A crueler crew, that we knew
Like vultures swarmed in the dark
Is at Como? Only we know
At least know it's in a park

A Crueler Crew we never knew
Than those who "lurked" in the dark.
For as we worked hard to figure the
clues, those bastards followed us to the park.
We were all over the map and didn't know it was
Como till the clue on the eleventh night.
But for the amount of "hunters" to multiply by
by ten fold on clue #12, is so very far from right.

Remember too though that people were digging in lots of parks at different times of the day. The night of the last clue all those people were now in the same place at the same time. I would guess most of those people had been out before at one time or another. Even if they weren't digging, they might have been out looking, trying to decide on a place that was worth their energy. I don't think there's really that many people who just show up at the last minute. And even if they did, well I guess putting in time before the last night doesn't really count for anything at that point.

AW- I guarentee that there were a lot of people Tuesday and Wednsday that only went out for one night. They came out at the last minute and it was sort of dissapointing, at least for me. I understand that those people may catch the fever and hunt the entire time next year, but it is still hard to swallow.

I enjoyed this past hunt because it went late. But to me, I was dissapointed that there was little to no chance to really get to the correct park before clue 11, and almost NO chance to actually find the medallion before 11 and almost no chacne to find it before 12.

    No, you weren't sleeping.

    We came here on Feb 8th last year. The main 2003 thread was started on Feb 10th and the invite thread on March 18th.

    Artemis, it was great and bad. Great because I got to see her, spend more time with her, hold her, kiss her, hug her, etc. But it sucks big time having to leave her behind. Leaving the woman of your dreams sucks enough, then having to drive 5 hours makes it even worse. But I still gladly go.

    Ares, no, that's you. Unless we can find someone for Timmers....

    No. I believe the technical term is "He's in love"

    in love. whipped. same difference.

    Wicked Nick

    Nah man.. Whipped isnt the same thing as being in love... Whipped, is where she's got you under her total control, and can get you to do anything... it doesnt really mean that you love her...

    You know like, when your sitting there with your homies, playing smackdown4, or whatevever game you have... and then she comes in and says "Lets go get something to eat" and your like "I dont really feel like leaving, I'll hang here.. but pick me up some tacos, aight??"... and then she marches over, and stands in the way of the TV, and gives you an evil staredown, and maybe even shuts off the TV/PS2, and says "NOW!", so then you jump up and leave with her...

    which usually causes your boys to make whip sounds - "WHHHHPPPIISH!!!!! damn Ninja! she's got your ass whipped!!"

    and then he flips you off, and leaves with her.

    Like I said.. being whipped doesnt really mean he loves her.
