Come on then ryandrew - spill the beans! Who are you going to accost?

I may be able to get the Elbow boys to sport a leitmark or two - I'm meeting up with them next week, so shouldn't be a problem. But can anybody beat a Mercury-nominated band? Do they rank above or below ex-BB contestants?

[ryandrew]

Depends on how high you rank transexuals.

[European Chris]

Depends on the BB contestant.

[ryandrew]

Ohhh, how about someone in Corrie?

[European Chris]

We're mianly British. It means anyone who has at least appeared in a local newspaper.

just to update, due to a prize-giving run in irc yesterday, i figured i might as well make another one and have an *actual* good prize for this too. so get mugging elbow and random corrie actors in the streets and post pictures!

rach =)

I wear a yellow one, because it's the most "bloody obvious" one with my black trenchcoat. Three or four people have asked what it is since I started, so I've made my mind up to carry a small stack of duplicate red and orange cards around and give them to people. Maybe I should put a sticker on each one with my email address, and see if I get any new players going. The only leitmarks I've seen on other people are people I've been playing with, so they don't really count.

Some of my colleagues saw the TSOL and red ones on the lanyard for my security pass and asked about them. I tried to explain...

All i said was that i was looking for a cube, i was perfectly happy to leave it at that but they had to keep asking questions. And laughing at me. Couple of weeks later i was working on Witch Script at lunchtime and got a lot of weird looks. The dialogue was along the lines of:

"What are you doing, g?"
"Working on a puzzle" (trying to ignore them because i'd just cracked an important bit)
"Why?"
"Err... well, you solve the puzzles, get the points and clues to... the location of the... Receda... cube..."
"Not this cube business again... <sigh>"

Anyone else encountered any anti-PXC sentiment?

I'm not really bothered, I love the game and the cards but it just bugs me when people make fun of something I (and 22000 more besides!) love.

I'be not really encountered anything anti-PXC per se, just more of an "I'm gonna run away from the scary man with pins and cards" type deal.

[idlemichael]

I get both ends of the spectrum, unfortunately. A few people I know have even begun playing after I so eruditely explained what it's about. Oddly enough, they're mainly teachers... Most people though, especially those at work, just look bemused when I pull out a card or two to work on. Even the prospect of £100000 makes their eyes glaze over. Still, their loss..!

the only anti-pxc sentiment i get is my little sister telling me how much of a geek i am when i get excited over new cards ;) she's vaguely interested herself though in an apathetic kinda way, so it's affectionate at least.

everyone else i've mentioned it too just says it seems like too much hard work to be solving maths problems for fun.

but anyway, reminder, the pin a leitmark on a celebrity competition is still open ;) we can make args trendy! or not! (choose your celeb wisely)

rach =)

[ryandrew]

I'm currently aiming for either a big brother or a corrie "celeb".

[mac_monkey]

My prediction for the near future is that someone from Unfiction will be on BB this year....

[Jotacon]

My uncle does celebrity interviews. I wonder if he could pin a leitmark on a celeb for me Would that count as a win for me?
