I find it a lot of fun to compare the Otakon discussion here with the Otakon discussion on Poosh.

Yeah, it's working really well so far.

[Tengukami]

Trolls used to be less obvious than this, once upon a time, didn't they?

Here: "Oh, I had a lot of fun, it was great meeting you guys, woohoo"

Poosh: "PURGE THE UNBELIEVERS! REAL TOUHOU FANS ONLY!"

Ok I live in a bubble - is there a Reader's Digest version of why this message board seems to be hated by the Pooshimerwhatjamacallit one?

I mean you guys are so chill and nice I don't get why all the hate...?

[helvetica]

We're not elitist enough.

And yeah, we need more Kefits. If you can't 1cc all touhou games on lunatic with one hand, get out

yeah I'm kind of new to MotK (joined after Katsucon after I met Kilga and crew) so I'll assume it's just people trying to troll but if it's something else please do tell. Because a bunch of posts blamed MotK on the failure of the past Touhou Panel but praised this one sooooo troll right?

[helvetica]

You do realize a lot of that is just #smers/MotKers trolling claiming to hate us =P (actually it looks like it's just one particular person :3)

[Rin Kagamine]

Poosh sucks :smug:

[triangles]

No I don't because like I said I live in a bubble and I'm from a time when everyone was legitimately Nice On The Internet and never got into this whole LOLOLOLOL LET ME BE A COMPLETE JERKFACE TO OTHER PEOPLE BECAUSE THIS IS THE PEAK OF COMEDY thing that's all the rage with the kids these days.

[helvetica]

If it was someone else being a jerkface I'd probably be a little upset but I know who's doing it.

[Alfred F. Jones]

People who are not even Poosh regulars are trolling the Poosh regulars (who, admittedly, haven't had a good trolling since Betty's '09 trolling blowout), and then blaming the subsequent "Poosh sucks" on the regulars.

Something about this does not make the faintest bit of sense.

I say this because I am still very much partial to the imageboard. That's where I got my start, after all. And I really don't think emnity between us and those folks is good for the Touhou fandom, one way or the other, so I would like to see this poor excuse for trolling cease. Suzuran's too coherent to be a good troll, anyway.

Suzuran FTMFW \o/

Yeah, I was shaking my head thinking, "There's no way anyone could take this obvious troll seriously", and look - people are falling over themselves to respond to him.

Well, here's my thoughts on the matter: imageboards invite trolling. When you can hide behind a name identical to everyone else but the tripcodes, you can say pretty much whatever you want. So for me, it's nothing against Poosh. It's accepting the fact that imageboards = shitposting, with occasional worthwhile posting.

ANYWAY BACK ON TOPIC KINDA

Found a picture of 2/3 of my space hookers Witches 5 group.


Ahahaha whoops totally should have put on some bolder lip color OH WELL.

And on our way back to the hotel myself and the green and blue one ran into some bros.

"Yo cool costumes what are you dressed from"
"We're from Sailor Moon."
"No you're not." 

Then they wanted a pic and we've never had bros ask for a pic or compliment us in costume before so uh ok sure!
I do think it's because we looked like space hookers.

[Rin Kagamine]

Red lots of red

[Mima-sama]

Lobster red

[triangles]

I actually used the term "hooker red" (as opposed to "red-red") to distinguish the two shades I was deciding between at the store oh how appropriate it was.

My living room floor is an explosion of red and green threads and fabric scraps.

It's totally Christmas themed.

Perhaps SANTA CLAUS will come on to town early now  :V

[Rin Kagamine]

Did you just braid that wig for the Hong costume or did you have two?

[triangles]

I just popped braids in.  And by "I" I mean MJP he did a really nice job!  The rest of my Witchy Crew had to like Frankenstein their wigs together and make the braids/buns separate pieces but for Meiling you can treat the wig like regular hair for braids like that.

QUICK RUN BEFORE IT STARTS FOLLOWING YOU!

[helvetica]

So.. yeah I've already reserved a room for next year.  I got 2 at the Hyatt right on the skywalk.  Works out to 145/person with 6 per room (little over 100 if we cram 7).

Who's definitely/semidefinitely going next year?

[Matsuri]

Do definite 'maybe's count? :derp:

[Jana]

Do definite 'maybe's count? :derp:

P. much this. I gave Kilga my word that I'd try to fix my financial situation, but a lot can change in a year.

[helvetica]

Do definite 'maybe's count? :derp:

Of course, not asking for money yet.  I got until 7/8 next year to cancel reservations without fees.

[Kilgamayan]

Yucari already reserved a room at the Hilton for our little group, and I'm not passing up the opportunity to have 100% indoors con access.
