Oh cool! Reminds me of an anecdote where a cosplayer got reported to a marshall by being so IC off stage that they were interpreted as harassing a fan.

As in they were being all grumpy and stuff as required by the character.

Man that was so cute. They really had to sort it out because the fan really felt that the cosplayer was trying to pick a fight with em. Lol.

Hope you guys have enough marshalls for that.

Since that means, we're allowed to be sarcastic jerks because our character say so with our competitors. I hope some IC cosplayer who's supposed to be sarcastic and mean doesn't end up cussing me in my face on that day! Damn. I wish I were a competitive cosplayer then. I'd love to be all tsundere and slap people across the face. XD

No srsly. Whut? O_o

...I really don't get why you guys have to put a time limit over being IC. Isn't being IC at all times like part of what makes Cosplaying = cosplaying in the first place?

Why put a time limit? Because it's tiring? Geez. It's part of what makes the activity bittersweet for crying out loud. xD

Putting all those, you must be IC and adding supplementary rules about it... Isn't that obvious that it's what should be done in the first place? Why keep emphasizing it... then taking out part of the fun of being IC.

Iunno with you guys but it's like a paradox to me. xD

Since like skits, being IC is sth that is subjective and definitely a personal property of the cosplayer. It's a 'each to their own interpretation of so and so' which makes it really meaningful. Since no matter how many people have cosplayed a particular no matter how overdone, no two cosplayers will ever carry that same person the same way. This Misa will always be different from the other Misa and so forth, if you're carrying my drift?

Oh come on. D: Every cosplayer will tell you that when they wear the costume and act them out, they feel good because they feel they have become the IC.

Why put a time limit? Because it's tiring?

Personally, I feel it's a slight insult saying that cosplayers can't stay IC whole day so you guys are just limiting the required time. >.>

That's just me. If no one else feels so, then just take it as a 'different perspective/my personal two cents' to think about.

Hahaha now now that sounds as if were being tyrannical about the rules. We are keeping the rules as open as possible. Take for example those who come in mascot type Cosplays or armour. Good enough that the venue this time is slightly air conditioned but i do believe from time to time that people would like to slip into something more comfortable and enjoy the convention. For those who would like to be IC all day by all means go for it . After all I said "you need not be" and not "you absolutely must not be IC unless it's this time". It's a convention after all and not just for Cosplay. The rules posted are for the competition and not Cosplaying on the event itself. What the time limit means is that they're being IC will be judged at that time.

On another note what makes Cosplay, Cosplay is too broad to answer. It's like asking an actor what's the best way to act. Ask him that and he'd give you a number of different methods to try out. The rules were meant to guide people and not restrict when in terms of Cosplaying. In fact most of the restrictions come only if it becomes a general hazard to the public and that's only for the competition, not Cosplay. The competition is open to everyone, novice and seasoned veteran alike. Relax the rules say nothing about not being IC, it only means that you dont have to be. Like i said earlier if you want to be by all means go for it .

I get that it's your opinion and all but honestly i had to point out the fact that it made us seem really strict about the rules. Not all the people may share the same opinion about the activity that you, I, or anyone else on istorya have. There are casual Cosplayers who would like to enter the competition for fun. If they want to be IC all day yay for us it makes the convention interesting.

cheers

[Hidan]

I am not cosplaying a pedo then. Mwahaha...

[kururulovescurry]

XD OSM Sauce everyone.

IC.IC.IC. So this eez eet.

Though a part of me also feels that the reason why it's limited only to a time could be that roaming judges who can judge if a cosplayer is really IC whole day would be too... Arunno. Insert blank? (THIS IS THE PART IT BECOMES RLY INTERACTIVE. Insert a word on the blank!) Who knows. XD; Not part of the committee anyway.

But Iunno.

If OF and pretty much other conventions around the world could pull off the whole day IC bit and still be able to grade as it should be, I don't see why you guys can't.

But I forgot.

This is Archcon.
