 5090 for the purposes of generating my esoteric ideas, I'd have been delighted to attend your panel.
>>43424335Good you AIniggers are soulless
>>43423735>which I've always had a hunch is often done by someone elseBlender Chads are credited on every video.
>>43424365See what I mean?There's no argument to be found here. Just brainless "AI = BAD" parroting.
>>43424335dashieleaks here, the big scheduling meeting with the accepted panelists already happened last week, so it doesn't seem like your panel will be getting in. Sorry you had to hear that from a random Anon instead of someone on staff though, feels like theyve been dropping the ball on getting the schedule out at a reasonable time and with communicating with panelists this year.
>>43424380But it’s true. Only retards like AI.
>>43423735It IS very inconsistent. One scene has that puppeting style and the other has breakdancing at full frame-by-frame animation...not saying its not cool. But its very distracting. Either do one or the other/
>>43424389That's kinda thick coming from you.
>>43424396I said “only retards like AI,” not “ALL retards like AI.” The actuality is that all trannies HATE AI, so that alone precludes me from being able to be among that specific type of retard.
>>43424389Its common wisdown that if Gollyfag thinks X or Y, the opposite is the only correct opinion, in all things.
>>43424404I love you, Anon.
>>43423813Hehe you are retarded. Years working with Datte and Ive never got a single message from him asking me to shit on someone else.
>>43424393I find it charming to see how artists approach things in their own ways
>>43424284pretty sure he said that he likes to keep the ads more tame in production
>>43424419"Overly" aniamted scenes are not tame. You can also tell he's giving it his all writing the dialogue. Don't minimize his efforts to try and claim he's trying to hide his powerlevel or something, because you can tell he's going all out.>>43424417Don't get me wrong, it definitely is. But this makes some artists shine more than others. Almost feels like a competition on who can get crazier in animation vs the others, because no one at this point would wanna be the dude who made puppets in an animation with an entire fully rendered dance scene. People definitely get outshined. Can't even imagine how burnt out the artfags are at this point.
>>43424432>no one at this point would wanna be the dude who made puppets in an animation with an entire fully rendered dance sceneOh, you are talking about me. It feels daring to be between two great artists. But the internal never feels like a fight. It's the opposite. It's more like we want to demonstrate we can do it ourselves, and they respect that.
>>43424448Ah, then I stand corrected in this specific point, apologies
>>43424335Probably the wrong con to have a panel with AI for image generation my dude. Not that I'm personally against it; it just doesn't fit with the vibes and with all the artists who did hard work for the con.
Cozy Glow.
>>43424335I just asked Gonder, he says all rejection emails will be sent out when the schedule releases. It does look like yours was rejected, sorry friend.
>>43424335>drawslave staff denies AIanon's panelImagine my shock
>>43424457You are good, and that's what I like from working at the ad. There's always new people, and the energy is always to support others. It's kinda funny to read this is a circle jerk, cuz there's always new people at a high rate and we don't hell know who they are, but we will couch them. It's fun.
>>43424476That's absolute retardation to hang people in loose noose like that. Either you start to scramble your panel together very hastily after getting that email, or you build it with care just to be rejected at the last moment.
>>43424473It's like the only one that doesn't straight up blacklist you for even bringing up the subject. That's how bad the directionbrain is. If you're not against it, that means you're trying to kill art and artists.>>43424476Guess I'll try again next year, tho I doubt anything's going to change. On the contrary. It'll just get worse and become even more of a topic you simply aren't allowed to talk about.
>>43424497>It's like the only one that doesn't straight up blacklist you for even bringing up the subject. That's how bad the directionbrain is. If you're not against it, that means you're trying to kill art and artists.It's just too early for its time. You gotta understand the people who put their hearts and passion into the surrounding con material and then have some guy AI gen images in a panel. It's not a good look for the con to accept you even if you put it in nice words and as a learning experience to make people stop making slop with a few sentences and tags.The zeitgeist for AI images is still not here. Please consider that and don't take it to heart.
>>43424497>If you're not against it, that means you're trying to kill art and artists.This but unironically.
>>43424509I understand, but that doesn't mean I'm not sad about it.It's pretty much word for word the argument about photography when that first started becoming a real thing. Just, condensed into a much shorter time because digital tech develops a lot faster than the analog back then.It's all so tiresome.
>>43424509>
>>43424512How could I recognize you? I want to know who the deep hell the gollyfag is.
>>43424476That sounds inconsiderate what if people have to make special plans for their panels and then find out they got canned?
>>43424535It will be obvious.
>>43424541I'll be staffing all weekend, I hope it will be so obvious.
>>43424544There won’t be a day that I don’t wear something Cozy Glow related, and I’ll most likely be holding one of my two Cozy Glow plushies at any given time as well, though I might bring out my Izzy plush for a little bit as well. I’ll also be with GlimmyGOD for most of the con, so if you see him, I’m probably nearby.
>>43424546I know people who have met you so this time for sure, but as one who expressly tried to meet you last year, you're not THAT obvious
There was a very embarrassing instance with a person in a wheelchair,... because YOU said you'd be the obvious CRIPPLE
I FOUND the obvious cripple, and either it was you trolling OR you weren't the actual obvious cripple! >_<
>>43424565I’ll be easier to find this year, don’t worry.>>43424570>>43424591I said I’d be a cripple? Uh, I don’t remember that. You might misread me, or fell for someone pretending to be more, or uh… maybe it was a joke that I made?! I dunno, though. Not really my sense of humor, so it doesn’t seem like that would’ve been me. I mean, the only thing I can think of if it was me was that maybe I got nervous with it being my first con so I threw in a lie to get people off my trail? If I did do that, then… oops, I didn’t mean to cause anyone embarrassment. :P
>>43413342AI is for murder-drones to control the population.

>>43424613This and >>43415527>Stay tuned on X.No you fag.
>>43424432the dialogue and jokes he sets up aren’t bad and I do enjoy it but tough to run a con’s opening scene was really long
>>43413342Why does this con hate twitter/x so much?
>>43424621>Why does this con hate twitter/x so much?They killed my parents.
>>43424621t-twitter killed my grandma ok!!!
>>43424620it was paced well though. makes me want shorts of the mascots just interacting
>>43424497Any chance of doing it unofficially? I don't know your requirements needed since my frame of reference for this is only aryannefags meeting in the privacy of their rooms, some guys breaking out mtg decks at a public hallway table, and salon 13 rented out for a con within a con, but the board always had a diy attitude that needs to fill in for how absolutely unreliable the officials can be.
>>43424380Generative AI is a fucking pox of not just creativity but society as a whole. I pray you stop being so fucking lazy and pick up a box of crayons.
I have a concern regarding cosplay.Disney has pretty strict rules regarding costumes on their property. I’m sure cosplay will be fine inside of the hotel, but if we want to walk over to Disney Springs are we going to get in trouble for being in cosplay? Will we have to undress every time we leave the hotel? I plan to be in cosplay most of the con
>>43424669I was just told to sod off and drop the subject so the artists don't feel devalued and, after also being left in the dark for two weeks, that's kinda killed the hype.But all I'd need is a projector and anything that can run a slideshow. I still have my EHM slides. That, and an audience.
>>43424362I have a panel you might find interesting. I'm building a distributed compute architecture with sharable persistent memory and self improving logic that uses many LLMs to power a cognitive inference layer. On top of that is a "sort of" social network that classifies content and people into communities, with dynamic page features. (Ie, a mashup of wikipedia, discord, booru sources, and 4chan into a unified interface that replaces doomscrolling with higher dimension navigation elements). Basically, Cool New Shit on a scalable backend of regular people's spare GPU cycles instead of funneling money into openai.
>>43424714For what it's worth, the current Mare Fair art lead doesn't really give a shit about AI. He definitely isn't one of those "AI is killing art ree" types, but also isn't one of those "AI is the future" types. At the very least, I've seen him post this picture more than a few times.
>>43424612No. You need talent and discipline.
more of you are complaining about a panel that didn't even get approved because "AI BAD" than the garbage fat fetish one that has been confirmed for over a week and that says a lot
>>43420381the food was thoroughly mid, bland, and not very fresh. I enjoyed the dessert bar quite a lot though.I hope this year's tendie banquet will be better.
Lol. Let me get this straight. So panels are being denied just so the ecelebs dont get their feefees hurt. HAHAHA
>>43421419the high fantasy theme this year isn't very good. I liked last year's theme which embraced all the Florida tropes, but this one feels disjointed and not really put to use.I'm rooting for a GTA, 2000s, or general early era 3D gaming theme next year. >>43421538see you irl in a few weeks mah nigga. >>43421622we aint dying nigga.>>43424509>The zeitgeist for AI images is still not here. Please consider that and don't take it to heart.yeah I think so too. it's an optics issue for a con like mare fair where there's already shit stirrers who want more controversy and drama. I'm eager about AI art, but get why we need to avoid it.
>>43424714Generative AI is not the future it is lazy and you should attempt to put your efforts into something tangible and real.I may be coming across as an asshole because I see your passion to create. But AI is not genuine creation.
>>43424775>reddit spacing>ebonics>trooncore themes>concern trolling
>>43424760No it is because there have been about ten different AI panels and six of the trading card game panels that have applied. It was a case of scheduling was telling people to work together and collaborate.
>>43424812Oh yes. Of course, of course. So what AI art panels did get approved?
