Games
Your mother was right, but it’s just our luck you don’t pay much attention to people who want to keep you from harm. Which brings us to why we’re talking right now. Will you get into our van and help us find our lost puppy?
I’m confused.
Sure you are.
Ok, now I’m scared.
Now we’re getting somewhere. But don’t be scared of us. We’re all talk.
There are puzzles, handicaps, and there’s a time constraint. Scoring is based on strategy, creativity and cunning, not knowledge. It’s more Postmodern Pictionary than Trivial Pursuit. You’ll just have to come and see. Some of the games are like a table quiz where your iPhone can’t help you. There are a lot of rules, but you’re not supposed to follow them.
Don’t say you weren’t warned.
I love games! I’m amazing at games! I will kick all your asses and then hand them to you and then kick them again while you’re standing there, mouth agape, holding them! What do I need to do to get in on the games?
First you need to form a team of between three and six victory-hungry, glory-seeking attention whores. The best teams will include both a real stickler for the rules (these people are good at keeping track of the deliberately complicated rules) and a brilliant and shameless cheater who never gets caught (because, duh). You will also need an unrepentant gambler. Trust us.
Do I need to bring a team? My friends say I’m a sore winner/loser, and don’t want to witness what happens to me in the heat of competition.
If, for whatever reason, you don’t have between two and five friends, well, crikey, you must be a real laugh riot, eh? We put teams together on the night, since a lot of people do come on their own or with only one other person for protection. Teams, if you’ve got room, please consider taking on a spare part. He or she could be your key to victory, or could be the powerful solvent that erodes the glue that otherwise holds your team together. Only time or the Berserker Round will tell.
I have been instructed to remind you that we are empowered to perform civil marriages, although such unions are valid only at Chaos Thaoghaire events. But if you do meet the love of your life when your hands touch in the Penance Box, please let us know so that we can take credit for it. We should say that we have been responsible for at least one relationship, and we claim at least partial credit for one Vegas wedding.
