Balto the Meet: May 28 to June 5, 2013

[DrippingGoofball]

I will make a post that will make you all weep with renewed love for life tomorrow.

Spoiler: HINT

It will be injectable.

[AngryPidgeon]

Also, I'm not sure whether I got consistently crushed at

7 Wonders

because I was terrible at it or because there was such a high concentration of brilliant people at the meet.

On a semi-related note,

Shadow Hunters

has become my new favourite game.

I think I played 4 full (7 player) games of it and won 3 of them. I think I got 2nd in the one I didn't win. ^^

[Maestro]

I was second to CES in the one game I played, it was pretty damn fun

[AngryPidgeon]

Im pretty sure dgbs deepfried cookies were laced with crack. Faraday asked Iec and me if we wanted one then just kind of left a plate of 12 or so for us.

Quite tasty.

[Amrun]

We got hopelessly lost trying to get home from the inner harbor for literally hours in a hilarious concatenation of mistakes. We played mafia literally the whole way.

SORRY MINA AND FARADAY I FORGOT TO SAY GOODBYE TO YOU LAST NIGHT

Especially Faraday only because I was talking to you last night right before we went to sleep and didn't say anything because I'M DUMB

[BBmolla]

So when is the invitational for this happening and who's making it ^^

I cant wait to roll you all as "That guy who got arrested outside", Mafia Kleptomaniac

"That guy who got arrested outside" was my role during the Upick btw.

[Amrun]

My role for the upick was just "unicorn" because I couldn't think of anything so I don't want that.

[AngryPidgeon]

Bleh, I'm finally off my planes, off the bus and back in my comfy office chair at work. I was in 5 weeks of training at work and then 1.5 weeks of vacation for this. Feels weird but good. I forgot how huge my monitor is. And how much I dislike chairs with armrests when I work. I cant properly slouch into them when they have armrests...

Waiting on my friend to gimme my keys (I parked my car in a sketchy place so I wanted someone to have my keys in case) so I can get outta here after I enjoy this pepsi from the breakroom fridge.

tl;dr: See yall at the next one ^^

[TheTrollie]

we are playing absurdly exhausted mafia...CDB cant see. pictures to follow

[ChannelDelibird]

Finally hitting a groove of ultimate scumhunting carnage on the last night of the meet. Some of that even with a sheet over my head.

[kuribo]

arent you guys glad none of you were wearing a Yankees hat

TLDR version: Two Orioles fans in Baltimore caused a Yankees fan severe brain trauma and a fractured skull because of the hat he was wearing

[DrippingGoofball]

You have to be brain damaged to be an Oriole fan, they were just trying to recruit the guy.

You have to be brain damaged to be an Oriole fan, they were just trying to recruit the guy.

but seriously, it's just fucking baseball. that's so disturbing

[Faraday]

it's fine! my fault actually. i forgot to say bye the night before for no apparent reason other than forgetting i was leaving so early but yeah sorry to everyone we didn't get a chance to say bye to.

[Cogito Ergo Sum]

In Boston now, which would seem to imply that I survived Baltimore.

Meet was awesome. I don't feel like going over the same ground that others have, so let me just point out that the flying foxes and basically all of the jellies were a sight to behold.

[kuribo]

One of you tried to lick the poison tree frogs at the aquarium didnt you

[BBmolla]

Guilty.

[Amrun]

CES, iecerint also loved the jellies. Pictorial proof at some point. Did you end up getting the time in ny you wanted?

[Cogito Ergo Sum]

Didn't get a chance at the Boston airport today since my brother had to go somewhere. Research suggests it might not be possible without some benevolence from the airlines though, which I guess isn't that crazy considering it would definitely have been more expensive for me to get tickets Amsterdam -> Baltimore -> Boston -> Baltimore.

(Context: my current itinerary has me flying Boston -> New York -> Baltimore -> New York -> Amsterdam on the return trip. >_>)

[Jake from State Farm]

I will get to amsterdam one day

[Lost Butterfly]

uh, yeah not sure i thanked matt and trollie for hosting. absolutely fantastic job and i had a really good time. well done to them and it was great to re-meet and meet new people. see ya at a future meet probs!

[ChannelDelibird]

I will submit some role ideas when I get back home (and will probably save the gushing I-love-you post for then too but SPOILER: I love you all).

[ActionDan]

I think I'll write a more thoughtful tear-jerker later, but right now, I'm just enjoying the afterglow to a week well spent with new friends.

[Amrun]

So I missed my bus!!!

But it's okay because apparently there is a van that gets there in 2-3 hrs as opposed to the "express route" on Greyhound that takes 12 - and only $20 cheaper. So worth it!

I am sitting in this van so it's all good in the hood.

Thanks so much to Matt and Trollie and when I get home and have time to reflect/post, I will write something more meaningful.

[Jake from State Farm]

that van wasn't down by the river was it?
