It's all good!


Strangely, I did not expect Tombstone Hold 'Em to be as frenetic and unpredictable as it was. Silly me. I screwed up a beautiful 4-of-a-kind hand (Aces, even), causing ThaJinx to waste one of his Jokers. Still kicking myself over that one. But man, that is one fun game, and I'd like to try playing it again sometime.

The cemetery was slightly kooky, and very prettily laid out. I sat on a bench for a long while before the festivities started, and it amazed me yet again how quiet and peaceful cemeteries can be, even in the middle of Los Angeles.

The Favor portion of the day was fun, hearing everyone Gabba Gabba Hey for Ramone's sake, and seeing a real live sexbot Lucy walk right up into the middle of our group and finish the favor with us.

I got a piece of the Gun - a metal portion of the grip - discolored and smelling of oil (and gunpowder?). I had traveled from the Central part of the country (Chicago), and sort of self-selected as a 'close friend of Lucky's.'

Shad0 and HitsHerMark and I discussed backchannel a week or so before the event about doing something special at the final stop of the Favor. We had a couple ideas, but I suggested doing a series of haikus. Jet lag had me up at 6:30 AM on Saturday, so I sat in my hotel bed and scribbled until Avatrix and imbri woke up, and then bounced my poems off of them. Avatrix immediately came up with a format - begin and end with a general haiku, but have one haiku to represent each of the eight archetypes posed by the ARG.

Counting on fingers spasmodically, we worked 'em all out lickety-split, and then I asked people to help read them when the time came.

So, um, here they are!

Why were you sniffing your piece of the Gun?

Kona and others - we need names on the pics! I recognize many, but there are others known on the forums that I can't pick out - like ouroboros, just for example.

Now that I know how to add notes, I've been working on it. There are just so many folks who's names I do not know (like, the two fellows who ended up winning the tournament - who were those guys???).

If you know them, log into Flickr and add the note to identify them!!

Thanks.

I have no idea who they are! I called them the Hat Boys.

Did anyone save a transcript of the chat room during the final quest? Just curious about discussions that may have occurred (okay, I wanna know read the reactions in the room when Lucy showed up).

Kona, here you go. It's really long - have fun!

Wow, it was long, but fun to read everyone's reactions & comments as the site updated and then PMs arrived at the after-party.
