I have been speaking to a few people who attended fanfest last few times, and their words were "...the stench of BO is so unbearable especially when its such a small hall, if you are planning on going either take a hot girl with you to scare away the nerds or wear a gas mask, its that bad when everyone begins to party..."

Now I work out and know sometimes things can smell bad, but im not stuck to them and the fanfest videos show very little space to breathe (or move).

What measures will CCP be taking to prevent this health hazard?

CCP please include a neckbeard trimming kit in the welcome pack.

One of two things is going to happen as a result of this thread:

Scenario 1:
There are girls in Eve.

Scenario 2:
They are gone now.

I think we all know the answer.

Geological cycle? No, the hot water smelling of sulphur is a year-round thing. If you're lucky, the hotel heats its own water, eliminating the smell. But in most cases, the hot water will smell like sulphur.

After a few days here you don't notice anymore though.

The problem is that it's IcelandGǪ if you're unlucky, it's just that time of the geological cycle and all the water smells of sulphur anyway, so showering almost makes it worse.

....when baths took a break from european (and i stress european because everyone else was still bathing lol) societies.

It rubs the lotion on its skin or else it gets the hose again.

take a hot girl with you to scare away the nerds or wear a gas mask,

Funny this topic shows up right after I took the first shower in a week thanks to a disease that would murder me if I tried to shower.

But they all have great personalities right? Right??

My God, what did we do 100 years ago?

Shall I say it? HTFU.

I think 200million people died from the Plague because of poor hygiene. Luckily not everybody has your mindset these days

The best strategy is to smell worse than they do.

Folk died form plague because they were in close proximity to rats, more specifically, rat fleas which carried the bacteria, Yersinia Pestis, which could and did jump onto humans once the host rat population was insufficient to provide enough host bodies for the flea population.

Personal hygiene had very little to do with it.

tsk, tsk, tsk... Folks need to learn how to plan more diplomatic style solutions to the problems.

Example:

- Hold the conference at Icelandair Hotel Reykjavik Natura - they have a swimming pool and set up around that.
- have the hotel over chlorinate the water a bit and step up the filter pumps a touch.
- Get 'bouncers' who's job it is to 'bounce' folks into the pool who are offensive in that way, then fish them out.

A brief PC apology for the accidental bump into the pool but they do come out a tad fresher than they went in. If a bit more is needed, a couple more "oops" are applied... problem solved!

Just one solution. :-p

Taking bathes is a disgusting habit where you stew in your own swill. Shower, people, SHOWER! Unless you enjoy the smell of your own stink and poop and whatever else clings to your body, permeating your pores, and truly becoming at one with yourself.


Edit: Poop is not censored, fe-ces, the actual proper word for it, IS.... Wtf CCP?
