I think this one interprets to "The curse of MA..." but I am not sure.

Yes, imagine the power to make it hot in the desert. Mind blowing.

We're back. We hurt.

I'm sure the whole thing will be rehashed over the next week, so I'll give the quick hits:

I'll be honest, the whole Paradise Pier Ballroom thing was an unwelcome start to the day. I was waiting for the time share spiel. I know it's totally unavoidable, and it certainly has its advantages (you mean we can hear ALL of the instructions?). But it just loses some charm.

That being said, this game was fun. Fun fun fun. Good mix of puzzles, lots of stuff to keep you moving and looking around. Hard stuff, easy stuff. Fun.

Up until 9PM last night, I was honestly feeling very unmotivated for MA. The Masters rust was piling up, and we didn't have shirts.

That's right, 9PM last night, we didn't even have a solid idea for a shirt.

But by some miracle, we came up with an idea, went out to buy shirts, and did the work after 9. That got us pumped and by the end I was definitely feeling in MA form.

How'd we do? I'll go with respectably. The Brothers Bear, still not far removed from their competing days, wiped the floor with the rest of us Masters, scoring well enough to have won if they were in competition. But we were in the hunt, a mere quest's worth of points away from placing. And the Denton Affair was hot on our heels, doing well enough to have beaten us if not for some controversial errata.

So once again, MA proves to be a stellar affair. Yay.

If you're buying a round, let's form a team

You're on.

Any preliminary estimate for the fall round?

wendybeth · 04-29-2007, 11:42 PM

I think it's gonna take at least ten shots of Gold to get through it properly.

"If it happens it will be November 4th," was the official word. The "If it happens" caveat was in there because they have yet to work it out with Disney.

Ouchies. I hurt. We walked 6.8 miles.

So much fun. And our team has a new convert too.

My screw up for the day was misreading the time and thinking we only had 15 minutes left when we really had an hour and 15 minutes left.

We had a great time. A little frustration here and there that we just wern't getting it. And we didn't even take a crack a a few quests as we ran out of time.

The Pier overall wasn't that horrible. I liked the trivia at the beginning. Easy fast way to hopefully get extra points. And you could hear/see everything which was nice. It was a little sterile but I don't think there's much to be done about that.

Swanie will of course be obessing for weeks (this is where caller id comes in handy - kidding of course).

So great to hang out a bit with everyone after. And crush CP's bubble when we proved that there really was no Opera House postcard

Did anyone actually ride Soarin?

I did like that the directions were much more straightforward this time. We still didn't get half of it but it wasn't because we were confused trying to figure out what exactly we were supposed to be doing.
