Discordian Memorial Meat Up 2011: WE SURVIVED!

[Cramulus]

Memorial Day 2011. 13 spags assemble in a haunted house in Connecticut. Guests arrive from as far as Florida, the Netherlands, New York, and all over New England. We rented out this house for two days.



Here's a few of the highlights:

Here's Triple Zero, trying to get the full American experience. So he's sitting on the front porch, whittling and chanting "I am an American and I have rights!".

On Sunday, there was a NOT UNDER MY ROOF match between Cainad and Dimo. They had to settle this important question: Who is the better black vampire? Blade or Blackula?

highlights:

Dimo thinks the best blackula is blackula
Cainad thinks the best blackula is blade



WHAT? IT'S ON LIKE DONKEY KONG




GET OVER HERE, BITCH PIE




CAINAD IS NOT GONNA TAKE THAT TRASH, HE'S GONNA THROW IT




THAT LAYS DIMO OUT ON THE FLOOR, WHERE HE WRITHES AROUND INEFFECTIVELY AND THEORETICALLY COVERED IN GARBAGE

THEN, HE GRABS A CHAIR AND COMES AT CAINAD WITH A VENGEANCE



CAINAD BLOCKS DIMO'S ATTACK WITH ONE OF THE MANY KNOBS WHICH COMPRISE CAINAD'S BODY



DIMO SLIDES A CHAIR INTO CAINAD'S CROTCH, PINNING HIM IN PLACE



THEN, DIMO GRABS A BROOM AND TIDIES UP



AS CAINAD STRUGGLES TO MAINTAIN CONSCIOUSNESS, HE IS PELTED WITH CRAP FROM THE FRIDGE. HE ESCAPES THE HOUSE WITH HIS LIFE AND LOSES.

THE MATCH IS SETTLED

BLACKULA IS THE BETTER BLACK VAMPIRE.

DIMO VERSUS RICHTER

WHO HAS THE COOLER HAT?




MY HAT HAS MY BAND'S LOGO ON IT, YOUR HAT JUST COVERS UP SOME SHITTY HEAD



SO GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE



DIMO FOCUSES, PREPARING HIMSELF FOR FIVE KNUCKLES OF RICHTER'S SPINE SHATTERING FURY



FOR A SECOND, DIMO THINKS HE'S ABOUT TO THROW RICHTER DOWN THE STAIRS



IS THIS THE END FOR RICHTER??????



EPIC REVERSAL!



DIMO IS LAYED OUT ON THE RAILS, ABOUT TO BE THROWN OFF THE PROPERTY



CALMING HIMSELF, HE TAPS INTO HIS INNER RESERVE



HE CRACKS RICHTER WITH A CHAIR

AND THEN...



DIMO KICKS RICHTER'S ASS UP AND DOWN THE STAIRS




BEATEN AND BRUISED, RICHTER GETS KNOCKED OFF THE PORCH



VICTORY FOR DIMO

FUCK YEAH

I should have played a game, it was happening around me, extremely awesome, but there was just sooooo much going on ALL THE TIME I didn't get around to it.
maybe I can play it this week with Dimo, I'll probably see him and he got your playtesting printout cards.

I forgot to ask, with others playing it all the time, did you learn a lot? Like things or rules to tweak? Or is the game pretty much finished / in its optimal tweaked state right now?



This was probably one of the greatest weekends ever

000GF is sleeping at Suu's couch right now, I'm breathing her airco (it's not-very-funny-wet+hot, in here) and my wrist hurts from practicing stick fighting with Richter (I managed to knock the stick out of his hands, so I was doin it right) and typing is making it kinda moar hurty ... oops

[Triple Zero]

by "a game" I mean NUMR, cause we did set up a game of 1000 Blank White Cards, which was HILARIOUS as well.

[Jasper]

  Cannot begin to cover how cool this is.

[Cuddlefish]

Ho-lee hell! I think that last pic is the happiest I've ever been in a photograph.

I think, after playing a few two player and multi-player matches, that the game is pretty tight. I think there could be one or two new cards added for flavor/efficiency, but very little needs changing.

If Cram doen't mind, I'd like to do a little tweaking, and add some "character specific" cards (like unique special moves based on IRL spags). It's my new favorite game, and I think a WWF style "soap opera" setting and events, backstories and rivalries, and other cheap plot devices could really help this game take off on a larger scale. I mean, think "Larp" but with "NUMR"  

[Adios]

Looks like you guys had a blast.

Doesn't even start to cover it.  Awesome time.

NUMR was a kick, and trying a four-player game was hysterical.  (I set Richter up, and Dimo knocked 'im down, it goes a LOT faster.)

Richter was a god of the grill, and anytime the Squids offer to make pasta and from-scratch sauce, LET THEM.

Things we're going to remember (but might wish we didn't):

1000 Blank Cards...  Who the heck played the card on Cram giving him a ton of points if he could poomp on command?  And I'm thinking that Richter, who had to verify said poomp, should have been awarded sympathy points.
