Album: 03-13 Go Game

     Album:2004:03-13 Go Game

So there's this funky thing called "The Go Game" that some folks here run.
It's nifty and cool, and I'd have a hard time explaining it so I'll let their marketing droids do it:

The Go Game is an all-out urban adventure game, a technology-fueled, reality-based experience that encourages hard play and a keen eye for the weird, the beautiful, or the faintly out-of-the-ordinary. Through clues downloaded to a wireless device and hints planted in unlikely places, you'll be guided through a city you only think you're familiar with.

There, does that help?

I didn't think so.

Anyways, I created a team called "Team Player" and we came in second. As it turns out, we got two questions that the first place team didn't get that were flawed and were each enough points for us to lose first. If that wasn't enough, there were some extremely high point questions that we never got, for reasons that are unclear to me. In other words, the game was far from balanced. In the end, we rocked on the judgeable questions, and we cranked out 92% on the non-judgeable questions that weren't broken.

Because of all this, I think I'm going to claim moral victory for our team.

Here's some of our photos from the game. We took some video footage as well, so someday I'll put up the video here.

Team Player
Fearless Captain Dave, Mitch, Jeff, Erik, Henry, Jeremy and Heide in front (Bodhi not pictured) ( comments) 		Our first quest
is to deface public property. What are the ethics of this game exactly?? [not judged] ( comments) 		Next, "do something daring."
We figure that a Bush/Cheney demonstration on Haight is fairly daring, unfortunately the signs are unreadable on the photo. [58/120 points] ( comments) 		"Find someone with a special talent"
In this case, our acrobat Jeff gets us mega points. [120/120] ( comments)
"5 photos: Show the .. a medicine or drug"
Instead of a stupid "I got drunk and got sick" Team Player demonstrates what happens when a Neanderthal (Mitch) takes some "Smart Water" (though first he has trouble opening the bottle) [120/120] ( comments) 		Finally the bottle is open
( comments) 		And our hero starts ..coming sophisticated
(and literate) ( comments) 		Eventually, he becomes
the buddha ( comments)
[22/120]
And then he reaches
true enlightenment. (and a perfect judges score for our team :) ( comments) 		"Find a person and demonstrate
a transformation" ( comments) 		We bombed on this one.
( comments) 		Our other idea was
to not restrict ourselves to people. ( comments)
I'm not sure it's much better.
( comments) 		"Show a new way to panhandle"
Our piece-de-triomphe, titled "The Jig Is Up," another perfect score [Movie, 3.2M] (no sound - pretend an Irish jig is playing) [100/120] [Video, 3.1M] ( comments)
