Yeah. I remember being some talk about a furry con a while back, I think that any expansion to vancouver cons should be appended to that... why work with something new when there's something that already exists.

a con that a few furs tried to setup basically flopped due to many factors. Vancouver can't handle a furry con at this time and we do have howloween to build. Why start something new when somethings already inplace.

To clarify, it was I whom had originally suggested to get another Vancouver fur convention underway; but there were quite a number of problems in getting it started, some of them being the fact that no one wants to neither staff, nor volunteer for such, and I'm well aware that both me and Rino are quite well-hated by most folks of the group. So, because of the lack of interest and the fact we're hated by most of the folks throughout the Lower Mainland, the plans had quite well fallen into a very open abyss, never to be seen, nor heard from, again.

Plus, I lack the experience in organising something as big as that; I need to get some experience in smaller venues first, and see if I can try my hand at volunteering at a convention or two.
I understand that scissors can beat paper, and I get how rock can beat scissors, but there's no way paper can beat rock. Paper is supposed to magically wrap around rock, leaving it immobile? Why can't paper do this to scissors? Screw scissors, why can't paper do this to people? Why aren't sheets of college ruled notebook paper constantly suffocating students as they attempt to take notes in class? I'll tell you why, because paper can't beat anybody; a rock would tear it up in two seconds. When I play Rock-Paper-Scissors, I always choose rock. Then, when somebody claims to have beaten me with their paper, I can punch them in the face with my already clenched fist, and say, "Oh sorry, I thought paper would protect you."

"that" in the context of my last post was meant to refer to Howloween. I don't think there's any reason to start trying to make another Vancouver convention, for the time being... maybe just make Howloween larger.

agree and one way is to offer to help out or supply materials.

I think it's quite certain that this is what Aphinity wants to avoid doing...

I don't think hate is the right word here.  I think the right word would be: Untrusted.

Hate is a strong word that is very commonly misused, or mistaken for dislike.  Rino and I are still friends, but I do not trust him in a position of power for the very same reasons why he was banned from this forum.

Mikau, I do not know you, so I have no basis to judge you.

I kinda get this feeling, that our monthly furmeets have come to an end, it's it's place seems to be a bunch of smaller friends only parties, and games and D&D nights.
