Why should they have to sit through cosplay? Back in the day when Anime Boston had a small Main Events room, even if Main Events was full the editors would get let in to watch the winners get played. It's not that hard for this to be implimented.
Exactly (I would arrange to have creators brought in)... but that's not even an issue anymore since we can't show them then anyway.
I was talking to Vic and he had the great idea to show them during Iron Editor. I talked to Antonio and it looks like that's what we are going to try and do. We just need to have all the votes counted and the results together by then.
I also learned that last year the winners were shown after Iron Editor as well (something I previously did not know). Here is to hoping it all works out!
Speaking of which, does anyone even want me to attempt to work on getting creators seating at the contest this year? Seems like every year we try doing it, it was always done at the last minute and everyone ended up with seats in a bad location.
Then again I was never staff before, and I never made the arrangements myself (ie: I think I can do a better job). Anyway let me know if this is something you are all interested in so I can get the ball rolling on it.
*Edit* I'll even create a new thread to ask this question. Would be better than spaming this thread with a bunch of "yes" and "no" posts. Here is a link: http://www.animemusicvideos.org/phpBB/v ... 568#871568
Brakus;
While I respect your attempt to defend yourself, all I know about your ban is that there were several people upset with you because of things you were saying about the con. What, I have no idea as I never bothered to read any of it.
The decision however (which was long in coming from what I was told), was handed down to the contest staff by the con President himself. Neither I nor my co-head had any sort of personal involvement in the matter.
Additionally, I have since stepped down as contest head and left Nekocon staff, so any issues you have with the contest should be taken up with this years staff.
If you have any Otakon related questions to discuss however, please feel free to ask.
