What the hell is with all the activities planned? Are there chaperones too? I think there are chaperones.

valley_parade · « **Reply #402 on:** 24 Jan 2008, 07:52 »

A) stuff to do when we're not drinkin'

B) Apparently we're not sleeping at all during the weekend

calenlass · « **Reply #403 on:** 24 Jan 2008, 07:54 »

I am chaperons muthafucka.

Tyler · « **Reply #404 on:** 24 Jan 2008, 07:56 »

Bitch please.

Ain't nobody can responsibly watch over and plan the events of mah weekend.

I think Tyler needs someone to hold his hand when he crosses the street. Don't forget the buddy system!

So far all we have planned is drinking, mock zombie battle, drinking, zoo, fancy drinking, and karaoke whilst getting some people drunk enough to sing. I think this plus sleep and probably shopping will fill up three days nicely. Oh, and loud music/noise making.

So I will be getting a $1600 refund check from my college for overpaying this semester. I should probably use it to pay off some student loan interest, but I think I might put it toward a passport and train ticket and gas money and hostel stay and food. Sound good?

Liz you're coming and you have NO say in it whatsoever.

Went here during my last visit in Tdot. Easily the city's best brew pub that I've been to (not saying much) but not cheap. Wear your black turtle neck and order the Gulden Drak if you go.

I went through the thread and made an attendees list on the Quiki. If you feel you are in the wrong category, go ahead and fix it or ask someone else to.

Also I have never travelled by myself before, let alone on a plane or out of the country or having to use multiple forms of transport! Argh! I would probably get lost at Sydney airport and nobody would ever see me again.

Wear childish clothing and tell the airport people that you are an unescorted minor.

Use SPF 60, like I do. When I don't use it, I get burnt. When I do, I get slightly less pale. Good stuff.

Boro_Bandito · « **Reply #424 on:** 24 Jan 2008, 11:30 »

I'm gonna throw in my vote for wiffleball or pool, but I'm also saying that if these islands are any good there will be outdoor sports activities to be had somewhere right? Not that I'm any good at them but I'll play anyway. Anyway I'm packing a frisbee since there are numerous parks in places. Man, its good to think about warm weather when outside could easily work as a flash freezer.

valley_parade · « **Reply #425 on:** 24 Jan 2008, 11:31 »

Do you play Ultimate, Phil?

Ultimate Frisbee! So fun!

Yes it is. But you have to actually be at a game, like baseball enough to care, and like at least one of the teams. But I like baseball and I like watching games, so...yeah.

valley_parade · « **Reply #427 on:** 24 Jan 2008, 11:35 »

I have not played Ultimate in forevers!

Boro_Bandito · « **Reply #428 on:** 24 Jan 2008, 11:37 »

Not regularly, but I know the rules and was thinking about joining the team on campus, don't know how that will go with my schedule. I was thinking just along the lines of tossingit back and forth with actually little competition, or on the off chance that they have frisbee golf somewhere within range I could pack a few of those too. But yeah, I'll definitely play Ultimate if there's enough people interested at the time.

Quote from: Ultimate Players Association

Ultimate in Ten Simple Rules
Steve Courlang and Neal Dambra
Copyright (c) Ultimate Players Association, 1993

1. The Field -- A rectangular shape with endzones at each end. A regulation field is 70 yards by 40 yards, with endzones 25 yards deep.
2. Initiate Play -- Each point begins with both teams lining up on the front of their respective endzone line. The defense throws ("pulls") the disc to the offense. A regulation game has seven players per team.
3. Scoring -- Each time the offense completes a pass in the defense's endzone, the offense scores a point. Play is initiated after each score.
4. Movement of the Disc -- The disc may be advanced in any direction by completing a pass to a teammate. Players may not run with the disc. The person with the disc ("thrower") has ten seconds to throw the disc. The defender guarding the thrower ("marker") counts out the stall count.
5. Change of possession -- When a pass in not completed (e.g. out of bounds, drop, block, interception), the defense immediately takes possession of the disc and becomes the offense.
6. Substitutions -- Players not in the game may replace players in the game after a score and during an injury timeout.
7. Non-contact -- No physical contact is allowed between players. Picks and screens are also prohibited. A foul occurs when contact is made.
8. Fouls -- When a player initiates contact on another player a foul occurs. When a foul disrupts possession, the play resumes as if the possession was retained. If the player committing the foul disagrees with the foul call, the play is redone.
9. Self-Refereeing -- Players are responsible for their own foul and line calls. Players resolve their own disputes.
10. Spirit of the Game -- Ultimate stresses sportsmanship and fair play. Competitive play is encouraged, but never at the expense of respect between players, adherence to the rules, and the basic joy of play.

Now we know the rules, we can play! Yay!

(Note: While I may not be gung-ho competitive, I like competition. This can be a good or bad thing.)

(And here is another game. Thank you random quiki page.)

onewheelwizzard · « **Reply #430 on:** 24 Jan 2008, 12:47 »

I got to play laptag for the first time relatively recently. It's pretty awesome for precisely the purpose listed on the Quiki.

0bsessions · « **Reply #431 on:** 24 Jan 2008, 12:58 »

Well, sounds less risky than Crotchketball.

Something Witty · « **Reply #432 on:** 24 Jan 2008, 13:15 »

I'd rather play frisbee golf than ultimate frisbee, personally, but only because I'm prone to flying tackles.

Dissy · « **Reply #433 on:** 24 Jan 2008, 13:27 »

There need to be a game of Dodgeball. This is needed to differentiate the awkwardly gay from possibly Canadian.

Liz · « **Reply #434 on:** 24 Jan 2008, 13:58 »

But we already know who's Canadian!

I vote Ultimate Frisbee! I rock so hard at that game.

calenlass · « **Reply #435 on:** 24 Jan 2008, 18:34 »

Guys there will be an inevitable discrepancy between those who are good at Ultimate and those who are good at Frisbee Golf. I know this for a fact.

mooface · « **Reply #436 on:** 25 Jan 2008, 05:16 »

just to let you all know in advance, i will not be participating in any of these "sports games". i will only end up hurting myself.

this may or may not have to do with the fact that i am making it my mission to be wearing heels at least 70% of the time that i am in canada.

It's a non-contact sport! Just ask that one girl I may have given a concussion to.

Lines · « **Reply #438 on:** 25 Jan 2008, 06:19 »

In Ultimate Frisbee, there isn't supposed to be any physical contact, unless you specify it's Tackle Ultimate. Unless I'm confusing it with that game, whatever it's called, where everyone tries to tackle whoever is holding the ball/frisbee. But that's fun too.

Tyler · « **Reply #439 on:** 25 Jan 2008, 06:29 »

There will be tackling. Oh, there certainly will.

Lines · « **Reply #440 on:** 25 Jan 2008, 06:38 »

I will be tackling anyone who I won't break. Like, I wouldn't tackle MaiAda, because that wouldn't be very nice. But oh yes, there will be tackling.

0bsessions · « **Reply #441 on:** 25 Jan 2008, 06:42 »

Tackle Ultimate Frisbee is more fun.

On that note, I call Shane for my team. Seriously, none of you other fuckers can have him, he's on my team.

i haven't played ultimate frisbee in basically forever, to the point where i'm not sure if i'd even know how to throw one anymore. i'm really good at tackling people though, like, sometimes i do it even if i'm not actually playing a sport.
can i still participate?
