seriously considering going, since I need to make way to Vancouver almost exactly the same time anyhow. probably won't announce that I'm MacGyver though. Do we need to register with our characters or something or can we go anonymous?

I went to a SimuCon like 5 or 6 years ago. It was a lot of fun. During the day they'd talk about improvements and class balances or whatever, stuff involving the game.. At night you'd play games, like we had blind GS.. On person was blind folded and two others were telling them what to type and you try to kill the other team doing the same. We also had a free run of Night at the Academy. It was really easy since we were all in the same room. You also drink a lot.

If you hold it in Vegas, you might whip up a quick slot machine program playable on a laptop, 10k,25k,50k pulls. Jackpot is 25,000,000 silvers. Could be fun.

You remove a circular green slate chalkboard from in your black leather coat.

>l my chalk

There appears to be something written on the chalkboard. In the Common language, it reads: "THE LIST OF JERICHO: 1) Mick Foley for screwing over Y2J, Y2J's best friend Kevin Owens, and this entire show's terrible fashion sense. 2) WWE fan in Memphis, Tennessee. *** LIST OF STUPID IDIOTS *** Enzo Amore and Big Cass, The Shining Stars, The New Day, The Club (Gallows and Anderson) 3.

I have a work engagement that will last through earlier in the day on Friday, but I hop on a quick Denver flight to Simucon to arrive late Friday night and attend through Sunday. What tends to happen on the back end of the Con?

I'm trying to assess whether it is worth going as I could pair it with a trip mto visit friends in St. Louis. Though I'm honestly kinda bummed now that I never bothered to attend Simucon in the 90s or early 2000s when it was probably a better attended event.

Not sure how you're purchasing these or whatever, but there's a chance you may be able to save a few bucks by going with reflex blue instead of PMS 662. Reflex blue is a base color that doesn't require mixing, 662 is just reflex blue with a tiny splash of yellow mixed in with it, nobody would notice the difference.

It's basically you're all in the same room playing Gemstone together with some small intermittent events and you eat some good food at the local restaurants. I had a good time when I went meeting some of my long time friends but I also would get frustrated not many people seemed to want to put their computers down. I'm a dreaded morning person and most people that play/went are night owls so that probably didn't help my experience haha.

The colors didn't change the price, and these were a pretty good deal.

50 for $55.

Most places wanted like 150$ for 50.

Not sure how you're purchasing these or whatever, but there's a chance you may be able to save a few bucks by going with reflex blue instead of PMS 662. Reflex blue is a base color that doesn't require mixing, 662 is just reflex blue with a tiny splash of yellow mixed in with it, nobody would notice the difference.

Do you work in the print industry? Not many people know this kind of stuff.

Also the pricing scheme was weird. I could buy 25 for like 65-70$ but 50 was 55$.

Been a family trade for 3 generations now. Last press I ran was an 8-color 40 inch Heidelberg speed master.

Was worth a shot, it is a good price for sure.

Ha! I got started in a lithography shop pulling paper for the pressmen. Moved to prepress then 4 color stripping. Eventually became a scanner operator and retoucher for a shop in NY.

You're paying for initial costs such as design, cost for the silk screen, machine make ready time etc.

But wouldn't all that still have to be done for the 50, plus added material costs. Why it seems weird that 50 is less than 25. I'm not complaining though.

Yeahm, I'd figure they'd cost ATLEAST the same, or more.

After your initial costs all your paying for is materials, labor and machine time. I would imagine most of your upfront cost is in making the screen which could probably be used for thousands of lanyards. Most likely they will keep your silk screen stored on a shelf for a few years.

They can probably only order the blank lanyards in x amounts, so they would end up having to store whatever blanks they have left. Production type industry is moving further and further away from keeping inventory on hand for a wide variety of reasons.

Sounds like some of the events need to include exercise. Googling Simucon pictures is scary.

I have to agree, I couldn't really make out what the blue said but figured it said GemStoneIV. Black with white lettering looks much better.

It's basically you're all in the same room playing Gemstone together with some small intermittent events and you eat some good food at the local restaurants. I had a good time when I went meeting some of my long time friends but I also would get frustrated not many people seemed to want to put their computers down. I'm a dreaded morning person and most people that play/went are night owls so that probably didn't help my experience haha.

...but we had pancakes together, and it was morning!

This year, I won't have school to finish and I'll have my boys. Highly likely limited computer use will be happening. Also, I might wear a wig because my hair is still regrowing and it's not long enough for my preference.

I would totally show up for that, been to Philly and Boston but really want to see DC sometime.

One should never go to Philly. They murdered Hitchbot. Philadelphia is racist against robots. Also Sesame Place sucks.
