Spin the Bottle

[duzellkitty]

:P Well inform me if you guys do one next year, I'd like to play. 

* duzellkitty may or may not be a yaoi fangirl....

[Mango Bunny]

My friend joined in! I sat there and watched. He mostly only got girls, which was kind of funny due to various circumstances.

[Sora]

I will inform people about it, once the con gets closer next year. But, like I said, it'd be in a more private setting.

[Aelia]

I would like to point out that if we had to stop it at 2010 Fanime, then it's probably going to get stopped again at 2011 Fanime. (And we will likely stop it sooner, since we train from past experiences)

When you say "more private setting" I'm going to hope that you mean "nowhere that fanimecon will be liable for anything that occurs". (And by that I mean taking it to a park, or somewhere outside*).

Really, what I'm saying is that it's not really a good idea to bring it back, because there are a lot of potential issues (including, but not limited to mono/herpes)

* outside is, of course, under SJPD jurisdiction, so you'd answer to them if someone was bothered by it.

[Sora]

I meant "somewhere where Fanime wouldn't be liable", yeah. But, it'd probably be a little smaller too. who knows.

[Mango Bunny]

Like a hotel room, orrr...?? Either way, I think some of the fun was the spontaneity of it!

[Daph]

That and the horrified looks by the spectators.

[duzellkitty]

If you guys do end up playing you should check IDs or something beforehand.  Always best to avoid contributing to the delinquency of minors and all that. :P

[Deflare]

The main problem I saw with the Spin the Bottle game was... well... *eyeballs the thread about Con Sickness* Yeah. Lip-to-lip contact with lots of strangers=disease breeding ground. 'Tis the main reason why I didn't join in.

[Impulse]

I liked how the one asian audience homophobe and the guy in the black shirt and brown hat were "arguing"

AznGuy: This isn't Fagime!
Guy with Brw hat: FAGIME RULES!
Everyone laughs and a guy kisses him on his turn.

[Sora]

I haven't decided, but I'll know before next year. Also, is anyone here going to Y-con? (I know this is off-topic of fanime) I'm hosting a spin the bottle there. XD

[Aelia]

So, the thing about this whole game is that it's really a very bad idea.

1) FanimeCon can't allow it in the convention center.
2) FanimeCon does not condone "room parties" or "hotel parties" or any form of parties, really. This includes semi-organized events in hotel rooms. And not-organized-at-all-events. (That, and when the hotels have issues with rowdy congoers, they tend to take it out on us the next year around... you guys heard about the waivers in the Hilton, I'm sure)
3) All it takes is the wrong person hearing about an 18+ person kissing a minor and you could be in a lot of trouble.
4) Con-Plague, Mono, Herpes, etc.
5) Do you really want to kiss strangers? (Eww)

So... err... don't do it. If you insist on doing it, please be aware that there could be very serious consequences for it, and please stop planning it on the forums here.

[Glitch]

And while were at it, why don't we also have an orgy? Anything is legal at fanime as long as it's fun.[/sarcasm]

[Xepherian]

so you guys were making all the damn ruckus while me and a congoer were playing hours and hours of airhockey.


jerks.

[Sora]

I didn't participate in this event, so count me out.

As much as I dont want to be a party pooper :P 

This is Quoted for emphasis.  I'm honestly surprised with us breaking up hug lines and crowds... that this spin the bottle managed to happen.

please think of the children! [seriously there are minors about] and I'd really not want to have a crazed parent shut down fanime because their kids got cooties from a spin the bottle game that was not sanctioned by Fanime Execs.

Sorry, but you REALLY REALLY shouldnt play this game. at least not at Fanime public areas.

[ewu]

spin the bottle is a private game....and exhibit hall 3 is not private.....save it for places you live and people that you know...

[Jelly Soup]

spin the bottle is a private game....and exhibit hall 3 is not private.....save it for places you live and people that you know...

Or areas that you personally have paid for, such as a hotel room.

[Tony]

Uh... so I guess I'll lock this...
