Re: Wesnoth IRL
Well, I will be man enough to admit that if I saw some women cosplaying as anything from the Elvish Shaman line, it would be the high point of my day.
Don't go to Glowing Fish for advice, he will say both yes and no.

Hahaha, based on that and this topic, I guess people around here don't like cosplay too much.Gambit wrote:No.Lx_121 wrote:cosplay
Costumes leads to plays leads to fan art leads to comics leads to Lisar getting raped by octopodes.
Anyways, I catch only the rarest glimpses of conventions and cosplay in the real life, and those usually of more mainstream titles (I distinctly remember seeing a guy dressed as Raiden walking around my university's math building one day and thinking "WTF?!"). Never been involved in those things myself, so I couldn't tell you how it would work with Wesnoth.
Re: Wesnoth IRL
well, this is where a difference lies: between developers & fans 
if we DON'T get crazy ppl (fans) dressing up as our characters & acting goofy, then it probably means that we didn't do our jobs right...

EDIT: There was a post above this that the first bit was in response to, I think the response itself covers what it was about adequately.
It always bothers me when anyone proclaims without irony or sarcasm that any one field of art is the greatest thing in existence. If someone suggested that 'art' as a whole was the greatest thing in existance (or even probably the greatest) I would give the comment more credit (though I would not agree with it).
I tend to prefer literary arts over visual ones (which I consider cosplay to be).
@Lx: It could be that if our fans arn't getting crazy/acting goofy (I don't consider dressing up to be inherantly goofy), that we simply tend to attract a different sort of fan. This could well be a good thing considering the average quality of fan in the world.

Moved to off-topic because it is thus.
