This is me, on the right. I dressed up for Fanfest 2008, as I did for FF '07. Note the (hopefully) striking resemblance to the character portrait.
Fanfest is where Eve players have been convening, once per year, to talk about their favorite game.
So I can't quite understand why some of these players would tell me that they can't understand why I would want to dress up.
Some told me I was particularly geeky for doing so, going to the lengths that I did. Guilty as charged.
A few, however, suggested that Eve Fanfest is not a place to dress up, that I should instead change the makeup around a bit and go to a Tolkienesque MMOG con instead. *coffBlizzconcoff*
To whom I would say, you're in a role-playing game, not doing any actual role-playing, but instead focusing on maximum skill points to the exclusion of all else. And this makes you different from a Tolkienesque RPG addict with 27 maxlevel characters how?
Understand that I'm not bitter; there are many ways to play these games. Max SP characters are fine, nothing wrong with that. There are many play styles possible with the game. But I like to role-play, and I really enjoy dressing up for Fanfest. I like to think I resemble my character, after putting time and money into my dress.
So, if you don't dress up or RP, don't trash the ones who do. And all you non-RP'ers can bite my brilliant white Matari tattooed ass if you still don't like it.

I think dressing up for that should be mandatory, of course you could come as anything, some duct taped grillbars and you're a Tempest, all black sucking down every beer that gets within reach and you're a black hole but by all means let the freakshow be about the freaks.
At least you got some nicelooking female going along with your scheme, can't be all bad.

SPeaking of which, they better allow a wide variety of body types. I am tired of the skinniest character you can make in any game being an average looking guy and the fattest character looking like the average guy with a very slight beer gut.
If I want to be a morbidly obese behemoth sleezeball marketing guy or a sickly annorexic freak scientist - that should be my choice.

Chicks dressing up is ok, when guys do it.. well, guys don't dress/make up, gays might. I have nothing against either but that's just the way majority of guys feel. :(

Men in suits isn't dressed up? Don't come and tell me the suit is comfortable and something you'd rather wear than anything else.

"... well, guys don't dress/make up, gays might." "I have nothing against either"
You obviously have one big disgusting chunk of prejudice against gays, which you'll have to work with.
What has sexuality to do with dressing up for a fanfest? Gawd, people use the word gay for everything these days...
*Takes a nerve stick*

You need a slap in the face. I dare you to go up town and say that, bet you will get jumped and your head kicked in within 30 seconds.

Google Cosplay, note the equal mix of male and female enthuesists.
Its not very popular in western culture, but im sure when CCP finally release their whitewolf mmorpg youll see alot more players arriving at fanfests representing their favorite charatcers.
To the OP: keep up the good work, I hope to see your costume further improve.... meanwhile im building a wearable cardboard Buzzard, woot!

Except for almost nearly any video game conference.
And any MMO event.
And anime conventions.
And comic book conventions.
And E3.
And Star Trek or Star Wars conventions.
And movie premier nights.
And Penny Arcade Expos.
And almost any goth night club.
And ComiCon.
And GenCon.
And DragonCon.
And Halloween.

But did you remind them they too had just flown to another country to drink beer with other people who play the same internet spaceship game as them?

I don't like and have never understood RP or cosplay; I think it's weird.
However, there's no such thing as a boring costume party. Dressing up is great fun for a night out. But everyone has to do it.
I would wholeheartedly endorse mandatory costumes for fanfest.
And to mister 'gays might' above, you are a tool. Might want to leave Mom's basement from time to time and see what the adults are doing.
To the OP: for god's sake you could at least have shaved. You don't look *anything* like your avatar with that fungus on your chin.

Keep in mind that most cosplayers are nutjobs, even by the standards of the most obsessed non-cosplayers in their chosen area. This bad reputation will always be prejudicially applied, and some people will prefer you to be somewhere else, even if you are relatively sane. -
