Hair-tearing-out-ness - there's a PM how very, very, very much likes Etta.

Aornis and memories - how would we know whether we escaped with our memories intact?

And I demand more photos and stuff too.

Anyone see this? Seems to be from June herself...

Don't quite get the posting and am not sure why it was there, and I think most of us realised straight away that she wasn't real! But still. interesting.

Haven't heard anything yet about the competition itself - and didn't get an email.

How did you find that? Very strange.

I haven't heard anything about the competition either.

I'm already subscribed to the group! I did have my camera with me, but our group was ridiculously proactive - we managed to answer six phones, received seven digits, got further clues about the digits' meaning, went to the mobile library and the signing, whilst I was the one who phoned Thursday and held the radio. In the excitement, I didn't manage to take a single photo, which is a bit rubbish. I wish I'd taken details of the professional guy who was in the pub at the end, as he said he was taking photos for a college course (I think) and seemed to be doing a sterling job.

Pity - but absolutely understandable. Very Happy

What was it like answering the phones?

And by the way, what were your scribblers all about? Missing the great scribble-de-doo-fight-reading is probably what I regret most of all. I can post mine tonight (the text is safely stored on my hard drive at home) - it was about a dragon witnessing an ecological catastrophe.

My lines were:

'Hang Riverbank and supper too!' I said; and
People began running about in all directions.

I decided to write a little Wodehouse-esque thing about a young lord of the manor being left in the care of a stuffy older type whilst his parents were away. It included the word 'popinjay' which pleased me greatly, though a forced pun about Dickens was probably a mistake. I won't post the whole thing through fear of embarassment (though I read most of it on the day itself).

Answering the phones was dead good fun; they gave a brief description of themselves and you had to guess who they were - restoring their memory - before they'd give you the clues for the digits. One of my teammates answered a phone with 'Footnoterphone?' only to be greeted with a commanding voice saying 'I WILL CONQUER YOU!' which made him visibly jump!

That must have been Alexander the Great ...

"Hang Riverbank and supper too" sounds indeed quite Wodehousian. More dynamic than mine, anyway. I certainly didn't have the nerve to do elaborate puns and allusions ...

I'm trying to see if I can get a post game look at this, with information about how/what/why they did this. But only having fictional email addresses it may be difficult. Anyone got a real one?

Well, mine won't help you since I couldn't participate in all the "real" parts of the game ... But here comes my tiebreaker, as promised (*runs away in major embarrassment* Embarassed
