Tumblr convention. It has failed because firs tit's a first convention, second they asked for $17k for 'hotel fees' that went into organizers pockets. People got leery and most did not come, even the guests who are supposed to bring in fans never came and we get this Piers of a convention.

Holy shit. What a shame, I imagine a Tumblr convention could've been quiet successful if done properly...

I was reading about this over the weekend and it sounds like the biggest mess and I can't stop reading about it.

Like Shin said, it's a failed convention and the organizers mighta sorta possibly bilked their fans out of $17k but it's so much more than that.

Apparently they didn't even book some of the guests they claimed they'd have, and the ones that did show up found out that they weren't going to have their expenses paid as promised. Turns out some of the weird consolation stuff they were trying to do to appease the people who attended might actually be opening them up for lawsuits.

I honestly can't tell if the people who were running it are malicious or incompetent or just completely overwhelmed. Maybe a mixture of the three?

gigawuts
Jul 15, 2014, 07:35 AM
It sounds like a mixture of the three. They maliciously wanted to steal a little bit out of the pot, were too incompetent to know how much was too much to take, and were completely overwhelmed when they realized they fucked up.

Now the real question: Why not just put the money they stole back in to try to patch it up?

Surely they didn't already spend all of it...

But yeah I feel like this is for the best. Give it a couple mediocre years and the damages could've been a whole lot worse than $17k.

ShinMaruku
Jul 15, 2014, 11:04 AM
It's all three. You can't just fuck people over with $17,000 and not know how to cover it up. The first two combined with the third one made it a disaster. But really tumblr is not quite a community, and when you fuck up on this blog like thing, news will spread like fire and it becomes much worse.

And the story behind the ballpit (Which is actually a inflatable pool half full with balls ) is they were planning to charge for extended stays in the ball pit, the consolidation is "Oh it's free now mates" This thing is BAD.

Notice how that was for fun by him, not a legit question. Didn't really need a real answer because the real answer isn't as fun and was already said so there's room to talk about other stuff however you want to, remember what forum you're in. Tell me I can't post jokes and tell me what to post, and then think about what you just said. Parody thread titles, lack of respect for... them? I think you need to explain a lot more after that. "Giga kun," come on son. You are not Japanese. They don't even do that and that's not his name. He can make a fun post open ended, but I can't, what quote him? Is that what you're mad about.

You are trying to figure out a for fun answer to a for fun barely a question. And only negative, going in expecting it to be bad. You can find whatever you want when you make stuff up and have already made up your mind.[/spoiler-box] You got all of that out of 25~27 words if you take IRL as a whole? I never knew about your sleuthing abilities. Good to know. Didn't need the judgment thing though.

Notice how you did not correctly discern the joke. Joke was for whoever liked it. Negative stuff you are putting there, is not there. Why'd you do that? Peer pressure?

The 'high kicks club' is easily seen how its the same group of "friends" who don't participate in other threads and are spamming FKL about things nobody care about, in their own forums. PSO meseta gold farming. Someone who managed to swindle $17 k is the same thing. Those people are richer than you! They put down other people: friends and non-friends alike instead of having good times with them, using that money for the betterment of all. All in the name of the worst part of PSU where that kinda started with shops and gear prices set by the market. Meseta was more important than making friends and playing the game with them. In the end wouldn't you rather have friends than fake money?

I don't even know if its even friends. The same guy makes all the threads, nobody makes one for him! He is that bored. So, bored high kicks club topic spams which you like. Ok. All other topics FKL has ever had, not okay. I'm sure FKL will follow your likes and wants from here on out now Rock. Cool. Respect for them. If I used to have respect for you, I don't have it now nor do you want me to.

Maybe you wrote that too fast since you spelled things incorrectly and shit too. Maybe you didn't mean it or even know what you're talking about. I haven't talked to you in months so how would I know, thanks for telling me how you really feel out of nowhere. Weird, angsty though. I thought we were cool?!

[spoiler-box]
You didn't see that negative part of those threads? Are you participating in them for a circle jerk of more content, even if its garbage clique bad vibes? Don't worry anime draw man, I don't click them anymore.

Yeah, someone is "richer" than you in a bad game with nothing to buy fake money with.

$17,000 and nothing to buy with it. Or all around fucked up priorities no idea what they're doing. Maybe it starts with the creators and server managers of the game... hmm.

HAYABUSA-FMW-
Jul 21, 2014, 03:05 PM
You only get this credit Rock. Its not even negative. Well until this guy wants to flamebait twice, so he wants 2 reponses back. I don't anticipate making any more if the staff stops further problems and finds out what is his problem.

Yeah
---------------

I'd imagine that is what those threads over there in FKL look like if you guys ever met in Real Life. But since you are never going to, I don't think you can make fun of people who are.

Actin like weaboo gay guys pretending to be girls online is new and exciting.

Olaf wouldn't show up because "They'res girls there!" and he ain't never even, those, ever, as a lifestyle choice, spaghetti. Despite wanting to only talk about them all day 24/7 and being mad if we don't. Like he tells us like everyday in his crying. And he never thinks that reflects poorly on him, post backfire because it exposes how much his whole existence sucks... emo ball of weird fatguy nerd.

The Klumps at the Dinner table expressed it pretty well and it is very pertinent.

We always know what you're talking about. "Forever alone" virgin online girl chasing stuff. But does anyone ever want to hear that? Can't you actually find better places for that? PSO is just for playing dress up and shooting monsters in bad games. Go try to have cybersex somewhere else.

What @_@ we are cool though I assume everyone I joke around with are terrible people with questioinable senses of humor so negativity loosely gets thrown around everywhere. In actuality I have no clue what you're talking about 90% of the time, it's just fun inserting anything into anything. But now I'm questioning whether or not that was indirectly racist.


Also I'm the one that has no respect for all these newnilla threads. I was actually being "positive" about the condescending no respect thing" I mean why would have those things for a chunk of the threads you mentioned... but... it's not serious enough to be worth talking about. I just assumed most people related. But I would've found your wall of text faster if anything here was worth a "what I REALLY think of you" sort of conversation.

Dunno what I did or said to lose your "respect" but ehn, can't please everyone, especially if you've never had a real direct conversation with them.

I come here to say stupid things that make no sense just like everyone else that doesn't take anything here seriously. Only "angst" I vent here is at bad game design and people that lash out at me cause of petty overreactions to misunderstanding about generalizations and semantics about things that aren't important, which I haven't had in a while... unless this counts.

Tell me this doesn't count as that...

Oh and overusing+miss-using "kun" (mostly just kun) is inside joke branched off of a meme only made funny again to myself through inside jokes, from an inside joke that turned into a meme that turned into an inside joke.

Love is a two-way street, need lots of communication to understand each other or the thoughts are gonna be mostly "negative" assumptions and then you'll grow to hate each other. /most negative thing I thought about you were that you were troll with weird sense of humor and I guess not the strongest english. but yeah, thought we was good.

Oh and last but not least I do all my circle jerking outside of PSOW. (at least now.)

But yeah if you wanna decide between enemies with bad vibes and looking for "where did that come from?" condescending low-blow remarks with extra dose of passive agressive like college students.

Or just be homies can continue that in PM instead of FKL... <_< >_> <_< >_> <_< >_> <_> _>_><_>

Or I just got ultimate trolled and mis-read your whole post. Then I accept defeat. <.>
