Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

Ah well. Perhaps I'll grab one next East.
Hmm! Wonder who pointed that out to ya???
Also, thought itd be funny to share that... A. I have seen barely any of you people around!!! B. People think i am somehow involved in PAX because my badge is so huge, its phenomenal having people come up to me and say "Hey, what does that badge do?" to which i respond, "Bestow awesomeness unto the wielder."
Thank you so much for putting the badge together kropotkin; and it was nice meeting you!
Ditto. Though out of thousands of people it can't be helped.
Digital scavenger QR codes. Now there's something that I can't find. Will keep a keener eye out for both the net two days...
Edit: I wore mine like Gigabrain.
I've been wearing mine, got it underneath my 3 day pass.

I was wearing one! But we already traded... I had the same experience. Saw one person with a badge.
I proudly displayed mine today. Nobody asked me to trade, I was disappointed
but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.
I also have my hat on with my cards in my hat.
Whenever I spot a person with cards I've been yelling "CARD!" and holding one out toward them forcefully.

It looked absolutely amazing though, even better in person than the images in this thread.
When I went and picked it up on Friday the guy at the booth handing them out ended up asking me all the questions on the list. lol. I got them right obviously.
While I was walking around I did get a few wondering eyes looking at the badge and a handful asking me what it was. You should put VIP on it next time and really throw people through a loop.
however now that i think about it i've realised there was a distinct lack of the community coat or arms t-shirts. the only one i say was being worn by Kropotkin as he handed out the badges on Thursday night. a lil bit saddened by that and am now wishing i'd invested in one to help advertise the community. i may not post much or throw myself into the community events(though i really should do both), but this section of the forums and the people who post here are an incredible large part of what makes PAX so special and the more people that know about it the better both the board and PAX will be.
so to everyone that wore their badge, to everyone that signs up because they saw and asked about them, and especially to Kropotkin for putting in the time, effort and cost of designing, making and distributing(and the same to the others that helped with this) them i've got to give a huge Thank You and Well Done!!!
can totally relate to this. last year was my first ever con never mind my first PAX and between the keynote and then walking onto the expo floor i was in awe for most or the week end(still managed to pick up my badge ont he friday last year though:P).
as for the anxiety, well yeah, you'd think we'd all be able to get over that for at least 3 days but no.
/bows head in shame
Thanks again for the kind words and I will be designing PAX Prime badge very soon. Watch for the thread everyone!
that's all i was asked last year, this year it was simply ' are any or you on the forum?' to the group if was sitting with at the time.
am not really complaining since as i said the more badges out there the better, but yeah it does seem a lil cheap after you take the time to check(and double check) the questions so you don't mess up at the last second.
I think that was the setup, if your name was on it you didn't have to answer questions. I was asked if I was on it and when I said no, I got the questions.
If you attended the Pre PAX gaming event, then you got the badge as I was handing them out. You only have to ask questions at the BYOC desk, as it could be anyone that approaches for a badge and not be on the forums. The questions only act as a gate-keeper to non-forum folk looking for some swag :shock:
ah, didn't realises the questions where limited to the BYOC desk hand out. but again great work, both badges were worn and will be kept with pride.
Had a couple people ask about it so that was kind of cool told them about it/about the forums.
Same for me when I went to the BYOC desk. They asked if my name was on the back, what it was and then I got it. Sort of wanted to demonstrate my forum knowledge by answering the questions.
