>>42332564
No, you cosplay but stay in your room and nobody sees you. Prizes are handed out at random. Fucking retard flaggot.

>>42332566
60% of Mare Fair is actually female this year (hopefully).

>>42332579
LOL! That sounds more my speed. Seriously, though, can’t I just submit a picture? I know I won’t win, but it’d be loser shit to not even enter. I’ll be cosplaying, so I may as well.

>>42332544 (OP)
>Matinee's Masquerade Cosplay Contest (Formerly Soiree's)
This line is a subtle joke. The contest is called "Matinee's Masquerade Cosplay Contest", where matinee and masquerade both start with the sound "ma-", thus alliterating with the name of the contest runner, Matinee. The line says that the contest was "Formerly Soiree's", implying that the two words beginning with "Ma" would have started with "Soi-", alliterating with "Soiree". So, when Soiree ran the contest, it would have been called "Soiree's Soisquerade Cosplay Contest".

But anyway, if I enter, you don’t need to announce my name or anything, right? Maybe I could just run on and off stage as quick as I can, with my face covered and shit?

>>42332619
But I AM wearing a costume. I just don’t want to be up on stage with all these weirdos looking right at me.

POST-CON GUN RANGE TRIP UPDATE:

For those of you that have signed up - keep an eye on your emails. I am finalizing things with the range and will have an email out to you all soon regarding the final prices and plan, as well as a second form to fill out to CONFIRM you are still planning to attend - in case anything has changed since you initially filled out the form.

Remember to fill out the online waiver for the range if you haven't already!

We are basically full to capacity for the amount of people we can realistically handle being in the range for the time period we intend to be there (perhaps one or two more if you have been waiting to sign up), and to transport. If you haven't signed up yet but want to, do so soon - as I will be closing the sign-up form soon.

Hey Anons! Interested in hosting an unofficial con event, but need a space to do it?
I've got a VIP suite from Wed - Mon and would like to offer space to anyone wanting to their own whiskey tasting/cope pizza party/sacrificial blood ritual/etc since I'd rather have it get use than sit empty for most the con.

Can't promise for the space to be open at the exact time you want, but shoot me an email at cutemarescuteponies@gmail.com and we can try and work stuff out

If anyone wants any of the Mare Fair 3 sponsor goodies (soap, patch, sunglasses, visor, etched glass, shorts, and fanny pack), I'd be willing to trade them. I also have a 3 star jersey that I may be willing to trade, for anyone who missed out (Large Pink #20). I'm picky though, I only want Cheerilee stuff. Contact CheerileeSpam@protonmail.com with any offers if interested. This also serves as a threadly reminder for vendors to bring Cheerilee merch.

Smaller ones (think symbiote/4DE size) should be fine, but anything bigger, especially lifesizes, will unfortunately have to stay back at the hotel. I wouldn't think multiple people bringing life-sizes and the like would be practical either considering vans will be fairly packed as it stands.

They let if fly last year, but they are under new management this time around, so if the RO's dont have a problem, I believe it should be fine.

>>42335045
2000 Eurobucks is more than enough for a week there, depending on what you do, of course. Orlando is a place that's super easy to blow through that kind of money very quickly.

I'm setting aside something like $1500 for things I might want from vendor hall + other con/outside con events. If you haven't already, literally put together a spreadsheet to plan your expenses - you may just see you can comfortably afford a little more here and there vs. a gut-feeling budget number.

>>42335045
Ideally 3k usd in cash, additional 2k on debit card, plus about available 3k on a credit card. Most of that is going to merch and any spur of the moment purchases. Food I'm approaching the same way I do here in Vegas (eat anywhere EXCEPT the tourist centers) so that should save funds

>>42335045
You CAN eat decently for $20 per day (exhange rates notwithstanding), but a minimum of $100/day outside of whatever other considerations (rental car/uber).
As far as merch, thats on you.

>too furfag for marefair?
>any base head models / stl's I could print that are acceptable and not too cringe?

>>42335652
Anyone should show up to the auction - you never know what you may be able to get, many things stay below the low hundreds mark. And even worst case, if your bid doesn't win, your bid helps drive auction hype and a higher result for the charity - and hype makes it fun.

>>42332544 (OP)
I wonder if they can give the current numbers and if their attendance projections have changed since last it was ever mentioned. Going by feel around social media, it sounds like there's more buzz around Mare Fair this year and seems like more people are planning to go.

>>42335692
>Going by feel around social media

>>42335045
Public transit exists here, but isn't going to be isn't going to be super impressive
Our bus service is called lynx, site is golynx.com
There's also a computer train that runs one route (north south) only in the weekdays called sunrail, site sunrail.com
Uber or Lyft will be much more usable, though

>>42335692
Guessing at least 1,300 but it may go as high as 1,500 based on room bookings

Speaking of, if anyone wants a room, better book it by August 6.

oh no it might actually be crowded....

>>42335891
>it will never be as comfy as first mare fair

>>42335901
yeah, it wont be the peak comfy of MF1, but it is nice to see success be reflected in the popularity of our home con. As long as conrunners hold fast against the things that ail the other cons.

>>42335924
When I watch the first Mare Fair opening I can still hear everyone's reactions.

>>42335872
Jokes on you we just don't advertise it until day of

>>42335901
Mare Fair 2 was already crowded enough as it was. I am worried, having gone to the first outing, that it won't be as tight knight and more quiet as it started. That first round was so fucking comfy and energetic, despite only being around 500 people.

>>42334354
bought too many plushies

>>42335971
>Mare Fair 2 was already crowded enough as it was
My hope and belief was that it was due to the Marriott not being the right hotel for a con our size since we were originally gonna be getting a much larger space at the Wyndham for MF2 and the Marriott just ended up as the last second choice.
Hopefully with them actually getting to properly scout out a hotel it should feel less crowded than last year

>>42335659
>>42332973
Seconded

>>42336141
I think you have a solid point about the other hotels - especially the "last minute" point regarding the Marriott. If you look, the hotel con space at Rosen is HUGE - over 1,200 capacity in just the pre-function area alone, where the entirety of the Marriott's primary panel rooms/hall could hold somewhere about the same amount.

Fuck it, I guess I'll sign up for that panel I've had in the back of my mind for a while now.
If you've ever had any questions about cyoa's, be it about playing or running them, ask now and I'll do my best to include the answers. Or don't, that's fine too. I'm not expecting high attendance.

Marefair trading panel host here.

I can buy or trade for Olyfactory Nyx, canni soda, trailblazer bronycan,bonitababscon, sunrise from foe dead tree, poutine bronycan, bronycon cats and cougari, china bronycon mascots plushies, nightfall nod from midnight mares figure

You may also bring your other kinds of plushies, figures, pins, cards etc to trade for ponies, I'm a huge toy collector and have way too many duplicate mares.

>>42335891
I procrastinated on my room booking, looking at the booking tool on gmaps the Rosen Centre appears to somehow still have vacancies between the 4th and the 9th, but the Day's Inn like a block away is like 1/2 the price but I'd have to walk past two vacant lots at night and who knows if they'd have bed bugs or something since it's FL.
Anyone who walked between hotels last year how bad did it suck? And can any staff confirm there are actually still rooms in our block?

>>42336744
>have bed bugs
You have no idea how bad it is, they're eager to climb into your assholej2ajwg

>>42336744
It depends on if you will be rooming/staying with someone or if you will be solo, and how good your situational awareness is. If you don't mind walking and if you're the sort who calls ambulances instead of cops, you can save alot of money

>>42336744

>>42336141
The Rosen has plenty of room. When we visited it looking at venues one of my first notes was that it was rather spacious. The Marriott was incredibly cramped and, again, was a last minute option with the Wyndham closing

>>42335901
just going to have to keep an eye on the thread and see where all the real anons are going

>>42332564
Doesn't matter, you will have an antisocial paranoid attack before the con and chicken out on going there anyway

>>42337654
Real anons will be in my hotel room at the Rosen.

>>42337560
>When we visited it looking at venues one of my first notes was that it was rather spacious.
Honestly I hope its not too spacious. MF1 underestimated the amount of attendees, but the layout and con hangout space being in the middle of everything at the entrance gave it cozy small town type vibes
My biggest complaint with the Marriott wasnt necessarily the crowdedness, but instead that the layout was fucking atrocious. The con was super spaced out in one long line with multiple stories and compared to the Wyndham which had decent space, but was still compacted in a much nicer square space making it easy to move throughout the con.
The Marriott open table seating area was easily the biggest butcher since it was so out of the way that nobody used it which sucks since it was by far the best part of MF1

>>42337926
I'll take 10 of each

So how come there's no ad animation this year?

>>42337707
Yes, but will there be Malort?

>>42338181
The new 3 star scarfs will be the mark of a newfag. Old scarfs will become a form of ID that allows you into exclusive oldfag gatherings. As a newfag this is very unfortunate news, but it is necessary to maintain the horsefucker hierarchy and culture. Maybe one day I will be looked upon as an oldfag for having the 3 star scarf while the youngsters are getting their fresh 4 star scarfs. For now though I must wear my scarf with pride as I am lucky enough to exist in a moment that future generations will envy.

>>42338228
This is one of the gayest posts I have read in my entire life.

>>42338228
>4 star scarfs
>Implying

>>42337926
Production should be in process and the current run is 100 of each type. Projected price at cons is $15/13€ per scarf if they all turn out looking decent and the DDP shipment is not saddled with unexpected customs fees.
Unless the package gets delayed, there will be a limited number (at most like 25 of each) available at Mare Fair, one of each type per anon.
As the free market is the ultimate arbitrator, the design that sells out first is the true board chosen three stars arrangement.

>>42338471
>As the free market is the ultimate arbitrator

>>42338471
Can you put a limit of 3-5 per so we don't get jews like >>42338063 >>42338107

Anyone familiar with the area the con is at this year and if there are any good sights/restaurants in walking distance worth going to? Want to make a plan B in case the panels are a dud like most of last year.

>>42338496
Limit at Mare Fair is going to be 1 of each type per anon. There will be some exceptions as I'm a morally flawed anon who's not above cronyism.

>>42335581
Oh, I just realized I should ask this now so I have a good idea how to budget this.
To any lifesize or jumbo sized plush makers, what are your average convention prices? I guess this is also a general plush maker question as well

>>42338527

>>42338533
AZG LS went for like $1600-1700 last year.
The travel size ones were like $800-900.

>>42338545
A wife and child for as little as 2500? Splendid.

There will be a Cope van running Wednesday and Thursday to pick up anons from MCO airport.
Since it's a cope van, it will not be as available as the Mare van once was, as the van is also used for supply runs and also for KSC transports.
Reply to this post and I'll figure out the actual availability closer to the con, like a week before.

>>42338861
Sweet, I'm interested. Assuming no delays (there will assuredly be delays) my flight arrives around 11 am Thursday, so out the actual airport around 11:30-ish

>>42338861
so there will be some gaps the morning and afternoon of thursday?

>>42338884
noted, just you and no one else?
domestic or international? (guessing domestic) which terminal?
>>42338897
at least yes, and gaps on Wednesday as well during supply runs.

>>42338861
I should reach the airport on 9pm, Wednesday. I'm travelling alone from SEA.

POST-CON GUN RANGE TRIP UPDATE:

We have hit max group size, and the sign-ups form has been closed. Thanks to all that signed up for your interest. An email has been sent out regarding payment and other information for the range trip, so please check your emails when you get the opportunity.

>>42339121
Oh and also, if you did not receive an email - please send a reply to moonanon2@gmail.com. Some of you filled out the form with bad or otherwise un-deliverable email addresses.

>>42339121
Does the range have a bolt-action rifle to rent? Or is that something we'll have to find out over there?

>>42338861
Arriving at Wednesday at 11 pm or so, hope that's not too late for ya.

>>42339227
They do have some - we can ask about it, but it would also depend on what they are chambered in.

>>42338861
Hi! Any chance to catch a ride at Wednesay, past 8.45pm? That's what my flight says, but it will be probably late, because my flights are always late.

More honest than any politician in existence

What are the odds I'll get mugged if I walk from MCO to the Rosen? I know it's ~5hr walk but I'm arriving a few days early and enjoy walking

God I wish I could afford to go. Being an Ausfag is suffering in the events department. Maybe next year.

>>42338471
You bastard, theyre gonna sell out in minutes

>>42339644
What do you look like? What time does your flight arrive? How much money are you bringing?

>>42339644
Depends on how you carry yourself, and your observable situational awareness. If you're the sort who has eyes in the back of their head, you should be fine. It's still not a good idea tho, criminals can text other criminals and then ambush you at choke points; a rando on a 5-hour trek is hard to miss.

>>42339900
Don’t listen to this paranoid schizo, it’s 100% safe.You should post your flight schedule here so other anons can check that you landed safely or give you a ride. Also guns and knives are illegal here so leave those at home if you have them.

>>42339644
you're more likely to get heat stroke than mugged
just ride the mare van

Booked my room in may, still waiting for my hotel confirmation, anybody else in that case ?

>>42340029
You went with a 3rd-part vendor, didn't you?

Alright, for everyone showing interest, if you don't write anything, I'll assume it's just you and that you are domestic.
Do write which terminal you arrive at, Terminal C is pretty far away from A and B, so you would need some time to get to the pickup point outside Terminal B, B24

>bait

Just be glad we are actually discussing legit con-relevant things instead of 200 posts about how 10 anons are going to rape a gollyfag.

>>42341323
It's just some turbo autist who can't fathom that fans of the friendship show want to make friends.

>>42338861
I’ll be arriving at noon on Thursday.

>>42341323
hot take but getting a piece of ass is as con-relevant as it gets imo
some people go to panels, some people drawfag, some drink, some get high, some puff cigars, and some fuck each others brains out

>>42341378
>fans of the friendship show
No real fan goes to conventions. All conventions are just so people can show off to other fake fans how much they pretend to like something just to stroke their ego
>friendship is when I have gay sex and consoom product
Try again retard

not giving you the you's you want nigger. I love ponies and i love cons and I love loving ponies through cons.

>>42341467
>i love ponies
No. You just love the idea of loving ponies. You're a fan of the fandom just like every other retard bandwagoner who goes to cons
>b-but I really DO like ponies
Then you wouldn't be at a con desperately trying to prove it to everyone else. Posting your epic booze filled frat parties and consoomer merch hauls like a bunch of social media addicted normalfags.

>>42341113
True. Normie meet up in my room on Monday after the con.

>>42338861
My flight arrives Thursday at 7:13pm in Terminal B. I'm flying internationally but I go through customs in Toronto.

>>42341490
>Then you wouldn't be at a con desperately trying to prove it to everyone else.

I'll bite.
You do know it is fun to meet people irl and make actual friendships with a shared interest (pony) and is more fulfilling than parasocial interactions with people over the internet - right? I understand if you are legitimately too cripplingly autistic to understand this or to socialize with other horsefuckers IRL, but just admit that instead of painting the rest of us as normies.

>>42341490
>either fundamentally misunderstands and/or purposely misrepresents why people go to cons
this nigga...

>>42341537
>all this cope
hanging out with people who have a shared interest =/= gay sex in a hotel room
liking ponies =/= posting about blogposting epic consoomer hauls
confag =/= horsefucker
>>42341538
Nah, I'm right.
Every single con thread is about:
>Gay sex
>Consoom
>More gay sex
>Alchoholic frat parties
>Gay sex part 3
>More consoom
>Blogposting about trying to talk to girls for some reason
>Gay sex: the edgy reboot
>Guess what? Consoom
>Some faggot talking about proposing to his girlfriend for some reason
>Gay sex: the breakfast cereal
Nobody at these things ACTUALLY likes the show.

>>42341547
Someone's jelly he won't be getting Gollyfagussy

Remember, while you're having fun at the con this one guy is going to be absolutely seething. Imagine being able to make somene that mad without doing anything

Are you done?

Fuck man I get being upset about being unable to attend. If you're able to get to Florida I will buy you a weekend pass

I'm too nervous to go to this con Anon... What should I do?

>>42341859
Go to the con.

Now, now. There is no need to be upset. I think he's just nervous of meeting new people in general. In a way, he's like Fluttershy.

>>42341898
You and the rest of us. Man up.

preparing this nefarious fit for the fair

How do I avoid looking awkward without friends?
I know I need to get out more, but making that decision now isn't going to magically make up for the fact that my social skills are abysmal. How do I get out of this if I'm too autistic to be around? It's a catch 22.

>>42341937
Go to the friend making panel that every con has.

>>42341937
don't go to these >>42341938, it's just some methodical inauthentic experience run by a furfag.

>>42341947
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6Fh5NGXDPw

>>42341947
Wait. What the fuck? You guys actually allow furfags in this con? If that is the case, I am definitely not going.

>>42341973
>t. never was

>>42341973
>t. never thought therefore never was

>>42341928
What the fuck is up with your feet?

>>42341937
You know that little voice in the back of your head that tells you not to do the shit you kinda feel like doing because you risk being awkward or making a fool of yourself? Ignore it. Just for the weekend, anon. Everyone else is also partaking in socially compromising behavior. The only thing you have to lose is your time and money, and both will be lost if you spend them worrying about what people think of you.
Also, if you see a furfag, stone them.

>>42341937
Volunteer and hang out with staff who are at least as socially awkward as you are.

>>42342161
>You know that little voice in the back of your head that tells you not to do the shit you kinda feel like doing because you risk being awkward or making a fool of yourself? Ignore it.
this is terrible advice and you know it. shame on you for trying to make anon make an ass of himself for teh lulz.

>>42341937
Find me. I like hanging with fellow autists. Doubly so if you're a waifufag.

>>42342161
This is the post I wish I had seen before Mare Fair 2. My first con ended up being a disaster for me, a waste of time and money, all because I spent the whole weekend mentally filtering everything I did to avoid looking too autistic. Even the autists I did meet seemed more well-adjusted than I was. Ironically few things are more autistic than the guy that stands in a corner and says nothing to others because he's afraid of looking retarded. I realized this after Mare Fair and spent a lot of time thinking about what I did wrong, and the conclusion I arrived at was basically your post, I just didn't accept it until now. Thanks, anon. I'll try not to blow it this year. Out of all the garbage I see on this board, it's posts like these that give me something to reflect on. Sometimes those posts are exactly what I needed to hear.

>>42342265
Why though? What was the point?

>>42342273
I don't know. I guess I got stuck in my head a little too long and ended up ruining it for myself. I was so excited before I left and once I got there I had nothing but fear. But hey, that's autism for you.

>>42342281
The first time at a con is scary without preestablished friends. It's like getting forced into an ice bath. It gets better as you ease into the atmosphere and is worth it in the end.

Any updates on the iFly trip, is it still happening?

>>42341898
You will be in good company - there's always plenty of wallflowers, plus plenty of people are around that would like to talk to you. Try hanging around in the con gathering space/lobby before the con starts and try to spark some conversation. Simple small talk to start a conversation can go a long way.

>>42341937
It's a big step to take, but you know how you sometimes you will see something going on and wonder to yourself "what if I got involved/joined in?" - but then decide not to for fear of something negative happening, or even just laziness and not wanting to put in the effort? At a con, if you see something interesting going on, take that opportunity and at least try to be a part - try to get that comment in on a conversation going on next to you - ask that guy you noticed with the cool thing a question. TL;DR - take a little initiative and get involved; while there are not guarantees every attempt will pan out, it will inevitably lead to opportunities opening up for you.

Like other anons have said, the inevitable "make some friends" panels are perfect for you, as it kickstarts interactions between you and everyone else.

And one last point, if you care to think about it like this: if you don't know anyone, there's not much risk in going for it. Nobody knows you - so take this opportunity to try being a "different"/more social self, and see if anything sticks.

Come take a step outside your comfort zone for a weekend and ave fun in good company, Anon.

Gingerfag here, didn't wear any at all last year and was fine but also the con mostly kept me out of the sun. If you plan on being outside longer than half an hour then just get spf whatthefuckever if you're that worried.
The beach is very enjoyable at night.

>>42342716
Sunscreen is full of noxious chemicals that WILL harm you an infinite amount worse than a sunburn ever could.

>>42342716
You'll burn within 15 minutes if you don't use sunscreen. Remember to reapply or it will have been for nothing.
Alternatively, cover up. Long sleeve cotton shirt, long pants, and a wide brim hat.
Alternatively alternatively, don't be outside for that long.

>Going to the beach
Is there not a pool at the hotel?

>>42343193
It’s a clothing-optional beach. You can’t be naked at the hotel pool.

>>42343199
Not true.

>>42343193
Surely you can't be saying the pool is an adequate substitute for the beach?

You might want to keep that stomach covered. I hear that quite a few faggots would like to cover it in cum.

No. The cope van is the knock-off of the mare van. I can tell that that's not a knock-off of the knock-off, but the true knock-off.

Pony Wedding Panel Update
I was waiting for some materials to arrive before posting this update and now it has arrived I will post an update.
So expect an email in your inbox in the next few days, it's just finalizing some details. As well as asking permission to pass contact info over to my ring maker as he needs to get started on them sooner rather than later. Just a reminder if you are writing a speech or custom vows to keep it at around a minute or two max for each. Because 20+ people having time to do that will be almost an hour to the panel and I want to make sure I get as many anons married before being made to move to the lobby to do lobby weddings.

Nasapone/KSC Trip Update
I will be reaching out to sign ups I have not heard a reply from or heard from in about a month, just to make sure i's are dotted and t's are crossed numbers wise. So please please do check your email
Plus to make sure I do have final numbers for the Nasapone t-shirts as the anons that are a part of that need the numbers so we can get the orders done asap.
We also have 20 spots left for those still thinking about signing up. I know it seems like a long way away yet, I thought I still had three months and I sneezed and now it's only six weeks.
Finally, for those of you asking about the latest you can pay if we haven't already discussed something. I would prefer payment before August 13th, a couple of weeks before I leave, just to make sure the only thing I have to worry about is if a hurricane is going to rain on our parade again.

Guys, please don’t rape me, because you’re probably not cumming on or in me otherwise. Not even near. Sorry, sorry, sorry.

I won’t have time. I wanna debate everyone!!! This is no time for sexual gratification! I need to spread the message of Faust!!! Who wants to debate me?

To anyone going to MARE Fair for anything except mares - I hope your plane/train/car crashes and you burn to death horribly

>>42345326
How is talking about mares not being there for Mares? What the fuck?! Just because I need to intellectualize my love doesn’t imply a lesser appreciation.

>>42345335
Oh, sorry, if that wasn’t directed at me, I’m sorry. Didn’t mean to be presumptive.

>>42345326
there are no actual mares at mare fair. no one should be going to this.

>>42345341
Mare Fair celebrates that we’ll meet Mares one day… or at least should.

You know as well as I do that some folks gave up their Tickets willingly.

>>42345350
You’re right. Wanna discuss that in-person? I’m so excited to talk about Equestria with people!!!

>>42345296
For the record, I dont want to cum on your stomach, and hope we can 'knowingly' meet, if just for a momentary "oh hey, you're that one!"

>>42345410
That’d be cool! Can I have a hug too? :3

I think pony/MLP suits are fine only. I remember seeing some pony headbases on Etsy, but they might be too cutesy, like kemono aesthetic. Not sure what kind of visual style you're going for.

>>42345497

I imagine I should rule out ocfagging in general as well

>>42332973
Stupid paypal is being stupid and I can't pay through the request thing.
Can I just send the money to the email listed on it?
I can throw in another ten bucks if you lose out canceling the request.

>>42332973
when is the deadline for this

>>42345503
Fursuits are spectrum and named or well know pony characters are in green end along with anon suits. But once you start ocfagging with characters nobody knows it starts to slip and at the extreme end are the classic fox suits and such.

I'm very excited to attend and talk to as many people as possible. I might wear some form of masquerade so I can spaghetti with impunity. If you are too autistic to riff or banter I WILL make fun of you then fuck your wife you brought from the basement.

>>42345539
We can talk.

Looks like the MPPP anon filly run of plushes will arrive before Mare Fair. Who wants a free little faggot plushie I made sure to buy a surplus?

>>42345727
If I accidentally bought 4 can I still get one?

>>42345745
We can swap one for one lol.

Who wants to make bets on pup mask-wearing individuals show up.

>>42335675
Glad you asked. Pony suits are acceptable. Non-pony, but canon species' (mintaurs, griffons, etc) are a grey area and ill-advised. Unrelated furries will be beaten

>>42345906
They better fucking NOT

>>42344409
Fuck off Haber, you are banned.

>>42345727
I forgot to buy one because I have a medical condition called being a fucking idiot. Can I yoink the little faggot?

>>42347374
its that quick? oh we're so back then. so around the start of august should be when they arrive?

>>42345526
This is a very fair and practical approach. Minotaurs are a canon species, but no one (mostly :3) knows who "that one" is, so for convention spaces its a no.

That people I know are just going to the con to suck each others dicks, suck off trannies, be antagonistic to the whole con because we don't like their furfaggotry and to occupy hotel rooms that could have had actual fans of the mare staying.

>>42348389
Your friends suck dick. Why not just get an airbnb if their gonna be that way?

>>42348404
That would ruin the pretense of going, and you can't find casual fags to convert to the tranny dick sucking cult at an airbnb.

would people want to buy a cheap half pony masquerade mask? here's what they might look like, the pony is stained wood and the mask would be Paper Mache (the mask in the pic is a kinda shitty proof of concept I printed, I'd get better if I decide to sell them).

Well, since the official post con gun range trip is full. Anyone else want to join my group/clique of friends? I'm personally bringing my registered full auto 1928 thompson, a .500 S&W magnum, a desert eagle, an 1887 winchester, and an 1897 winchester

>>42349187
Are you going the same day or a separate day? I'm down to go twice. Bringing a cattleman carbine and a .22 single action.

>>42349045
If this is finished and made properly it could be cool as fuck.

>>42349187
It would have been nice to get more people, but with the time we have there, trying to get everyone in to have a chance to shoot everything and not be rushed, transport, etc... it would start to pose some organizational issues, as well as cost more per person, which I made a goal to keep as low as possible for everyone. If only the Orlando area had a decent free public outdoor shooting range or one that wasn't a members club

I assume even if you did go on the same day, we'd still probably be in 2 different distance range bays entirely - we'll be eating up the entire 50-yd bay.

Cool to see you own the really neat funs though but is the DE the .50AE meme or another caliber?

shipping costs and sample production times take too fucking long

How will the room cope with such power levels in close quarters, I expect the door to be blown off it's hinges

>>42350243
Technically speaking, all thats required is construction paper, markers (no huffing the markers!), and elastic string

>>42350667
Simple. We use Shinto or Daoist practices, whichever is most convenient, to make the door's residing spirit also a horsefucker, thus motivating it to properly contain its fellows' autism

>>42350689
could make for a fun workshop panel
also could make for a fun chinese sweatshop order

>>42350796
Doubtful it would be cheaper from them than locally, there's a copy/media place right there by the hotel. Scissors would be required (no running!) but its more something I would pick a table and leave a stack at with a bowl of those metal-tabbed elastic strings.

>>42350689
>no huffing the markers
I thought this was the Land of the Free

>>42350689

If I don't see you at the range I need to get a photo with this at the con

>>42353262

I didn't sign up for the actual/official range trip becase by the time I found out about it, It was full up. So, I'm just arranging my own personal range trip with my friends and my own personal "toys" of exception as previously stated, a thompson, a .500 S&W magnum, a desert eagle, an 1887 winchester, and 1897 winchester. As for what my friends are bringing, thats something else entirely. I don't know what the range trip people are gonna be bringing but I'm guessin they're gonna 90% be renting range guns for way too much money.

>>42353384

BTW, if anyone wants to join my range trip, you're fine as long as youre not some dipshet and you buy ammo. It's a better alternative to spending an absurd amount of money to rent one of the range's guns

If they were actually deporting immigrants they'd just send them back

>>42353384
We have some people bringing their own stuff, but you'd be surprised that they don't charge anything ridiculous for rentals, at least when doing booked events - its just the ammo that can stack up pretty quick.

If you are gonna visit the same range were going to around the time our group is there - be sure to come say hi.

>>42353384
Easy solution just take over the whole range with horsefuckers in every bay

>official cosplay contest
Ah great I love it when panels are taken out of the hands of the people attending and put on by the staff. Speaking of which I wonder who is running the contest...

>>42355081
not even surprised at this point

>>42355081
People are allowed to have other hobbies, even hazbin cringe, but I agree this sounds bad. The con is losing its "for us, by us" origin faster than Applejack lost her parents. Maybe someone can concurrently run a bootleg contest.

>>42355159
Everyone said the first Mare Fair was a crypto scam or fake. I'll give this one a chance, maybe it'll be good.

>>42355081
>>42355159
Apparently last year there were complaints from some normies about it being "unprofessional" or whatever since it was just random audience members as judges
On one hand I kinda get it given how many intricacies go into costume making, but on the other hand im afraid they're gonna sterilize it and remove all the goofy fun that made MF panels good in the first place in favor of just making it like every other convention ever

Is it really that bad or is this just a bitchy exaggeration? I'd like to go someday, but not when more and more normies are coming around for it.

>>42355291
You should still come cause its fun to hang out with REAL anons at mare fair, dont worry

>>42355291
It's going to ultimately be up to us (attendees) to make the con environment at Mare Fair not conducive to the bullshit that we dislike about other cons. Then no matter if staff/con chairs make shitty decisions, those shit choices wouldn't impact the quality of the convention experience by much. That being said, we certainly need to make it a point to the con chair/snowpity to keep to their roots as a priority.

>im afraid they're gonna sterilize it and remove all the goofy fun that made MF panels good in the first place in favor of just making it like every other convention ever
Exactly, why be another cookie cutter convention? What's funny is I can already see the contest splitting into an official one full of professional cosplayers that crave that professional attention, and the categories that got segregated last year anyway, such as "oops all anons" and board memes like Engineer and Mike VS who were infinitely more entertaining on stage.

>>42355259
I'd be happy to see some people that has at least a clue as judges, rather than fucknugget 1, 2 and 3 from the audience that haven't had a single creative thought in their lives. But hiring one of these creatures is a bit too far in the other direction.

>>42355360

Kari attended both Mare Fair 1 and 2.
She's a big believer in the con and also super passionate about cosplay
Like spending lots of time designing really cool cosplays
Seems like a great choice to run an official contest
And an official one doesn't rule out a shitpost unofficial one

>>42356120
so you WERE planning an orgy

>>42356127
What do you think the mexican was there for?

>>42356126
She might be super passionate about cosplay, but is she actually gonna do something fun or just do it like every other cons cosplay contest . Other cons cosplay contests are boring as fuck and while I agree the previous years weren't the best, they sure were better and more entertaining than the every other con
>She's a big believer in the con
This logic is so inherently flawed because it fails to account for the actual issue that these people can love the con and still be hurting it without being inherently malicious
In fact, I'd argue them caring and believing in the con is worse because then they come in, want to like it, and believe they just need to change "a few things" to make it amazing which just slowly turns it into every other con little by little. They infect the con like they and get away with it because it came from a place of "care" so while im sure she and plenty other normies do believe in the con and is super passionate about it, it still ends removing a small amount of what made MF so fun even when having the best of intentions
It feels like MF staff don't want to admit it, but MF1 was so great because the normies gatekept themselves/were gatekept by the fact it was le ebil first year 4chan con
I'm not saying we need 5 billion pool windmills or anything, but goddamn I wish MF staff would gatekeep a little bit because if anyone tried to do what normies are doing to MF on the board, they be told to fuck right off
Remember cancer isnt just some virus specifically trying to kill you, but instead the helpful process of cell growth becoming uncontrollable leading to a tumor

>>42356284
That sure a lot of FUD
A more regular cosplay contest isn't indicative at all of what you're afraid of
And you're afraid of something that hasn't even happened yet
And I'd trust anyone who attended and enjoyed the first two years of Mare Fair more than I would some normie off the street who's never been to MF
An attendee would get it

>>42355081
Imagine getting cucked by staff who know what they're doing. enjoy the seat.

Bruh, that's what the pool windmills are FOR. That's what they've done. Half the fandom screeches about mare fair being le ebil nazi con and freak out at any normie that says ANYTHING about going. They're as gatekept as you can make it without explicitly banning people for not knowing CNSAnon's last words.

Can you children stop shitting your pants over nothing? You have cons with REAL issues like trotcon to complain about. This has been an argument since the first one and nobody on your side can give a real explanation for why you should be allowed to kill the convention with your obsessive politics interest. It's a pony convention. For pony. Poni should poni poni. Go make your gayreeanne convention.

>>42356305
You've got me penned perfectly there, anon
And while it is a fear of something that hasn't happened yet, it feels like theres writing on the wall

>>42356384

>>42356395

I think we should leave the pool swastika thing in 2024 where it belongs. Bold, I know. Don't even think about it, don't even mention it. I get it, "pool is closed due to AIDs" haha funny, but it's old. It's really old. You guys are too new, you never even played Habbo, you're just doing it for the swastika which is frankly disappointing. A symbol of hate has no place in a community all about friendship, capiche?

>>42356284
Other cons have panels, game rooms, and charity auctions too. Why draw the line at a cosplay contest? Because you personally don't care? If there are attendees who are passionate about cosplay and they want a serious competition, then what's the problem with giving them one? It's not like this is taking away from anything.

>>42357331
Jewish claws typed this post

Never forget who's preaching about what belongs in "their" community.

I don't get how you guys can't conceptualize the fact that there's a clear difference from what the con organizers are okay with, and what the hotel is okay with.
I don't give a shit about swastikas, but I realize that there is a real chance that relations with hotels degrade to a point that no hotel is willing to host marefair.
>Oh but they could just look harder and find any other hotel who're willing to host the con
Hotel chains talk to each other, they're in constant communication. Maybe one or two would be okay with the bad reputation; But it'll then become a problem of not having any options to choose from and being at the mercy of the hotel's limitations, such as space and dates.
You can reel in your autism for three days anons, for the sake of everyone involved.
Besides, there's no reason to make the con organizer's lives harder, that effort could be spent in bettering the con, not fixing anon fuck ups.

Honestly, doing a friendship windmill while this >>42354678 is going on is in really poor taste. Just saying.

>>42357455
I wanted to ask as I'm never informed about anything, but I don't want to bring even more politics into this

I don't know if you're baiting or genuinely retarded, but its a straw man because the reply chain you responded to was genuine criticisms of normies taking over parts of the con

It might blow you're mind when I say I agree that they arent a good idea because we want to keep a venue to host us and because people forget the OG one was a pool closed jokes, not just for the sake of it, but I can also say I don't like the route is taking with normies gentrifying the con

>>42357627
Repeatedly pointing out that it was pools closed, as if the edgy habbo anons got a pass for being internet history, and everyone referencing them gets a pass, is the most pretentious hipster take.

So then, next thread we will discuss the compromise position that achieves all, or most of, our goals.

>>42357753
Faggots.

Oh u bastard

>>42357779
So one dance floor windmill and a pool windmill to continue tradition?

Pro tip: if you get caught windmilling again, you WILL be banned this time.

>>42357806
I'll be okay being banned from the hotel, it's after the con is over so Normie Fair can't do shit

>>42357811
You'll be banned from future Mare Fairs and events.

>>42357837
Why? It's after the event, it's just proving this shit is just Normie Fair. We do this to filter normies and faggots. It is our convention and we're being forced out ala >>42356264

>>42357841
Literally point four of the Code of Conduct.

>>42357848
I haven't purchased a ticket for 2026 so I'm not liable once the 2025 event is over. They need to specify dates or else pool windmills it is

>>42357852
You sure seem keen on attending a con that you do not like.

>>42354678
You bet it’s going to be hard, you’re telling me I’ll have to drive 250 miles to laugh at the illegals locked up in that camp? Outrageous
>>42357522
True white skinned American patriots and their families have nothing to fear from the camps. You sound suspiciously afraid anon. Do I need to call ICE?

>>42357863
I was there at Mare Fair 1 and it was perfect. It's being watered down and I need to be the grim reminder to normies

>>42348568
9:00PM is probably not doable, last run would probably be 8:30PM, have to return the van at the airport at 9:30PM
>>42350570
Noted.

>>42352990
Depending on how the first run sells, this would influence if there would be a second run.
The number at Mare Fair would at most be 50 of each design, realistically closer to 25 due to luggage constraints. I will be getting the other 50 of each arriving after Mare Fair that I probably ship and sell at later cons.

>>42356284
Just want to let you know that there is some gatekeeping, at least for what i'm in charge of at the con. I do like to let some normies in to give them a chance and let them realize the con isn't that bad, and if they don't like it then they don't have to come the next year. Though if I for example hear that someone refused service to a customer who's being inoffensive, only because they had an aryanne plush with no windmill and that vendors applies again the following year, they go to the bottom of the waitlist, same goes for say someone who doesn't like Mare Fair at all, but wants that oh so sweet vendor money ^:)

>>42357929
You are going to grt attacked with money. Consider donating one of each scarves for the charity auction, as they will sell out quickly.

>>42357941
Woah, did that happen? Somebody rejected a potential customer because they had an Aryanne? lmao

>>42357848
So that includes doing it in the street 3 blocks away? Does it's association with the board or the online reputation of attendees not also interfere with the con by setting off normie alarms? Snowpity went full retard with their CoC (again).

>>42358074
Stop being a disingenuous retard. There's a difference between that and doing it at the fucking venue's pool the Sunday night after the con.

>>42358084
It's not written that way. It's literally written with the power to ban anyone that threatens their reputation in any way, shape or form. So who's the disingenuous one here?

>>42358090
If you can tell me how acting like a faggot three blocks away affects Mare Fair like it does at the actual venue, I am sure they will gladly ban whoever does that.

You know rules aren't written to be specific? They're vague so they can applied in a versatile way. It's ultimately up to Snowpity to judge who can come to their event.
