Just put/wave your hands in a no reply, I've tryed and it works, or slide to the right or left

Why should we have to do that?  It'd be better if everyone assumed that no glomping is the rule unless given express permission.

Yes but doesn't that take the surprize factor out of the picture

Yes, 'cause it's better to surprise someone, causing them to fall over and hurt themselves, than to ask them, just so you can get your jollies.

Or ruin their costume.  Or cause them to drop something.  Or, for the love of god, infringe on their personal space because they don't want to be touched!  Why can't glompers understand that?  Some of us just don't want to be grabbed/mauled/touched by strangers!  JUST ASK.

I agree with you that there is pain...Now that I think of it, it is a drag to get glomped...

You win this time Dammit!

I've never been glomped; a few people have asked for hugs here and there, but that's it. I don't think I'd mind being glomped as long as it's not from behind, so I can see the onslaught coming.

Though one of my costumes is going to be a huge challenge for me to make, with a delicate prop and chest accessory. If anyone glomps me while I'm wearing that, I'll probably kick them in the knees. The other three are safe, at least. >.>

So we can pretty much sum this topic up from all that was repeated. Hello, I'm new nice to meet you. :'D

1) Glompers need permission from cosplayers.
2) You absolutely cannot glomp from the back. o_O Won't even give the cosplayer a head start to run or resent it if they see it coming.
3) People get seriously injured. Even people who are sick would love to go to Anime Conventions because it's a very fun event.
4) People carrying food can get it smeared all over their lovely costumes and result into tears or cursing.
5) JUST ASK? LOL?

I will either be barefoot or wearing sandals due to my choice of cosplay. I can just imagine the types of foot injuries that'd possibly come from glomping. Plus, I'm small and even I don't want to admit: fragile. I never sprained anything in my life and I really do not want to feel that pain. Even bruising.

.... The end.

oh wow, I was the Etna in that video, although she was good and didn't tackle me like everyone else (actually, I didn't even know it was considered a glomp). If she had I would've yelled at her. I second everyone's statements. As someone who's big on personal space I try to treat everyone with respect and ask before hugging or taking pics.

Are we still on the glomping. It's simple, you either want to be glomped or not. If you want to glomp someone just ask them. If they say no then oh well. Let's just have a good time at fanime...when it's here *wants to go even more* ><

What do the elevator ninjas do? Wait around in elevator and annoy anyone that go in it? imagine a buisness man waitiong for the elevator door to open and as soon as it does the ninjas pop out and start poking him.

On glomping,

why hasnt there been a universal glomp notice for con-peeps. like a badge on the arm or a button? kinda like peace tying?
like,..

red= no glomp
blue= ask before glomp
green= please glomp

it might be a bit of a hassle but it would help people not getting upset and hurt, not to mention all the glomp lovers will be left to themselves.
Hell, they could put it on our badges, that way people would have to look, letting all involved know of it happening.

Because it should be common sense. Should we also have a sticker for people that don't want to be punched in the face, groped? A sticker for "Hey I'm easy and will sleep with you" and stuff as well?

It's a lot of extra work, and money that a convention SHOULDN'T have to do for something like "basic courtousy" on behalf of the attendees. The attendees should have common sense... end of.

Put it on our badges? Do you think people go up and stare at your badge then go "OH OKAY!" and then they walk back about 5 feet then run at you and tackle you?

Besides, con management shot down the idea over in the Ideas and Suggestions board anyway, as well as they should.

Like I said before, I'm all for glomping but just in a respectable way and if that person wants to be glomped. If they don't want to be then that's that. Even if they had colored tags that identified you as someone that did or didn't want to be glomped I think that would be awkward because people would be avoiding each other and other that did would be screwing with the people that didn't want to be glomped. On a personal note I wouldn't wear some colored tag. That would make me feel like some kind of fugitive or something. "Avoid the green tag people if you don't want to be glomped"
