I want to let you know that your West Coast RRPS competition has been an inspiration to us posers East Coasters who can't attend Fanime, so we'll be bootlegging it for the second year in a row at AnimeNEXT '10. Here's a belated thanks, man!

Awesome, I didn't know that you'd been bootlegging it! How did it go last year? Do you have any pictures?

ohniki May 21 2010, 02:08:46 UTC

Sadly, no pictures.

We were overwhelmed by the amount of people that showed up and there were a few technical issues: we couldn't get our working scoreboard to project, we didn't have enough cards to go around, we had to make up a bracket on the spot so everyone could play, etc. But despite all the hiccups, people seemed to really enjoy it, so I guess it went well.

It's just too bad people pussied out of the Algorithm March punishment.

I wish there were some way to make our version consistent with yours.

WHAT. THEY PUSSIED OUT? Oh man you should have broken some kneecaps. We lock 'em in the panel room and tell them they can't leave until they do the punishment. Works just fine.

We do our scoreboard manually, since the guy who was going to write us a program for one didn't have the time to complete it.
How did you work out the bracket? We just have people line up in two equal rows and just pair them off to do a first forced battle to level the playing field, and then set them loose.

Mann, I wish I'd heard about this earlier so I could go... Anyone going to be taping it? ^^;

We always tape our punishment sessions. The past two can be seen here:

THE CAKE... IS IT A LIE?

I am seriously looking forward to old-man-hee-hee-ing and drooling at all the participants.

astrokittie May 19 2010, 02:56:41 UTC

NO, IT IS REAL. I think we had 4 cakes last year.

Are you down with tissue box raffling? Cause I'll go buy another box of tissues if you are.

Let's talk about it on the weekend/other time we are both online?
