Did every weekend pass get Marianna Hill as the free auto? My tickets are over 400 numbers apart and still got the same one.

Will Ron Moore be doing a photo shoot? Couldn't see them in the online shop so wanted to ask to make sure.

Just because I work for Sean does not mean I'm not a fan. The entire reason I go to conventions by any organiser, I don't just go to Sean's, is because I am a fan and I want to meet guests. Again just because I work for Sean doesn't stop me wanting to pay money to meet people from shows I like. I was just voicing my opinion on something I was planning on paying for, getting to know what I will be paying for before I hand over the money. What events I help out at has no bearing on my attendance at other events. I am a fan, but because I work for Sean that means I'm not worth your time? If that's how you want to treat people then that's your choice. I wasn't trying to damage you, and I have never had an issue with you. You are reading that into what I have put, I was simply trying to understand what I was planning on paying for when I turned up tomorrow evening, but as you don't want me there then I won't go.

I was going to go with 2 friends actually and get a ticket on the door, silver if they were still left, even had borrowed money off my brother for ticket and train from his place in Dewsbury. I even cancelled going somewhere (I'm sure you can work out where) next weekend so I could afford it. Just because I work at another event doesn't mean I can't plan to be a customer with you and voice my opinion. But now you seem to want to seek me out and have a go at me I don't feel comfortable going at all now. I'd much rather spend time with my brother and my 9 week old nephew than have to explain myself to you.

It's not unreasonable if it has been proven to be possible, which it has multiple times.

I'm sure it will spoil the event for some people who want an individual photo with all the guests and get told they can't have that when turning up at the weekend. It certainly isn't an unreasonable assumption for them to think all guests would be doing one, so it will indeed spoil that part of the convention for them. Silver tickets believe they have been promised a photo with all the guests who are taking part in a photo session. Obviously you meant to word it differently and meant all guests taking part in individual shoots, but you didn't and hence they quite rightly expected that all guests would be in shoots and they would get a photo with all the guests. Yeah the schedule you have may start to fall apart with more photo shoots, but why have a schedule like that if you can't provide all that is reasonably expected. You have therefore changed the general format of a convention to the detriment of the attendee because you can't provide all that was reasonably expected. And that's what puzzles me greatly. Why haven't you come up with a schedule that provides everything and gets you more money? The schedule could work perfectly and to the second, but that will be because you cut out stuff. I'm pretty sure that most attendees don't mind schedules being a little late just so long as they get everything they expected for the ticket they paid for. Finishing on time and denying them something they wanted is not acceptable to some people. I do see where you are coming from, and I understand why you have done it. I just think you are wrong and not fulfilling all that was reasonably expected of you to provide.

You are right he has answered the question, unfortunately it appears to be in contradiction of the terms of the silver ticket. Bad wording, but that's not the ticket holders fault and they shouldn't be feeling they aren't getting what they thought they were paying for.

Why aren't all the guests taking part in individual photo sessions? It is possible to do with that number of guests, the schedule just has to take it into account. I can imagine that some standard as well as silver ticket holders will want a photo with a someone who you currently don't have an individual session for. I hope that it gets worked out peacefully before the weekend or it may prove to be a problem and spoil the convention for some people.

Sometimes when people ask a question they back it up with information to further clarify what answer they would like. Like if I asked my dad what's for tea and I add that I fancy chips. I've asked a valid question but gave him information so he can answer the question more specifically. So I think you may have jumped onto that post a little more harshly than if you didn't know who posted it and saw more of an attack in it than was intended.

Weird, weren't you just complaining about the quality of the photos yet you actually want to use screen grabs?

The Master Replica ones have a weak point where the tube is attached to the hilt, and the LEDs in the tube can get damaged and it can get small dark spots. So even when being careful they can definitely be broken and or damaged. Some of my friends started holding the tube at the weak point when play duelling and full breakages were reduced but heavy contact still results in the dark spots. Mine was never used in full fights just the odd tapping and even it has one or two spots. There are sites that make re-enforced ones though, stronger than MR but still destructible if you're not careful. But they're a lot more expensive so if it did break, which is still likely, its a harder wallet hit. Best I can figure some of the fight videos have been heavily choreographed so contact is only slight but to the eye it looks impressive.

The master replicas that you can get for £50 are very breakable indeed

I understand I have been trying to make it to another one of your events since GMEX, my dog's vet seems quite intent on financially preventing me for the moment though lol

Sorry Jason I guess its just my internet boredom showing through, I never know when to shut up. I'll try to just keep coming back to check on the guest announcements from now on.

Were Michael Shanks or Chris Judge talking a little bit about working with Claudia? Why? Would that make you wish you went now?
