Encyclopedia Dramatica:Lulzcon 08 planning

From Encyclopedia Dramatica
Jump to navigationJump to search

Lulzcon 2008 will be the 3rd annual ED sponsored convention of those in favor of lulz. However, a lot of things need to be resolved. Most importantly, where it's gonna be held and who's gonna do the planning. So we enter stage 1 of Lulzcon 2008 planning: Where and by who? ARE THERE ANY MANSIONS OUT THERE?

Put what city you think it should be at (add new sections if you like) and put if you would be willing to take charge and plan this shit up in here.

If you are too stupid to remember to put your name or ~~~~ people will probably laugh at you and then not count your vote.

Voting system: every city starts out with -10,000 points. Every person who votes adds 1 point to the total. A planner is worth 10,001 points. Every planner after the first is worth 1 point. If no cities pass 0, lulzcon will be cancelled.


POSSIBLE CITY LOLCATIONS (vote for where you want it, not necessarily where you live

San Francisco

A majorly lulzy city with a high concentration of EDiots and Dramacrats. --   OldDirtyMudkips    11:46, 5 October 2007 (CDT)

  • Seconded! -- | »⇔«¿ 12:06, 5 October 2007 (CDT)
  • You could IRL troll the most pc town in the US - Berkeley. Tfo Talk to me Listen to me. 13:51, 5 October 2007 (CDT)
  • h64
  • I might actually be able to come if it were held there! --Dr. Strangelurk 05:47, 6 October 2007 (CDT)
  • Fucking loud and clear YESSSSTH!! on this one. It would be super fabulous. --Drunkenlazybastard 22:44, 6 October 2007 (CDT)
  • I would be more than glad to help plan if it means I can take the BART into the city, and not have to spend IRL monies on a plane ticket. YawningGlory 22:44, 7 October 2007 (CDT)
  • oh holy fuck yes Leam 13:35, 8 October 2007 (CDT)
  • also, fags, bart, ediots, dongs, and delicious food make for a great time. Leam 13:37, 8 October 2007 (CDT)
  • Win.--Kirbytime 19:46, 8 October 2007 (CDT)
  • I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to pull some strings at some major hall at SF State or UC Berkeley to get the student union to let us use their gym or student pub or whatever... it's just getting to know those strings. OR WE CAN RENT OUT THE MOSCONE CENTER LIKE WONDERCON!!! --Nw 06:30, 10 October 2007 (CDT)
  • Definitely will be there if it's held here! Moscone Center sounds like a good location. Or IRL troll the niggas in Oakland. I know people at my college who would go too. --Galvatron 03:41, 24 October 2007 (CDT)
  • This is the world capital of IRL trolls. For sheer amusement and things to do, it's hard to vote against. --DC--Jfyiadch 23:32, 30 December 2007 (CST)

Los Angeles

  • OldDirtyBtard -lives in Hollyweird and has venues, sponsors, 'connections' etc. Also has mad planning skeellz and experience in this areas.
  • Sheneequa - can talk with whoever would be willing to be main planner, but wouldn't physically do anything.
  • dh - will fuckin do whateves as long as he gets to break some fucking TEETH
  • If you guys do it here in LA, over 9000 will come.--Leviuqse 00:01, 5 October 2007 (CDT)
  • Attendance would be epic. Also moar affordable than SF or NYC. Tfo Talk to me Listen to me 13:51, 5 October 2007 (CDT)
  • This is the place where lulz happenz.^^ 17:23, 5 October 2007 (CDT)
  • So many would attend, it wouldn't even be funny. But I'm laughing anyways, haha.--Your Face 03:20, 6 October 2007 (CDT)
  • This place has so much lulz, I would definately help out in any way
  • Closest to me, I doubt anyone would vote for Phoenix, Arizona anyway. -- JailBait talk contribs 18:40, 7 October 2007 (CDT)
  • I'm down. Konstantin 00:19, 1 February 2008 (CST)
  • FUCK YEAH, LOS ANGELES!  Chunkmunky  00:31, 27 March 2008 (CDT)
  • Los Angeles sounds quite good for lulzcon... tons to do in LA. I am possibly down for 'Frisco too. --pyrii

Chicago

anonymous34

  • Cause chicago is a great city, also I have friends there I could stay with (inb4 anon has no friends) TheCrab 21:11, 7 October 2007 (CDT)
  • Chicago sounds great I might even go this time . BTW is there any videos from LULZCON07 ? Killermofojoe99
  • DO IT FAGGOT chicagofag nigra wants here

-User:Star_Wars_Fan

New York

  • Apart from location location location, NYC is expensive, expensive, expensive. I have peoples and places there that could make Lulzcon happen but finding accommodation would make this cost prohibitive for nearly everyone. --   OldDirtyMudkips    11:25, 5 October 2007 (CDT)
  • I would actually attend if it was held here. --Emoskank 23:11, 4 October 2007 (CDT)
  • New York is pretty much the winningest city of all time, and it would be cool if lulzcon moved across the country every three years like so: West Coast (LA), Flyover Fatty Land (Chicago), East Coast (NY). --Spacey 08:05, 5 October 2007 (CDT)
  • Oh fuck yeah New York would be awesome. [1 ]--JewCub 13:36, 6 October 2007 (CDT)
  • New York would be alot closer for us who don't/can't travel across the entire freakin US. --16bit 03:47, 7 October 2007 (CDT)
  • I'm up for New York, 2 hour train ride to Penn Station (few blocks from Time Square) is easier than flying. --Syraxis 06:00, 7 October 2007 (CDT)
  • I live in New York. I can get to the city in no time. FUCK YEAH, NEW YORKERS! Son Kevin 13:24, 9 October 2007 (CDT)
  • There are a lot of lulzy people in NYC (especially in certain colleges) who would love to have Lulzcon here. The longest it would take anyone to get to Lulzcon is 2 hours from anywhere in the five boroughs. Make it happen!

Philadelphia

  • Was suggested in the Lulzcon 07 page by quite a few people. Philadelphia Lulzcon would be fucking boss IMO, since it means I don't have to fly to get there. YAY --Pocketjew 18:38, 4 October 2007 (CDT)
  • FUCK YES PHILLY - lepraconog
  • yes you cunt - Murko
  • This has potential win. Is it as expensive as New York City would be? --Fag
  • Philly is cheaper to stay in and travel to, and I live there FTW - T-Man

Washington DC

  • Lots of black people to offend. All of the people that work in the hotel industry there are black so there would be much lulz during the activities for lulzcon. The city is easily assessable by walking or by taking the metro so no one would need to rent a car to get around. Lulzcon in the nation's capital, it's more likely than you think.--Benoittroller
  • bring the lulz to the US capitol! the lulz potential is >9000 -jtpinhead
  • iawtc. We could go to Dupont Circle for the fgts and then to Anacostia to troll irl and get ruined. Also, Holocaust museum. 'nuff said. --Philaster 04:10, 7 October 2007 (CDT)
  • Troll the reps and bush.. right before election time! -Arogon

Nawlins

  • 24 hour drinking, gambling, strippers, drinking, best food in America, drinking etc. Also really cheap post-Katerina. I have a couple of connections there.--   OldDirtyMudkips    11:42, 5 October 2007 (CDT)
  • iawtc, it's DIRT CHEAP, con-friendly and the only place where a midget in assless chaps and a viking hat singing showtunes outdoors at seven in the morning won't be arrested. Because nobody cares. Lux 16:22, 9 October 2007 (CDT)
  • BEECHER IL. I have 10 acres here and we could rent out a tent and it can be on a friday from 2:00pm-????! --iamusingtheinternets

Pittsburgh

  • They had AnthroCon here. Set LulzCon 2008 to coincide with it (maybe even in the same hotel) and massive trolling can commence. Seiya 09:32, 9 October 2007 (CDT)
  • Second'd for three reasons: --Krazy 21:46, 25 December 2007 (CST)
  • Furfags collected all in one place for easy trolling/extermination
  • Cheaper than bigger cities like NY and Phillly, but still a big enough for good attendance
  • I'm a lazy son of a bitch that doesn't want to have to leave pittsburgh

Northern Virginia

  • Plenty of places to get lulz from.

XxXDAViSXxX 13:25, 7 October 2007 (CDT)

  • There is such an abundance of faggotry here that to not hold Lulzcon here would basically be allowing every sixteen year old girl, fag, emo, whore, and furry to do whatever they so desire without and consequence.

faggotry 16:44, 10 October 2007 (CDT)

    • Lololol don't act like those aren't abundant in SoCal or Seattle, which I say as those are the two places I've lived. SO I'll assume pretty much everywhere in America has spoiled fucks ruining the place. --SheneequaTalk 16:36, 9 October 2007 (CDT)
  • This should be consolidated with DC. --Philaster 19:27, 11 October 2007 (CDT)
  • DC is DC. It's not Maryland or Virginia. If we can get enough money together we could hold lulzcon at the Hilton in Springfield. XxXDAViSXxX 18:43, 16 October 2007 (CDT)
  • LuLzcon 08 would rape the good name of Virginia so everyone. would be forced to refer to it as Prostitutia faggotry 10:49, 8 December 2007 (CDT)

Dallas, Texas

  • We're very open about out lulz.
  • A-Kon
  • UNT is festering with /b/tards
  • CPL
  • QuakeCon
  • Milhouse-is-not-a-meme fucked you
  • do want, and there isnt a faggot smoking ban like in california v0dka 02:14, 17 October 2007 (CDT)

Atlanta, Georgia

  • BECAUSE I'M NOT DRIVING 700 MILES AGAIN. SHIT MY CAPS LOCK BUTTON IS STUCK GOD DAMN OH WELL — Preceding comment added by Spacemigrant (talkcontribs), who is too much of a fucking retard to sign their own posts. IT'S FOUR TILDES (~~~~), NOT ROCKET SCIENCE!
  • um...not me. Unless I blacked out or something --Philaster 00:30, 15 January 2008 (CST)
  • I reviewed the revision history and found it was Spacemigrant. fix'd. Jinglelulz 07:48, 15 January 2008 (CST)
  • If Lulzcon '08 is held in Atlanta, GA, Jacksonville, FL, Gainesville, FL, or Tallahassee, FL, then I will come if the entrance fee is reasonable. I will not help under any circumstances unless all of the following are true: 1) I'm single at the time. 2) I'm not getting any ass. 3) Someone seckses me up in exchange for my help. Furthermore, I have no reason to expect that I will be single, and my help is not worth having, because I am slow-witted, and fat. tl;dr: 1 point for Atlanta.Jinglelulz 23:28, 30 December 2007 (CST)

Somewhere in this region would be best:

 


Others

(These places only have one apparent vote so far)

Portland, OR

  • Pretty much halfway between Seattle and SF and cheaper than either. There's more than drugs and white power groups here! I just can't remember because I'm too fucked up right now! --§a¡n† S¡†hney 17:19, 7 October 2007 (CDT)
  • Oh yeah, strip clubs. That was the other thing. --§a¡n† S¡†hney

Seattle

  • Low costs for lodging, public transportation, conferencing, and entertainment means attendees can stay at either near the Seattle Center for around $100 per night, or in the University District or another neighboring hotspot for under $100.
  • Attendees will have access to: cocktail bars, clubbing, dive bars, cheap eats on Capitol Hill, internet cafes, GameWorks, Space Needle, and Experience Music Project/Skychurch/Scifi Museum.
  • I, argus_maghony would be be willing to put all my event planning skills to the lulzy cause. I know at least twenty people who would come. Either way, even if the main event doesn't happen here I would like to have a mini-lulzCon here.
  • FUCK YEAH SEATTLE Srsly I would stick my penis in Seattle if I could. Stick it right in its Puget Sound. But it's too late for 08, so fuck it and fuck you Plinko Commie 02:10, 28 July 2008 (CDT)

St. Petersburg/Tampa, FL--Home of Wikipedia, home of Terri Schiavo's grave, home of the Pirates porno, home of the Hogan family, home of Scientology, home of city manager Steve Stanton, was going to be the home of the '08 Republican National Convention, and hopefully home of Lulzcon '08. - Mark

Australian Lulzcon 2008

For all the Australian fags that feel left out, mattgrave is offering throw lulzcon in in Sydney. Obviously it would be smaller and populated by descendents of criminals, but if you think you would be interested in making it to Sydney for this con leave your name here. A date has yet to be decided (and won't be unless enough people seem interested).

 

Or you could all just come to ROFLCON. --Hoveround 08:56, 13 October 2007 (CDT)

  • what is the difference in timing? the two should must be made one if we expect attendance to either.--yirimyahæ 10:24, 16 October 2007 (CDT)

nahhhhhh. -Astrofiend 09:00, 13 October 2007 (CDT)

Perhaps. -SueDenim 09:07, 13 October 2007 (CDT) yeah w/e --yirimyahæ 10:24, 16 October 2007 (CDT)

YOU ARE ALL RETARDED FAGGOTS

Seems to me like we just had a lulzcon, and the amount of actual ed users that showed up was pathetic. Oh and the amount of ed users that promised to "help" and "take care of stuff" was higher, but most to all of them flaked out. It blows my mind that you think that you can maintain the momentum throughout the next year to get something like this together, let alone get all of the logistical issues ironed out. This whole lulzcon 2008 makes me want to fucking puke. I expect to see the lulzcon 2008 site notice removed by the end of the day. --Ajt 07:19, 10 October 2007 (CDT)

  • I love you ajt but the 'debacle' wasn't a one way street. I gave up offering my help in a bunch of areas (including team managers delegating help in various areas so GV and you wouldn't have to take it all on your shoulders) even tho I couldn't afford the trip. And I have three people very pissed at me for not getting back to them on Lulzcon related activities in Chicago (that had been discussed) and a T-shirt manufacturer in LA. Speaking as a former road manager, poor planning is as much to blame as poor attendance and communication sucks around here, cos many good ideas fell into a black hole never to pulled out. We may be the 'tools' in question but like the saying goes: a poor workman blames his tools. --   OldDirtyMudkips    15:35, 21 October 2007 (CDT)
    • What in the fuck are you talking about? I asked you for pricing on shirts twice. Who are these three people pissed at you regarding lulzcon activities? Ehat activities? The fact of the matter is everyone was like "oh yeah I am coming" and "oh don't sweat it I will help out" and I saw neither.
  • I kind of agree ajt, but Lulzcon.au/ROFLCON will be for people who just plain couldnt afford to go the states. Just so you know. --Hoveround 08:58, 13 October 2007 (CDT)

oh, this whole thing wasn't a joke to begin with?!?! TT_TT--G 16:32, 14 October 2007 (CDT)

  • Encyclopedia Dramatica could hold a panel at other conventions that are related to the lulz. It's cheaper and probably just as effective. There isn't as much drama, but we could have panels at multiple conventions which would mean more attendance across the map and moar press as well.  Ninja  21:06, 10 November 2007 (CST)
  • One day it would be nice to see such a thing in the UK , seriously some of us have humour
