clues...

just to give you guys some sort of scale for this hunt:

i am posting this at just shy of 1 a.m. and jason has been at my house since noon, when we began printing, cutting, stuffing, and organizing clues, only breaking for a couple hours to go to zoe houle's softball game and eat. so total work we've done has been in the range of about 7-8 hours.

starting at my the end of my bed we had clues go down my hall, into my man cave, and every which way. after stuffing them, we lined them up and they ran all the way from one end of the downstairs hall to the other.

i personally stuffed over 100 clues. jason stuffed a good number as well.

we stress again that all participants must be signed up by this friday (the 21st) by noon to compete. we will post the teams and final entrance fee by midnight that same day. please read the rules and check the sign up. also remember the start time is 10:00 a.m. at kiwanis park.

im signing up here. i dont give a shit if this is the place to sign up so here it is. plus, i already talked to tay so this is really pointless.

Goodness that's a lot of clues. How long is this thing going to take?

Jason said...

try reading the post.

Max, this hunt will take a while; I fully expect it to go past 3:30 or 4:00 or whenever you have to leave. This brings up another point:

If anyone who is signed up does have ANY obligations for later in the day, try to get out of them. If you absolutely cannot, please tell us so that we can take that into consideration when we're making teams. We don't want another Hufflepuff.

If you're wondering, we've told some people that we have between 20 and 50 clues in the hunt, and if you're adept at mathematics you can narrow it down even further.

Additionally, we told Mattson some numbers like 36 and 42, although these aren't official numbers by any means.

I just have to tel you guys unless these clues are radically shorter than the previous ones (and from your description of "greater physical and mental skill" it doesn't sound like they are) this is just going to be way too long.

my lord. we are going to die of starvation and dehydration before it's over.

btw, I might as well speak for john, if he hasn't already talked to either of you, but he's not asking for work off. he is just playing to see if he gets that day off or not. He's also gone until saturday too, so i don't know about the whole sign up deal.

Hey houle I got your facebook friend request and kind of screwed it up.

I intended to have us meet while plotting to assasinate Walter Mondale from 1983 to 1984.

And perhaps you guys should plan for an hour long dinner break/rest period at 4 or 5 or something.
