Title: Blind Date
Post by: AJ_627 on August 12, 2008, 11:02:37 PM
I thought in Fanime 09, they could match up singles at the con so that we could meet local single otakus. its just an idea, if its bad then dont be harsh about it

I thought the title was about a 1988 Bruce Willis movie  :-\

There has been a thread or two about this subject. Wanna see links to those?

This is a very bad idea and would open Fanime up to all sorts of legal issues if any of this goes south.

We have enough stalkers/perverts/sex offenders trying to do crazy shit at Fanime.

Really don't need something to encourage them.

If people want sexy time with me, they only have to ask. Sheesh.

Oy oy oy oy none of that. Kargath Alliance, at least, has some balls to speak of. Two hour Halaa attempt with inferior forces- not a single quitter. Bombs flying everywhere. Skeletons all over the field. Tenacity won the day.

Lois Griffin: [Lois and Peter wait for a pregnancy test] God, I can't believe we weren't more careful. This probably happened that night we tried role playing.
Lois Griffin: [flashback] Oh, I need a spankin'. I'm a bad, bad girl.
Peter Griffin: I'm a Paladin with 18 charisma and 97 hit points. I can use my helm of disintegration and do one D4 damage as my half-elf mage wields his plus-five holy avenger.
Lois Griffin: Paladin's can't use the helm of disintegration.
Peter Griffin: Oh. Then, I'm a black guuuuy.

BritneySpears14: Hey...

bloodninja: I meditate to regain my mana, before casting Lvl. 8 Cock of the Infinite.

BritneySpears14: Funny I still don't see it.

bloodninja: I spend my mana reserves to cast Mighty F*ck of the Beyondness.

BritneySpears14: You are the worst cyber partner ever. This is ridiculous.

bloodninja: Don't f*ck with me bitch, I'm the mightiest sorcerer of the lands.

bloodninja: I steal yo soul and cast Lightning Lvl. 1,000,000 Your body explodes into a fine bloody mist, because you are only a Lvl. 2 Druid.

BritneySpears14: Don't ever message me again you piece of ****.

bloodninja: Robots are trying to drill my brain but my lightning shield inflicts DOA attack, leaving the robots as flaming piles of metal.

bloodninja: King Arthur congratulates me for destroying Dr. Robotnik's evil army of Robot Socialist Republics. The cold war ends. Reagan steals my accomplishments and makes like it was cause of him.

indeed both of these are problems also if some one (like me) did finaly get up the courage to talk to some one and things went well the chances of it working out and being close enough to keep dating are fairly slim....

now wait, i think this might be able to be turned into something entertaining - it could be like a game show done on the concourse stage. 

staff would get to pick contestants so that they arent to pervy or creepy looking. 

winner (male or female... uh, lets face it, male) contestant would win some sort of prize and the possibility of a date with the person asking the questions.

forget the speed dating setting, make it a gameshow.  "Otaku Love Connection" or something.

Title: Re: Blind Date
Post by: satanic_mechanic on September 12, 2008, 10:43:13 PM
i think keeping the contestants into something like three or four year ranges, for example, if the girl was 19, the max age for contestants would be 22, if she was 20, 23, etc. 

the great thing is that we could have multiple age ranges - it could go as far up as possible so long as there are contestants within that age range.

OR we could use the XKCD age range equation.

in addition, i think it would be alot more entertaining then the programming that takes place on center stage as is.  this would actually gather crowds, instead of just showing videos or having other weird game shows that people just walk by.

I think that would be okay if it was a pre-organized, small event with certain people...not just random people on stage zero. You could have a guy and 3 girls and 1 girl with 3 guys. I think that would be more FEASIBLE than room with bunch of random horny guys...and gals.
