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!

After time adrift among open stars
Among tides of light and to shoals of dust
I will return to where I began
This must happen. Just tossing in my support for it.
I see what you did there.
In all seriousness, I was hoping for a chance to apologize for accidentally skeeving out Mr. Wheaton after East last year. Oh well, there's always next year. Although, waiting two years to remind someone of what is most likely a complete non-event might look kinda odd.
Think I'll just let that go...

This is an excellent idea!
I love the standee/poster idea. i'll keep an eye out for it all weekend.
The Aeofel mention is cool too, though it doesn't really say anything of PAX. The OP should add a poll to the topic, if it can be modified in such a way?

I considered using these guys for my high school reunion.

If we/someone has to go all arts-and-craftsy on this, an 8-bit Cardboard Wheaton is probably the easiest option. Maybe? I'm still hoping that this will, a)get approval and, b)that one of us can find a way to procure/fabricate a standee.
EDIT: Heh, the Justin Bieber w/ a Wil head attached is a pretty funny idea.
EDIT: Also, I agree that the 8 bit Wheaton idea is awesome, if someone had the skills of an artist to do it.
Ideally, perhaps combining both: an 8-bit Wesley Crusher in 8-bit Star Trek: TNG uniform. That would rock.
Or perhaps a cutout of a Minecraft character skinned to look like Wesley Crusher in a TNG uniform? It would be difficult to pull off, but it could even be 3-dimensional at that point! That would rock so hard. Just use the skin as a frame of reference for creating the giant cutout, print the skin on some huge paper, cut/paste/tape/build a stand!
... I may be overthinking this. =)

I was thinking it can't be an actual cut-out. There are going to be so many who will want to sign it. There has to be quite a bit of white space so people can put their John Hancock down.
Maybe we'll just use floating head and shoulders, do something creative, make a floating city island out him. And I've used a company called c-4 Designs for posters and vinyl. Could be a cheap thing to do.
No man should have that kind of power.(Twitter)
Consider the petition begun!!! SO SAY WE ALL!! <3 <3 <3
(I prefer the Crusher/Scarf combo- that Aeofel idea was a nice touch. Not a big fan of the 8-bit)

Oh gosh, that seems so...wrong! Or oddly apropos, depending on your take on that series. Anywho. *crosses fingers in the hopes that a cardboard Wesley is in existence*
Nice! It needs to be huge though if we are ALL going to sign it.

Come to the Shadow Moses pre-PAX Game Night at the Boston Marriott Long Wharf!
I'm fine with fronting the cost for the standee and will take donations if others are interested. We just need to find a good pic of him to use (preferably with plenty of light space and no black for maximum scribble room.)
Moe, should I start a separate thread about this?
but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.

fair warning, I have no idea how good they are
Serious hack job in removing the lanyard...
Oh man, if we could add another level of recursion to this picture... we should get it on the front of a greeting card, and then give it to the standup to hold, and then take a picture of it.
SO MANY LAYERS. *o*
Why does this company even EXIST?! How do they stay in business?!? XD
--
If we do get a standup, can we get him a PAX scarf and a laynard? People can leave pins and trading cards for him that way.
Going to PAX East? Challenge the PAX Pokemon League! (Check our website for more details)
And I don't know about never-ending, but 6 - 8 feet, and a whole lot of space on the back-side too. Would have to limit people to just their names, no personal notes. Maybe a quick small sketch if someone thinks that would identify themselves.
Is there an estimation on how many people would sign it? A majority of people who show up? 50,000 people? 25,000? 70,000?
A banner or scroll might be an interesting alternative but that would take up a lot of space and require babysitting.
Keep ideas coming folks!!!
