Rovers are all staff, we just are more awesome than the rest.

^ This.

Wondering if anyone else has any ideas or suggestions based off this year's con to improve next year's con

From what I've read:


3. More polite rovers.

do you have any specific examples?

Hey guys and gals,

Thanks so much for being so understanding and working with us this year! Thanks to you all just ignoring them keeping that nice huge gap and going about your day we accomplished exactly what they didn't want. They had no one to listen to them and in the end they just slinked away defeated.  (Talking about Saturday). Thanks again!

A friend sent me this article. I figured i'd share it.

Thoughts?

Somebody is correct. Concept art and a backstory/orgin on DA or similar website is acceptable.

Are tonfas that are made out of PVC pipe allowed?

Tonfas of any type are not allowed. Sorry.

[tonfa]

I'm really, really sorry if this question has already been answered since I'm really not willing to read through 14 pages of this. >.>;
Will Hibari's Tonfa be allowed? Kinda like this: http://www.cosplayhouse.com/Katekyo-Hitman-Reborn-Cosplay-Accessories-Kyoua-Hibari-Tofna-Version-2.html
They're hollow and light... >.> And blunt. Utterly and totally blunt. =_=;

Sorry no. (and I double checked this one  :P )

Miscellaneous Items which are not permitted include but are not limited to: lasers, laser pointers, metal baseball bats, sai, tonfa , metal kunai, and yaoi/yuri paddles. Solicitous signs (including "Hug Me" signs) are not permitted. Items larger than 8 feet long (in its longest dimension) are prohibited.

HI! so my question is: will they except a weapon/prop thats just a smidge over 8 ft tall (which is the max height according to the policy)?  my lance for my neliel is literally 8'3"...

The height limit for props is 7'

Um in the rules it says 8'. "Items larger than 8 feet long (in its longest dimension) are prohibited." That can be found in the last line of "Prohibited Weapons & Props" on the "Fanime 2010 Peace-Bonding, Props & Weapons Policy"...

I have no clue on how strict they will be on this rule so good luck with it.

whoops!  Wrong con and policy  :-[ ;D

I stand corrected it is 8'

Ok I have read through every single post here so far and my question has not been answered and I am sure someone will tell me to email a higher-up my question but I feel the need to post it here first. This year I plan to cosplay as Alucard from Hellsing. As fans know Alucard has two oversized hand guns. I am working on making props with no moving parts. I also don't want to put on orange covers on the ends of them. My props will be made out of a resin and painted and sanded down so they look good. Because of the length of them I don't think one would suspect them of being real. However I know in years past for prop guns you have had to have the orange coverings on prop guns. If you would look at this http://seraphim-sephiroth.deviantart.com/art/Hellsing-Leather-Bound-123969481 a photo from last years con she did not have the orange tips. Please could someone get back to me on what I should do. My gun props will look like the ones in the link.

This was just brought to my attention. We will not be deviating from the orange tip portion of the policy this year at all.

Let me get this right. If there are very few if any gun issues there will be talk of no peace-bonding to holsters for next year? Ok. I just wish I knew this sooner because I have spent a lot of money building nice looking props and now I won't be able to bring them this year. Also so there are not so many arguements and questions next year would it be possible if you post this years rules and regulations on next years site until you work out the final rules for next years con. Also are you saying if you hear about very few issues with gun props or any at all or what? Also a friend of mine plans on going as Riku from Kingdom Hearts. What are you going to do about the Key Blades. The two my friend brings are wooden.

Key Blades have always been allowed as long as they are not metal...

Okay, so 22 days away from the con and still no weapon policy? Not much room for error now... already finished everything I need, and now I'm just waiting for the policy to see if my weapon is a go or no-go, although here is a pic so someone may be able to give me a heads up.



No moving parts, orange tip as shown, no trigger even, no internal anything, all a hollow shell. Plus if need be it will be strapped to my back on top of a couple pouches (I'm going as Johnny "Akiba" Sasaki from MGS4) so I wouldn't be able to get to it.

Let me know whether I should even bother bringing it, thank in advance everyone ^_^

Wait a min! Thats the exact gun my friend brought last fanime, just bring it. My friend just got his gun yellow zip tie. Which is peace bonding I think. He couldn't bear without his prop with his cosplay so it work out.

Per this years policy....

•   This was OK last year, what about now?
We change rules yearly. This means that what was ok last year may not be allowed this year. Most especially, we're going to be changing rules on Guns and Gun-like weapons.

Rover's mgmt has already made the call. It's not allowed. Sorry.  :-[
