v How are you feeling tonight?

I haven't received notification yet for mine. Then again, I wasn't able to call to be placed on the waiting list until much later in the day as I was stuck at work.

Apparently people booked 5 different rooms because they can sell it to other convention goers. So here I am looking for a room to buy from you. Preferably the hilton that can room 6 people. Friday through Monday is what I'm looking for.

Just post it here and I'll get back to you.

I discourage giving scalpers your business. I have no respect for greedy people who feel the need to book extra hotels only to sell them later. Is there any way Fanime can regulate this next year? So many people are on waiting lists without a room, meanwhile you have scalpers squirreling away 5 rooms like vultures. It just isn't right.

Right on! Thanks for the link. Broken Branch peaks my curiosity, I'll have to give it a try come Fanime time.

Lost a bet with my sister tonight so I've added a new cosplay to my list. I am not quite sure why she is so persistent to see me as Zorro, but a man must honor all of his bets.

Tanq bar? I'm down! Has a date and time been established yet? Also, what does the drink selection look like?

I am wondering where on my desk I put those papers.

So my cousin is a little scared to ask but me and my 2 cousins are going to Fanime this year and he was wondering if even though he is 17 will he be able to get in by having my other cousin with him who is 21 years old or if he can call his mom and have her give permission, if Hentai night/room whatever it is will be featured this year. Thanks for the help with this question

I know this sucks man, but unfortunately for anything "hentai" related the rules have always been very strict about 18+. This includes the hentai room, any Swap Meet sellers distributing hentai require an ID confirming 18+, as well as Dealer's Hall and Artist Alley vendors selling 18+ material.

He'll have to wait until next year.

My car radio replaces letters at random in poor weather. I just listened to a song on the way home that my radio claimed was titled "Hey Nggle". Childish laughter ensued.

^ Referencing "Radioactive"? I'm going to quietly pretend my little sister didn't send me that song a few weeks ago hahaha

v What kind of phone/plan are you on? How do you like it?

Rum trades? I dabble in rum quite a bit when I'm at home, one may even say I am an expert in such rum-related matters. One final thing with no disrespect but I am always a Scott and never a Scotty. Gracious thanks for welcoming me to your Kingdom.

The best way of eliminating poverty from the Kingdom is cutting away all the unnecessary loose ends.

I am fine with Treasurer if the Kingdom sees fit to appoint me with said title.

There are assigned forum titles? Neat! Can I have the title of 'Financial Adviser'? Royal kingdoms need monetary management!  :)

I don't understand why people would be either worried or upset. They have the ability to register, obtain a hotel, and participate on the Fanime forums for additional information which is being updated daily. There is also a Facebook link and a Twitter link where updates are being posted. The rest of the site should come together smoothly, as far as I know there have never been any issues with putting it together in the 20 years that Fanime has been running.

I have faith in the reliable and professional Fanime staff to take care of any and all minor issues that arise. They've done a fantastic job for 20 years and this year will be no different. There really is no need to discuss it, the staff moderator Ewu has already posted that they will be monitoring chargebacks. If it turns into a larger issue they are more than capable of either deleting the posts made by kyunaHARU or they can also lock any threads that become problematic. Personally I am hoping they lock this thread to prevent further issues because the main question in this topic, the issue of badge refunds, has already been settled, there are no refunds. Apologies to EllaMit24 for the derailment of your initial question.

I was under the impression that the website was already up, the only things missing are misc registrations. Time could be better spent? Of course it could be! But let us just be realistic here for a moment. How many people do you really think are going to try and use this as a loophole? They would have to either know about the option prior to the forums, which in that case the forum post means absolutely nothing, OR they would have to come here and read through everything, see everyone stating that it won't work and is a waste of time and then foolishly try to attempt it anyway.

Now even if a handful of people are dumb enough to do that most banks as I stated a few posts back will not allow false refunds. I imagine most of those claims would be stopped at a bank level first before they reached Fanime Staff. Essentially it shouldn't be too difficult for a staff of Fanime's quantity to handle. I would also give more credit to Fanime con-goers, the majority of them would not want to do anything to harm or scam the convention they've been attending for years and risk the resulting consequences.

Oh! Awesome I will have to take a look at some of the forum games. Is it alright for me to create a "Get To Know Me" thread on the Forum Games or should I stick with posting responses to the games already present?  ???

Nah, everybody had problems with it.

Ahhh, good to know! I kept worrying it was my terrible internet connection hahaha.  :)
