Any news on Torgame 2007?

thanks,

Did CSI:NY have to pay your royalties for the episode they ran this week?  Did they at least give you permission to use some of those puzzles for next year’s TorGame?  I’m not sure I want to volunteer to be the guy with the railroad spikes through his eyes, but some of the puzzles this year really made you want to scratch out your own eyes (Parkdale comes to mind) … until you figured it out, of course.

“Where’s your button?!?”

(I still can’t believe that was you!)

“Who wants Timbits?”

You still visit this site every day.  Go on, admit it.  I promise not to tell anyone.

Toronto Underground is in the process of unlocking the Sekrit Clubhouse (http://community.livejournal.com/tor_underground/), so if you want to see, for example, just how frustrated the CD puzzle made us, it’s the place to go.

It’s going to be quiet over there for a while. But the Clubhouse will not be empty. And you may want to keep an eye out for any News from the Underground. Say, around January….

TorGame is in today’s Star, on page A7!  It features, Arvin, Nicole L., Jacqui, and Don, though others make appearances.  Check it out, call your family, etc.

Also available online here.

I am so tired… but on the plus side, something I like to call the ‘WakingCity Diet’ (with the running and eating on the go) has caused me to drop a pound or two.

Thank you to:

• All the designers and gamestaff - even when I cursed you, I was doing it in a loving way
• All the actors, who did an amazing job, sometimes under duress (especially George who didn’t mind me yelling at him)
• All the players - who made this game awesome, especially those who were kind enough to help some of us whose puzzle-solving is not as good as their shouting
• Dennis ‘The Insider’, who was fun to hang out with as well as a good spy

YOU ALL ROCK! GO TEAM!

And now, for a plug - some of you have heard me talking about playing ‘Vampire’ - it might not be everyone’s thing - but for anyone who would like to check out a live action roleplaying game, go to: http://www.noizangel.com/requiem/

Thank you all again for the wackiest two weeks of my life. I mean that in an awesomely wacky way.
