After months of hard work and preparation behind the scenes, I'm pleased to announce to the world Facepunch's first ever community convention! We're currently searching for an appropriate venue to hold the get-together, but details of a number of the events and panels have already been hammered out.
[B][U]List of panels (not yet finalised)[/U][/B]
[U]Online Identity in the Modern Age[/U]
A number of influential Facepunch opinion leaders will be telling us the stories of how they got their usernames and avatars, as well as engaging in debate and discussion on topics such as the merits of animated versus static images, and the use of capital letters in usernames.
[U]Blues vs Golds: A Digital Class Struggle?[/U]
A panel composed of two blue members and two gold members will be discussing whether the inequalities between blues and golds are truly "fair" in a modern liberal society such as Facepunch.
[U]Gold Members Panel[/U]
This panel is open only to gold members. Details will be released in the GMF at a later date.
[U]Facepunch Quiz Show![/U]
In this quirky 'game show'-style panel, a number of highly experienced Facepunch users will be challenged by the quizmaster to demonstrate their knowledge of Facepunch's history, culture, and greatest memes. Detailed studying of Wikipunch is recommended!
[U]kill time panel[/U]
imagine unironically attending this panel
[U]The OIFY Sense of Humour: An Introduction[/U]
In this workshop session, a friendly and welcoming team of seasoned OIFY veterans will be on hand to teach "newbies" how to post correctly in the OIFY and become an accepted 'cool' member of the community.
[U]What Does Garry's Voice Sound Like?[/U]
A guy who once delivered a pizza to Garry's house will be going in-depth on what his voice sounds like and what kind of pizza it was.

[U][B]Other events and attractions[/B][/U]
[U]Facepunch Studios Press Conference[/U]
Gaming news sites are abuzz with rumours that Facepunch may finally be ready to unveil the highly anticipated sequel to Snabbo - you don't want to miss this!
[U]Avatar Cosplay Contest[/U]
The user who can most effectively cosplay as their own avatar will just win a ticket to see the movie "Get Hard" in a regular movie theatre
[U]PunQuest[/U]
In this one-of-a-kind party game experience, users will be given a news story and challenged to make as many puns as they can within the given time. But be careful - accidentally make a video game reference and you'll be given an electric shock!
[U]Speedtest X-Change[/U]
Print out your home internet speedtests and bring them along to share your story with other users - the user with the most tragically slow internet will win a ticket to [I]Get Hard[/I] starring Will Ferrell
[B]Want to hold your own panel/event?[/B] Simply post your idea in this thread and the PunchCon Executive Committee will consider your application. Tickets will go on sale in a few weeks' time once we've settled on a venue and kickstarted $500,000
won't be as good as JBcon but still seems neat
Maybe a PermaBan Panel (with some extra security) featuring Max, Seano, Milkandcooki, and resident North Korean ex-member Rayhalo
Also remember to bring your Facepunch playing cards people! I made a sweet General Discussion Theme Deck.
where's the sensationalist panel? I wanna be called a sjw feminazi in front of a live audience
Here's my panel proposal:
[U]DAAS Panel[/U]
By paying an extra $3, users can look at a breathtaking gallery that displays the finest scraps found at the bottom of Deviantart's barrel. Users taking part are encouraged to give critique to artistic works that range from inexplicably inflating Sonic the Hedgehog characters to Source Filmmaker screenshots that feature the Scout wearing different hats and outfits.
can i put together a booth selling posters of postal's ass

That's the typo in the brochure.
In reality, the gallery is a poorly constructed horror maze filled with life-sized DAbomination cutouts, strobe lights, and fog machines. You wander through trying to find the exit as you encounter the horrors mentioned in the description around every corner while listening to a soundtrack similar to a moist cave/stomach. If you survive you win a free pin for the fedora you picked up from entering the convention floor.
If it's being held in Donetsk Ukraine you best prepare your gas masks
Ukaine hype boys!
Tropsical guy q&a pls
Starpluck makes his grand return and holds a panel with Lamar discussing the Zionist conspiracy, combined with a contest to win free copies of The Protocols of The Elders of Zion.
Finally we can all meet up and punch each other in the face!
Do we have a daycare rented for the Rust kiddies? Because we might need to rent a second depending on how many show up.

I can easily get to Donetsk within 2 days, just let me borrow my brother's car.

If anybody needs me, I'll be tucked away in the Creationism Corner.
The last panel will be me, I will just walk up on stage and thunderous applause will ensue.

Will there be a Refugee Camp?

This time, he'll spoil Better Call Saul too.
Put up a crowdfunding campaign with stretch goals to get Garry to appear, and a live presentation of Postal's ass.
I have my own panel where I get really fucking plastered and insult everyone in the audience.
It ends with me having an emotional breakdown and crying while apologizing to everyone and telling them how much I love them.
[QUOTE=Hat-Wearing Man;47438355]if you don't bring a gasmask you shouldnt be allowed in[/QUOTE]
room is full of noxious gases.
gas masks are mandatory for attendance.
I demand a pug panel with Niandra or it's not a real con.
We should have a strawman of Max and others would pay to use a stale baguette to take out their frustrations on it. Bonus points if it speak with every pummel.

If there's a developing tech section then a virtual reality simulator of postal's ass would be incredible.
