Convention, anyone?

Post » Sun Jun 17, 2012 2:25 pm

Damn, I actually won't be able to participate in this convention. Too much stuff going on right now.

You sure? :confused:

You can still hold your spot and just post WHENEVER you have time, which doesn't have to be often at all.

I'll give it a try, but it'll be infrequent depending on the day.

I have two quick questions:
1. Where was the energy from Helios One directed?
2. This is my first convention so i'm a tad confused but i've been reading your previous conventions. Since I represent the Chairmen, am I supposed to RP as Swank? Or as a Chairmen representative?

When are we starting? And where will it be hosted? I nominate the creepier Ultra-Luxe.

From what I gather, Gingy wants us to make our own ambassadors. As in, people from our respective factions who will speak on their behalf. So, make a chairman. Give him a back-story and personality if you wan.

He said tonight. Dunno about location.

You're the Mojave chapter, unless you really want the West Coast BoS to show up.

That's fine. I just wanted to make sure.

I am going to use Emisarry-General Vargas from the American Convention, if any of you guys remember.

He said it will be ready tonight, but he's going to release it in the morning.

We've never done it in the Ultra Luxe, so I figured we could do it there this time around.

Should I just make someone up for the gun runners? If I'm not mistaken there is no leader.

When there's no known leader, or even if there is, you can be as creative as you want with your leader (within Fallout's reality).

Where was the energy from Helios One directed? This could affect many factions.

Edit: My dad had surgery so i'll be helping to take care of him. I will probably be less active than usual, but I should be able to keep up with everyone (hopefully).

Fremont and Westside.

Most of this will be in the OP tomorrow.

No need to quote yourself. Even people like me have to sleep. You're on the list.

Lol, I apologize.

No worries. I'll put the convention up once some people get up.

A few things to keep in mind:
-If you have no idea what you're doing, then either wait for the more experienced posters to make their entrance to see how it works, or even better, read the links that I put on one of my posts on this thread.
-Do not overdo your posting on this thread. We have a LOT of people in this, so I don't want to hit the post limit every five minutes. If you need to reply to multiple people talking to you in the thread, make a multi-quotes, not multiple posts.
-Try to use good grammar or people probably won't take you very seriously.
-Under NO conditions will people role-play fight. It stirs up the thread and is very annoying.
-Try not to make OP posts. "Oh, we'll nuke you sky-high if you don't give us money," etc.
-I don't know who has done the DLCS, so while there are a few DLC-oriented factions, don't make MAJOR DLC spoilers.
-For the people who are playing classic factions, I'm not going to make any lore for them, so use your knowledge of those factions and/or read the wiki when making an opening-post and back story. The entire House ending will be in a spoiler tag on the opening post.
-If you are an ass to the other ambassadors, you aren't going to make very many deals. It's good to have friends at these conventions.
-Don't stress out if suddenly you don't see the convention in the General Discussion. 90% of the time, after about a day, the admins move the conventions to the Art and Fan Fiction section. We simply put it in the General Discussion for attention.
-DON'T use the convention for OOC related stuff. If you want to say something out of the roleplay, come to this thread. I'll put a link to this on the convention itself.\
-I'm 100% sure that there will be multiple (maybe even 3-or-4) threads for every convention because there are a lot of people, and we will hit the post limit fast. If we hit post limit, we follow up on it by quickly making a new thread, but we don't do anything fancy. We just go right where we left off.
-House in ways can be OP because his position has a lot of power, but the representative (me) will try his best not to become totally OP.

A few really important things:
-Some people really do have lives even in the summer, so if someone doesn't post, well it obviously means that they are busy or doing something else, so don't pressure people into posting when they don't have the time. That was one of the big issues in some of the older conventions.
-Try to take it at least a tad bit seriously. There are a lot of people in this convention. The list of factions has tripled in size since last time, and we are making progress in filling all the spaces.
-Have fun! Again, the convention will go up soon. I'm trying to make the OP pretty so that it can get even more attentions.

Here it is: http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1384349-the-ultra-luxe-convention/

Requesting thread lock.

This thread doesn't mean anything now that the convention is up. Not to mention I made an OOC thread for the convention.
