I'm just reading up an archived thread and I came across the posts about iambabybear again.

Chris Daly, He used to be Eirtakon staff. He was sarcastic to people who would ask questions to the Eirtakon page. He thought he was better than anyone else on his team. He had a break down at the con last year over a con booklet, stormed out in tears.

He has a page set up for these baby teddy bears where he pretends to talk for them and he makes them call him Crispy. Its frightening and hilarious at the same time.

I'm probably more excited for the Whiskey tasting than anything else.

Last year the combination of me not being a regular or heavy drinker and forgetting to eat beforehand meant that I was feeling it pretty quickly, so I'm going to try to prepare better this time around.

Even before that Harley cosplays have been quite commonplace. Suicide squad has made it worse though.
>>
>>8708493
Ya, ever since they made her sexy a lot of girls started dressing up as her more. And then the Arkham games made it worse and now Suicide Squad as turned Harley Quinn into a household name
>>
>>8708494
It's the go-to cosplay for girls that have no imagination/want attention.
>>
Yeah poor Harley hence why I won't Cosplay her
>>
>>8708503
They ruined her when they decided to sexualize her. I'm no Anita or prude but it was a cheap attempt to make her appeal more to a general audience. What was great about Harley was she was a hot woman but dressed like a goofy clown with an obnoxious voice. Soon they'll give her a more sexy voice. She's just a generic hot girl with clown make up now

So how easy will it be to dick a Harley on Saturday lads?

I really hope whoever is is doing the cloak room this year doesnt fuck it up like last year. Christ allmighty, I remember waiting nearly 10 minutes to get my bag because some eejit was just putting the shit in random corners of the room rather than in numerical order
>>
>>8711093
Yeh see the cloak room was doing alright last year but it takes one lazy person to not orginiase stuff and it goes fucking crazy . it's so fucking frustrating for the attendees and the volunteers cleaning up the previous mess of unorginised doors.

>>8711093
Sorry I ment to say it was doing okay till some fuck messed it up

>>8711093
Happened last year and the year before that, the cloakroom is always a fucking shambles. I remember last year in particular there was a massive queue and nothing moving because one of the volunteers had left the cloakroom and the other one said they couldn't leave the counter unattended, so nothing was being done.

I actually had to physically walk into the cloakroom at one point to point out the stuff I brought with me and take it because they couldn't find it themselves with the perfectly accurate description I gave.
>>
>>8711108
It really is a mess and its always the volunteers who just walked into it having to deal with angry attendees and cleaning the mess of the ones who originally fucked it up .

The more professional the con gets the harder it gets to staff, and the more likely you'll be stuck in a bumfuck room all weekend missing the shit you want to see.

It can be a laugh, and it's fun when shit goes right and you make it go right. But the more people that show up, the more assholes that make it unfun and stressful. The sort who insists that only their personal weeked is the one that matters.

A lot of the smaller cons, tend to have a much more intimate feel to them, while Eirta's getting to the

There was a time when you could shout Syphilis! during the pub quiz and everyone would laugh. Now you get drowned out by the herd and lost in the crowd.

I miss so many people it's not funny.

The British Soldier thing actually has to do with surplus stores. Every army has their own unique camo pattern that cannot be sold to civilians so left over British uniforms are sold here where it's not the official state pattern, hense why you see so many British uniforms floating about.
So if you see someone wearing pic related you should be more offended since its disrespecting the state colours and taking a uniform that a soldier could be using.

Michael loves us!

Was a great panel. It's too bad it started so late. Equally a load of bollix they had to keep throwing people out who were already in just to readmit them because of those poxy wristbands
>>
>>8716476
Considering some inconsiderate little shit faced fuck rat decided to sort out her fucking bag in the middle of the floor with her fucking open parasol beside her I'm not fucking surprised.
>>
>>8716884
I was talking to one of the security staff, they were wondering that themselves.
>>
>>8716792
She's a slander slinging cunt who can choke on my balls, I hooe she gets raped at the con if she shows her face. If I was there I would be trying to find what room shes staying in, maybe next year.
>>
Lizard Lady was in bits, seemed like she was on something, turns out it's 2 nights of not being able to sleep and being (rightfully) pissed off at Crokers for their lack of stairs being open and Eirtakon's timetable sheet (why fucking ruin a good thing)
>>
Hey gulls, anyone remember which year it was where Sasuke and Naruto (squinty eyed South African dude who would be better off cosplaying Brock from Pokemon) were involved in a serious cringe fest on stage at a con
>>
>>8717952
Likely every year? It's kinda their thing.

Time for another day of disappointment.

>going on Sunday

Never worth it. Had my fun yesterday and especially last night!

Anyone have a report on how the cocktail panel went? Was full when I went to sign up yesterday afternoon
>>
>>8718401
It's quiet on sunday. Less crowds. Everyone's gone to mass. The Bishop insisted on it.

I saw that lad down the bar as well as upstairs. The suit was skin tight. Really didn't need to see his bulge everytime he showed up somewhere
>>
Stay out of the games area, stinks of raw fucking sewage and I'm actually hoping it's the toilets cos if it's the people I fucking weep for mankind

>>8717313
What happened?
>>
>>8718475
Yes, because "it's a total cringe fest" was a detailed and comprehensive report of the panel I missed out on. Lucky you were here to save the day, anon.
>>
>>8718453
Have you never been to a gaming area before?
It's ALWAYS the people
>>
So I just asked why the lifts are volunteers only now and apparently it's because people get stuck in then sometimes.

Absolutely ridiculous.
>>
>>8718499
That's pure bullshit. There were no problems with the lifts last year, literally none. People had to walk on the outside stairs just to go downstairs or leave and the wind was blowing that rain all ways.
>>
>>8718502
We can use the non volunteer lifts so we'll just get stuck in those :^)
>>
>>8718505
Are there non-volunteer lifts? All the ones I saw had the little barriers blocking them.
>>
>>8718506
I tried to get on one on the gaming floor which didn't have a barrier. The one without the gammy button
>>
Cards against Anime was fun but the MC didn't seem to know really basic anime shit. Do people who have no interest in anime staff cons? That seems weird
>>
So many people walked into Player's Lounge last night, took one look at it and said "This is shit", one of my mates included, and I can't really blame them. Most of it looked like an awkward teenage disco with not enough places to sit. Turned into an absolute sweatbox at the end of the night too, which was awful.

Many of us were pissed off to because a lot of people who were staying in the same panel room for multiple panels were told that they had to get up and leave and queue again outside because of those stupid 18+ wristbands, even when the event that was just on previously was also 18+. There were even some volunteers telling a couple of girls during one switchover that her friends, who'd left all of their stuff in the room and had secured places before the panel started, had to give up their seats to other people because they were pushed to the back of the queue when they were told to leave. That was a standout moment of dumbfuckery for me.

But credit where credit's due; the cloakroom wasn't shit this year. No massive queues and they got my stuff back pretty much instantly.
>>
>>8718567
Yeah I'll give them credit for the cloakroom, they were really on top of it.

Overall though, I think my favourite con of the year has been Nom-con, even factoring in the dodgy attendance due to the crush of so many cons in a short time. It was better organised, staff actually knew what was going on, and there was a friendlier atmosphere overall.
>>
>>8718587
I hope you're being sarcastic in a really weird way, nomcon was a disaster. Nothing ran on time, they used the same shifty tiny spaces for bigger events, the games just randomly closed two hours early and there was absolutely nothing to do for two hours before the closing ceremony. Q-con was probably the best one by far this year

Mmmm delicious "gourmet" burger with chips. 9euro

>>8718664
There's an apache literally five minutes away, why would you spend the money on Croker food?
>>
>>8718664
wow that looks so worth it
>>
>>8718479
Well then if you MUST know it consisted of a bunch of "lads" laughing at the same old "random" Cards Against Humanity jokes.
>>
>>8718382

Because guinness is the cheapest meal you can buy.
>>
>>8718788
Gives me the shits.
>>
>>8718953
was that why the toilets were clogged on the friday then?
>>
The auction is so awkward
>>
>>8718969
I'm not there this year, but I remember before when there was just one guy flashing the cash.

Bet that got him laid, not.
>>
at least it goes to charity though, so I shouldnt complain too much
>>
>>8718995
Nobody flashing cash, they're begging people to bid. I'm dying from the cringe.
>>
So Nomcons gone, can't say I'm sad to see it go
>>
>>8719029
Oh really? How did that go happen?
>>
>>8719029
Noone fill the committee positions?
>>
>>8719039
Ran out of money
>>
>>8719058
is there a post about it anywhere, or is this just speculation/inside info?

because idk how much I could trust the latter
>>
>>8719081
Yeah unless I see something official I'm not getting my hopes up that we're rid of that shower of cunts.
>>
They announced at the closing ceremony that the selling of the venue is why they're not running but they ran out of money and only had 500attendees this year so didn't make enough to keep going
>>
>>8717907
She probably was on something seeing as shes literally retarded and has spaz fits. I wonder if she is a virgin.
>>
>>8719107
oh, that's a surprise. I hadn't gone to them the last few years, presumed it was still gaining in numbers
>>
I enjoyed NomCon this year, but it being wedged in with Arcadecon and comic con in dublin didn't help it at all.
>>
>>8719129
So did everyone else not going
>>
>>8719081
Speculation.
Guests are expensive while Attendance was low.
>>
Lads, not gonna lie. The whiskey tasting was great craic.
And yer man from Kaizokucon was gas craic in it.

But seriously lad, don't go into the fucking whiskey tasting and just piss about on your phone and chug the fucking whiskey shots. Like jaysus at least fucking try not to be a raging alco.

But other than that. Twas good schneer so it was lads.

Also those fucking wrestling fans in the players lounge you've my throat fucking destroyed from shouting.
>>
>>8719176
Josie pls.

Didn't notice anyone on their phones but then again we were at the back having too much craic to notice.
>>
>>8718393
She told me she heard autist Nathan stole 2K from some UK con, said it's probably a load of bollix but that if it's true it's fucking hilarious because the UK con guy is a massive fucking cunt.
>>
>>8718273
Not last year, Sasuke sang a cringe solo on stage, up until he left the stage I was expecting a cringe entrance from Naruto up until he left the stage.
>>
>>8718382
Because of the Irish Mammy and her 'there's a poor starving child in Africa who would love that dinner' guilt trip.
>>
>>8719276
yer one Natasha blatantly was. glug glug
>>
>>8719303
Which one was she?
>>
>>8719036
Their venue is being sold that's about the gist of it and they couldn't find a new one.

If they're talking a break for a year it's a good idea, I went to a con in the states which had to switch venues with very little notice as the little indie hotel which they'd used for years was bought out by a major hotel chain which wouldn't honour any of the event bookings. They found a venue last minute which was subpar compared to previous years and it pissed off two attendees so much they ruined the convention for a load of other people and those two attendees were permabanned.

Anyway, fast forward a year and they find a gorgeous new venue.

I fully believe that they should have just cancelled the con for that year and forwarded everyones bookings for the following year, people would have avoided a shitty con experience and the following year be wowed by the gorgeous venue.


It's a good idea IMO and one Nom Con should adopt
>>
>>8719291
She pulled a bunch of crazy shit on us one year, dont really want to go into details because she posted some awful lies about me last time, if she tries talking to you at a con run because she WILL corner you.
>>
>>8719126
She was having spaz fits at the con due to being an autist fail who can't deal with things like the fucking lifts at Croker and is fucking phobic of going down escalators
>>
Anyone go to the furry panel out of curiosity? Not to seriously learn about the wonders of being a furry of course
>>
>>8719324
Wait are you that Hammy guy?
>>
>>8719352
Speaking of furries you know cringe!Naruto? He's also a furry and has one of the cringiest fursuits I've ever laid eyes on.

Here's his wikifur page - http://en.wikifur.com/wiki/Lazarus_Sabastian_Nightwolf

>>8718382
You clearly never grew up here skinny. Irish mammies will practically force-feed any child they see without decent padding. I had a BMI of 20 for reference...
>>
>>8719324
>if she tries talking to you at a con run because she WILL corner you

Much like a lizard might corner its next meal.

>>8719362
I searched the rebeccablacktech archive for 'Hammy' and found this, top kek if it's true - https://archive.rebeccablacktech.com/cgl/thread/S8371047#p8382792
