SimuCon is just around the corner and this year will be better than ever! Come help us celebrate ten years of SimuCon!
We recently ran a poll about SimuCon to hear from you about what you would like to see. Here are some of the changes we have made to SimuCon as a result!
More Quality Time with GMs!
An overwhelming number of you have made it clear that you'd rather spend time talking with each other and with the GMs instead of three days of lectures and seminars. Your wish is our command! On Thursday, our normal course of Guild and Profession seminars will take on a new look as we have our various Guild Team members present and ready for your questions. All afternoon several tables will be arranged in the ballroom where our Guild and Profession Teams will be present at their respective tables, ready to take notes and talk to you in a much more informal setting than has been done in the past. Gone are the days of multiple guilds meeting at the same time which force you to pick one or the other! This year, our Teams will be available on Thursday when YOU are ready to talk to them. Spend the entire afternoon with one team or divide your time between them all: The choice is yours!
On Friday, we'll do much the same thing, but this time we'll cover Game Systems, instead. Want to talk to the GM in charge of the Premium Homes? Want to chat with the GM who handles the Horse System? Need some quality time with the Combat Guru? All you need to do is look for the signs on the tables and find the GM that covers that system and head on over! All the GMs in attendance will be present and waiting for you!
On Saturday, we'll be offering some of the normal seminars, as well as the usual State of Elanthia/Morada/Greece discussions for each game, but even those seminars will be based on your votes! Expect the polls soon and tell US what you want to talk about!

Extremely lame im my opinion. That just turns me off from it for some reason.

Just a silly question here.......but what entitles an Out of Game Event participant to have an IG memento.
Fair enough - something like the raffle at VegasCon that was great. Each winner can make an IG story up as to how they got each individual item. However if everyone gets the same item (ie. like the migration key) which has no IG significance, doesn't this seem a little .....odd?
On another level, doesn't this just show everyone else that these people could afford/live close to SimuCon?
Which in turn kind of makes it unfair for all those who don't live in a) the area or b) the country.
Thank you all for listening to my little bitch session.
Also if this goes ahead.......could we also get 'Thank you gifts' for turning up to "VegasCon" and "AussieCon' and "NOCon"?
Just a though.

If memory serves, this isn't the first time Simucon goers got to attend a festival first. Or was it a new area? I can't remember. Anyhow, I don't see it as an insult to those who can't go, I see it as a thank you to those who could. (which isn't me, sue to the timing)
Why get upset when other folks get something nice? Seriously, its just text in a game. they aren't getting instant levels or ranks, so how does it really affect anyone else if they get a nifty trinket or get to shop a week before the rest.
Learn to be happy for other people.

There is nothing more liberating than dancing barefoot.

I believe it was P4 that they got to visit first, and even ride on the Seerah before it got wrecked.

Thats exactly what it was. From Simu98 we got a code number, we typed the code number in the game, and we got "poofed" a "friendship ring" that was in the language of whatever characters race we typed it with. And then that character got admitted via the ring to the Seerah.
The maiden voyage took approx 6 hours to get there. That was because the whole boat system was a new thing then.
I was on the boat, and I was the first one to make it onto the Ratha Wanted boards. <I stole a crossbow from the Chandlers shop..... All that riding made my fingers itch>.

A scavenger troll arrives, scouring the area.
The scavenger troll exclaims, "I dinks I like da' Moongate!"
The scavenger troll bends over and picks up the Moongate. After appraising it, the troll places the Moongate in its frayed knapsack

I don't see anything wrong with that, hell, I think it would be nice if we got to choose a custom title or verb for going to the con. Folks had to pay 200 bucks to get those things at that last fest which was ridiculous. I am going to the con, I shelled out my hard earned money. I want something to show for it other than some empty promises of things to come in the next lifetime and a coffee mug. I pay enough money to DR to have more than earned that privellege. I don't like the idea of the fest thing because not everyone that goes to the con HAS loads and loads of plats. I wouldn't mind it so much if there was a token auction there, for just the people that went to the con. THAT could be cool. I would be all for that. Would be nice to have a shot at some of these super cool and super rare items out there. Without having to pay even MORE RL MONEY to get them. Starting to babble...
