This idea spawned from the Speed Dating thread and then I started a new thread suggesting it as a show for Stage Zero and then it turned out be a better and more appropriate idea to have it as an actual 18+ panel, and thus it has arrived here.
Ideas are still in the works and there's over 300 days to come up with improvements or additions, but feel free to contribute your own ideas and check out the thread suggesting it for Stage Zero.

This would be super exciting, and has my full support! :'D

hahaha. After reading up to this point. I just thought that it'd be kinda a cool to see one of those dating-game shows at Fanime, where they put 3 bachelors behind a screen and the bachelorette asks the three guys the same questions from the other side and at the end of the show she picks the mystery bachelor she likes most.

I actually think this is bloody brilliant!
I think it would be hilarious and fun at the very least.
I wish we could have a re-do.
I don't want to wait a year for another chance!
Haha.

I was surprise how small the speed dating room was, hopefully next year they at least quadruple the size of it.
I thought it was the right size, given the amount of people. But that's just me.
well knightfire, the thing for us is that we had almost all of our ppl
like wat ash_chan said, their group had a lot of ppl missin
so if the staff could guarantee that all the ppl would be there
than yea maybe we could get a bigger table

Sounds like it might make for a great stage zero event
hahaha. I can already imagine it.
It could also go the other way where there would be one bachelor and three bachelorettes.
now THAT would be itneresting to see as a stage zero
omg we could totally do that next year
since our group was the initial guinnea (i dnt think i spelled that right..) pigs for the speed dating event
:)

Here is an example of how it might go down
--------------------
Bachelor: Bacheloreete 1, are you for SasuNaru?
*all of the Bacheloretters squeal*
*Girls in audience scream yaoi*
who cares what happens after that...

Bachelorette: I am sakura, and you are sasuke, how would you hit on me?
Bachelor 1: Baby, you know how I am very sensitive. Your one touch can will turn on my curse seal and spread it on my body faster than I get my Chidori on.
Bachelor 2: My sharingans may cast illusions, but my love for is more real than annoyance is in Naruto. You know his and my kiss meant nothing to me, what I really want is you.
Bachelor 3: The way you lay your eyes on me, its more thrilling than when Orochimaru laid the curse on me.

daiphyer.com: iono if they would let us do a stage zero event if questions were along THOSE lines
gotta keep it at least PG or PG-13 or osmething :p
unless u make it an 18+ event
than that would be funny
hahahahahaha :D
Quote from: daiphyer.com on June 06, 2010, 11:35:02 AM
If u want a pg version, then that would be:
Bachlorette: I am fighting a water type pokemon, which pokemon should I use?
Bachelor 1: I would go with Charizard be-
*me in the audience goes "Woo-hoo. CHARIZARD!!!!" *
Bachelorette: Bachelor 2, ur response.
Bachelor 2: It would defnitely be Dragonite.
*some random fangirl squeals*
Bachelor 2: yeh! Dragonite has that electricity, which would pretty much zap any pokemon to smitherin. Dragonite is so awesome! Anyway, like, I have this plushie of him in my room. sometime, I like huggle and cuddle with him. When I get real-real bored, I start to have a tea part with him and my other poke-
Bachelorette: NEXT!
Bachelor 3: Can it be a Digimon? Pokemon are just no match for the digimons. Greymon alone can whip dragonite down and put some sense in PsyDuck.

If we do that I totally want to sign up! <3

The question is would this be a serious thing, or all in jest?
I think if it were to be another semi-serous dating thing, it shouldn't be on Stage Zero, but rather a panel as anything dating related really has to be 18+ I believe. Or at least 16+...
If we wanted it to be more audience participation, we could pick the participants from the crowd or something...
You're right. If this is an actual dating game then it would have to be an 18+ panel.
Quote from: ash_chan on June 13, 2010, 03:11:22 PM
Yeah. Going along the lines of the number pulling, I figure it would work something like this:
Everyone gets a number. Panel opens, someone opens, gives the rules, etc. A contestant's number is pulled. We blindfold him/her so they don't know what the 3(?) bachelor/bachelorettes look like (if the original dating game sort of thing is the move we want to pull. I think it's best, but others may disagree) and then we pull numbers for the bachelors or bacheloretes. We sit them on chairs/stools/etc, and they have like 4 or 5 questions and then the contestant gets to choose the winner, pull off the blindfold he/she sees who they chose and then we move to the next set.
Something like that?

I think that would really be more appropriate as a skit in the masquerade than on Stage Zero (which already tends to be overbooked I've noticed.)
I think we're on to something with the 18+ Panel deal, I think should the panel get up and running as a serious deal, it would be a lot of fun! And it would be more open-access than the speed dating was, where you really had to be online at the right time to be accepted. With the panel, it's first show up @con, first served (receiving numbers wise).
Plus there's that competitive game spirit that people love. We could always have like consolation prizes (a picture of a cute girl/boy) for the bachelor/bachelorettes that don't get chosen or something like that. Make it fun for all (who are 18 and up).
A great way to maybe spawn some fanime romance and make friends along the way!
I do think it would be better accepted as a panel, and probably more appropriate there than on Stage Zero. We were limited on our displays due to a PG-13 rating for those hanging around unless it was late hours, and yes we are pretty booked. ._.' Er, they are I guess. :P But I think it would certainly make for a fun panel if the right people run it and stuff~
I also support this idea. OHOHO, what mystery ^-^
SUPPORTING.
Thanks for the support guys!
I am actually willing to host this, now, but I'm not much of a public speaker. :P
Heh, sounds like fun XD
If I'm able, I'd be totally willing to help out if needed, and if nothing else I'll come watch! :D
.
I support it, and would also be happy to help with it.
id be happy to help since im too young to attend. if you need any assistance feel free to contact me :]

If its a Panel - it just has to be approved by the Panel Head and their department.
Again theyre mostly looking for appropriate context and conduct as this said panel event.
you may want to look over the rules and regulations of what is and isnt allowed during Panels and stuff.
.
^ Thanks, Hisuitsume. I'll be counting on you.
Here's one thing that I've been going over my head. Participants...I was thinking that we'd pre-register participants like speed dating, but afterward, email the eligible ones a time and place to meet at con, preferably a day before the panel itself. Gentlemen will meet at a different time than the ladies in order to keep anonymity. During the meets we'll throw out a short coaching session with examples and what-not. After that, we'll have a lottery* to see which of the participants will be up at which times and on which side of the screen. I want to incorporate participants on-the-spot but I don't know where nor how to put them in. Ideas, anyone?
*The lottery system will be a box with tickets or balls and the color of the ticket or ball will decide when and where they go. The participants will reach in and grab one.
^That sounds good, buuuuut...
I'm thinking that if you preregister the participants, people might not show up who weren't selected, and I thought it was more of an audience participation sort of panel. I still go for the boy hat, girl hat we pull numbers before they come up. We could go through a quick overview with rules and examples to the audience before picking a bachelor/bachelorette, covering their eyes, then calling the 3 bachelor/bachelorettes up before unblindfolding them or whatever.
By the by, I volunteer to help co-host and/or what not should this get it's feet off the ground. :]
.
^ Yeah. That's good. We want to get everybody in ASAP and maximize time. However, I since this panel would be an 18+ panel it would be late at night--the last one for the day, would it be alright for this panel to go over a few minutes? I thought that set up for this panel would seem easy. I mean, all we really need are four chairs and a screen/curtain, and a mic and maybe some background music. Or is there more to this? I already thought about the pre-made questions and answers and that will be in the players' hands to use if they can't think of any, themselves. Speaking of which, anyone want to help think up of some questions and answers to use? Posting them on the board might spoil the game and so, just PM them to me. It's absolutely fine if you can't think of more questions or answers I'll think up what I can or PM them to anyone else that is helping to think up some.
Here is example of yuri/yaoi dating game http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R5mumztq370&fmt=18
^hahaha. That was good, especially the second part!
Which still leaves me deciding...would we want to keep it cosplay or anyone?

Hmmm.... If it was just for cosplayers...
Pros:
Fewer people can enter (fewer people to deal with)
Cosplayers would be in character (more fun imho)
Easier to come up with gags?
Cons:
Fewer people can enter (if you really want to have a large selection)
Some people have trouble being in character while in cosplay, that or it may get boring being in character
Easier to come up with gags?
Honestly it's an opinion thing, I'm just trying to spark thoughts in others. I have no real idea on what would be true...(I'm not a funny person, but I wish I was! xD)
I was confused in the first part of the video because she said girl cosplayers: cosplaying AS a girl or just is a girl who is cosplaying? xDDD
I think it should be anyone.
Making it cosplay only adds difficulties, and I thought that we had come to the conclusion that this was for srs business (Well, as serious as con dating goes, anyway. xD) and not just for kicks. Though if this is just for sh*ts and giggles, cosplay only would be cool I guess? Though I think it would quickly go sour depending on what characters were up and the questions could get out of hand...not to mention the fangirls/boys... *shudder*
^ True.
So I take it that you'll be my wingman, ash_chan?
Yup. I'm so on this. ;]
It has been a while since I have been on, is the Dating show still in the works?
The last I checked, there was a debate over whether the contestants had to be in cosplay or not, and that was a month ago.
ash_chan: i hope u remember me!! i would love to be part of this because it sounds soo amusing and so much fun! i would also love to help host and help in anyway possible
c2chaos: please let us kno if u need any help
I CANT WAIT FOR THIS TO HAPPEN!
and the regular speed dating event as well :)
Thank you so much, kitty!
I could always use some help coming up with questions that could get some funny or wild answers. These will be put on a cue card for the bachelor/bachelorette to use if they can't come up with their own on the spot.
Hisuitsume, would it be a problem if someone else were to register the panel under their name with another assistant and I co-host it with them?
sorry for the trouble but i am no good at the making up questions part
but the panelist/assistant part i woudl love to help wit
it might seem forward of me
but id love to actually be up there wit the panel ppl or something
iono...i wanna help but then id bungle up some things that im not great at
im sorry that its such a trouble >_<
I totally support this idea! It sound super awesome and I can't wait to attend this dating game show :D

It doesn't matter who registers the panel, beyond that being the point of contact me and my staff will use when setting up the panel. Basically, whoever submits the panel 'owns' it, and any changes to it have to be approved by them. Hopefully that makes sense. :)
Thank you, Rena~ (^o^)
hahah. Sounds funny. I would help but I'm not sure what I could contribute XD
I'd be a willing participant though.
You could hand out slips of paper and have audience write some questions in as well. But of course you're going to want a good pool of questions just in case people don't really have anything to contribute.
That's a great idea! I didn't even think of that! Thank you, Meever! (^o^)
How're things going on this?
I've been dealing with my grandfathers death so I haven't really be up to speed on all this. xD

dude, if you still got stage fright as up to this point, i'll volunteer to do it. I got a lot of "public speaking" experience. Although it was to the numbers of 20 or so, but numbers won't matter.
Perhaps we should have a meeting to discuss what we want to do with this? If it hasn't already been submitted, we have to get on it and I think a meeting would be a good way of getting everything settled at once.
Hey I don't know how far you guys are into this, but if you need a host I'd be more than willing to help! I'm also hosting The Dub Show contest this year, and I have plenty of experience hosting events such as UC Santa Barbara's Digital Film Festival. Plus I've been doing Stand Up Comedy for 2+ years and I've performed at tons of clubs in LA and Ventura.
I also performed at Animation on Display if anyone remembers me ;D
God that sounded egotistical... :(
I think it doesn't matter if you cosplay or not
And I do think there should be a yaoi/yuri part
I'd be willing to participate
Is this an official panel yet?
I would LOVE this to be a real event, adds some extra boost to the con craziness AND it introduces a new way for people to meet and get to know each other :D

I'm going to stick as host as to better myself. I've handle a hundred before, a few more can't be all that bad. Although having more hands on deck will help make the panel go smoother still.

I'm not quite sure how we will have a meeting for this. I live quite a distance away from the bay area. About 200+ miles. :(
It would be best that we have an online meeting. Make a chat room or something and set a date and time.
I have thought about having yuri/yaoi parts and I would like to bring that up as the next topic for discussion/vote. :)
Also, I have already submitted an application, so all there is left is to wait for the news. Cross your fingers guys! t(>_<)t
online meeting would be for the best
as im currently studying abroad in china and i wont be back in the states until the end of april
heres to hoping that it gets approved!!!
I support this idea so badly XD
Hey everyone - just to let you know...
After a lot of consideration, we decided that at least for this year, we are not going to approve any dating panels (there were 2 or 3 submitted to us). The closest we've come is approving one panel that was offering up a single date as a prize. We are a little bit dubious as to whether or not people would actually enjoy being put to the test in some sort of dating thing in front of a large audience. We are certainly willing to reconsider the idea for next year, since it seems so popular, but for this year, we're going to hold off.
Please feel free to discuss here.
However, the General Programming division might still hold a speed dating event similar to last year's popular speed dating event. Last I heard, there was a space set aside for it to happen, but no one had been found to run the event. I've forwarded all panel submissions for dating panels to the head of General Programming for consideration. I haven't heard anything back yet, so that's all the information I can give you for now.
If you're interested in running the event outside of a panel room, and without an audience, you might want to come to the next Fanime General Meeting - which will be held on April 10th. You should be able to speak to the head of GP at that meeting, and ask any questions you might have on the subject.
Aww..that's a disappointment. (-_-)
Yeah. I wanted to hear from Speed Dating before I submitted an application but I guess nobody was home, and I went through with it anyway. :/
However, nonetheless, thank you, Rena. I will try again next year.
we still have a chance at next year
but it makes sense
speed dating only started last year
so a dating show panel seemed like a bit of the stretch
its okay!
we can do speed dating and still all meet up and have fun :)
thank u rena for letting us kno how things actually are this year
still lookin forward to fanime, panels and all :D
Is there going to be speed-dating this year and is there a thread for it? And do I have to have registered for a badge to sign up for speed-dating?
