It's not as bad as you think - tied for 20th.

Awww, we got 11th this year.

Ghoulish Delight · 04-17-2008, 01:58 PM

How many points was the chemistry one worth? We got it right, but apparently we were supposed to write the ride that the unscrambled phrase (toadi accelerato) referred to, not the phrase itself, so we didn't get the points for it. And since we weren't playing for keeps anyway, I have no qualms giving myself those theoretical points on that technicality. And had we not beaten the staff to TSI and managed to get the full 70 points early, rather than the consolation 30 points since the island closed...hell, I think that would have put us in 3rd place range, or there abouts! Wow, I feel a LOT better.

Chemistry was 50 points.
TSI was 60 points. (which we got right which kind of sucked cause we wasted an hour for a net 30 points).

Ghoulish Delight · 04-17-2008, 02:13 PM

Wow, so with the theoretical points we would have been in 4th (3rd highest score). Even keeping the mental-mistake points off and just adding the 30 from TSI we rightly should have received, would have had us in 7th. I'll take a top 10.

Well, our sucking was equal-opportunity sucking...we each managed to goof up a big point quest. Of course we had everything we really needed to finish all of them.

I "missed" a rule in the Haunted Mansion quest, then we missed a "K" in writing down a word set in Frontierland, and then we mis-read the directions on the Fantasyland Chemistry quest. I feel better that none of them were beyond our abilities but we just didn't execute them.

That would have been 170 points right there, and add that with the net 30 points on the Island quest and it is a huge difference.

Without the silly mistakes we would have been 3rd.

But, alas...we screwed up this one.

who puts that many K's in a word? I mean seriously - Knickknacks. There shouldn't be two K's in the middle. Who is the Miriam Webster person and how do I file a protest?

Oh good - at least we beat the Denton Affair.

Otherwise that would have just been embarrassing.
