Super happy fun time.

Chad is gathering his Transformers forum to join us for an arcade olympics at Misfitopia. Since Chad is leading the invading enemy, we are mustering teams of 5 players to wage arcade war.

The 10 events are:
bumper karts
chain letters
dolphin olympics
hellbound
mahjongg
pacman
plankton's revenge pinball
tetris
tower blaster
winter bells

Sign up below if you're interested. I guess I have to be the jerk who picks 5 applicants for the team (assuming there are more than 5 aspirants). The olympics tentatively start next week.

[Adam]

I'm more than willing to kick major ass, but I have two questions...

1. Do we get to pick what games we play? Some of those games I really couldn't give a shit about.

2. What kind of time constraints will we be under? I work two jobs, I'm not made of free time ya know.

[malfouka]

the "Dream Team" would consist of:

1. Adam
2. Monogodo
3. Webkittyn
4. Mango
5. either Dave, the Gman, or Severin. (personally my vote is for Severin because he is a gaming genius and you all would be lucky to get an 11 year old on the team--especially considering he is the only one who grew up playing only computer games--none of those pesky joysticks...). true, he wouldn't be stellar in the "word" type games but fuck! this is against Transformers folks....

Looks like a team to me! I agree that Severin should be included, but it would be difficult to leave Dave out. I will leave that decision to someone else (as if it was my decision to make anyway).

[monogodo]

I'll play

[Dave]

The true dream team would be malfouka's top four and then leaving me out in favor of smokingrunner202.

Adam,
1. You don't have to play every game, But will your arcade-induced OCD allow such a thing?
2. The length of the competition will be one week. That should give everyone enough time.

[mango]

I'm in.

Is it play until you get a high score you are happy with, or a one shot deal?

Chad is going to own us in dolphin olympics. I hate that game.

Hell yeah, I have no desire to play pinball or dolphin olympics.

Well I made a deal with Dave, since you guys have Adam then Dolphin Olympics needs to be in so we can at least have a shot of winning one of the games

[WebKittyn]

I'm in, looks fun to me!

[Dave]

You can play as many times as you want.

Scoring:
Like the Olympics, individual players earn medals. Medals are then tallied for each team.

Gold medals are worth 5 points, silver 3, bronze 1.

Since we're scoring individually, it's possible for one team to sweep an event.

we only count the scores of the olympic contestants. for example...
adam scores a first place score, a random misfit scores second, some transformer fan scores in third. adam gets 1st place points and transformer fan gets 2nd place points. Random players don't count.

Unless I perfect "the move." Then, it's just a test of endurance.

[Chad]

Endurance is frequently a form of indecision

[Bacony Goodness]

Put me in coach, I'm ready to play.

I'll be practicing.

Yeah, I'm gonna have to go ahead and say no. Not that I don't trust you, it's just that I don't trust you to help us win. So, I guess, I kind of don't trust you.

[mango]

Do you trust me?

[Bacony Goodness]

Why don't you trust me to win. I can win at games you just keep taking away my highscore adam. I've had like 5 different high scores taken away by you.

[Adam]

Yes, I trust you with my life. That's only because you're on the west coast of course. If we were in the same state, I'd still trust you, but just, like, with my car or my friends kids or something. Not so much my life.

That's the thing, I have to take way more high scores from you before I can have you as a teammate. Do you know how many I've taken from Mango and Monogodo? I'm still working on Blast Billiards though.

I will be arcade champ someday.

I just need to get my groove back. I hate a lot of those arcade games, and I need to get over that.

[Deb]

Adam already has the "pompous ass fuck gold medal contender" attitude going on.

Well done
