Who wants to get together yeah yeah yeah?

[Nique]

I've been tossing around the idea of submitting a panel idea for Sakura-Con (http://www.sakuracon.org/) or possibly Kamuricon (http://www.kumoricon.org/) if not this coming year then perhaps the next.

Anyone feel interested in attending or participating in a 'Nuklear Power Forum' Panel? We're all fans of something vaguely related to Japanesse culture, it works!

I'd actually rather Brian use his $$millions$$ for something useful like coming to Seattle for the event and setting up an actual 8-Bit Panel. But no! He just sits down there in Flordia a kajillion miles away. Where is that even!? I sure don't know, I don't even think it's a real place!

[Magic_Marker]

I got paid time off and a car, if you further pique my interests then I may be in.

I couldn't possible attend... but it would be amusing to have a Panel about this forum... i mean, if you compile the last 2 years into "Amusing threads, people and discussions" you would get a Mindfuck worthy of a TED presentation...

[Magic_Marker]

Could we still have a panel of prominent members if we skyped them in? I mean, I've only been a regular poster for about a year so nobody would want hear what I have to say.

[Nique]

That would be complicated but possible. I need to do some serious brain storming about how to make it an actually FUN panel. Probably would try to get some Atomic Robo and 8-Bit swag. Wonder if our friendly neighborhood warbot artist would be interested in appearing?

I'm not sure we'd want that. I mean if Fifthfiend were to be there, I'd rather him insult us in real life.

I mean that's how most TV interviews are done nine times out of ten. We'd just need a webcam for members who wanted to, a few who would appear and Fifth's book of insults.

Instant Panel. (Maybe a little less than instant. )

[krogothwolf]

We should invade it, screw making a panel, invade someone elses and take it over! That's the NPF way!

[Lev]

It's possible that I'm going to be cosplaying fighter at Sakura-Con 2010 with a fire show depending on local fire department, park laws and weather.

[Magic_Marker]

Lev, you are seriously too cool for us.

I mean really, stop reading sprite comics.

It's the only un-cool thing you do and it's making me look bad, damnitt!

Assuming I can get ahold of some plane tickets, I'd be up for it if you want me. I've been meaning to go to more conventions. Because I have almost no experience with panels, what exactly would it be like? Would there be a theme or something specific we'd be talking about? Perhaps an NPF take on internet etiquette? I don't know this shit man.

[Fifthfiend]

If you guys seriously put together a panel at an anime convention for discussing the goings on of this webforum I will God I don't even know how to answer that.

[NonCon]

In my defense it's Nique's idea, and I just want to go so people can watch me build a pyramid out of mountain dew cans and listen to me give them terrible internet advice.

[Fifthfiend]

Like half of me wants to kill you and the other half wants to show up wearing cat ears.

[NonCon]

Like half of me wants to kill you and the other half wants to show up wearing cat ears.

Goddammit, Fifth, you know those aren't mutually exclusive.

[Fifthfiend]

If I was ever going to kill you guys I always kind of figured I'd be wearing cat ears when I did it.

[NonCon]

If I was ever going to kill you guys I always kind of figured I'd be wearing cat ears when I did it.

And not wearing pants?

[Bells]

I think Fifth is saying that he would love to appear via live web-feed.

Also, analyzing how this forum became an "Stable online environment" would give you something to talk about.

[Osterbaum]

How about we participate in some kind of convention in Finland? You know, so I can attend without flying thousands of miles.

EDIT: Fucking hell. I obviosly mean A FEW THOUSAND KILOMETERS!

[Corel]

Some time mid-next year I will be back in Europe and I would be interested in a European meet up.

We can go make party.

Plus it's ever so cheap to fly across EU!

[Smarty McBarrelpants]

Europe already is one big giant party. We got booze made before America was even a country.

Shh! Don't give away our secret Continental Tree House's purpose!

[Osterbaum]

I'm all up for it. I bet we'll have more fun than the american population of the forums anyway.

[krogothwolf]

Nobody wants us Canadians :(

[CelesJessa]

I think it'd be fun, but there would be no way I could get out to Oregon or Washington. If you had some people on Skype though, that would be fun. Have guest Skype appearances be people who couldn't be there. XD

Or perhaps rather than a fully fleshed out panel, just have some sort of meet and greet? I know other online communities have stuff like that at conventions.

[Nique]

That could be sort of awkward... Although, if we started with a panel discussion with some Q&A or whatever so that everyone could get introduced and then all attendants could mingle. I was sort of thinking that it could double as a bit of a promotional deal for Brian's various works, or at least try to convince Zack to make it.

[Meister]

If you guys fly me in, set me up with a hotel room (because no way am I spending the night any private residence that belongs to any of you) and keep up a steady supply of booze I swear I will come.

If you guys seriously put together a panel at an anime convention for discussing the goings on of this webforum I will God I don't even know how to answer that.
You will of course attend and partake in my booze supply and we will have a creative insult contest and we will get thrown out.

[NonCon]

You aren't allowed to come. Ever. If I ever met you and you did not look exactly like the Jesus in your avatar I would be so incredibly disappointed.

[Meister]

I'll grow out my hair.

See I think doing a kind of thing were someone sets up some gaming systems or something and everyone just gets together to hang out would be kind of fun.

Or we could do Meister's idea and just go out and have a "npf panel" at a bar somewhere until we get kicked out.

[NonCon]

I say we all go to a convention and start selling Buttspresso shirts.

[Magic_Marker]

I what to see that shit. POST HASTE!

[krogothwolf]

I say we all go to a convention and start selling Buttspresso shirts.

Just sell them at random panels and slowly take them over? or invade one we deem worthy of us and take that over then sell them from there?

The other option is to just take over the entire convention and change the name to the BUTTPRESSO convention.

[Whomper]

I am reminiscent of the past 8-Bit get-togethers we had. I would drive with Viper Daimao up to Ohio so we could hang out with MrHappyEvilBlackMage, DarthZeth, Dingo and a few other crazies. The first time around, Viper and I stopped to pick up Mike McC. Ah, good times.

In any case, if any of you crazies are looking for a place to hang out, game and have fun, my home in Texas is always open. I even have two unused bedrooms! (Sadly, I am not stocked with boozahol.)

[Bells]

Pretty much this, yes.

Except for that last bit, but I'll be watching there, and laughing my arse off/refereeing.

[PyrosNine]

I will happily come to visit any of you as long as there is an effigy of my likeness with a fire in front of it and numerous hamsterballs forming a ring around it. Spiritually, of course.

Of course, my physical presence needs SunDrop, hotdogs, a beanbag, the complete dvd collections of Trigun, Outlaw Star, and Gundam Wing. Lupin the Third and Cowboy Bebop will make do as replacements.

I guess it is worth noting that I will be at Ohayocon in Columbus this upcoming January.

Yeah "NPF Forum Panel" aside if some people wanna do a get together in Seattle or Portland I could totally swing that.

Or y'all could come down to San FranAin'tHicksville, just throwin' that one out there.

That could be sort of awkward.

Not if we drunk.

Though I've gotta say, I've now met several NPFers in real life and it's never been that awkward, even without alcohol. Granted they were all people I get along with anyways, but still...

Also, East Coast people should try to make next year's New England Webcomics Weekend. I mean, the first night is a pub crawl. It was pretty much the best thing ever.

[NonCon]

Or y'all could come down to San FranAin'tHicksville, just throwin' that one out there.

Is there any event in particular to come to San Fran for, or are you just trying to save yourself airfare like a cheap bastard?

[Magic_Marker]

Who around here is from the Midwest? I'm in OK and you people are far. Granted, I've always wanted to go on a long road trip and see the nation, but still, anyone from "Hickesville" that would like to meet.

[NonCon]

I live in Idaho. Does that do anything for you?

[Magic_Marker]

Well, I don't know if you're cool enough.

[krogothwolf]

NPF should head to canada! and Invade Toronto!!!

[NonCon]

Well, I don't know if you're cool enough.

I'm probably not.

[batgirl]

I'd be up for it if it wasn't in some far off place. Bob and I met up and perused Comicon together last Feb and it was a lot of fun.

I live in New York (Long Island to be exact, about 35 mins from NYC), so the New England thing would be possible if I could get away for a weekend. Granted New York is awesome and you all could come here and we could have adventures frolicking in NYC. Wacky high jinks could ensue.

[Mac]

NPF should head to canada! and Invade Toronto!!!

About a year too late Krogo.

[Magic_Marker]

I'm probably not.

*Takes a look at NonCon's post count* Yeah probably not.

It's never to late to invade toronto!! It's always a good time to! NPF Join the Bring Down Toronto movement!

You have something you'd like to say about people with high post counts, son?

Krylo's anus? It can handle it! That man's ass is made of flexible tempered rubber. And manlove.

Or something.

On topic, I live about 180 miles out from where SakuraCon's gonna be. I'm game for raiding it this year. A few friends of mine and I were thinking of raising hell over there in 2010 anyway.

[Whomper]

Someone come to me for a change! I'm sick of traveling all over this damn country!!!

I keep reading this thread title as "Who wants to eat together". We should all get together and eat copious amounts of mexican food.

I keep thinking it says "Who wants to live forever?" which gives me a mental sound of Freddy Mercury singing whilst I am reading this thread.

For the EU lot I would recommend having it in Germany as it's pretty much in the middle of the Continent and depending on time of year (read:week) there will be some festival going on in a 10km radius.

[Rymramoch]

So to keep out teh N00bs (me) will there be a minimum post number before participation is allowed, sign up sheets? Plus, anything closer than "why do I live in Minnesota where nothing like this occurs?"

[Nique]

Well, #1, I think nothing is official and #2, I think really anyone who is on the forums and has an interest at all in doing this is probably welcome.

[Rymramoch]

Hey! that's a start! It still doesn't solve the problem of living in the Midwest, though. It is the land of cultural mediocrity.

You know what they say about people with big post counts.

Same with people with big shoes...

...Big hands to type so much so quickly!

You can do that anywhere. I do.

[krogothwolf]

It's been decided Meister and Fifth are getting drunk alone in a hotel room together. Meister has to look like his Avatar or he'll disappoint all of us. NonCon is buying Mexican Food for all of us. Oh and we're going to be selling BUTTPRESSO shirts to make massive profit!

After that we'll probably just take over the State we're in and begin a totalitarian regime till it gets toppled. Or get so drunk that no one can stand and then the last conscious person will draw penises on everyone's face.

[Nique]

I'm gonna look into the Sakura-Con thing but if we're just doing a completly unrelated get togethor and not providing entertainment in the form of a panel, it might be eaisier on everyone financially to just get a community centre' rented or find a park or something.

Hey! We could all go to the Zoo!

[Meister]

NonCon is buying Mexican Food for all of us. Oh and we're going to be selling BUTTPRESSO shirts to make massive profit!
You sure we should be combining these two

[Rymramoch]

YEAH!. The zoo would be sweet. However, I demand they provide some of the animals from over here http://forum.nuklearpower.com/showthread.php?t=36099 for our viewing pleasure.... or un-pleasure as some cases may be.

[Fifthfiend]

Yessssssssssssssss massive profit on that thing that was kind of stupidly funny for like two seconds

A veritable goldmine of gold

[CelesJessa]

I was in Minnesota in June. :|I like it here! I can yell at politicians for being stupid!

I was in Minnesota in July! I guess people need to figure out when they're going to visit Minnesota, since it's apparently the place to be.

Heck yeah, I'll start designing the shirts!

I'm sure it's been said before, but you can wear them just the same.
I mean, Krylo has, I'm sure. Then again, Krylo does a lot of things...

Hell, if somebody picks up the bill for my plane-trip and hotel costs, I promise I'll be there in a kilt.

If "Don't Taz me bro" sells t-shirts I'm sure we could sell BUTTPRESSO for money easy.

[Magic_Marker]

More than 20 people know what "don't taz me bro" means.

[Melfice]

Also, on the selling of those T-Shirts.
Any and all proceedings go towards the person who thought it would be awesome to change Ultima Java to Buttspresso. Since they would hold the copyright, savvy?

So, even IF you sell any, you - Krogoth - wouldn't make a dime of it.
Unless that person decides to pay you a pittance for selling them. Instead of suing you for copyright breach.

EDIT: Wait, was the filter removed again, or is it only on a specific spelling?

[Fifthfiend]

Yeah it's gone. Wasn't a whole lot of point to keeping it on after the dude and lady in charge of the site RAGEQUIT and then also we banned them.

I don't especially have anything against the site or people mentioning it (as opposed to say, my failed campaign to deny 4chan's existence), it was just a fun way to be a jerk.

Hey, It wasn;t me who said we could sell them, it was NonCon. I was just saying everything that was agreed upon to some degree. Don't shoot the messenger, torture is okay, but just don't shoot me. I'm fragile to bullets.

[Lost in Time]

Quite a few people live/visit Minnesota in this forum, including me, so we should thinking about doing convention here. It also allows them dang Canadians to come visit as well.

Judging by location, does anyone want to try PAX next year?
It's in Seattle around Aug, Anime Evolution is in Vancouver as well roughly close to that time, give or take a month.

Actually, is it possible to set up a little location hit map? I know a guild I was in had one about 5 years ago.
It looked like a little world map except every week or so the hits on the site would appear on the map, where you were on the world would add a red dot on your location. I don't know, seems like an easy way... but is there any way we can drum up some quick demographics here without the long process?
