UPDATE!!!

Ok folks, the super-giant game of ninja is STILL ON!
Please read this post for details about when/where/etc. SEE YOU THERE!!! 0w0
So, here's the deal: I somehow didnt submit this as a panel. I dont know how, but it slipped my mind. therefore, it wont be on the schedule.
So, Im going to post it here and make sure to tell everyone at the con:

WE WILL BE MEETING AT THE POINTE, RIGHT ACCROSS THE STREET FROM THE HOTEL.
WE WILL BE PLAYING BOTH FRIDAY AND SATURDAY STARTING AT 11:00 AM.

If the weather is bad, is there is an insanely low turnout, we will reschedule.
Since I didnt get it submitted as a panel, it wont be on the schedule, and it wont be *in* tekko. It will be happening entirely at the point. Also, it is not run by or affiliated with the con.
What WILL be happening is this:

• I will have little notecards with the information about when/where for anyone interested. You will have to ask me for one, becuase otherwise it counts as solicitation if I just walk up and give you one.
  
• We will meet over in the huge grassy area at the Pointe, right across the street from the hotel's front entrance.
  
• there will be a brief rules presentation and demonstration
  
• everyone will be given a number to wear, to help stay organized and keep count
  
• we will break up into groups of 5 to 10 or so, and each group will play until they have a winner
  
• after all groups are done, the winner from each group will form a new group(s), and they will play till they have winner
  
• repeat until we have a grand champion!!!
  
• I will be filming the whole thing, and keeping count to see if we break the record.
  
• The event is not sponsored by, run by, or affiliated with tekko.
  
• There will not be a panel, workshop, or anything like that IN tekko for this
  
• please tell all your friends, and help spread the word as much as possible.

(End update)

So! We all know and love the game of Ninja!
(For those who DONT know it, take a look: )
Just FYI, that video has an intro with some strong language. However, its the best video I could find that explains the game.

So, as far as I can find, the current record for largest game of ninja, is 112 people.

WHO THINKS WE CAN BEAT THAT?!
I say we can. I KNOW we can. >


So, I propose that we organize the world's largest game of ninja this year at tekko. I volunteer to do the organizing and such of course, but I think it would be great if this was like an official tekko event.

Who's interested?

[OmegaGamer89]

lol oh wow, didnt know the new forum let you embed youtube videos right in the post! Neato. :3

[MissLexxi]

ahhhh!! I'm in this like a billion times over!!! Lets like, idk do a panel on it??
And if you need/want help setting it up I'll gladly do what ever!

[darkwhitewolf]

Oh, yes. 100% yes. I am so down for this. Let's go.

[OmegaGamer89]

Excellent! Yeah, I think the best way to do it would be a panel about the game of ninja, (how to play, rules, tips and tricks, alternate and optional rules, etc) then a few demonstrations, and then everyone over to the point (or wherever) for a GINORMOUS MATCH OF NINJAAAAAAA!

[darkwhitewolf]

This will need to be documented. With a video camera. And a video. That is subsequently posted to the internets. To show off how awesome Tekko is.

[OmegaGamer89]

Wrong, my good sir.
It will need to be documented withe SEVERAL video cameras and MANY videos. Which will then be posted to ALL the internets to show off how Tekko is the over 9000 times better than any other con.
Because Ninjas.

Well played, sir. Well played. I'll see if I can bring one, and everyone should follow suit!

If your intent is to break a record, you need sufficient space to have all those people.
Otherwise, if it happens, I'm in.

This seems like the kind of thing you would have to do across the street in the park.  Otherwise you'd need to commandeer main events and that's only a good idea if you can guarantee that you'll fill the space.

[darkwhitewolf]

Yeah, you couldn't fit a quarter of the people we want in any one room in the Wyndham Grand other than main events, so outside is probably best.

[MissLexxi]

Yea!! Outside!!! : D
and if its outside/in a very open viable area more people might just randomly jump in!

[darkwhitewolf]

THAT WOULD BE GREAT. Can we get some old people? Old people playing ninja would be the best.

I know, I was already planning on using the Pointe. lthough we're gonna have to come up with a backup location if its raining or something.

I wonder if we could set up a kind of sign-up form? Then we would know who would be interested in playing, and therefore have a better chance of getting the main events room. Not only that, but having it IN main events would make MORE people more likely to play!

Im just concerned about weather interfering. This IS Pittsburgh we're dealing with.

Actually, we wouldnt be able to allow random people to join in once we start. If we did, we couldnt keep an accurate count of how many people played.

Yes. Everyone, you are required to bring 1(one) senior citizen, old timer, geezer, or old man or woman of the crotchety, grumpy, or stingy variety!

I didn't mean in the middle of the game, I meant as we were getting started, what you said makes sense.

AWWW YEAAAHHH!
I'm bringing my dad.
Get ready.

[OmegaGamer89]

Is your dad balding and/or reliant on a cane? you get bonus points for that. XD

[darkwhitewolf]

He's totally balding! And he wears round glasses!

[Duplica]

Im in! For real, me and my sister are pretty excited, *warning, our clutziness may or may not kill someone* jk, . Idk why this turned into an old person conversation, hhmmm, does a 28 year old count?

[Cruorproditor]

I have never played, but I'm willing to make a fool out of myself for the cause. Sign me up.
