Man, reading back, I feel like the amount of vitriolic hatred in this thread is disproportionate to the topic. Spittle's flying over eggs.
In other news, I have discovered that dried watermelon is absolutely disgusting.
actually it depends on who dried it. If it's done in your home dehydrator it isn't bad. If it's something you bought then yes it is totally disgusting. Probably because of the preservatives they put in it.
Soth dried it in a personal dehydrator, after several of us said it was a bad idea.
@Dunn: Yeah, I doubt it was done with an intentional "screw Targossas" decision with the admin loling etc. We were just making the best of what we had to work with, and it was fun. I never expected Targossas' players to have the highest total, but it is really disappointing that there was not even the slightest acknowledgement or anything, heh.
I mean, it is not a huge deal, but when activity is low and we pull together and do well in something only to get ignored, it just... well, sucks.
(Targossas scored 1239, Dunn. Add up the points in the original post. I mean, I still do not want like, Occultists to lose their prize or anything, but you know what I mean.)
Ashtan scored 1594. I don't see why you consider your City's total score relevant to a competition regarding Houses. Yes, Targossas as a whole might have had more points than the Occultist House, but like you said in your original post, that wouldn't have been all in one House, so even if Targossas had Houses you would have only gotten less recognition, because you wouldn't have had anything to complain about.

I tried to make it myself. Wasted half a watermelon. Someone on the internet was like, you should salt it and put paprika on it, it'll be delicious!
That didn't go well at all.
Yea next time just do it with nothing but your dehydrator. That was a bad idea with the paprika probably soaked it right in. I'd avoid the salt to for the same reason you don't want over salty watermelon.
As an aside, I like these org v. org competitions a lot, and wish there were more of them. Just egghunts, bandersnatch hunts and foozles provide a lot of fun competition between the orgs, and tacking on small prizes like additional rooms can make things a lot of fun (at least until Ashtan has House estates the size of Cyrene).
I've actually always found Silas' and Sothantos' married-couple-arguing endearing.
I do think it would have been nice for Tharos to throw -some- kind of bone, but things happen and it's over now, I guess.
Also yes on more org vs. org world games. Especially foozles. I was very sad to see the lack of a foozle.
And I love too Be still, my indelible friend That love soon might end You are unbreaking And be known in its aching Though quaking Shown in this shaking Though crazy Lately of my wasteland, baby That's just wasteland, baby
I think the system should check for affiliations when registering characters for events like this so rogues can't skew the odds. In other words if you don't have a house in your stat you don't count for house v house.

It was not meant to turn into a flame fest, some people are just weirdly hostile like that. I made the thread because I was frustrated. Probably should have gone in rants.
Goddamn it, Targossas doesn't need no goddamn Houses. We are a nation built on the principles of all that is pure, just and motherfoozling glorious.
GODDAMN GLORIOUS.
We do not participate in egghunts not because we are unable to, as some people would have you believe, but because OUR TIME IS TOO GODDAMNED IMPORTANT. Were Targossas to go on an egghunt, every woman with 2,000 rooms would be forced into horrific pregnancy RP and every egg would be goddamn fertilized and hatch into a plethora of celestial avians.
We don't need Houses because a) we don't give a damn, b) we don't give a damn, and c) we don't have any damns to give even if we wanted to.

Well, this thread has certainly devolved! I'm going to close it before we all drown in the bitter. There will be an announce post of the events at the end of the weekend's festivities with the results of the games, which I was planning to include mention of Targossas' efforts in the egghunt.
To all of the Targossian participants: Good work, enjoy the thousands of gold in prizes and the knowledge you did a bang-up job - you'll have a chance to be officially competitors in the City vs. City event in a few hours!
