Super MAGFest 2022 - No Jab, No Games

[Anonymous No.10667467]

Because MAGFest's data security is still a joke, and they rely on Google docs for just about everything, here's the result of the COVID-19 survey they had earlier in the year. "No Jab, No games for you" - https://docs.google.com/document/d/164VgU0P8yrwLn_go0Y1s9u_7FLfOSgxdeHIIa8UAmTw/edit# - Screenshots below for when they figure out their screw-up.

Expect staffers constantly screaming at you to put your mask back on despite already having the vaccine.

PAX West required vaccine or testing (testing is basically impossible though because they said you have to do it 6 hours before going).
PAX was fucking DEAD. Almost nobody showed up, you wouldn't even know it was there unless you already knew. I saw like 6 people hanging out outside. The videos from inside are so sad. Basically no major booths and halls were barren of people.
Yet they still sold for full price (they only sold out of Saturday tickets).

They complained about gatekeeping, and keeping out those who wanted to change everything back in 2014. We now see the result. "Friends of MAGFest" last year was a flat-out power grab play, lead by Debra, the one office staffer who was fired for insubordination. Who previously was working with/fucking Nick, the ousted director, to set office staff up to fail, to give them a reason to fire/eliminate people who didn't agree. Paul Birtel, the replacement for Nick, started cleaning house and firing dead weight. And then the calls of bigotry, racism, and gatekeeping began again...

I would guess 70% said masks were ok
maybe 15% or less said they needed vaccines
They probably are thinking "we need more people to take the vaccine!" so they think this will "help" people somehow.
Also, we need to stop calling it vaccine when it clearly isnt. Its ruining the reputation of real vaccines. How many shots do you need to keep taking? 5? 9? And it doesnt even stop you from getting it or spreading it. Its all bullshit.

Almost all anime/fan conventions are going to be like this until they snap out of it (which they cant because they're addicted to virtue signaling) or go out of business.

They rather go out of business than return to normal with basic common sense policies (if you feel sick, just stay home and mask optional policies) and blame coronachan and consumers.

There's no real signs of hype, no real signs of a party going on. Just... signs of virtue signaling everywhere.

Thank god I just mentioned the announcement and screencapped it. If I did QRT it, I would have blocked them. Sutorippu's law easily observeable in this case and you can easily tell which people are rampant virtue signalers that will immediatly persue anyone that dissents.

So many cosplayers have a mask and jab fetish over the past 18 months by the fear propaganda.

Funny enough, I have a dude in one of my fediverse circles who used to staff went on about MAGFEST’ staff being pozz’d so that lines up. It being replaced with office workers is kind of hilarious to me though. That tells me that MAGFEST got big enough to become a “corporation” if it was able to replace con volunteers with actual pr drones.

I'm super free shrugs on masks restrictions, outside of the con and "public spaces" nobody actually gives a shit. 99% of people will just take off their masks and chill/drink/party.

Dragoncon had a vax/neg test requirement and it cut the crowds in half making the con manageable and more enjoyable without being packed like sardines. I hope less people show up to Katsu and MAG so I don't have to deal with the hot scramble of trying find a hotel in the harbor. MAG was getting overcrowded to the point that people were camping in cars, vans and RVs. Prior to the WuFlu there were plenty of complaints about cons all across the country being overcrowded. WuFlu and the vax requirements solved the con overcrowding problem.

The reason why MAGFESTe complaining about staff bandwidth is the fact that staff members are quitting over the vaccine mandate. So it's a virtue signal. They know it sucks but they do not give a shit. Virtue signaling and coronawokeness is all that matters instead of returning to normal.

The whole concept suite thing is now pure nepotism amongst MAG staff, only doling out concept suite reservations to whales/friends of staff. Honestly should have called the hotel and told them immediately, instead of mag staff.

Good riddance to this rapey ass con and their molester nerd bands. Hopefully they never come back after this year.

[Anonymous No.10674608]

>>10674480
You aren't kidding about the nepotism part. The same year I was having a good time in the red suite, I went to check out the green/yellow.

Was just bullshitting with the owners of the room asking details about the room and got the "If you have to ask, you'll never find out." response.

Cunt, I have a suite also. But I realized that some of the suite owners were just given it as a weird fucking "gift" for being a loyalist to the new staff and knew I couldn't even get the satisfaction of snitching on their room to anyone due to their most likely protected nature.

If I knew I was going to get charged with the bed, I would've been hellbent on ruining that rooms rep. But hindsight is 20/20.

If I got to MAGFest now I book across the way outside the gaylord and pretty much keep to the older circles that still go, which is essentially dying/dead. Luckily the discord has a bunch of the old heads in it, but as was previously said they don't really listen to any complaints or take it as "being negative to someone" and instead ban the use of reaction emotes.

I could go on for hours about the behind the scenes stuff, but I pretty much lost interest and access a while ago so all my shit talking is old news for most.

I've gone to two big cons this year so far

Dragoncon and AWA. I barely wore a mask for either of them. Most of the staff are too cowardly to do anything beyond meekly ask you to put one on, the cops walking the venue don't even have them on for the most part so who's gonna kick you out?

I only wore a mask when walking in between checkpoints and panels just to avoid any needless confrontation. My friend didn't give a fuck and just muttered 'uh-huh' and motioned his hand covering his face.

With the small crews cons are running this year I can't imagine mask enforcement is even feasible unless you do it in the most retarded way. Also carry a drink around (I always did regardless), that probably helped me a bit too.

I used to be concerned out about mask enforcement at cons, but after these last two experiences I don't worry about it.

>ONLY a vaccine card or a STATE-PROVIDED QR CODE verification are acceptable
This is going to cause so many problems at badge pickup. Very few states actually have a QR code verification (apparently Maryland stopped doing theirs for some reason lmao). This means that physical cards are the only option, and people are going to lose or forget them before the event. They might even reasonably assume that pictures of the card would be acceptable since, you know, most other cons have done it that way, and they'll be fucked. "They should have read our email/website!" may be true, but it's still going to cause issues at registration because there's just going to be a certain percentage of people that missed it and are now stuck with no options. I feel bad for the volunteers doing reg, as they're going to have to deal with a lot of pissed off people because of this stupid policy.
At the very least they should allow QR codes from large chains like Rite Aid are doing that for the vaccine. Requiring them to be *state-issued* just reflects leadership that is out of touch, IMO.

Will it also be bad that I lowkey want to makeout with as many men as I can approach and visit the party rooms or party areas and kiss people in the hopes I get them sick too? The idea gets me off and I lowkey want to do it because it makes me feel better about my life. But I will be vague about it and not approach or seem desperate so when the chance arises and I feel its time I will kiss em all.

After the con is over I want to lurk social medias and see the potential chaos ensue and what will happen afterwards. I am also attractive enough to get away with this. No one will avoid me if they get a chance to makeout with me and I already have a bit of exposure as a cosplayer and well known east coast con goer. Bonus points if I get any of the incels too.

Looking back on it, Colossalcon was probably the "least risky" convention to attend in 2021 regards to covid, since there were only like 15,000 cases per day at the time it was held.
Kinda funny how some of the people that condemned anyone attending that con are going to Magfest, which will be held at a time when there's over HALF A FUCKING MILLION cases per day.
"I would back out but I already have my room reserved" is the most common excuse I'm seeing from those empty virtue signaling SJW pricks.

[Anonymous No.10714745]

>>10714672
As far as attendance goes, I feel like Magfest will be closer to their normal attendance than Dragon or Colossal.
Dragoncon was around half of their normal attendance, and Colossalcon was only about a third. I'm gonna guess Magfest will be closer to 2/3rds or 3/4ths of its usual attendance, but I could be wrong.
At this point, most of the virtue signaling crowd have gotten bored with themselves, and are ready to start going back to cons, if they haven't already. AnimeNYC's record attendance was one of the first signs of this.
I'm seeing a lot of the SJW crowd making posts on social media along the lines of "how is everyone feeling about MAG/Katsu", which are generally being made by people that have already decided to go, and are just looking for people to validate their decision, so they don't feel as hypocritical as they are.

They planned to have a tournament but the person organizing it tested positive a few days prior, and they were unable to find anyone else to host it on such short notice.

I could imagine the restrictions are part of the reason why the turnout was not as great this year along with those who are still genuinely concerned. To each their own I guess, but the thought of paying $1500+ only to be harassed (I saw a few streams and the staff was being very aggressive with mask enforcement) doesn't seem like the best way to spend my money/time.

I care alot about wearing a mask.
I would've probably care less if they weren't so ridiculous with it.
Like why should I have been target locked by some danger-hair staff member when I didn't put my mask on at least 0.38 seconds after taking a sip of long island tea at the lobby bar at an empty table?

[Anonymous No.10716836]

>>10716816
i see people say this but i was walking around with a beer in hand all day all night taking sips in the hallways and lobby area, nobody said anything to me. especially at the lobby bar nobody was wearing a mask if there wear near the couch areas and not the lobby tables. i wasnt there very much tho because im not gonna spend a bunch of money there, i have plenty liquor of my own.
the only time i saw any staff give any enforcement was when my friend was just walking around with only one ear loop on near the soapbox.

That's exactly it, I don't want to feel like I'm in a concentration camp. I am there to unwind and escape from all the bullshit going on in the world. No doubt that aside from people congregating in certain areas where enforcement was a bit more lax, the same people hanging out in the convention centre halls were also hanging out in eachother's rooms, grabbing food together, etc. This is the definition of medical theatre. Having fun in the eyes of the organizers was contingent on perpetuating this hysteria and I disagreed with that on a fundamental level. I'm not going to be a Karen and harass the staff who is just doing what they are told, but I'm not going to spend my $ and take time off work to go there either. Therefore I just didn't go and won't go to any conventions who enforce such nonsense.

That is the main reason why I didn't come to otakon 2021, why I didn't come to magfest and why im not bothing to come to katsucon either. Why pay 110 dollars to wear a mask 14 hours a day and be subjected to lockdown/mask culture BS. Whole anime cons have become lockdown culture gatherings, almost everyone one of them. So bad that I'm considering retiring from the scene until they snap out of it. But with cons doubling down over and over, it will never happen. Theyll just go out of business.

And if the whole swath of cons die out, there wont be any replacement for years to come because the culture itself has chanhed since march 2020.

The silver lining is that the opportunity to meet other like minded individuals who are fed up with these radicals ruining everything under the guise of "tolerance and acceptance" is more prominent than ever. Before getting into this scene I was under the impression that everyone else ascribed to that whacko ideology. The pot has been boiling slowly for the past 5 or 6 years and the backlash against these vaccine/mask mandates proves that isn't the case at all and we aren't alone.

Those people are hard to find in the anime convention scene. Much harder primarily because people who actually cared about the scene dipped out of social media because if they spoke up they will be dogpiled immediately.

[Anonymous No.10716886]

Also not to mention that they're several times louder with nearly every panelist thanking everyone for wearing masks, social distancing (No one was doing that), and all other sorts of flagrant bullshit.

For those that went, how was the arcade? I heard one of the bigger suppliers dipped but I didn't hear any complaints

[Anonymous No.10716904]

Rhythm games did not suffer and the lower turnout made them playable. Candy cabs were there with a pretty alright selection as well.

[Anonymous No.10716905]

>>10716898
I was worried when I hear about one of the suppliers backing out last minute, but I didn't notice a big difference between this year and the last event, and it was nice to be able to actually play things due to the smaller attendance. They did close from 4am-8am to sanitize everything though which was a pain

For once I actually got to use the Initial D cabinet without waiting forever in line for it. That's the one good thing about the reduced crowds is that you could move around a lot more easily.

[Anonymous No.10717054]

>>10715366
I pulled up at like 8pm on thurs for pre-reg and it wasn't nearly this bad.

this was my first mag so here are my thoughts:
pros:
arcade is sick as fuck, good selection of games + practically no lines
the 2 panels I ended up going to (pinball tips, advanced propmaking) were really good
gaylord itself is very pretty inside
staff was above and beyond chill
people were cool and had a good vibe overall. not to say anime cons don't have it, but random conversations hit different
musical aspect (the performances and such) was a really neat aspect
cons:
rooms were tricky to get (before people started cancelling)
little to no cosplay (honestly most egregious part)
Nat harbor kind of limited in terms of food

the neutral was stuff related to covid, like guests cancelling last minute, but ig it can't be helped and not really something I can hold against magfest as a whole.

[Anonymous No.10717065]

>>10716906
They had those 2 player mecha games. The ones you sit side by side for.
Battletech pods were missing which I always try and spend a few hours doing. Generally the arcade had a little bit of everything, but was more missing the raw number of machines like usual. Oh light guns there was only three working out of the six. Luckily time crisis 2 was working.

>little to no cosplay (honestly most egregious part)
Not really surprising, MAGfest hasn't historically been cosplay focused at all. They used to do cosplay roasts instead of cosplay contests, for example. They haven't done that in a while because people got butthurt, though.

Can confirm and also back up this anons claim with this screenie here.

Clealry the girl in question was not mentally well and we need to treat it as such and be as respectable as humanely possible.

I just really hope this person gets the help she deserves and things can improve and get better for them.

Honestly it wasn't really too bad, I was just sad they didn't have junk food places like McDanks or Taco bell nearby, it was mostly more expensive/ritzy food places. In retrospect, it's a pretty minor gripe. I think I'm more used to big city cons that have more stores/restaraunts available/better transportation (AnimeNYC, ABoston, Ota, etc).

Hello 4chan fellow Staffer here. This thread is currently under investigation regarding an incident that has happened at Magfest 2022

There is a small slim chance that this entire thread will be logged and recorded for our records and to look into the potential culprit that caused an incident in our venue. Thank you for your cooperation and hope you have a nice day!

Look if you were representing a brand or big company and are getting paid or getting some sort of big benefit from it. Wouldnt you like to also find out about a particular person who has caused issues or problems with said company or business and be able to report them to the higher ups so the company can continue to flourish and better themselves on a professional level?

Shout out to Magfest for having shitty security overall and able to let some random DJ guy sneak into the convention floors unchecked and who were also unvaccinatted being able to set up their DJ setup and perform a couple of songs before security finally did something about it. You guys really are something else
