Otakon 2003 Creator Get-together (and stuff...)

Um... did I say that nobody else could post in this thread? Of course not. But the fact remains that this thread is by and for the important people in the AMV scene. Scan down the left column. Seeing a pattern?

I haven't posted because I don't belong in it. I don't quite fathom the comment "See? I'm posting here!!"

But, then, maybe you ARE a big-timer and I just have never heard of you before.

Sarah, everyone's important. The only people who aren't are people who think they aren't. That just screams "I want attention, feel sorry for me." You make AMVs, therefore, you're one of us, so sit yourself down at our table, grab a bite to eat, start up some conversation and realize that we elitest pricks are just as human as you are, and tend to frequently act sub-human while under the influence. Besides, it's fun to hang out with new blood!

Me, I just hang around and glomp people while pretending I don't care that they're smoking and drinking. Ah, to be young.

Just because the supposed big names are the ones that you notice posting doesn't mean that it's only for the big names. The name of the thread is Otakon 2003 Creator Get-together (and stuff...), not something like "Otakon 2003 Big Name Creator Get-together", or "Otakon 2003 Professionals Get-together", or maybe "0T4K0N 2k3 L33T $M\/ |<|23\/\/". If it were any of those, then maybe there's a bit of elitism at work. As it stands now, if you're a creator, then you should feel no qualms about attending such an event.

Hell, I'm planning on showing up, and I'm nowhere near a big name creator... I suppose maybe having a big head counts...

I'd watch your back, Vicker. I have no qualms about flying at you without warning.

Riiiiight, Bogo. You're not a big-name creator, and nobody has heard of your videos.

I know you're just trying to be modest and all, and I'm sure you're very nice to the fans (don't think I didn't notice that you guys call them "fans," and not "other org members" or the like - fans, as if you are celebrities.

)

But let's be honest with each other here. There's nothing wrong with acknowledging rank. I vastly prefer that to being patted on the head and told I'll get an autograph if I stand in line long enough.

Actually I'm an arrogant bastard who enjoys insulting any potential fans that I might have. It's probably for the best that I don't have any. =P

Last I checked, we don't have any ranking system for creators, so there is none such to acknoledge. Videos have rank, and we can worship awesome vids. Well... upon thinking about if for a bit, there is that number of vids downloaded stat here. I guess that could be used for rank. In which case, I'm very far down.

He isn't a big-name creator. Did you see his latest video? It sucked more wind than a Pratt & Whitney JT8D. Totally screwed up every rule in the book.
