If you mean specifically this year, no one has.

If you want specific examples: look at the backlash Stacy Bither got with her Hello Kitty armour, Roman and his unicorn plushie, and Dom berating the guy from Atlanta Cosplay Group for his gold pulse rifle (which was a gift from his group for putting together the idea of doing Aliens costumes). On the flip side, there was hardly any fallout at Aaron Horrocks wearing a real uniform as part of the CG.

EDIT: Also there was the incident, not directly related to the parade, but where Dom decided to pass judgement on someone's marine cotume, who turned out to be photographer Bryan Humphrey, which nearly cost the group the free photoshoot he offered us that year, and Bryan and his wife (who has a xeno costume, would have been nice to have had another of those) were going to join the AL, however, after that, decided not to.

If you want explicit examples of people being turned away, is in someone saying to them "You can't be in the parade" there isn't one. But, yes, people have been made to feel unwelcome, it's certainly implied, however never said directly.

I feel to see how something I was told in person would be on a thread in the AL. Also, I did tell people and nothing was done because Dom threatened and cajoled. I know who did and did not support me, hence why I still talk with them and haven't tanked my account here.

I REALLY hate to say it Mike, but it might be an idea to knock the table on the head this year, and take the time to figure out something cool for the table for next year.

I heard rumors there was some sort of backdrop planned but not seen it yet.

I think if everyone puts their heads together, we could come up with something really good.

So back on topic...

More costumes from other installments of the franchise.

As for the table. I know we thought about flyers that had a pattern on them that if you cut them out and folded them up would make a marine or xeno toy.

Maybe activity books like the UKCM did at the Leicester show one year.

Badge ribbons like Emma makes each year.

Photo booth?

look, this thread is an example of why we can't have nice things. This in fighting has to stop. for the good of the group.

Scapey, what size mannequin would you need? and would you feel comfortable with a screen used prop being out and about?
