I have 2 blisters on the bottom of my left foot, but otherwise I'm feeling pretty god in the muscle category. This cold, however, has turned me into a major snot producer. (Hey, I'm trying for payback for the vomit posts.
)
As for the game, we tanked. We had a really fun time.....until we ran head-first into a very hard brick wall. GC knew our drawing was the lockers right away. I think we were one of the first to get that packet. Unfortunately, that packet contained a compass and there is where our troubles began. Prudence's fantastic puzzle-solving skills couldn't dig us out of the deep hole we had stepped into. We waited way too long to give in and take a penalty, and therefore we didn't finish.
I found the puzzles in this format to be really fun and challenging, but when you hit that wall, it hurts in a big way. There's not a whole lot of strategy that can be incorporated like there is in classic MA format. This particular event also relied too much on other skills (2 compass activities - one of which was long and hard!). That right there threw us out of the running (although Chris DID bring his own compass as a joke not knowing that it would actually come in handy - that is, IF he knew how to use it.). Next time we WILL bring that grappling hook.
I was also disappointed that the umbrellas came down before 4:00. Not that we could've finished the game in time, but we did spend our last 20 minutes walking around Paradise Pier looking for "Orlando Bloom, Bialystock & Bloom, Move yer Bloomin' arse" or any straw that might work.
We had a lot of fun playing with Pru and GC and would love to play again with these two, since it seems that A is definitely going to be out of the race and Steph is staff. Damnit, DL and MP - stop stealing our team!
