Sign Question

[Steve.Young]

This is a tough one. It borderlines sexual harassment/"proposals"

However, if you do go through with this (after finding out if it is i okay of course), I must see for myself the responses =). I think it'd be kinda funny.

Edit: Although, yea it can be kinda creepy. Jail bait ftl!

Well, as Pyron had mentioned, we heard at the last Fanime meeting that "anything that is a proposition, or offering a proposition is not allowed", which includes "Glomp/Hug me" signs

After sitting in enough meetings, one starts to notice that nothing in a meeting is set in stone unless it's in writing.  For example, last time, you and Pyron also heard that all signs were banned, but it turns out that they're not.  So, I'm going to wait until there's an official web page stating the Fanime-specific rules in writing before trusting anything that is said in meetings.  However, illegal is illegal, and that won't change no matter who says what in any Fanime meetings.

Either way, I think people got the message that we think a sign asking for a date is a bad idea.

i always thought that the technical meaning of prostitution is doing anything involving your body for something else like will glomp for pocky or will yaoi for money stating that you want a date its just kinda...
i want to say funny but at the same time no....
in the definition that i heard it does not count as prostitution

Soliciting of any kind via sign is prohibited from the con, as announced at the last meeting. IIRC, asking for a date with a sign is considered soliciting, but beyond that, it's just really really pathetic. While it may not be straight prostitution, and while I really doubt Mister E's intentions is to get whoever takes up his offer to bed, it could be easily interpreted that way... because really, what is a "date" in the new sense of the word? ;)

While I don't have much of a problem with this (as long as he doesn't start using THAT as an excuse to follow someone at the con) it does seem... really creepy, and most definitely will creep people out. I think he's acknowledged this, though.

No no no, I know you wouldn't do that. I said so in my previous post. Just that, it could easily be interpreted that way. In any case, I'm pretty sure you know now that it's a bad idea. It shouldn't be too hard to find a dance partner. If worse comes to worse, you can always try AT the dance, but for all you know, that might be the easiest solution.

This makes me want to host a social etiquette panel.

I think there's something similar already in place though, something like "How to talk to Girls" right?

Anyways, best of luck on your adventure Laughing Man! I'm sure you'll find someone to dance with.

Maybe Major Kusanagi will tear up the dance floor with ya.

Craig is the Man, believe the hype.

However, Im sure the direct approach works best when seeking a dance partner, ganbatte.

[Mister_E]

Alright, I'll do it!

Now that I recall there was this one girl who we kept see each other at the Con.

I am the worst with names so I forgot after all this time, she dressed as Haku from Naruto if I could find her I could hopefully ask her.

Prosititution is the exchange of a montary nature (money, merchandise, bonds, stocks, etc) for a sexual act or acts.  That's the simplest term to apply to the word.  The long version takes up books and penal codes.  Therefore a date in which one party pays for dinner, a show/movie, buys jewel and the rest of the night the second party has sex with the first party could consistute Prosititution.  Basically your standard date.

I think that's a good idea.

From the rumors, it sounds more like a social anti-etiquette panel.
