An update on the cosplay rules.

I'm planning to take a sword that I bought while traveling through Inner-Mongolia.

However, there are a few rules regarding the carrying and use of weapons at the convention.

The rules are posted right at the top of the policies page:

http://www.nadwcon.org/policies.html

Basicly, any real weapon can only be carried during the Masquerade and will have to be "peace bonded". I assume that means that it'll be taped or sealed in some manner so you can't remove it. Also, they can't be "very sharp", whatever that means.

Any fake weapons have to be demonstrated upon entering the Masquerade room.

There was a lot of annoyed people at one of the previous DW conventions when they had a total weapons ban. There's a guy who dresses as Cohen and he has a HUGE sword. He was not at all pleased.

Who are you going as?
Are you wearing a tight, sexy, short, skimpy little number?

How, exactly, do people demonstrate that the weapons are blunt?

Skimpy little numbers cannot hide swords, pooh!

I guess you have to stab yourself. If you don't die, you can take it in.

Better don't let your imagination loose around here or it'll end up killing someone...

Same with Trish wanting to smack Tony. I think it's just the violence inherited in the US system, brought on from too much TV and food additives.

What? You mean unlike the Japanese?

--- On second thought, I decided to remove this image ---















WARNING: the preceding images contain graphic violence and should not have been viewed by people who have been cloistered and spoon-fed happy pink thoughts by Disney.

 

[Tina a.k.a.SusanSto.Helit]

excuse me while I vomit. please don't put the warning on the bottom. I was trying to be funny, not evil.

 

[Tonyblack]

I didn't see the pictures you posted kakaze but from Tina's reaction and the rest of your post I can guess what they might have been like.

Please remember that this is a family forum. Terry Pratchett's books appeal to all ages and therefore some of our members are quite young.

Please think before you post. That goes for all of us here.

Tony.

 

[Cheery]

I can still see it. Or is it another one now?

I have to think before I post?! Oh fiddlesticks!

Anyway, kakaze removed them coz obviously he realised, so no harm done.

As for the other picture, whatever consenting adults do in their own home is entirely up to them! 8)

There is still one picture that is arguably not too violent and I can probably be left there unless there are any objections.

 

[Tina a.k.a.SusanSto.Helit]

Thank you kakaze, my imagination is too good. I cannot watch gory films or read Stephen King. I agree with Carrot, in your own home if you wanna hang by your toes, it's all good. I can't even watch Transformers without bad dreams.

 

[Tina a.k.a.SusanSto.Helit]

I promise no more spanky thoughts. :shudder: I did not think about it. I only meant it in a teasing sort of way. Sorry.

 

[poohbcarrot]

Don't worry about it Tina, you don't have to apologise. Teasing is a very British way of life. If I had to apologise every time I teased someone I wouldn't ever get any work done or see my kids.


You can have as many spanking thoughts as you like.
I am quite honoured to think that someone in the US has regular spanking thoughts about me. 8) You can even have day-glo paint thoughts as well if you want :shudder: (Mind you, that's a thought to really give you bad dreams :twisted: )

 

[Tonyblack]

Yeah the British sense of humour can seem a little strange to people who aren't used to it and I've seen it cause a lot of misunderstandings on the Internet.

I certainly know of an American friend of mine on another board who used to get very upset thinking that people were being nasty to her. I spent a lot of time on MSN trying to convince her otherwise.

Smilies are your friends in theses cases.
