I'm not diabetic! I'm sure it will be DELICIOUS! A friend of mine's birthday is on Thursday as well ... she's rooming with us. We're gonna have a random mini party in my room lol.

I'm kinda sick right now so I won't be on as much today ^^;

[one-wing]

Hey everyone YAY I found my way back to this thread finally! XD I accidently found my old profile OneWing, which is actually on the first page of this thread...may I, rejoin? :D I was Obi Wan Glompnobi :D Glomp Team Jedi. Amunet invited me back yay :D Oh, btw? If you see me (AC Cloud) and you glomp me? When you turn around, I will so glomp you back. Harder. Pweeze, glomp me! :D

By the way...do you always have to ask to glomp someone? Or can you just be considerate like...don't glomp them if their costume is going to fall off...you know

[Cherry_Wolf]

Uh, I don't think you always have to ask to glomp people, but I do know it will be appreciated if you do. Some people can get rather paranoid and/or rigid, despite the awesome atmosphere of the con.

*GLOMP*

[Little Kirara]

I do beg of people, if you're going to glomp me, ask me first, and be careful. It was partly for that reason last year of people not asking me, glomping me from the back, glomping me to rough, that I have to remake my Kirara paws. They just got distroyed. I'm top heavy with my head, and if it falls to one side, so do i. I did appreciate the very few people that tapped me on the shoulder and asked if they could glomp me, even though few of those few were actually gentle about it. One girl tried and hit her head on my cosutme head. Knocked me off balance for a while. XD So please, be considerate. Unless you know the person, it is usually prefered that you ask before you glomp, especially those people in costume. They worked hard, if they didn't want you to glomp them, you could send things spiraling in a completely different direction. Yes people are paranoid out there, espesially with hard worked costumes.

Thanks ^^

[wildcat83]

I too would like to request, though i dont know if any will, that people ask to glomp me. I am not used to this nor do i know how this works, so I would like to be asked if it is ok to glomp me. Much appreciated

*glomp*

[Amunet]

I shall add on to these answers later, I'm sick and I gotta go to work now x.x blah

In other things, I have no problems being glomped, just prefer to get a tap on the shoulder and asked first if possible, or just someone making a loud noise before hand if you want to glomp me from behind....
Especially if I carrying around a prop. I would prefer not to nearly stab someone with my wooden Tensa Zangetsu for my Ichigo costume.
Someone almost did last year at Youmacon, cause they didn't give me time to move it or at least set it down. Lets just say it almost took flight over the second story balcony onto the one of the Spoony Bards heads. Thankfully I sorta slid out of the way and let the person stumble as I handed my sword to Cloud cosplayer who was stannding nearby. Then I was like, 'now you can glomp me....'

[FlyingElf]

wait a minute, doesn't asking someone if you can glomp them sort of defeat the purpose? Isn't that half the point of a glomp?

[one-wing]

Lol that's exactly what I thought FlyingElf XD well, this is how I've felt about it. If someone has a solid costume like Kagome or Tifa, what is there to fall apart that easily? I understand it's possible but you know. Obviously if it's like a Gundam or Ubaba from Spirited Away then you would want to ask first lol.

Well I dont understand the whole concept of "Glomping", but it really should be best to ask first unless that person states he/she has no problem with being without notice. Most people are not used to people grabbing on and hugging especially strangers. I personally wouldnt be comfortable with it cause i dont know the person and something might be going on at that time.

[Amunet]

You got the right Idea wildcat

Basically ... yeah ... glomping is suppose to be random and fun and for some it is ... but there are SOME that would preferred to be asked. You can still dish out a good glomp after you ask permission and they allow it.

The reason why I'm making it so that it'd be best to ask is that you guys represent the Glomp Team and if you go around glomping with no regards to anyone else ... it would give a bad name to the team. Most people already view glomping as bad and we are just trying to prove it wrong.

Maybe this will help:

When to ask
- If person looks stand-offish
- If person is in an elaborate cosplay
- If person is carrying around one or multiple props
- If person is in a precarious position (such as crowching down or body is twisted ... we want to avoid accidents)
- If you JUST DON"T KNOW! Better to ask then have a negative response.
-If person expresses in thread/forum that they wish to be asked first

When not to Ask
- If person has GLOMP ME somewhere on their body
- If person doesn't have a costume that would fall apart during contact (still is polite to ask)
- If person is drunk with no drink in hand (this is REALLY funny XD but still ... it's nice to ask)

Glomping is like picture taking at a con. People prefer that you ask, it's polite. And, just like taking pictures, if you ask to glomp and they say no ... then no hard feelings, they will most likely be shocked/surprise/thankful that you asked in the first place

[Cherry_Wolf]

I will find you and glomp you on surprise now, FlyingElf, and as soon as you realize you are being glomped, I shall be gone!! >DDD

Thats if you can find me. I'm as elusive as Robert Denby.

[one-wing]

What is Riding with Death about?

BTW, everyone should know I will have a huge glomp me sign on while I'm casual Cloud. Please, tackle me to the fricking floor ( especially the Aeriths/Cloud fangirls/ladies ^-^; )

[Cherry_Wolf]

FlyingElf- You're that elusive?! DD=

one-wing- Bzzt! Signs are prohibited at ACen... unless it's an actual part of the cosplay. (example: Ranma's dad, when a panda, uses signs to talk)

[mendokuse]

Hmm... can a person get more than one glomping at the same time?

[Lightning_Fox!]

The term "glomp" has been so effing distorted over the years, I've given up preaching the correct definition and form. Now, most can't tell the difference between a glomp and a tackle. I miss the old nerdy, slightly odd, mild mannered otaku. Now cons are filled with hyper active pretentious noobs. I miss real glomps.

You can all ignore this. I was just pittying myself and anyone that has been to more than 15 cons. Sorry guys. lol.

Right I understand that, but I'm wondering 2 things: 1) Isn't that for advertising, and 2) it would be part of my cosplay, casual glomp target Cloud lol, I'm dead serious though.

And if you're referring to my post Lightning_Fox! I can understand where you're coming from, but I meant it as an intensity of the glomp not an actual tackle. What I should have said was "please glomp me to the floor" PLEASE...o.o um, ahem. Yes.

[SmilesI]

I think it's easy to find you Elf! heh is it cuz you look for me? *glomples Elf*

*Saber Glomples Amunet*

*Glomples Cherry for the fun of it*

on note of asking if you can glomple: heh you can glomple without it being a surprise glomple. It's just not a surprise glomple but a basic glomple. *nods* that's all.

*Glomples everyone who posted since I last did.*

Oh, no no no. It wasn't towards anyone. I was just reffering to the general public. Sorry about that, but yeah, let's leaving spearing to Goldberg.

don't worry raiji, I would never golmp you while in costume nor anyone for that matter. It was justa generic glomp here on the forum. i actually wont glomp anyone unless asked or if I know them pretty well/feel super comfortable around them. so beware Amunet i'll get you at ACEN..maybe in your pj's too ^-^

[Amunet]

Oooh sexy pj glomples >.>

Oh btw, I SO copyright the word Glomple! It was my own invention ... combination of Glomp/Huggle (huggle = Hug/Cuddle).
Oh yeah bumbershoot

Glomping is a huge issue now and that's why we have so many rules with this team, we want to spread the POSITIVE image of glomping, not the noobish way.

[Little Kirara]

I swear, if anyone even tries to glomp me without asking, I will freaking go off on them. My costume is a hazzard not only to the person glomping me, but mostly to myself. If someone tries to glomp me and I'm not prepared, or they glomp me to hard, and I go down or stumble or hit my head on something, that Kirara head is made out of chicken wire, and hit wrong, could puncture something, or even break my neck especially falling certain ways. Almost happened last year. Creepy little stalker girl almost killed me more than once. She kept screaming everytime she saw me, everytime I did even the littlest thing, and she followed me everywhere, constantly trying to tackle me like she thought that it was safe or something. That's not going to stop me from wearing my costume, because honestly, con goers should know how to be respectful of others costumes.

Yes, if someone has a glomp me sign on or in some way you can tell they are just asking to be glomped, then by all means, just don't hurt them. A glomp does not have to mean that you pull the person to the floor, nor does it mean you have to do it by surprise. A glomp is still a glomp even if you have to ask to do it. It does not defeat the purpose in any way.

[Amunet]

Well said Kirara

[Little Kirara]

Yay ^^

[Cherry_Wolf]

I hate to still be a stick in the mud, one-wing, but I think the character itself is suppose to have used that sort of sign... If I were you, I'd ask an IRT member... I'd hate for your sign to get taken away at the convention. But if it's cool, I will hunt you down and glomp you to pieces!! X3

I can't wait for some glomping action!! I plan on to coo, meow, or bark when I glomp someone!! >:3


OH, there was a baby bunny outside of my apartment when I came home from work.

[Amunet]

Yeah, you're not allowed to have signs ... but sewing words on your costume is totally allowable >.> I did that loophole my first acen XD
