bigkid24 Posted July 14, 2008 Posted July 14, 2008 We still have a lot of seat open for the poker tournament so start inviting your friends to come out!! Yeah so come out and play with the poker donks of MW! Fold to the top! Or at least to 3rd for that Max doll! I'm conducting the Macross Trivia contest which is a first for MW con this year. Everyone should be able to participate. Trivia will span all of the Macross animes. If it's stated or done in the anime that's what I'm going by. I'm not including other sources such as books, manga, or whatever else. If there is anything you haven't watched now is the time or you can make a request during the show screenings on Saturday.

KiriK Posted July 15, 2008 Author Posted July 15, 2008 *Announcement!* Due to the overwhelming demand we are considering increasing the number of tickets for sale to make sure everyone has an opportunity. We have not made a final decision yet, but if the opportunity drawing sells out in the next couple of days and there is still a demand for tickets from eligible MacrossWorld members, we may increase the number of ticket sales to accommodate them. This decision is not yet final and will be dependent on ticket sales. Also, for those attending MacrossWorld Con and are planning to purchase tickets there, I would suggest reserving tickets by PM'ing me and you can pay for them at the con. Good luck Everyone!!! Quote

bigkid24 Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 We have a sick amount of freebies and prizes to give away this year. Much more than any previous year so this is the year to come if you love free stuff. I've seen all the stuff as it has come in and everything is so tempting to try and win especially the Mikimoto sketch. I just assumed it was on a piece of sketchbook paper or something but it's more substantial than that. It'll look great hanging in my...uh....some lucky MW member's collection. As for the poker tournament, come one come all to try to dethrone last year's poker tournament champion....ME! Of course, as long as I place I'll be happy. All of the prizes this year are great.

EXO Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 there's no buy-ins... just "donations". Prizes were also donated. Quote
misterryno Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 there's no buy-ins I was curious of that when Kiririth had mentioned that. So there are NO BUY-INs? If that is true...then good. Quote
KiriK Posted July 16, 2008 Author Posted July 16, 2008 call it an entry donation into the tournament if you will... haha... Quote
EXO Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 I was curious of that when Kiririth had mentioned that. So there are NO BUY-INs? If that is true...then good. well, it's a mandatory $25 donation to get into the tourney. Quote
misterryno Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 well, it's a mandatory $25 donation to get into the tourney. I know that much though. I was just wondering if there will be a buy in once the tourney is about to start? I thought it was open to those who paid ahead of time. I'm confused I think. Quote
bigkid24 Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 It's a terminology thing. It's a $25 donation to play in the poker tourney to try to win one of the prizes. We are trying to get people to pre-reg for the tourney but last year we allowed late comers to register for the tourney. Once you are busted out of the tourney you cannot re-donate to get back into the tourney. Once you're out, you're out. Quote

orguss01 Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 Hey did SOL ever come up with a T shirt design for this year???Just gonna print up the flyer art work?? hate to see this CON not have a shirt..especially after all this planing and prep work. Quote

I thought it was mentioned earlier that there would be a shirt. Not for certain though. Quote
KiriK Posted July 17, 2008 Author Posted July 17, 2008 Solscud is working on getting the shirts printed in time for the con... hopefully he'll pull through... as far as prices go for the vendors... Treasure Island usually has fair market prices for their macross merchandise when its not a low stock item... however their prices have been known to go up with inflation prices for rarer items... I've gotten quite a number of good deals from them... i'm not sure about Toyhell's prices but they are based in LA... Quote
