Organization XIII Panel

[MGSsuperfan]

i is sorry to hear that. we did get in trouble, and im deeply sorry for it. i dint even know that that had happened to you. As for getting in trouble, i dont think that we should really do this panel again. it had too much negative connotation, and as for being an organization, we weren`t  organized at all. It may have been fun, but the disappointment from the family that left said it all. i felt really bad about it. some people didnt get asked much, and we started pulling people out of the audience. not cool. i want to apologize to the family that left, Tekkoshocon, the audience, and the panelists. there`s probably going to be a new rule for what we did, and i fell awful. Greatpin, and Lee, ur not too blame, i more or less am , for i, created the idea, and should of stayed with it for it all. kawaiiclaire, i deeply feel for you. i want to pay you back somehow, but i dont think i can give you any money. i want to give you something though...

I offer my condolences. if you can actually think of anything, pm me. umm, i have like $40 left, if you want that. i really dont want to do this again with all the pain, anger, embarrassment, and disappointment. we made Tekko history, and NOT in a good way. i hope you all had fun. im sorry to all.

I could never take any money from you, MGSsuperfan.  I just wanted everybody to know how that made me feel.  My friends and I were quite upset and were ready to chew somebody out bigtime. After talking around, we found that quite a few people agreed with us, although, I don't believe you're to blame. The person I hold the most grudge against hasn't even responded to this panel since Tekkoshocon, and that proves exactly what I thought about them.  Pulling people out from the audience wasn't professional at all, and I believe that caused the most havoc.  And Xemmy is right in saying it was her role as the MC, and that shouldn't have been taken from her.  For the time I was there, I saw the microphone get grabbed from her hands by Greatpein, and that was not cool at all.  It's a shame it had to turn out like this since myself and so many of my friends were very excited and looking forward to this. I hope that a lesson is learned, and for some, I know it has.

No offense to u kawaii BUT u had a right to be replaced I didnt go to this panel nor did i have anything to do with it except that greatpein is my good friend. If you didnt show up to the meeting then they had to have back up thats how life works. And yes u may not have known BUT that is not the panelist fault. If they cant keep in contact with all panelist then they have to find back up just in case. Thats why that happened so you cant truly get mad at the people in this panel since it was not their fault. Since you decided to be part of a panel it is your responsibility to keep in contact and know what is going on. I am sorry to hear that that happened but ur cosplay did not go to waste...this panel will most likly happen again so just do it next year

I do agree that not showing up to a pre-determined meeting does qualify for replacement, but if someone is heading a panel with others as co-panelists, it is their responsibility to make sure everyone is in the know. If they don't, it makes them look bad, like they were purposely trying to keep that uninformed person out of the loop because they wanted to replace them. If Kawaii knew about the meeting and just didn't show, that's shame on her. If those in charge failed to inform Kawaii, then it's shame on them. You can't leave one person in the dark when everyone else knows what's going on and expect things to go smoothly. With a panel of that size with that many individual panelists,  a contact should have been given so that in the event that someone was without computer access due to RL issues, people could still know what was going on.

I'm not saying that things were done purposely to shut out one person, but from the sound of it, the entire thing was a clusterf*** and a problem waiting to happen. With more organization, it may have been better. It only takes one bad apple to ruin the bunch and one bad complaint to have things shut down, so in the event that they're given a second chance to try again next year, hopefully it goes better than how it went this year.  :/

i agree purposly keeping someone out is wrong, but if the only comunication kawaii provided was internet and she wasnt able to be on it then that is not the leaders fault. And i do believe they are doing it again next year so its time to take that second chance and prove that we could make a great panel.

Not to randomly quip in, but it seems like the Organization panel was the least organized of all
