I don't have a ton of time to post on weekdays anymore so I'll try to keep this less than rambling...

Congrats to the LoT teams! FEJ, Ralph Wiggam, and the P.O.P (featuring NirvanaMan) took 4th, and the SuperStar Losers took 2nd! <Cartman> Kiiiiick ass! </Cartman>

GD and I, the Happy Haunts, would have taken 5th if we were not Masters. Pretty respectable, eh?
More later...

Damn! If only I could have been there to join one of the teams. I'm sure I could have helped any of the LoT teams to finish in 18th place or even lower! Sorry I missed out.

Congrats to all who participated. Plus a

to everyone that worked to run the event.

Thanks for all the congrats! I feel so special to be congratulated by all you MA stars! This was not our first time, but our highest finish was around 27th!

We noticed a ton of teams just before 3 attempting to return their packets to the picnic area. I kind of felt bad for them and stopped a few to tell them they were going the wrong way. I too enjoyed the Tom Sawyer Island quest and the uniform eye spys were a twist on that game. A welcome twist, as our team hates those and usually only finds one or two!

Yeah, with the scramble to deal with the fact that their tables hadn't arrived to set up in the Esplanade, the staff seemed to be spread very thin in the morning (picnic are to check people in, bag check to redirect people to the picnic area, esplanade once the tables finally arrived, and mini Space Mountain for the group photo). Because of that it didn't seem like they were able to communicate as effectively as they normally do, either with each other or with us players.

BTW GD- I love your avatar! I saw the story about it on Best Week Ever.

I didn't know that Lani was a WoW player. It truly HAS taken over everyone's lives.

Heh. No Wifi at work

and even if we do get it there's no way I can do that while on the clock.

I have to say this was by far the most fun I've had playing MouseAdventure. It seemed like everyone was in good spirits all around. My team was eager to play but we also took a brief time out here & there to pose for photos and have a little extra fun. Getting second place was the icing on the cake, and damn if it ain't sweet! Glad to play along with everyone! If it weren't for good competition our victory would be hollow.

hehehe, and now for a few pics:

Before we met up with Andrew & Richard on Sunday morning, Nicki and I decided to go out for breakfast before our big day.

What do winning MouseAdventurers eat for for breakfast ?

Why pancakes of course!

Aaaahhhhhh! That hit the spot!

After the game began & the rain started to fall, we visited a friend of ours from under the sea.

Hehehe. Did I mention how much fun we had ?

I think I mentioned it to you after the first time this happened...

Glad to have it confirmed, though....

And that's what breaks/lunch are for.

Pancakes? Ingenious!
