[Avairrianna]

I vote for freeze tag as the game we play! ^^

[MidnightRosebud]

As for the games, I would like to see either Twister or Freeze Tag. You can never beat the classics. 8)
Oh! And I'm trying to get everyone's opinion on this:

Let me know what you think, please!  :D

[BrightHeart76]

MidnightRoseBud you're link doesn't work.  What are you trying to get an opinion about?

[redroses3164]

I definitely would love to play freeze tag~! I haven't played that since elementary days. =) and that can involve a lot of people at once. :3

For lunch, I think people should just branch out on their own if they wanna eat out. I'm probably gonna go with my friend to eat and if I meet some people at the gathering, we can all go eat out together. ^_^

[Dragon Ninja]

I like the idea of Bingo.

As for Lunch, I think a picnic would be good. We could branch out to get food and then meet up again to eat together.

  In order to make Freeze Tag more interesting I suggest that a 3-person(or 4-person like Shippudden) squad be it. In my opinion I think it'd be cool to see everyone vs. three. We could all draw sticks and the people w/three short sticks are "It". Then after the 1st round the last three (or four) that froze are it. This will be good way to practice team work(i.e. how to defrost someone and keep your self away from the squad that's "It".
  P.S. What does everyone think about my idea for Freeze Tag(Naruto style)!?

(random: I love Genshiken! One of my favorite manga out there because it's so true to otaku lifestyle XD It hits right at home. =3)

I really like your idea for Freeze Tag: Naruto-style. I dunno about the point of just a 3-person squad as "it" since it depends on how many people are playing. We might have a LOT of people who wanna play so it depends who's interested. Most likely though, it'll probably suffice.
Would there be rules like "You can only unfreeze your own 3-person squad" because then it would make the game more challenging. If you could unfreeze whoever, the people who are "it" would be "it" for a long time.

  Domoarigato redroses3164. I think the rule you thought of would make Freeze Tag: Naruto-Style even more fun&interesting. I have sent a PM to BrightHeart76 about establishing  rules for Freeze Tag: (Naruto-Style). I have another Rule) The squad that's "It" can only freeze someone by making contact with hand(s).

  P.S. Does anyone else have any rules for Freeze Tag: ( Naruto-Style ) ???

[BrightHeart76]

Naruto Freeze Tag is fine by me.  Narutotaku is the go to guy for rules and organization for it.   ;D

I think I'm also going to do Naruto Bingo that morning.  I'll contact the table gaming people to see if we can use a table in the gaming room that morning.  It'll be a nice way for people to meet up before the gathering and then we can head out in a group for the gathering (or leave early to join Freeze Tag).

I guess that leaves lunch up in the air.  Personally I think everyone should get / bring their own lunch and we can all meet up somewhere for a picnic kind of thing.  Is there a park near the convention center?

Obviously it's not required that you go to the picnic or play the games if you go to gathering, just another way to extend the fun.   :D

PS I'll update the cosplay list today or tomorrow.  I will probably not be able to update next week because I'm moving into my new apartment a week from today (YAY!)

PPS Narutotaku, of COURSE I've watched Genshiken!  LOL, it's awesome!  And thank you for being so proactive in helping make the gathering a fun event this year.   ;D

I must be blind but I see no Gaara!  I am coming as Kazekage Gaara - and I'd love to join a TJ group for the photos.

Konychiwa fragiledreamer,

  What exactly is a "TJ group" ???

Aah me and my strange chicagoan ways.  TJ = Time Jump / Shippuuden

edit: or rather a group of people cosplaying shippuuden

... i'm guessing you read the really really small print huh? To answer your question, you've done NOTHING WRONG. I shall control the Naruto Barrel!

[BrightHeart76]

Naruto Bingo is a GO!!  I just spoke with the Department Head of Table Top Gaming and we have tables for Naruto Bingo starting at 11:00 and ending at Noon on the day of the gathering! 

There WILL be prizes (at least for the first few rounds, time and funds will tell how many rounds I'll be able to get prizes for...anyone who can provide extra prizes is forever my hero).  Please let me know if you are definately going to participate so that I can keep Table Top Gaming informed.

You say that now, but you do realize that you're just making yourself a bigger target, right?

[Baker!-!]

um im still gonna be neji

[BrightHeart76]

Last cosplay update 'till after I move.  We're definately starting to fill out the cast.  YAY!  The more the merrier.   ;D

So far we have two games planned for the official gathering.  Is anyone still interested in Twister?  If so someone needs to bring their Twister game. 

I know I keep saying it, but I really think this is going to be a GREAT gathering!  Looking forward to it.   ;D

[redroses3164]

Bingo? How exactly will that work? The only kind of Bingo I can think up is when you have the letters of BINGO for each column and then the numbers that correspond to their specific columns.
I don't get how you're making it Naruto-related. Just curious. =)

Anyway, have fun moving to your new place BrightHeart!

(About Twister, not a big fan of that game. Just my opinion though.)
