This is the conbadge I lost, not sure if it's covered by what's on that list, let me know if you have it:

I think I lost it when fursuiting on the grassy area next to the lake outside the NEC, but I'm not sure. If I did, it's probably gone for good, but I want to be sure.

I only have one complaint about Confuzzled. The waiting for it to start has been unbearable! Why can't the 27th come around sooner?

And now I'm going to complain voiceforously that it was over too quickly!

Discussion / Fursuiting around Resorts World
« on: October 25, 2015, 00:25:06 »
With the new Resorts World place opposite the hotel opening this week, I'm wondering whether the con staff are going to see if we'll be allowed to fursuit around there or not at next year's con.

James the dog: the dance one is blocked for me :(

Yeah according to YouTube it's because of Uptown Funk, seems it's blocked in most countries- apart from the UK and Ireland it seems.

Discussion / Re: Smoking outside the entrance
« on: May 28, 2015, 21:25:43 »
Besides it wasn't the "one place". As they said they asked people to smoke using the shelter outside the healthclub entrance, and the bit outside the NEC entrance, both of which were undercover, and both out of the way enough to not bother people (the problem with people smoking where they were is it floated into and filled up the lobby- which wouldn't have happened in either of the other places). Surely it's not unreasaonable, or any effort, for people to go and stand there?

Maybe people like me should be more tolerant towards smokers, but then smokers also need to be more understanding of exactly how unpleasant their habit is to people who don't partake in it.

And one of the reasons the issue affects me so badly at Confuzzled is because while I was at Confuzzled 2012 my aunt, a heavy smoker, was taken into hospital and never came out. I had to drive straight from the con to the hospital to see her dying with all sort of tubes sticking out of her struggling to breathe. So it's something ALWAYS on my mind when I'm at CF, and as a result it's an issue I'm always more sensitive about than usual.

P.P.S Yes, Elevators are a total bitch. There's a good reason why Anthrocon, in America, is nicknamed "Staircon". Be thankful there was only 5 floors at the Hilton.

This years FWA was even worse. Waiting ages for a lift (sometimes around 10 minutes!) and half the time it came it was full and you had to wait again! Would have been bad enough normally, but the amount of people "going up to go down" even though they told us not to slowed things down even more. Compounded by the fact that there were also lifts out of action throughout that con too. And the fact my room was on the 29th floor meant the stairs weren't really an option either.

Make sure you watch the videos in 720p or 1080p to take advantage of the fact YouTube now allow 50fps playback- I went to the effort of encoding the videos that way! :-D

Discussion / Smoking outside the entrance
« on: May 25, 2015, 03:07:47 »
I know I'm still at the con but I feel like I have to comment on this now because the situation tonight realy was bad. Large crowds of people smoking outside the entrance, the revolving doors wide open, the lobby really did fill with the smell of smoke and it wasn't pleasant. I was fursiting in the lobby and the smoke got right inside my suit head as soon as I walked in and it wasn't pleasant, and even sitting in the bar out of suit I could smell it in the air.

As it had already been tweeted this morning asking people not to smoke there (as well as one about not using e-cigs inside which seems to have been similarly ignored), but to use the areas outside the NEC & Health Club entrances, it made me feel even more annoyed that it's being ignored. Surely it's not unreasonable to ask people to smoke there, and not too hard for the smokers to oblige? It's not as if they'e being told not to smoke, just to do it where it's not going to affect people.

There are the things for stubbing out cigarettes at the far edges outside the entrance, and I imagine under normal circumstances at the hotel there's only a couple of people smoking there and it's not really an issue, but during this con there's been large crowds of people there, and big clouds of smoke hanging over hat you've had to walk through and has been getting sucked into the lobby when the door's open. Maybe removing the ashrays there during the con would help discourage people smoking there. But then people have been smoking in front of the "don't smoke in front of the entrance" sign anyway regardless.

Sorry that I'm posting this, and I have already tweeted about it to the CF twitter accounts, it's just that I'm really sensitive to smoke, people have been asked not to smoke there, it was particularly bad tonight and it really made my fursuiting unpleasant due to the smoke gathering in my head. I just need to get it off my chest... and hope that it won't be like it tomorrow night.

Discussion / Re: Is vaping allowed in the hotel rooms?
« on: May 24, 2015, 00:35:50 »
If vaping's not allowed, I've still seen lots of people doing it in the lounge, so it's obviously not being well communicated, or people are just ignoring it.
