I super dropped the ball on this one this year.  My laminator broke, so I could only get a couple batches of badges done in the end.

So if you're missing your badge from this year (or last year), fill out this form and I'll mail it to you.

Badges are free since I messed up.  I would be happy with donations instead.

Every year for a grand Fanime Forum tradition, Tsubasa and I make laminated badges for Fanime Forum members.  These don't replace the official Fanime badges in any way and it's only there for fun and recognizing others from the forum.

Here is the thread from 2009.

After I made your badge, you can do one of the following.
- Go to Fanime and pick up your badge for $1

$1 is for materials cost.

What I need from you:
-Your fan name (if it is different from your forum name)
-A high resolution picture of whatever you want.  Anything larger than 1200 resolution is fine.  600 is really pushing it.  Any less than that and you'll have a fuzzy badge.

Q. Why do this?
A. It's a fun way to uniquely identify Fanime Forum members, plus I've always liked having a custom badge rather than just something the con gives you.  After a couple years, it just became a tradition.

Q. What dimension/size do you need the pictures at?
A. As large as you can possibly get.  For the most part, I will resize and crop down to the proper size, but it's important that you get the highest resolution possible because upscaling does wonderfully bad things to most pictures.  As a general rule, try to get something bigger than 600 pixels across.

Q. What happens if you don't find a picture?
A. This is possibly the funnest/creepiest thing I do.  If I don't have a specific picture from you, I start researching your profile and previous posts to try to ascertain what kind of person you are and what picture you would like the most. >:3  It sounds totally creepy in that stalker-y kinda way, but I find it pretty fun figuring out things about people.

Q. How much am I charging?
A. Probably $1 for printing and laminating costs.  If you happen to work at a printing store and can do such things for free *nudge nudge wink wink*, the badge price will drop to $0.  These are just materials fees.  The largest cost is laminating.

Q. Who can get one?
A. Anyone at all.  Just make a post voicing your interest and make sure you're on the list maintained on the first page.

Q. How can I voice my interest?
A. You can either make a post in this thread, message my through the forum, or send me an email at email[at]suspi.net

I'll update this thread with a list of confirmed people.  Happy hunting for pictures, and I look forward to seeing you guys at Fanime :D

It's time for Fanime Forum Badges again!  Keep your eye on this first post for updates.

Here is the previous thread.  I'll copy most of the Q&A from that since it hasn't changed much.  You can take a
look at last year's badges here.

Tsubasa's hard at work making a new design for you all.  Be sure to thank him (or pester him with ideas :> )

After I made your badge, you can do one of the following.
- Paypal me $1 and pick up your badge at Fanime
- Go to Fanime and pick up your badge for $1

$1 is for materials cost.

What I need from you:
-Your fan name (if it is different from your forum name)
-A high resolution picture of whatever you want.  Anything larger than 1200 resolution is fine.  600 is really pushing it.  Any less than that and you'll have a fuzzy badge.

A. It's a fun way to uniquely identify Fanime Forum members, plus I've always liked having a custom badge rather than just something the con gives you.  After a couple years, it just became a tradition.

Q. Where can we pick it up?
A. Oh god, this has been a mess every year.  We'll figure out a better system this year.  I'm thinking about doing badge runs in batches and offer the option of mailing them to people.

I've been tossing around this idea for a while now, and I'm wondering what you all think.

A bunch of people dressed up from TF2 playing dodgeball/capture the intel.

It would be a turn based game to allow for the differences in speed.  During the move phases, the heavies can take 3 steps, everybody else can take 5, and the scouts can take 7 steps + 1 jump in any direction during the "fight" phase.

After everybody's in position, they can throw their dodgeballs to try to tag people out.
Heavies would get giant beach balls because of their short range/large burst.
Soldiers would get regular dodgeballs because they can roll on the ground a fair distance.
Demos can use tennis balls.  I'm not sure how to emulate the behavior of stickies.
Engies can drop sentry guns (someone sitting on the ground) and throw ping pong balls at people.
Snipers can use one of those longer range nerf dart guns.  I was thinking frisbees, but that might hurt to get clocked in the head with one.
Scouts can smack people with nerf bats if they get close enough not to get tagged out.
I can't think of anything for Spies or Pyros.  Maybe a Pyro can throw a blanket?  Ribbon streamers at a fixed length?  o.O

As for health, I was thinking that the heavies can take 5 hits, scouts can take 1, and everybody else can take 3.  This gives the Medics a job so they can follow people and heal 1 or 2 damage per round.  We can use a thick red or blue ribbon at a fixed length to illustrate who they're healing and if they're in range to be healed.

Sometime during Fanime, we can all gather in a field and play :D  It would be better if this somehow becomes an official event though because we can use a room and build a cubicle divider level or something.

Let me know if you have any ideas or comments.

I finally got a job, but now my summer is sooo boring.  Who wants to dress up and go out to do some photoshoots?  I'm generally available after 4 and can travel to anywhere in the South Bay Area.  I'm a amateur photographer who would love some practice with location and light.  If you have some ideas you want to do, but don't have someone with a decent camera to make it possible, let me know :>

My website is http://www.suspi.net/ and you can email me at [email protected] or AIM: Suspiness

Happy April Fools Everyone :D

My friend did this on another forum.. funnier when you're female, but I found it amusing regardless.

It was just something my friend made up.  A mod can come delete this post.

I probably shouldn't clutter up the page with this thread, but I'm looking for pictures taken of my Cave Story cosplay group on Saturday.  It's a fairly underground game, so not a lot of people knew about it (only 12 people recognized who we were).  I would love to collect all the pictures that were taken of us if possible.



If you're interested in the game, it's freeware. It was also entirely programmed by one guy.  Doukutsu Monogatari

Much love for this series :D  I can't get enough of the twins.  I've debated cosplaying as one of them, but then I would be twin-less.

My friends and I are planning to do this during the con.  I was wondering if anybody else out there is also cosplaying from Cave Story.  Hell, how many people out there actually know what it is?  <.< >.>

Anyways, be sure to be on the lookout for me storming around shooting bubbles at people.

Wow.. preview looks interesting..

Anybody see this ad on Adult Swim?  It's so hilariously bad.

I'm not alone anymore!

Final Fantasy is to cosplayers as Pipe Dream was to plumbers.

I am soooo high off cons right now.  Are there any other cons/gatherings/ANYTHING near the bay area these next few months?  I worked for 5 days at Fanime and I have this urge to go out and do MORE!
