I have been speaking to a few people who attended fanfest last few times, and their words were "...the stench of BO is so unbearable especially when its such a small hall, if you are planning on going either take a hot girl with you to scare away the nerds or wear a gas mask, its that bad when everyone begins to party..."

Now I work out and know sometimes things can smell bad, but im not stuck to them and the fanfest videos show very little space to breathe (or move).

What measures will CCP be taking to prevent this health hazard?

I am buying a brand new silk anime shirt for this. My BO should be tolerable up until saturday at least.

Last year was actually ok. 2009 was disastrous.
Maybe the welcome pack for attendees should also contain a bar of soap ("Fleur de Gallente") and a leaflet informing about its use.

On the internet, you can be whatever you want to be. It is amazing that so many people chose to be stupid.

So....im not sure what youre expecting here. CCP can you force people to take showers and improve their hygiene? Do you want the bathroom dispensers to be stocked with deodorant and cheap cologne? Maybe standard minmatar issue right guard should be given out at the enterance?

Oh wait! We should probably treat people like a prison does and strip them down and dust them with delousing powder and give them clean prison issues to wear! Take that Farva! Sorry about the delousing powder. Its powdered sugar. The lice hate the sugar. Its delicious.

Unfortunatly CCP has no control over people in RL. You cant force a shut-in to bathe and smell nice. All i can suggest is maybe a menthol based ointment swabbed in and around the nostrils. Itll help with the smell.

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

The best defense is a good offense....Bring your favorite stink-em, and soak your clothes in it before heading out.....
Then they will be as offended by your smell as you are by their's....Everybody wins.....Cool

There is a solution for this. It's called smoking. Alas it has been banned in many countries and the primary reason for me to not visit bars. Not that I mind smoking a cigarrete outside but because of the intense reek of a human horde. There exists a simple solution: introduce a synthetic tobacco scent in your airfilter. I. KID. YOU. NOT. Things were a lot simpler when people had cheaper clones in irlsec.

Gross!

Loss is meaningful. Therefore is the loss of meaning likewise meaningful. It is the source of all trolling.

I'll be bringing this. It conveniently comes in a travel-size bottle small enough to take through security.

I attended in 2009 and actually didn't notice a problem. Of course, maybe I was "that guy." LOL.

I'm glad to see Old Spice has made a comeback these last few years. For decades they were primarily a product only grandpas bought.

I've... seen things you people wouldn't believe...

How hard is it to take a shower and put deodorant on?

It rubs the lotion on its skin or else it gets the hose again.

Looking to talk on VOIP with other EVE players? Are you new and need help with EVE (welfare) or looking for advice? Looking for adversarial debate with angry people?

The best strategy is to smell worse than they do.
