As far as names of cons go

[booksomewench]

I can't tell if NonCon is the best or the worst I've ever heard.

Seriously, did anyone stop to think about this one? Was it intentional? I JUST DON'T KNOW!!!

The "noncon.vassar.edu" url gives it that extra bit of special, too...

I guaranDAMNtee it was thought through, determined to be sufficiently ironic, and thus adopted.

The pre-cursor to the Vassar Non-human Association (i.e., back in my day) was SCAR, Student Coalition Against Reality.

I don't know whether to laugh or be squicked.

I can't really say, as I was the person who ran HypothetiCon. "Didn't happen last year, won't happen again this year!"

Hey, did the SFS at UConn ever run any more cons when you were there? What were they called?

I hate to ruin the mystery, but I can say with certainty that the obvious meaning was not the primary reason for the name, but that the first concom was aware of the possible implication.

Mainly 'cause I'm the one who pointed it out to them.

We briefly, very briefly, considered calling our attempt at getting a gaming con together at Michigan...

um...con!
