Thanks for taking charge of the gathering, Infini!

I'll be back as Sasuke, probably. However, still waiting for the rest of my group to decide what they'll be doing for the gathering, so it's possible that I'll change my mind closer to Fanime.

Oh, and raenef's Tenkai is a friend. She's not going to be pulling a stunt during the middle of the gathering and changing.

Will totally be making a return to the gathering! Even though it was a small turnout this year, I still had a ton of fun.

At this point I have no idea who I'll be coming as - I'll have both my Yukimura and my Mori cosplays, but its possible I might have Sasuke done too. For now put me down as Yukimura =D

As a new organizer you will find the first 4 posts contain most of the information you will need to be listed on the Blue Gatherings Info Boards seen at FanimeCon.
After that is done be sure and let me know so I can list the URL on the 2012 URL list located here:

Huuuooohhh!!! Count me in for one more year! I hope to do Yukimura's SenBasa3 alternate costume, but if that doesn't happen, I may bring default back for one more year.

@Bsaphire Thanks for the links it makes things much easier to look back. Although im not exactly a new organizer, I helped organize the 2009 Codegeass Gathering along with that year's Codegeass Cosplay Chess game, and will most likely be doing so this year too. Just this is the first time Ive been able to actually be the lead organizer. So im sure ill be able to get this gathering bangin!

@Everyone!

Lets keep on goin with this momentum and pick up some more attendees! Hit up your friends and lets get this party started!

Post by: Yukari Kaiba on January 07, 2012, 11:39:05 PM
Con is in 5 months, super excited to hang out with everyone in Basara again!

As for a game, I think that could be fun but I think it really depends on how mobile everyone is (with armor on and such)
Title: Re: Sengoku Basara Gathering 2012 "Get Yo Guns On! And Let's party!!!"
Post by: Knight of Infinity on January 10, 2012, 10:51:20 AM
Just a thought, how about a game of Janken-poi acchi muite hoi(Rock paper scissors) and the loser does an embarrassing pose, scene, or action glorifying the winner?

Im sure that would get everyone fired up especially Yukimura's Flaming soul lulz, and make for great photos.

P.S. I noticed our thread has more posts and views then the Hetalia gathering!!! HECK YEAH!!!

Post by: manik_semiramis on January 12, 2012, 08:34:53 PM
I've officially decided on Oichi, seeing as how that cosplay is in pieces in my den.  :D  What weapon of hers I'll make, I'm not sure yet, but cosplay's more fun with props so we'll see~

As to your game... I've terrible luck with rock paper scissors.  ~_~ XD  But I bet it'll be fun ties for all regardless~!

Post by: Knight of Infinity on January 12, 2012, 10:09:37 PM
Updated!!! Happy to have you on-board!

I guess we will have a Janken-poi game for everyone to play. Whether we set it up as a tournament I dunno~ But so far only two people have put in any input for it so Im just gonna go ahead and take that as a "Im too lazy to reply but think it sounds fun."

I almost forgot! Does this time interfere with anyone's plans for other gatherings/events they plan to attend? Because now is the time to let me know so I can fiddle with the time before its too late. We are now an OFFICIAL Gathering so we must get the time decided ASAP. This will allow more attendees to become solid and allow more photographers to come and take shots of our awesome party!
Title: Re: Sengoku Basara Gathering 2012 "Get Yo Guns On! And Let's party!!!"
Post by: manik_semiramis on January 19, 2012, 01:57:09 PM
If you're looking at time interference, you may get it from the Final Fantasy gathering and the Kingdom Hearts gatherings.  ~_~  Would before noon be better than two?  >_>  I think the KH gathering is tentatively set for 5, and the Final Fantasy one is set between noon to 3p.
Title: Re: Sengoku Basara Gathering 2012 "Get Yo Guns On! And Let's party!!!"
Post by: sael on January 19, 2012, 02:13:01 PM
Considering how much time it takes to dress people, before noon may not be a good idea. Sometimes armor takes a lot of time to put on and getting to the gathering area takes time too, considering photographers and maneuvering with large props. Took at least an hour to dress Tenkai and Yukimura last year; and then another half-hour to get out to the fountain with them.

Closer to noon might be better, though....


My one request is that once a time is settled on, please don't change it. I'm setting the T&B gathering for Saturday and will have a bunch of angry roommates should the two gathering overlap (or have less than an hour or two between the two).

^seconding this. I think a time closer to noon or maybe 1pm would be better.

Id agree with closer to noon, I think.  :D. Although now it's a question of when the Final Fantasy gathering will happen, since I do wanna go to that one too >_>

I agree with armor taking a LONG time to put on! (If Chosokabe at Otakon was any indication.)
And I am totally down for games. Jaken-Poi sounds hilarious.

Hello, everyone. I'm Yukari Kaiba's friend from the east coast (Washington D.C.).

I should be bringing Chosokabe and Kasuga to Fanime.

Athel, don't hesitate to ask us for help; with 4 other pairs of hands in the room, we should be able to find someone able to help you (considering all the mobility issues! XD).

This sounds like it is going to be a lot of fun. Based on the icon pictures (those of you that have basara ones) I hope I'm up to par with all of you ._.

Also I know the feeling of a Basara room. We got at least three of us in a room, probably four.

Post by: Knight of Infinity on January 26, 2012, 12:52:53 AM
Damn this gathering is gonna be one HELL OF A PARTY!  So Noon is best for everyone, I can relate with you all about how hard armor and weapons are. Six swords tied together carefully with nothing but thin rope is tough to mount properly balanced... especially my custom aluminum alloy ones. They let me wield 6 at once.

One last thing, it will be at noon, but what day? SATURDAY OR SUNDAY!!! POST NOW!!!!

P.S. I noticed we have over 1000 thread views and we are two posts away from becoming a HOT TOPIC! Im pretty damn sure this is a first for any Basara gathering! Wo~hoo~ *double fist pump into air* >_<

The plan looks good to me! ^^ I'll be excited to meet everyone on the west coast.
(Also, the staff will be taking pictures at the gathering? That's so cool! Is this a usual thing that they schedule with different gatherings? ...or just the awesome Basara ones? XDD )

@Athel
Fanime takes pictures of major/recurring and official gatherings. In this case it would mean us too. There should be a good amount of photographers who will arrive to our gathering taking into consideration that we have lots of cool samurai style armor.

Saturday at noon sounds good! (hopefully the panel I'm participating in doesn't conflict XD). It looks like we're going to have a really decent turnout this year too :)

Definitely an Eastern Army VS Western Army shot would be cool. Rivalry pairs (Date/Yukimura, Ieyasu/Mitsunari etc)...and one big group shot is a given of  course =)

So now that Nouhime's actually in wearable condition, I feel okay saying I'm actually going to participate this time.  My husband and I will be at the gathering as Nobunaga and Nouhime, although we may need to ditch a bit before 2:00 if masquerade ends up on Saturday in order to change into our masq costumes.

Lol, I think the noon-2pm thing is pretty solid....which makes me cry a little because the FF gathering's at the same time, but that's okay because Sengoku Basara's awesome~

I am fine with the noon-2. I thought that was the plan to start with anyway XD.

Now I am even more excited for Fanime since Sakuracon is over and I met some of you guys there (or at least there are basara cosplayers that were there that are going to wear Basara at fanime) I need to make a few touchups to the costume and I am good to go. I basically want to make some of the armor out of plastic rather than craft foam. And I need to fix up the back of the chain-mail shirt since a few links came off.

Goddamn, why does everyone keep telling me to do chain mail! Anyway, sorry for not being a bit more active, been having alot of shit to deal with recently. Like blowing my RX-7s engine, then the new engine that gets dropped in starts an engine fire. While basically not making any money even though I have a job. Fixing my Date Masamune seems even more annoying now... ARRRG but ill do it and make sure this gathering is a great success!

It seems like there is no major conflict in the gatherings time so it will be set for 12-2. Unless there is a majority of us that would like it to be shifted an hour back? Vut as for now it is set for 12-2.

I think it makes the costume look like you took an extra step. I mean in all the video games refrences he has chainmail. Only in the anime is there none. It can just be expensive/time consuming. I actually loved my chainmail. It fit well and was not very hard to move around in.

I started remaking my helmet today. While cutting the plastic I cut my finger pretty deep x.x I'm going out of town and I really want to work on remaking things. Oh well I will have more than enough time to finish everything I need to get done.

Well I guess in popular demand I will do chainmail. Even though I was against doing the video game version because it would cause inaccuracies between the Anime version and Game version. What areas does he have chain mail? It's only visible on the arms right? I have to remake my helmet too, it was badly damaged at ALA. Man, being broke sucks big time. I cant even take my car out to races anymore... T~T Let alone drive it to fanime and show off some JDM badass-ness hope I can get both fixed in time....

I need to fix up the back on mine and lengthen the sleeves a tad bit more so they don't fall out of the bracers. I'm also going to start making a list of things to improve. I have a good idea already. One day I will make some swords, though its nice having mine so light as is. I also need to remake my sixth sword since I will have a Kojuro and it would be weird walking around carring his sword. Also I don't like having that mix. I used video games refrences for my costume and that is the only thing that is anime related. I got lots of plans and I'm super excited to start *-*

You don't have to do chainmail if you don't want to, and priorities first, you know.  It's sort of vague in the anime version of him, but in the artbook I have, some of the pictures have these marks on his sleeve that suggest chainmail (or  fishnets, but I don't think fishnets is IC for him~).  And manga Date doesn't have chainmail, it looks like.  So it's really up to you.  :P  I just have fun telling you to get chainmail.  But both the anime and game look to me like he's wearing a chestplate of some kind?

Yeah in the anime it doesn't look like he has chainmail, just a black shirt.

Btw, if you wanna make it yourself, I have some links that I bought with the intention of making chainmail that I'm not using anymore.  ~_~  I made a choker, bracelet and belt set, then decided I was too lazy to do more.  :3

Ah, cosplay work aside, I meant to share this with everyone~

It's actually an Eastern chainmail weave, which is essentially a chain grid, for lack of a better way to describe it (Nobunaga's is a traditional western weave, for comparison).  If you had a lot more resources, the way it's rendered, it would be larger rings (like 1/4" inner diameter) being connected by smaller rings (1/8" diameter).  When we did all our chainmail work, we only had the setup to make 1/4" rings, so our group's Date did his chainmail with all 1/4" rings.  He also only made it to cover his arms.

Actually, better idea:
http://theringlord.com/cart/shopdisplayproducts.asp?id=75&cat=Chainmail+Weaves+Samples  Date's weave appears to be the Oriental 4-in-1.  For Nobunaga, we used the European 4-in-1 weave.

...the hubby's done a fair bit with SCA at various points in his life, so I learned a lot about chainmail from him explaining it to all of us.  And yes, we stared at high-res images for a long time.  ^^;  Artbooks are great for that.

We know the whole fragile costume thing way too well.  Nobunaga's spikes are the worst thing.  For AOD, we decided to just tear them all off and reattach them with magnets because it's annoying to have to carry around a hot glue gun for whenever they *inevitably* fall off.  Also, it made navigating the halls a lot easier.

They need to be able to fall off though; it's better for the costume to take damage than for somebody walking around us to take damage if they run into the spikes.  But carrying around a hot glue gun is annoying.

O_O  The oriental 4-in-1 weave doesn't look nearly as bad as the European 4-in-1, which is the one I tried.  Hm... I think I have both the jump ring sizes (the 1/4" and 1/8") ones, but IDK if the 1/8" ones are in the right width.... Have to go check.

That is a great resource, btw.  :D *bookmarks page*

I am looking forward to this gathering so much!  I was able to have Kojuro ready at Sakuracon, so I really am excited to wear him to Fanime.  Just need to finish redoing the coat and he'll be done!

I am getting close to being done with my improvements. I am really excited to see how the new helmet turns out.

I am also super excited for con. I'm still kinda in recovery mode from Sakuracon so it doesn't feel that close but I leave in 3 weeks x.x

I was looking at the list of the gatherings and the Basara one isn't on there. I guess we will just have to spread the information by word of mouth. Its a shame that it didn't get posted in that topic
