The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
Anybody you met/saw this PAX that was even more amazing than usual? Want to thank somebody for doing something awesome, or share a cool experience? Feel free to add your own!
As for me:
When you are running solo, it's always nice randomly running in to cool people, so I want to give a shout-out to the folks who I chatted / played Bang Dice and Boss Monster with in line for the Friday concerts. People like you are what make PAX so enjoyable.
Also, thank you to the attendee who was up at Falcon theatre offering back massages to Enforcers. Seriously, you have no idea how huge of a difference that made at the end of my shift.
Last but certainly not least, thanks to all you folks from the cookie brigade for giving time and energy for a fantastic cause. And the (edit: holy autocorrect batman!) cookies were delicious.
I think the enforcers and attendees. I lost my 3ds case and was so worried.Sunday I went to lost and found they had it. This con is great that someone would not steal my case or take my games but turn it in
In the line for the Guild Wars 2 panel we started playing my game Shootout! with some strangers in the line. After the game one guy says "since you shared something with me, let me share something with you" and gives us each one of the homemade metal bracelets he was wearing. It was just so cool and touching to have someone appreciate the game so much and reciprocate in such an unexpected way. Whoever you are, bracelet guy, thank you so much for the highlight of our convention!
We shared a room with someone from the forums who was super cool and unfortunately he and his budy were not actually able to make it to most of PAX and never did spend the night but they did pay me for their room since we had all agreed to the room share and as a starving artist I cannot tell you how incredible it was that they stood by their monetary commitment despite not using the room. I didn't even have to bring it up. It was so cool of them to do that. That may not seem like much but it really enabled me to have a stress free PAX and I hope that whatever is going on at home, that it all works out for him.
Shout out to the number of random solo strangers that hung out with my group. We are always happy to adopt new friends. and I wish all the best to all of them
I have to shout out to the first person who stopped me to take my photo of my cosplay (pokemon breeder). I was quite nervous when I first got there since it was my first time cosplaying. Specially because the first other cosplay I saw was amazing! (Grunt from mass effect it blew my mind!) Anyways it just was a big confidence boost and made my whole day better!
