Backstage: Creating the Convention
Posted by The Toontown Team on September 15, 2015 at 2:15 PM
Welcome to the most recent addition of the Toontown Backstage columns -- Wow, what an honor it is to be here! My name is Jacob, known as "Weird Wacko", one of the support and moderation team members here on the Toontown Rewritten team.
Moderation isn't all I take care of, though. I'm actually one of the primary coordinators for making ToonFest at OMGCon 2015 possible! The team asked me to write this post for you all, and either they've all gone crazy, or they finally realized it was about time to stop letting Sir Max hog all the spotlight! Well, let's see if we can do this without getting sidetracked too much. Let's talk about how I helped with:
Traveling is one of the best parts of attending conventions, with all of the cool places you get to see. We've always tossed around the idea of attending a convention as the Toontown Rewritten Team, but I finally realized how it could actually happen! I ran home in my costume with my shield flying in the air to arrange a meeting with Sam ("Shockley") and Joey ("Sir Max"), who completely loved the proposal.
This time last year, there was talk of a real-world ToonFest, but our playerbase had only 150,000 users and we felt that it wasn't enough just yet. When we hit a landmark 500,000 registered accounts only a few months later, we felt it was about the time to use a Level 7 Lure gag with a 100% chance of not missing our opportunity.
We contacted a few conventions which were being held around the time of Toontown's 12th anniversary, marking the beginning of summer, and it was quickly decided that OMG!Con was our best bet. A meeting was held the moment we got our acceptance email, but the question was -- what's next?!
No one expected us to hold a real life convention, neither did we! Joey helped plan out a big surprise post to announce it, and a mere 24 hours after that announcement, it was a hit! OMG!Con contacted us again, surprised at sudden influx of tickets that came from Toontown and offered a promotion code to give out to TOONS ONLY! They even scheduled us into the main event room.
With this many attendees, though, that only meant that we would have to make it even better than what we had planned. We received comment after comment, email after email about excited players who decided to spend their entire summer vacation trip coming to party with us.
People came from all over the United States to come see us at OMG!Con - and our staff had to come from all around, too! None of us actually live in Kentucky, ironically enough. For our first convention, we wanted to try to get a centralized location where travel could be pretty even from all sides of the United States, which the overwhelming majority of our playerbase comes from.
A lot of us flew, and some even drove for 12 hours straight! In addition to meeting all of you, we even got to meet each other for the first time due to the technological boundaries of our team. We come from all over the world, but meeting each other there was like seeing a distant family member.
In addition to the many players who came to see us, we had a couple of guest celebrities come and talk to us as well, such as Xander Mobus from Nintendo's Super Smash Brothers (3DS/Wii U) who gave us this awesome recording. We also designed a bunch of Toony props to check out, such as a real life Bean Bank and Estate phone!
The biggest and best part of the entire weekend was when the time finally came for our panel to begin. As the time approached, people were wrapped all around the walls and down the stairway just to get in. In total, there were over 250 people who came solely for Toontown!
Now that you've heard all about ToonFest at OMG!Con, we want to hear about what we should do in the future! This event wouldn't have been possible without you, and we'd love to hear your thoughts on the next one.
Should we host it at OMG!Con again? Do you have any conventions that you'd like us to attend instead? We want to hear from you!
Wait - it's September already?! I have to run and prepare for the ToonFest 2016 convention now! What kind of prizes should we give? Trophies? Buttons? Beans?... Oof, I better get started!
Have a great time at ToonFest 2015!

An Interesting Idea
When I'm not spending my time dropping big weights on Cogs, training trap, or waiting on help to defeat a Cog Building ToonTask, I like to attend conventions. Did I say like? I mean I LOVE it!Traveling is one of the best parts of attending conventions, with all of the cool places you get to see.

Another really good convention in around the same area and around the same time would also be Colossalcon in Sandusky, OH. I personally have attended that particular convention for around 3 years now and it is honestly one of my favourite cons to go to. Not only do they have a convention there, but it is held attached to an indoor waterpark!

I may be British but it doesn't mean I don't know any cons that are great in the US! For example, I suggest Detour as from people's point of views, it is REALLY amazing and the hotel is simple to get to!

I think that there should be multiple conventions around the world (e.g. Held in the USA, UK, Australia etc. where players are more common) at a similar time of year so that people from all over the world can meet fans and get merchandise. I'm from the UK and I know that I would love to go to a Toonfest at some point; who knows, maybe I'll go to America to attend one.

Of course you should do it at OMG!con again! It's the only way I'd actually have a chance of meeting the team in person, as I don't have any spare portable holes to just teleport me to the convention, and therefore would have to rely on other toons to get me there!

A convention in another state would be great to change up the demographics and people there, if you kept it at OMG!con it would be the same people there all over again.

OMG!Con was the first convention of this type that my husband and I ever attended and YES, we did attend solely for TTR. We live in Florida so the road trip was not out of the question. The Holiday Inn was amazingly welcoming and helpful. We would not fly to a TTR Event but we would be more than willing to make another 2 day road trip. Thank you for all you do for all of us crazy ATTA Members. Sincerely, Lisa Saul

Maybe you guys could do a convention in New York, New Jersey, Philly, or Boston! I don't know any conventions in those states, but I wouldn't doubt that one of them would have one. I would love to go to one! One activity you guys should do is battles. Someone can dress up as a cog and there should be different kinds of gags to use and people can defeat the cog. Hopefully I would be able to attend! :D :)

Still in the hopes that one day I'll see a Toonfest in Brazil. I'm pretty sure we have one of the largest fanbases outside the USA (we might only be behind the UK one, or even be the largest), though I understand it might not be possible right now. For now, I'm just happy enough that I was able to get those trading cards even though I'm in the other side of the continent, it sorta made up for not being able to go there. I know you guys are doing your best, so keep it up!

I think a great idea would be to go somewhere closest to where most of the players live. The poll did have a lot of votes for the North Eastern part of the US. Which I think is a great idea.

I suggest having a convention in Florida! It's not just for the fact that I live there, its because LOTS of people live around the area. There are probably better places to have it (like around the west side of the states), but I thought that I would place the suggestion. Keep up the good work!

It would be pretty cool if you could find a way to travel to a few different conventions (obviously not at the same time, but do a few weekends that month.) I personally have enjoyed my experiences at ComicCon/Fan Expo Dallas. The dates for next year's Fan Expo are already set to June 3rd-5th. It's larger than the ComicCon that is held, but they're both fun to go to. Thanks for letting us put in some ideas for this! ^^

I personally think ToonFest should continue to be held within a "middle range," so that all players have a fairly equal chance of being able to reach it. Perhaps not exactly OMGcon, but just something in the center just like it. J can't wait for ToonFest 2015-2016! I bet they'll be great!

I think you should definitely hold more conventions, although unless it's in my area (Florida/Georiga), I won't be able to attend. :( And I know many others had my same problem, so if, and hopefully when, you hold future conventions, I think you should hold them in various places around the country (or globe).

you should give cream pie slices to people with a little slip inside it (like a fortune cookie) granting them one free complete task upon making an account. Or that seems lame... Idk, I'm terrible at this stuff .-. Great post, good job TTR!

While I doubt a panel could be gotten; I'd suggest seeing what you could do when it comes to going to Pax for ToonFest 2016.

sounds like next year will be even bigger how about having it near 6 flags in Georgia or near Carowinds In Charlotte N.C. that way you can make it a fun weekend while having say a banquit at one of the hotels or restaurants near such places where everyone could say have a shirt made up saying toonfest 2016 with a picture of there toon on it because if you take it near a theme park I guarantee your attendance would be much higher or if you really want to get wild have it at Disney itself hehe! I Could introduce you to my friend who works in the executive offices of Disney yus that's right I have a friend there who would love to meet us!

Now, I love all the conventions, accessories, and posts, but (not trying to be rude,and if I am I'm SO sorry XD) we need to slow down a bit.(lol) Space the conventions so it's special. SO it's not like a convention every 6 months. Also the people who couldn't come (like myself) we really do wish we could come and enjoy the celebration. So I suggest states like Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, or Oklahoma. Yet again, this is just a suggestion. I'm only one toon. You guys are more capable of doing whatever you want. :)

I remembered how you used the toon cards which you had people send in. I would maybe recommend looking at the location of those people, because they have already made an extra step to communicate with you or you could maybe also send a mass email to everyone with an account on toontown asking for their region (ex. Southwest, Northeast) through a quiz or maybe even something on here. I would just use this information and go from there to plan something. Whatever is possible for you to get to, and has the highest popularity of players who replied, I would probably go there.
