Chaoticon XVII

Redesta's picture

Crimson Circle will be doing demos the whole wekeend of Chaoticon. Chaoticon is an event put on by the UWGB Gamer's club held at UW-Green Bay. We want to try to recruit some raiders for the Great Northern Battle. It will be at UWGB with a very small entrance fee.

We will need at least 2 people committed to be there at all times - one to explain how the game is played and one to run weapon-making. The more other people that are around, the better. (I couldn't make an event with tims slots, since we won't need people overnight)

Chaoticon runs Friday from 7-10, Saturday 10-10 and Sunday 10-10. We will be there the whole time, but want to run battlegames and quests at certain times, a newbie quest with us as the monsters. (non-Crimson Circle people more than welcome also)

Also we would like to have a weapon-making booth. Give people a chance to make weapons, and maybe make us a bit of money in the process.

Chaoticon was a huge success

Chaoticon was a huge success for us, so thank you to everyone that was able to come out for part or all of it! There is a lot of new interest in Amtgard as a result, and the new players already have their first weapons ready to go. Everyone that stepped up to help deserves a congratulations for a job well done.

I'm sure some of you are still as sore as I am from fighting all weekend or getting hit by arrows to the eyes, but it was definitely well worth it and a lot of fun!

I told you, i was just

I told you, i was just trying to see if my new arrows were safe enough....and they were! And as for dillon, someone needs to slap him around every now and then..

And don't worry all, we have

yes, but then she'd have to wear a hump on her back and switch which side it's on every now and then.

Yay Gene Wilder reference!

Nice job everyone!!! Some

Nice job everyone!!! Some Sacrifices are worth it.

For anyone that was not at

For anyone that was not at Chaoticon Friday, you are missing out on a good time. We had 31 people sign in, and a handful more that learned the game and were ditching. Some newbies made their own swords already and more plan to tomorrow. So if you were not there, try to make it out Saturday or Sunday. I had to print up more waivers tonight and everything!

Also on the ORK this week,

Also on the ORK this week, we top the list for most players, we beat out second place Western Gate by 16 people.

I think this weekend was a

Redesta's picture

I think this weekend was a great success. I just spent the last hour adding credits and waiver info. We had over 50 people participate on Saturday, about 30 the other 2 days, plus the many that didn't sign in. There were more than 40 weapons made. There were quite a few people that were very interested and came back multiple days. Hopefully we will be seeing more of them. Thank you to everyone that showed up, put up with the newbies, amd made our presence known.

I will be there for as much

I will be there for as much of it as I can. I plan on jumping in a few games, but otherwise I can help out where needed. I don't know what days I will be attending though. Probably most Friday and Saturday.

Quest Schedule: There will

Quest Schedule:

There will be quests run Friday at 7pm, Saturday at 6pm and Sunday at 10am. If we could get as many people at those times, that would be great! We will be needing people for the monsters roles.

Remember, you can get a credit for each day you are at Chaoticon - 3 in one weekend!

Sadly, I cannot be involved

Serrin's picture

Sadly, I cannot be involved in the weapon-making booth like ever. I will be at Chaoticon for a relatively limited amount of time and plan on running quest/battlegames for most of it.

I will do 2 pre-scheduled quests. The first one will be Saturday at 6, the other will be Sunday early (10?) Possibly another Sunday night at 6 if there is interest.

Quests!? Huzzah! (can i

Please sign up to volunteer,

Redesta's picture

Please sign up to volunteer, or if you don't want to run anything, let us know when you may be around. We also need to figure out the logistics of weapon making, and get together ahead of time to buy things and pre-cut some things.

I think we should plan a specific quest/battle game at least once a day. Probably early evening both saturday & sunday, give us time in the day to get people interested.

We need to get together to

Redesta's picture

We need to get together to go weapon supply shopping and probably do some pre-cutting. Anyone interested in helping me out with that? Anyone seen this type of thing done before to know how to prepare for it and how many to prepare?

You only need one to be

Jyotis Kadga's picture

You only need one to be pre-cut, so you can show them some basic techniques. Also, different people have different styles of making swords that enhances their personal fighting styles.

When things aren't pre-cut,

When things aren't pre-cut, there tends to be more waste. Although I am for doing the least amount of work possible :)

Redesta Me and Kazarian will

Me and Kazarian will probably be around later on friday and some if not most of the time on saturday if you need some people to be there. I'll also talk to Goron, Burk, and Tiberius tomorrow and see if they'll be there at all.

Yay! I have off

Yay! I have off sunday.

Karina and I will be there the whole weekend (except maybe the very beginning and end) I can fill in any slots as needed.

This weekend I would like to

Redesta's picture

This weekend I would like to talk about what we want to do exactly, obviously we will have to run quests when more of us will be able to be there. We need to have our form to gamers club in time for it to be added to the pre-printed schedule, so I'd like to get it all done soon.

I created one with volunteer

I created one with volunteer slots with the overnight ones filled in already. I can revert it to a non-volunteer event, but this might do the trick. Let me know what you think.
