Call to Action: Comic Cons

[Moonfyire101]

I got a kinda good idea to go along with the Cons If you see an NCsoft booth or panel, find a way up to the mic or a mic and say "I'ma let you finish but NCsoft should sell City of Heroes." and then walk off. Or something like that.

I tried to get a panel but i was too late, they are overbooked but that is an interesting idea, just steal a min....wonder if i'd get kicked out.

Probably? But the message you'd deliver in those few seconds would have to be pitch-perfect to resonate with more than one or two people. I'm not saying that it shouldn't have been (or still be) done, but...plan out what to say very carefully if you find yourself with a soap box like that to stand on. :)

Good luck this weekend Dallas!

Any ideas? In case i feel brave enough to get kicked out? I want to pass out all my flyers first and talk to all the people about it.

Honestly, I wouldn't do anything that would get you kicked out, especially if that comes off as you being an annoyance and turning opinion against you.  But if NCsoft is there (are they?), it certainly wouldn't hurt to spend some good handing-out-flyer time around their booths and/or presentations.

Drop me a PM if you need more flyers or anything, I'm willing to help out on that.

Tony, I pm'd you the printers i use. I ordered 500 but i don't pay or pick them up till next week. You can call and change the order if you want, add stuff and what not. Thanks. I wasn't expecting help so i only ordered that much cause that's all i can scrape together right now. I can do sunday also if i have left over flyers. Sundays only $20 admission. As i stated i have a free pass for Saterday.

Also, if anyone else is gonna be there you can help me, I'll need your phone numbers to set stuff up and more flyers printed so we can cover more ground.

Actually, I'm kinda turning it around; I need folks to let me know what they need.  I don't know how big Youmacon is or how many of what materials you want to distribute.  I guess I was just saying that if there's something you need that you don't have, let me know, and I'll try to do what I can to support you.

[Moonfyire101]

Oh, ok...I'm gonna make a call to the worker who's getting me in free to do the flyers then to ask if i need more. I'll let you know. If i don't need anymore i can cover this. It's $58 for the 500 full color flyers.

Having done....hundreds of conventions...just ask if you can stand in the lobby or near the gaming or dealers room on Friday and Sunday passing out flyers.  I really do not think that anyone will have any problem with you doing that.  Realistically speaking the badge/membership is just to restrict the panels and other activities to paying members.  Anyone can stand in the lobby or a hallway.  Double check with ConOps, but I bet they will let you.

So is anyone for sure going to youmacon this saterday? I'd like to meet you there and give you half the flyers to help out if you want. I'll be there from 11am or noon to 2am. Will be there sunday too if i have flyers left.

Please point them to the Voices from Paragon effort I am conducting.

Here at World Fantasy I have been giving out flyers with every autograph, gave several people stacks of flyers to distribute at comic shops at their homes and left stacks of flyers at the flyer table.  Actually had someone ask about the shutdown and the Titan efforts at our special guest panel.

thats quite awesome, at least its getting the word out and that alone could prolly make a big dent in ncsofts already faltering image

Especially if she talks to a few local authors known to hang out at a certain Toronto book store. If you ask Robert J. Sawyer (I *know* he is putting in an appearance), he'd be happy to direct you, since he used to work there.

[Moonfyire101]

So Saterday I had no camera and i stood or walked from 9 am to 2 am passing out flyers and talking to people but Sunday i brought Rockdeadman/Mike Dynamo with me to help...only had 4 hrs of sleep but here's the pics. The rest are at this link http://s791.beta.photobucket.com/user/vmieu/library/Youmacon%202012?view=media#/user/vmieu/library/Youmacon%202012?&_suid=1352075466262020249793713686315 I didn't want to post 60 pics here. In advance...I'm tired sorry if i misspell stuff or say stuff in an incoherent way. Oh, everyone is interested in the gamers bill of rights thing we are working on.


Saturday some of the guys from Thatguywiththeglasses.com were there and i bought a dvd from them, had them sign it, then gave them some flyers and asked them if they'd plug cohtitan and #savecoh for us. Since many of the people on the site review games i thought this was a good idea. They didn't say yes but they didn't say no either. I hope they do it.

This guy had suggestions for us. He said it sounds like they have a legal issue. Hire a lawyer, or find one that plays, and ask them to see if there are legal issues tying up the ip. He said they could have lawsuits pending on it based on how abruptly it was closed and the way they are handling it. He said maybe someone owns part of it and they can't legally sell it or something. He also said that modders are the best people for us to get to help build the new game. They can make it similar without breaking any laws and they are good at it.

This table was a game company from Wisconsin called Gaming Generation and they let us put flyers on their table. They do a charity to bring games to kids with cancer. CoX would have been perfect for them! They provide computers and consoles to cancer kids to bring the gaming community to them becase they may be picked on by other kids in real live because they are different but on the game they are just like everyone else. This is a cool charity and it's called Better>Gaming if anyone is interested. facebook.com/betterthangaming
