edited July 2006 in PAX Archive
This has been brought up time and time again, but I would like to reiterate.

Before you show up for PAX on the first day, please shower or bathe.

Please bring more than one change of clothes with you if you plan on playing DDR.

Please bring and wear deodorant.

The Console, Tabletop, or BYOC are not the place to leave smelly clothes that you have changed out of, please put them in your room or car.

If you are drinking BAWLS, do not set the empty bottle on linolium or a hard surface.

Please do not slap other people while playing rock paper sissors and get everyone thrown out of a hotelroom.

If you do not play DDR, Guitar Heros, or Beatmania, please do not make fun of the people that do.

Please breathe through your nose and not your mouth, and at a level at which the people around you cannot hear.

Please do not indugle, consort, or encourage the people from G4.

Do not draw Goatse or talking penises on pictochat.

Do not stare at the Frag Dolls for more than 5 minutes straight.

Do not yell pwned noob, unless it has comical reference.

Do not constantly tell the guys from Red VS Blue about your awsome idea for an episode.

Do not follow Mike or Jerry for the entire Expo.

Please do not hinder or obstruct the Enforcers.

Please do not follow the girl Enforcers around.

Please do not sit or lean over the rails on the upper floors.

Please don't be a dick.

Please don't be an ass.

Please have fun.

    I was thinking of drawing one of these up myself, but you covered... well, pretty much all the important points.

    Thanks for the to-do list! :twisted:

    I agree to everything except the PictoChat rules.

    You can't take my right to draw goatse away.

    edit: also, yelling "pwned n00b" never has a comical reference. It is never comical.

    #1 is optional. It all matters if you feel like getting ran over if you are in the way or not.

    Avoid the female enforcers at all costs, they will go hulk on you and tear your head off.

    Given the amount of DS's last year and the amout of people have purchased ds's and ds lights, Do you really think you could stop the flood of goatse/penis/adult humor?

    Oh, as well as.. Im betting almost every other person will have a ds if not more.

    So, first of all, you are going to rob me of my right to draw talking penises the first year I will have a ds at pax?!? You are a bastard. Secondly, if I cannot draw talking penises as according to your rules, I want you to know that I will draw many silent penises just the same. because your rules have not prohibited that.

    For the record, I left the hotel room before the rock paper scissors slap face-a-thon got people kicked out. When that started, I realized, "Wow, this party just got really lame" and went downstairs to a better party (and did not get kicked out of that one because, unlike the people that followed me down, I had my own beer)

    What's the story behind this rock, paper, scissors fiasco? I live close by, so I went home in 2005 to recoup when PAX was closed. Will someone message me to fill me in?

    The party on the sixth floor, 628 I think, ran out of beer almost right when i got there. Mind you, I had beer in my backpack, and as soon as people found out they were all over me to get a beer, so I tried to keep it on the DL. So, since they were all out of beer, some idiot decided they would play rock paper scissors and the winner got the slap the loser as hard as he could. It didn't take me long to figure out that this party sucked, so I left. I went down to the band party on the 5th floor, and soon after the rest of that party came down. Shortly after that, MC Chris (pictured below) booted people out for being beerless (and wanting to drink other people's beer). I went down to my room on the 3rd floor (lovingly referred to as "Sealab") and picked up the 18 pack of MGD waiting for me, restocked my backpack and headed back up. That 18 pack was the only reason I was allowed back into the party. Note to those attending other people's parties, bring some alcohol and you will be welcomed with open arms.

    I hope that's an adequate explanation

    Nothing shall stop me from goatse-ing up the Pictocock.

    As for other rules: If you have a 3 foot long beard please be sure to wash it, or at least wring it out outside, or into a bucket, occasionally.

    If you want to at the girls; stare as long as you like. It just makes us laugh. If you decide to get physical, however, chances are you'll regret it.

    WASH YOUR HANDS. Many many people came down with various sicknesses last year after PAX, so please try and keep as clean as possible. If you ask, chances are someone will let you use their hotel shower.

    Those Doubletree cookies are delicious. Please share accordingly.

    If you find someone passed out, please put them in the recovery position. recovery-position.gif

    If you find someone passed out, you may draw whatever you like on their face, once you have put them in the recovery position.

    Keep a good grip on your Bawls at all times.

    Yes. You may only draw on someone's face after you've put them in the recovery position. If you're going to write

    > on somebody's face when they've passed out, best make sure they'll live to see the humiliation.

    I'd say it's justified. Very few of the PAX attendees are forum-goers, and as such that majority are like the rest of the internet. OMG L@@K A GURL!
