We'll have to see where they announce it's going to be before I commit to that though.

I don't understand why everyone wants it to be a different location all the time.

California is fine with me because it's close by. I would be really happy for Phoenix though since I live there.

As long as I drop a wad of cash on a lot of TFs I'm happy.

I just like variety. The bigger the variety, the more likely it's closer to me than the two extemes of Florida and California. I don't need it in my backyard, but anywhere between the Rocky Mountains and Appalaichan Mountains and I'll probably be there.

It has nothing to do with BotCon, it's about knowing where you live.

I suppose I did, but I was speaking generally of how you mods know more about me than I'd like you to know.
But it'll scare the slag out of me if a guy with an Australian accent shows up at my door and identifies me by my Seibertron username. I'll also become extremely paranoid if I start getting mail from Australia addessed to OptiMagnus10.
This is why I feel I cannot move to Australia. It would just make it that much easier for you to track me down.

Burn wrote:Because I said so. And Robofreak will agree with me, Counterpunch might as well. I know who won't though!

If these fan clubs are to be set up, I still demand compensation. Or maybe I should just shut the slag up and make you a slagging fan club.

No...Burn does not stay in one place. Burn is everywhere...watching. He has no confinements. He has no limitations. He cannot be avoided.
Like Chuck Norris, except he's not Chuck Norris...or IS he?

People always want it to be close by to them. Case in point, your post.

But the convention should move. It refreshes the dealer room, is an incentive to travel, and helps to reduce costs by allowing for various means of travel and the competition to host.

It should be in the heartland, where it is [sort of] convenient for all, where there is a [moderately] same distance for most, and you can get the same, if not better space for the convention.

Just my opinion.

So where in the midwest do you live?

The convention needs to hit Chicago, DC, Philly, Dallas and longshot...Seattle.

I suspect Chicago is upcoming myself. I've felt that Philly and DC were on the short list for the past three years. Which is lame because I'll be moving out of driving distance of those by the time they get there.

I'm partial to Chicago for geographical reasons, but it'd be cool to see it in Philly or DC. I'd be tempted to try to make to either of those next year.

I got a gut feeling that we're gonna see it in Chicago or Indianapolis next year though.

You are right, CP. New places attract new faces. When a convention is located year after year in the same location it causes locals to take it for granted and feel entitled to have their place "if they want it". People from the other side of the country who might have a great influence on the event are either not invloved at all, or they have to bust their butts to be part of it. It is good to mix things up a bit.

I would not mind Philadelphia. That would give my family some motivation to join me in my insanity and go visit some family as well. Granted it would have to be a trip since family is located in Pittsburg.

West Coast states are easiest for me due to my location obviously, but I think Phoenix would be a really good location. It's the 5th largest city in the US. The amount of coverage it would be able to get would be amazing and the convention centers out here are massive. The dealer room would be epic.

Funpub is more than welcome to bring Botcon back to Florida whenever they want. As an aside, if I had known Joecon was going to be in Orlando this year, I probably would have driven in for a day.

how will you become a hmw moderator?

Burn knows more, but I think it involves fighting him WHILE winning a debate against Shadowman.

Also, you have to eat at least 2 gallons of Vegimite within the course of 4 hours.

When Sustain acknowledges her role in the kitchen and stays there.

I don't I've ever seen her outside the HMW forums.

Also, that comment might get you killed.

She knows better than to attempt to hurt me.

She won't attempt. She'll just slaughter without mercy.

It will be slow and brutal.

Wow ... she's got you whipped good and proper.

Burn wrote:Wow ... she's got you whipped good and proper.

No, I just know my place in life.

But yes, I'll probably be completely whipped when I'm married, but I won't care.

EDIT: I still need to find that person first.

Just for that, I strike, no more food and I refuse to set foot in the kitchen!

As for how to become a hmw mod.. I just had fun with the game.




Ohh look posted outside HMW.. amazing.

It's true, say her name three times and she appears ... FROM THE KITCHEN!

I've seen what freedom is like and now I do not wish to return!

So what you're really saying is, "Freedom is the right of all sentient beings"?

I always knew you were a 'Bot deep down ...

No no no what I am saying is "Na na na na you can't make me go back!"

This conversation = wow

@Sustain:

What?? Female Transformer fans!? THEY DO EXIST!!!

I'm so depressed...

Man, I wish RPG Mods would post out of the RPG forum.

Yes we exist.

I have to admit I don't venture out much. I know my comfort zone and it isn't the kitchen.
