ub3r_n3rd Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 I had a dream last night that I was at ReaperCon, watching and participating in the opening ceremony, We have opening ceremonies? My memories of 11 previous ReaperCons is that we open when I announce that my computer (with the reg desk details) is finally working again... Maybe you need to start some kind of awesome opening ceremonies now? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pegazus Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Some fanfare and giant posters unfurl. That'd be nice. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that those people waiting in line for a SWAG bag and badge and to buy tickets would probably rather me just open the line for transactions than listen to me speechifying.

ub3r_n3rd Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Here you go, you can thank me later: Get a Sophie that has an area sculpted to hold a candle set up in her hand. You light the candle, ring a cowbell (more cowbell is always needed), and then say "Fatality" so then it's officially open and the masses can surge forth to get their swag on. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DixonGrfx Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 ReaperCon can open once Matt stashes a couple con banners featuring Talin artwork in a hiding hole somewhere and screams "THE EASTER EGG HUNT STARTS NOW!" 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxstyles Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Oh my!!! there are less that two weeks until reapercon... I wonder if I can paint straight through until the start. I'm sure they will not have a problem with me finishing some stuff on the plane ride to dallas.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NomadZeke Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Want the line to move in a hurry, throw a piece of chocolate towards the front and watch chaos ensue. I'm joking of course 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxstyles Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 For opening ceremonies we can have a paint brush dipped in paint that must be carried from the heart of reaper to the convention site without the paint drying out. Then the brush bearer will run in and place the first brush stroke on the ceremonial Sophie miniatures to signal the start of the con. At the end the brush will be returned to the heart of reaper when it will wait until next year. It must never touch the ground or dry out. Maybe I am over thinking this.... 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
