[Ghoulish Delight]

Wow, cool, they are going through with the 2 day event. But it sounds like the 2 day option is open to everyone, meaning they have ditched the "invitational" concept. If so, that means that the Happy Haunts will not be in the oficial running, as we've been forced into retirement. :) :( <--- mixed emotions. I can't wait to find out if we can remain competetive without the lure of prizes.

[Cadaverous Pallor]

We're still able to kick some ass though. :evil:
For those who decide to do the whole thing, the Saturday portion of event will be a nighttime set of puzzles focused on Disneyland Park, though you may stray into other areas of the resort.Nighttime! Awesome! :D

[€uroMeinke]

Hmmm - a Mouse Adventure over Nietzsche's birthday weekend - we'll that might inspire some interesting team names...

[scaeagles]

My family and I will actually be there that weekend. I'll have to keep an eye out for people running around in the event.

[Alex]

Just so you all know, I'm back as the point person on this one, so questions are correctly directed to me this time (whereas last time I had the immense pleasure of just shrugging my shoulders and saying "not my job").

If questions are asked here, I will eventually see them and respond, but if possible I do ask that they be asked over at MousePad so that I will see them sooner and only have to answer them once in a central place.

I look forward to seeing many of you at the event and taking an event off was a good thing as I am once again looking forward to the process of making the game. I always enjoy it while it is happening but the months before it can drag.

[Not Afraid]

I like the "if possible" clause. ;)

Cool! I hope we're in town that weekend. Now that Alex is in charge again, prepare for blazing hot. Isn't that your curse, Alex?

[Ghoulish Delight]

Cool! I hope we're in town that weekend. Now that Alex is in charge again, prepare for blazing hot. Isn't that your curse, Alex?That particular curse was broken in the last one he did, in DCA. But I think that was just the deity of your choice taunting us. "Oh look, they built in a challenge that gets people soaking wet...how about cold weather this time!"

[innerSpaceman]

that means that the Happy Haunts will not be in the oficial running, as we've been forced into retirement. ... I can't wait to find out if we can remain competetive without the lure of prizes.
Pull yourself together!!! This will be the grudge match between The Happy Haunts and The Denton Affair!!

We are twice your age and we will mop the floor with you!

[Not Afraid]

Oh boy! The has beens are already working on puffing themselves up -- as if it matters.

[Cadaverous Pallor]

Pull yourself together!!! This will be the grudge match between The Happy Haunts and The Denton Affair!!

We are twice your age and we will mop the floor with you!Bring it on, old man! :evil:

Hey, we don't have to pay for it either, how cool is that?

[DisneyFan25863]

Darn, doesn't look like I can do this one either. Next year, perhaps?

[Alex]

I like the "if possible" clause. ;)

Well, I meant it in the sense of "if you can be bothered" not "if you are allowed" but I can see that it was a poor choice of words.


As for the trash talking, don't forget that there is another Masters team and they're not exactly pushovers.

[Not Afraid]

Hehehehe. I know, but I could NOT resist, could I. (Nor would you expect me too ;) )

And, why does "General You" come to mind?

(OK, Alex is going to hit me next time I see him.)

[Kevy Baby]

(OK, Alex is going to hit me next time I see him.)Put several smilies in your post to ensure that!

:) :cool: :blush: :D :evil: :eek: :coffee: :cheers:

[Cadaverous Pallor]

As for the trash talking, don't forget that there is another Masters team and they're not exactly pushovers.I don't trash talk the-mouse.com because I'm actually really frightened of them. ;) The Denton Affair, on the other hand...:evil:

[Babette]

Mouse Adventure - yaaaay! :fej:

[Disneyphile]

You all are toast!!!!

Fellowship of the Mouse OWNS!!!

:p

(Never too early for taunting.) ;)

[Not Afraid]

Hey, Teamwhateverournamemightbe isn't exactly chopped liver.

[€uroMeinke]

Hey, Teamwhateverournamemightbe isn't exactly chopped liver.

Heh along with Teamwhoevermightbeonourteamthisgo

[belleh5]

Wow 2 days!!! I'm still tired from the last MA. I'll be there for Gay Day's and MA this fall!! :D


SuperStar Losers!!

[Bornieo: Fully Loaded]

I wanna play. Anyone wants to play with me (not counting ML) please let me know! I wanna either join a team or start one!

Anyone? Or am I alone? ;)

[Ponine]

I may be alone as well. What event or events were you thinking about?

[Cadaverous Pallor]

I wanna play. Anyone wants to play with me (not counting ML) please let me know! I wanna either join a team or start one!

Anyone? Or am I alone? ;)I suggest you start your own thread to draw attention - I'll bet you'll find at least one other person to team up with. Good luck and welcome to the pageantry that is MouseAdventure! :coffee:

ETA: Oops, didn't see Ponine's post...

[Ghoulish Delight]

Also, be sure to keep an eye on MP, there's always a thread for people looking for teams.

[TigerLily]

I amy need a team as well...I changed jobs so there went one teammate and my other teammates broke up so.....I'm alone again....LOL

[Stan4dSteph]

Registration is now open! Go crazy, kids. :cheers:

[Disneyphile]

FotM is registered. We shall once again be the One Team to Rule Them All!!! :p

*taunt taunt*

[Prudence]

And once again, I'll be stuck at home, envious. :(

Hmmm...I could always hire myself out to perform tiki war chants on behalf of particular teams. Or against certain teams, as the case may be. :evil:

[Ponine]

hey... anyone staying off property? Did you get a good rate? where?
Did you get a good rate ON property?

I'll be there with one gf, and would love to find a place to stay for under $129 if possible.

Ponine, I just booked a room at the Holiday Inn(between Harbor & Ball Rd) for $70 a night. Good luck! :D

[Morrigoon]

FotM is SO going to rule! And we're still eligible for prizes! :evil:

[€uroMeinke]

Some day we'll register...

I'm staying at the tropicana for $99.00....I think park inn anaheim was $79.00...

[Cadaverous Pallor]

Some day we'll register...:eek:

[Disneyphile]

FotM is SO going to rule! And we're still eligible for prizes! :evil:Yep - with Happy Haunts out of the way, we might have a good chance of taking something home! :p

[Not Afraid]

Yep - with Happy Haunts out of the way, we might have a good chance of taking something home! :p

Especially if Team TBD doesn't sign up soon.

Remember, we've had a 1st a second and a third win so far.

[Stan4dSteph]

Especially if Team TBD doesn't sign up soon.

Remember, we've had a 1st a second and a third win so far.Yes, and you got rid of the dead weight, so you should kick butt.
:gnome:

[Not Afraid]

No. I haven't gone anywhere. ;)

[Cadaverous Pallor]

Yep - with Happy Haunts out of the way, we might have a good chance of taking something home! :pNever mind, there was that one time you guys squashed us...credit where credit is due ;)

[Disneyphile]

Never mind, there was that one time you guys squashed us...credit where credit is due ;)Yeah, but if it wasn't for the voodoo dolls.......

Oooops. I've said too much. Nevermind....... ;)

[Morrigoon]

All I know is I'd never have made it through that last one w/out pain killer. Oh man, I could barely walk by the end of it!

[Disneyphile]

All I know is I'd never have made it through that last one w/out pain killer. Oh man, I could barely walk by the end of it!Just for kicks, I'll remember to pack the Happy Haunts dolls and we'll stash them in Golden Dreams for the whole day. That's sure to make 'em frustrated, if anything, just for the comic factor. ;)

Ok, nah.. I couldn't be that cruel. :evil:

[€uroMeinke]

So, I registered our team - now we just have to get together and figure out who's all on it.

[Ghoulish Delight]

Well, the Alex effect is back in force. The 10-day forcast has the temperature at 80 in Anaheim next Sunday. I'm sure that'll be up closer to 85-90.

[MickeyLumbo]

I wanna play. Anyone wants to play with me (not counting ML) please let me know! ;)


come on, my little puddin' pop, you know you want to.

[Not Afraid]

Well, the Alex effect is back in force. The 10-day forcast has the temperature at 80 in Anaheim next Sunday. I'm sure that'll be up closer to 85-90.

Damn you to the fiery hell you bring to us every MA. ;)

[Alex]

I'm sorry.

[Alex]

Wait, no I'm not. I just looked it up. The average temperature for Anaheim on October 16 is 80 degrees. So it will be an average day.

The record high is 109 in 1958, so it could be worse.

[Ghoulish Delight]

Wait, no I'm not. I just looked it up. The average temperature for Anaheim on October 16 is 80 degrees. So it will be an average day.

The record high is 109 in 1958, so it could be worse.Pfft. Settling for just "average". You'll never get anywhere in this world with that attitude.

[innerSpaceman]

Could be raining.





(Actually, now that Alex has pointed out the 109 record high, look for 111)

[Not Afraid]

Out go the turtlenecks. ;)

[€uroMeinke]

Time do design the team Speedo

[€uroMeinke]

After much deliberation our team now has a name:

As much as I wanted to pay homage to my personal savior, Freidrich Nietzsche, whose birthday happens to fall on Mouse Adventure Weekend this year; my brilliant team name suggestions such as “If you’re going to Disneyland be sure to bring the Dole Whip,” “Behold the UberMaus,” “The Eternal Recurrence of Tomorrow,” “Walt is Dead,” and “Also Sprach Uncle Remus;” I was overruled.

Instead we shall be known as: Pro Bono

At the moment, it looks like we will be a team of three (or maybe 2 and three-quarters as one team mate may have to depart early to go to work); however, we are actively recruiting for a 4th member who posses bioluminescence. If you, or you know of someone who likes Disneyland and also glows in the dark, please send me a PM.

[Ponine]

Oh mannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn.............

I'd volunteer but I already have a team mate......... :(

[Brigitte]

I have some glow in the dark paint here, I can fake it ;) Only if you're flying me down and putting me up though, we're broke :(

[Stan4dSteph]

After much deliberation our team now has a name:
we shall be known as: Pro BonoWait, so you have a U2-related name after I leave the team? I call shenanigans!

[€uroMeinke]

Wait, so you have a U2-related name after I leave the team? I call shenanigans!

We thought it a fitting homage to our absent member...

[Stan4dSteph]

We thought it a fitting homage to our absent member...Awwww. That's cool.

You wouldn't be trying to get any preferential treatment now, would you? :D

[€uroMeinke]

Awwww. That's cool.

You wouldn't be trying to get any preferential treatment now, would you? :D

So far my fellow team mates have been set against a policy of spectacular cheating I put forward, but I find little wrong with spreading a bit of goodwill among those who we do so appreciate.

[Not Afraid]

Awwww. That's cool.

You wouldn't be trying to get any preferential treatment now, would you? :D

What kind of preferential treatment would you give us? ;)

JUST KIDDING!

[€uroMeinke]

JUST KIDDING!

No wait - let's explore this a bit before ruling it out as a bit of playfull supposition...

[Ghoulish Delight]

So far my fellow team mates have been set against a policy of spectacular cheating I put forward,Geez, they've done it their way, what, like 5 times now. How selfish of them.

[Not Afraid]

Wait wait wait He's the one that smuggled handcuffs into Disneyland.

[Cadaverous Pallor]

Aww, I liked Chris' ideas. The U2 reference is sweet though.

But what hats will you wear???

[Stan4dSteph]

But what hats will you wear???Bono is a man of many hats.

[Cadaverous Pallor]

Dude, Alex's last email mentioned the weather - looks like it might actually RAIN on Sunday! Weather.com currently says 40% chance. But, but...who wants to wear a jacket over a really cool shirt? :mad:

Keeping papers dry would be interesting too.

[belleh5]

And no flash lights either!!! :mad:

[€uroMeinke]

Hence our recent experiments with bioluminescence - unfortunately my boss took the the SONGS job today so no quick stroll through the radwaste building for me.

[Not Afraid]

I offered to flash my headlights.

budum bum.

[Cadaverous Pallor]

Hence our recent experiments with bioluminescence - unfortunately my boss took the the SONGS job today so no quick stroll through the radwaste building for me.
Heehee!

I wonder if they'll actually dock anyone for using a light source. Not that we'd try it.

[Cadaverous Pallor]

I offered to flash my headlights.

budum bum.Now THAT would distract day guests.

[Morrigoon]

Any rules against wearing "wheelies"?

[Cadaverous Pallor]

Hats? Who said anything about hats?<Fiddler on the roof>

TRADITIONNNNNN........TRADITION!

</Fiddler>

[Bornieo: Fully Loaded]

Well, if our team is in need of some illumination, I'll just expose my legs. ;)

[Stan4dSteph]

I wonder if they'll actually dock anyone for using a light source. Not that we'd try it.You could always try and find out.

[Cadaverous Pallor]

You could always try and find out.Not our style...we leave rule breaking for €uro to explore. :D

[Disneyphile]

No shirts for us this time. Didn't have time to get the designs finished. :(

But, I am thinking that glow necklaces are highly fashionable accessories, and sold right there at the park....... ;)

[Ponine]

OMG I totally need pink glow necklaces. I didnt even think of that.

[Ghoulish Delight]

I think you'd better ask for a ruling on whether that constitutes a "personal source of illumination".

[Kevy Baby]

So...

Why isn't anybody on the boards today?

Oops, wrong thread

[€uroMeinke]

So...

Why isn't anybody on the boards today?

Oops, wrong thread

I'm here

[Not Afraid]

So am I.

I guess we're just nobodies.

[Ghoulish Delight]

I'm not.

[Kevy Baby]

I'm hereI'm not.

Seriously though; when I saw that it (MA) was two days, I didn't know today started until tonight. Just ass-you-me'd that (most) everyone was at MA.

If I can, I will stop by the park to cause distractions.

[Tito's Kitten]

It is so crazy that once again, I have no one who would do MA with me and I wouldn't do it by myself YET I will be in the park on Sunday (later today) because I happened to make plans to go NOT realizing that yes today was MA. I will more than likely see most of you all running around (like I did at the LAST MA that I was at DL for a visit that just so happened to be on an MA day.) I am like the Queen lurker. In the know but not involved....

[Kevy Baby]

Congratulations to all of the participants from the LoT!
