>>42383708
I cant wait for Faggot Berrow to proclaim that earth ponies had no magic in G4 and it was her that brought magic to earth ponies and she made progress and change in mlp

Anyone else going?

You guys should go, not because it's gonna be fun or good, just because someone should report back the absolute state of Trotcon

>>42383836

>>42383616 (OP)
literalwhere, literalwho, and literalwhat
We just had /mlp/con over a week ago faggot

I'm too cool to go to cons

>>42385722
It's Ohio's premiere pony con! Don't you want to go to Ohio?

You think Amber May is going to attract more Murder Drones fans than fans of her pony work?

>>42386413
100%

>>42386044
What goes on in Ohio?

Trotcon died in 2019. It's been a skinwalker wearing the name since then.

fuck trotcon. cytube sent bullshit lies to my once friend jeff burgess and he got creeped out and dropped out just to get away from me because he couldn't bother reading cytube logs to see that they were lying

>>42387038

>>42387576
hi Spec

>>42385086
I'm going for the fun. All pony cons are fun.

Yeah I'm coming, do any panels look interesting?

>>42387532
What the hell happened then?

>>42383616 (OP)
Do you still need to be up to date with jabs and boosters?

>>42389432
No

>>42383616 (OP)
How the fuck is this clown show still going? Is that alcoholic cunt too stubborn to let it die?

>>42386413
Who?

>>42389829
Because a lot of people still enjoy this convention. Believe it or not, some people are capable of enjoying things.

>>42389829
Clown show? I'm not up to date with the drama, qrd?

>>42389356
>cancel 2020 con that everyone hyped up because MUH COVID
>partner with ponyfest online for a very, very g-pg rated online con (this is foreshadowing)
>staff including party guy Kevin all get ousted
>in-hotel event happens years later
>anons get badges pulled for nothing
>there's a document labeling anonfilly as a hate symbol and other faggotry
>con staff has to be shouted down by hotel staff because they were harassing hotel guests (not con guests, hotel guests) for not wearing masks in public hotel spaces
>room parties and any meetups that are not scheduled or con-run are tracked down and shut down
>mandated vaccine and booster shit, LITERALLY causes an attendee to have a heart attack and be carted out by an ambulance
>can't fulfil any obligations like sponsor badge rewards on time
>the "hate symbol" document being leaked causes the staff meeting post-con to involve the con lead demanding staff admit who leaked the document, holding all the pizza hostage
>move to a huge convention center
>tiny attendance, it's empty and dead

>>42391119
Half that shit is related to Covid. Covid is over. Also, nobody was harassed for displaying an Anonfilly, and people even sold Anonfilly merch. Trotcon is fine. It's not the biggest or the best con, but it never was. It's still a good time, and it's back in a hotel.

>>42391119
Good recap. A lot of it comes down to the con chair, who micromanages and undercuts her own staff members to where many of the good ones eventually leave or get pushed out. It wasn’t always perfect, but they used to have a good group running things. All that hype and they basically sabotaged themselves.

>>42391119
>>the "hate symbol" document being leaked causes the staff meeting post-con to involve the con lead demanding staff admit who leaked the document, holding all the pizza hostage
hahahahahaha what

>>42389356
Well, there’s the Bluey appreciation panel and the “A Goofy Movie” viewing.

>>42389829
The voice of Alice in MD. Also did some MLP fandom shit like 10 years ago.

>>42389356
The “How Misty Brightdawn (Almost) Saved G5” panel sounds good.

>>42391445
Also, there’s will apparently be something involving K-Pop Demon Hunters.
And fursuits, of course.

>>42391164
>covid is over
Tell that to the con staff who had to be strongarmed into not requiring masks and proof of vaccination this year.

I'm checked in. Badge pickup starts in 90 minutes

>>42390278
So were you one of the retards who gave TrotCon money in their fundraisers, after they proved they couldn't properly run a budget? All because "wE cANt lEt cOnS diE"?

>>42392340
No, I didn't. I just like pony cons.

>>42392308
Planning to attend any panels? Like the G.M. Berrow one?

>>42392444
>Dinner and a Show feat. Canto Acrylic and The Manehattan Jazz Quartet
>Fizzlepop Berry Twist Appreciation Panel #Tempest Troop
>Horse Memes: Ultimate Edition
>Luck Rock’s Top 100 Brony Songs of 2024
>Name That Frame! A Pony Trivia Game
>The Fridge Horrors of G1

>>42392301
Is that real? That sounds made up but they're so stupid I wouldn't be surprised.

>>42391119
I've also been told by Trot veterans that a big part of the culture shift was due to the previous security lead passing away. Apparently he was a big reason for why people were allowed to get away with renegade panels and other fun shit.

>>42392498
What’s “The Fridge Horrors of G1” about?

>>42392647
>Many think G1 My Little Pony was all sweetness and light. This view is… mistaken. Join Arcane Flame on a journey through the fridge horror of G1 Ponyland—from deadly plants to eldritch monstrosities. You’ll never look at those sweet G1 ponies the same way again.

Hey, I saw this panel before. 6 years ago. At Bronycon.

>>42383836
>Obsessed

Anyone know when registration closes tonight?

>>42392526
It's made up. There was no mask mandate last year so they certainly weren't considering it this year

>>42392841
Midnight

Hey /mlp/. I was the fag that stole and read off the big list of "hate symbols" a few years ago. (anything you read about the grifter that runs this con is probably true regarding that list, the pizza being withheld, etc.)
Why any of you are still giving these people money kind of puzzles me, but oh well. I'm not attending, but I might swing by and say hi at some point during the weekend. Ruckmoor Lounge is right down the street, although it's been a few years since I've been there. Let's go to the bar and hang out for a bit. I'll be in the folded boonie hat and green coat.
>>42387038
Nothing, fuck off, we're full.

>>42392896
I'm in the lobby for the next 10 to 15 minutes for anyone who wants to grab a drink. Holy shit this music is awful.

>>42392896
>Hey /mlp/. I was the fag that stole and read off the big list of "hate symbols" a few years ago. (anything you read about the grifter that runs this con is probably true regarding that list, the pizza being withheld, etc.)
Based as fuck, a true hero
>grifter
Really? I wasn't aware of that detail

>>42393148
I mean, you tell me if this show is a grift. Shitty panels, furries, constant "fundraising"... Where does the money go?

>>42393153
That explains it, yep. I may be retarded.

>>42392660
Crunch the Rockdog? Awesome!

>>42392662
Stop being gay.

>>42392896
Ended up talking to a bunch of rednecks who were tailgating out by their truck, probably the last five based dudes at the whole con. They remind me of myself 7 or 8 years ago, saying that they're going to turn the convention scene around, things will get better, etc. I feel bad but they're so young and that they didn't get to experience the convention age at its prime. They should have taken their ADHD meds tho, motherfuckers needed to calm the fuck down. God help them once they get old enough to drink.

>>42383616 (OP)
I'll be vending there, call me a faggot and I'll give you a discount.

>>42393564

I was there, the guy with the laptop who had the army stories and gun pics/vids, and smoking. Who were you?

>>42393900
Your fellow E4 mafia member that was so interested into vids of the guns you had. I had the folded boonie and green jacket.

does anyone know where to get the anonfilly hawaiian shirt someone was wearing in the lobby today

come to lobby faggots

>>42393927
They'll be on sale at marefair this year

>>42393984
who's selling it?

>>42393993
Moozua

5 am who up

6 am I survived the night shift please someone come to lobby I'm starting to see fake people and I refuse to sleep please

>>42394134
you still there?

>>42394248
sadly yes it's daylight out and the deafening darkness has since passed

almost 8 am and there's finally real people here again...... bronies real

>>42393900
Have you ever fucked a deer?

I've been coming for 11 years and the con has really gone to shit. I don't understand why though. Why would a fucking pony convention have so much drama and stupidity? I went to the vendor hall and it was maybe 40% G4. What happened???
