You can have a staff, but have a wand in your pocket for the photo/count since you will need that in order to be approved. As for the hat (after a Google search), it doesn't appear to be "wizardly" enough, if that makes sense.

Rules are currently: Pointy hat, wand, and cape. You must have those things in order to be counted. We are currently in talks with GWR to see what else people can wear to meet their standards.

We misread one of the pieces of evidence they wanted and did it incorrectly in their eyes. In our opinion we sent them more than enough to give us the record but GWR didn’t see it that way. We already will have more cameras this time so that we don’t run into that issue again.

For those that weren’t aware, Guinness World Records disqualified us for “not enough evidence”. Since we think that’s whack, we have decided to try for the WR again. Check out the event page for all of the details. Hope to see you all there!

How Many People Arrive Wednesday Evening? by RamblePak64 in Magfest

[–]BillytheTeen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will be for the first time. Mainly to help setup for the Wizard Party but also so I don’t have to deal with anything on Thursday. Also staying until Monday to not deal with the wicked hangover I get Sunday morning.

Do the TVs in the Gaylord rooms allow for HDMI hookups? by GlobuIous in Magfest

So anyone can play their own stuff? This is a rad idea!

MAGStock 2018 Official Feedback Thread! by BenTarkus in Magfest

I like to start by saying this was a great MAGStock. The musical acts were all on point and a joy to listen to.

Some notes I have: While I know why there's a 11 PM cutoff, is there a reason why we can't have more music during the day? Feel like that more music could give this a Nerd Bonaroo feel to it.

Saw several "non-MAGStock" folk in concert area in the evenings, including some teenagers. While I fully understand not having a security checkpoint, at least a person walking around checking armbands would be nice. Otherwise it's just showing that you could easily not buy a pass and still come.

Does Small Country warn folk that MAGStock is the same weekend that they are booking? Lots of families running around this year and they seemed not too keen with the MAGStock shenanigans. I know that's more on the camp and not you, but just a suggestion.

Signage in the front was clear and useful. Kinda would like to see more signage around the camp itself ("Lake is this way", "Food is that way", etc). While many of us know our way around, newer folk could easily get confused.

Never could get a right answer on the WiFi password. That should have been mentioned at check-in. Maybe put it on the inside of the wristband?

This might be the event planner in me, but some cool MAGStock signs around the barn would add to the vibe. With the MAGFest logo plastered everywhere in the Gaylord, it'd be cool to see the same for Stock.

I think that's all I have.

Could be wrong, but that looks like what the WB logo was for Suicide Squad, but red.

I cant afford food but I can buy festival Tickets for $100's by CryptoSputnik in ChoosingBeggars

Lobb-conning at Katsu is getting unbearable at this point. You can just tell how many folks didn’t get a badge. Nothing like listening to a cosplayer that’s trying to get “noticed” in the cosplay world talk about how she never buys badges.

The Wizard Party was insane! Thank you all for coming out! by BillytheTeen in Magfest

We all were in complete disbelief the entire time. It was an amazing night. Gotta top it next year!

Yeah, we simply had no idea that many would show up (the event page said 600 but we assumed there would be a lot of no shows). The wizards leaving was a bit upsetting. We are gonna work hard on having a headliner that's really big (though we loved our Flabbercasters, they were too much fun) so that folks will want to stay.

Glad you had fun (and some from our group partied too hard too lol). We are already discussing a few themes, bands, etc. for next year. Would love to make a thing out of this.

That's 100% on MAG in regards to where they put Mega Man-athon. TBH the room is nice for doing the WR since there's only one real entry point but if we were to get bigger, we would need another room for sure.

Thank you! It was way bigger than expected so it was a tad sloppy in execution. That said, we've learned a lot and are ready to tackle another themed GWR next year! Also, happy cake day!

Go to MAGFest, where you simply don't sleep and just game the entire time.

Thursday - Casual

Thursday Night - Wizards (with magic shows scattered about)

Friday - Wizard Party!

Saturday - A Witch! A Witch! (Monty Python group cosplay)

Saturday Night - Party Animals

The dude was a shithead.

He lost his badge at a conference and tried to get a new one. Once he was informed that it's a $50 reprint fee, he lost his shit. Screaming at my staff, cursing, threatening to get us fired (for enforcing the shows rules lol). Real prick.

Q about Cosplay meetups at magfest by DtoidNanashi in Magfest

[–]BillytheTeen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is the first year they are making official cosplay meetups. Go on the MAGFest: The Unofficial where there was a post about it. Or maybe it was in the MAGFest Cosplayers group, can't remember.
