The End-Of-Season Party :: The Aftermath
Well, I’m home. Finally. It’s been a fun weekend
The party’s over, obviously. Some highlights include:
- Getting horribly lost around London for about 2 hours (…I was navigating. Shut up.) until we just decided to dump the car on some random street and head for the nearest station.
- Me arriving late. Wait, this is supposed to be highlights? Uh.. Moving on then!
- Puzzles. Hooray! There were four puzzles hung up on the wall - a maze, in which you had to say which points you pass through [red], a combination (1491625) in which you needed to find the next two numbers [red], a riddle that is transcribed below [yellow], and a phobia match-up thing.
If you eat me, you will die.
It is greater than God, yet more evil than the Devil.
The rich need it, the poor have it,
What is it?
- Ceretin. Yep, there was ceretin on the tables! Hoorah! Really helped me solve the above riddle - I was having a total mental block. Blah.
- The Cube on display. Or, actually, a replica. The real Cube is, of course, safe in Perplex City again. T’was still great though, truly an item to behold.
- Rand0m’s prize money of 2 million lecks on display! A few players might have stolen a few lecks, but still… >.>; *stuffs something deeper into his pocket*
- The friendliness of everyone. Every time I go to a meet of ex-Cube-Hunters, I’m amazed by how awesomely nice they are!
- Someone was looking at the puzzles with me, and asked who I was. I said “Mindez”, and she went all “Oh my God I know you! I could almost faint! O_O You’re a legend!”, which.. made me feel very embarrassed, but.. wow, I’m well known! This is probably in response to my card solve guide, in which I’ve posted hints for every season 1 puzzle card..
Well, it’s been great fun. Except the whole “I almost lost a leitmark” thing. That was just annoying.
I’m going to go glue my leitmarks to my jacket now.. And yes, I’m being serious.
*walks off looking for some glue in which the head HASN’T stuck hopelessly to the cap*
