Discordian Memorial Meat Up 2011: WE SURVIVED!

[Nephew Twiddleton]

It was awesome, and, yes, the concentrated hotness drove the temperature up through the roof, causing, at least in Dimo's case, the shedding of clothing.

(Seriously, on Thursday we were in the 60's, by Saturday it was hitting 90.)

The evenings were quite nice though, and the temperatures went back to comfortable.

Also this was hands down the coolest weekend I had in recent memory.

That's way too much spaggotry for one gif!

Monday





Breakfast! Coffee, eggs, & Luna prepared another pound of bacon. We went through so much goddamn bacon this weekend.



We all felt a bit fatigued from a weekend of laughing for pretty much every waking moment. Monday morning on Memorial day, we all felt pretty strung out.

We had to check out at 11, so the order of operations for the day were:

1. Breakfast
2. Group Portraits
3. GTFO


sadly, Eve and Blight had to leave early on Monday so they missed the group pix. I should WOMP them in or something.






What the hell is that?


Sweet Merciful Fuck!!


Ghosts! Pterodactyls! Fear!





AND WE'RE ALL SPAGS HAPPILY EVER AFTER







Please note: I don't know how long imgur hosts these things, so if you want a copy of these images, grab em! Also, apparently a free account can only have 225 images, and this set has 300, so it's possible some may disappear as I continue to upload. I sure hope not!

I have a bunch of pics from the NOT UNDER MY ROOF 4-way match... but didn't have a chance to upload 'em yet.

Torte knocks on bathroom door.  "Can everybody come upstairs?  We have surprises."

Off she goes.  I finish putting away some stuff in the bedroom, and start to walk past the door.

Door opens.

There's Richter...  Soaking wet, wearing nothing but a towel.

"Dude...  When you're done.  I think pants are suggested." 

Go upstairs...  Trip and Torte brought some cool touristy stuff for everybody.  We're ooh'ing, aah'ing, and squabbling over who gets what, when Richter comes upstairs.

Still in the towel.

And whips it off.  For everybody.

Funny moment:

Somebody had just played a card in 1K Blank White Cards which said "Try to unpants richter. If you get his belt unbuckled, it's worth 25 points. If you get it all the way off, it's worth 50 points. If you get his pants off entirely, it's worth 100 points."

at that exact moment, Richter appeared in the doorway wearing a towel.

I said to Mike:  YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO

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?

I learned that it is in a pretty good state! There are still some things that need tweaking.

Like I'm going to add Dimo's "improvised weapon" idea, basically a power attack that's a wild card.

Objects are not going to be destroyed by play... originally I thought it would be cool if you finish the match and you're like "wow, we broke everything in the house"... but in essence, this means that NUMR cards get less useful as the match goes on, which can lead to a very drawn out endgame. So I think that in the next revision (I think I'm up to version 7) you'll be able to use the same TV, chair, table, garbage can more than once per match.

I am also toying with the idea of changing the card text to reflect something that you'd yell at your opponent when playing the card. So instead of having all that rules text, the Attack (Chair) card will say something like "I'm going to grab this freaking chair and knock your ass down! The next time you play a card which lets you move, you stand up instead."

Totally awesome, Guys.  A meatup to beat all meatups.

This frog is CUTE. Also, like half the stuff in your shops, it's priced wrong.




Check out these orbs. So maybe the place WAS haunted?
We didn't see any hauntedness, but THESE PHOTOGRAPHS
