Wow what a great weekend. I still can't believe we tied for 2nd place!!!

I agree with Zap, Our team was eager to play and we had blast just hanging out together. It was so nice for not to rush home right after the game & hang out with everyone at the "AP" Lounge.

See you March!!!

I've posted quick and dirty explanations here.

If you have general questions it would be best to ask about them over there, but if they're more specific to your team, feel free to ask here and I'll eventually get back.

We've decided that the Spring 2006 event will, simply because we are running out of gimmicks take place entirely under water. The first task will be to quickly (since you'll already be under the water) build a sufficiently long string of straws so that you can breath and the last will be tickling the feet (from below) of Lisa's favorite swan.

I'll bring the Gillyweed.

But will there be basketweaving? It would sure be nice to finally put my college education to use.

That was my minor.

I won't stand a chance against you, Pru.

you had better hope there isn't a finger puppetry event. Especially underwater finger puppetry. I got my masters in that!

Collecting my straws so that I may kick ass in swan tickling,

Look for a new poster with a familiar IP address with the name 'Fraid Not.

The first question will probably be "Who is General You?"

But first, you must figure out wheich one is the favorite - the boy or the girl and then figure out which one is which. Extra points for what the proper names for male, female and baby swans are. (Gotta have that trivia in there somehow.)

Ghoulish Delight · 10-18-2005, 03:36 PM

The proper names are Churro, Chimichanga, and Oyster Cracker respectively, right?

Not Afraid · 10-18-2005, 03:48 PM

No! Those were the name 2 pair ago!

Bah, be careful what you wish for. I asked Alex to post the answers on the Pad, and - though he said he wasn't going to - he did. Now I see the full extent of how unbelievably crappy we did. Some benchmark!!! Frelling 18th. Bah.

I'm sorry if that sounds like sour grapes, but that is such a bad ranking for us - - our first time out of the top ten ... and now that we are supposed to be exemplary Masters setting some sort of benchmark, I feel awful having set such a poor example of non-excellence. Thank goodness the Happy Haunts and themouse.com provided good benchmarks, or the entire Masters system would have to be called into question. Heheh.

So many stupid mistakes on our part. OMG, am I ever rusty after missing three games and not playing for a year and a half. Maybe I should stop having so much fun (I enjoyed Sunday's event more than I had enjoyed many a mouseadventure), but I'm not willing to give up pleasure for points. Bah.

Since "Fraid Not has a undeniably good heart, I am posting this here:

Quote:

Quest A - The Davy Crockett Test. For this one, the flags you had to put in order were representations of the flags along the Mark Twain dock in Frontierland. Once put in order, if you read every other letter it said "Take Three Shots." This would allow you three shots at each target in the Shooting Gallery rather than two.

The other option for us seemed to be "Take Three Shoes" so I asked Jennifer for her shoes. Luckily, she knew I was being silly and didn't ding me (I did correct myself).

So, did the shots count for points? Like Sheila said, I got 100%!

Tells you what kind of men I play with when I get to be the one shooting.
