Ok, I played this not 2 weeks ago at Hide and Seek fest and despite also being very easily recognised and thus taken out very early on it was FUN FUN FUN. Play!
Dear Players,
Sorry I can't make it, kids- I'm excited to hear the write up.
Love,
Inky
Dear Inky,
I am skeptical of your claim of absence, purely because I know I was tempted to make similar ones for entirely strategic reasons. But whether you are there or not I hope you will enjoy any writing up that occurs. (Since there doesn't appear to be a task for the event, we may just have to tell you about it here on the event page.)
Love,
A player
JJason, if you kept it, can you post a final score tally? (Did you tally up points for booty or not?)
Also, thanks for running a great event.
I don't believe booty was ever counted - but I'll second the thanks. And the request for all the information that was known about results.
So sorry I RSVPd but didn't show. I had no team to speak of. :(
I know admitting I plan to go makes it more likely that I'll be killed if spotted... but it also gives me an excuse for commenting here so people who tend to skim over the events section (like me, often) will know about this one.
