Puddin' Mistletoe reporting in. <checks to see that no one is looking> Hhmmm....no time is too soon to start buttering up Hostess Probstess. Here, ya go, Scrappy.....I expect immunity for this one, or at least not to get hit in the back of my head with a snowball on the way out. |

I'll be Blitzen, the brown nosed reindeer. Just as fast as Rudolph, second in line, but can't stop as quick! Or you could use what the name picker came up with which makes me Lucky Twinkle Toes.

Puddin Mistletoe....you seriously think you're going to get immunity for passing me the what 20 year old fruit cake? Uh huh...your first challenge is going to be completely horrible.
And Welcome Lucky Twinkle Toes.
I almost forgot. You each get to bring ONE Personal item with you. So when you check in.....or after you've read this for the two of you already checked in, you must list your personal item.
SMALL PRINT: Hostess Probstess (that's me) has final yea or nay say on all personal items. Any and all contriband will be confiscated.

You have got to be kiddin' me, ya expect me to go through this with the name "Tinker Tum Tums" following me around.  Don't we get to choose our own names, cause I want "The Terminator" which is what I plan on doing to the opposition here ...... Hasta La Vista Baby. My personal item is a sooper dooper Swiss army knife containing an array of gadgets to long to list, but which will be pressed into service as the game progresses. And a question Hostess Probstess if you can drag yourself away from gnawing that fruit cake long enough to answer ........ are Penguins on the menu this time around? ;D |

What exactly is considered contraband, Ms. Hostess Probstess? I suppose it'd be out of the question to even consider bringing a coffee shop with all the fixin's to include a hot guy server along, because that's what I'd choose this time around.
Johnny Depp? Can I bring him as my personal toy....uhm, I mean item?
Suppose he's on the contraband list too. Pfft! Instead I'm bringing the twin to that fruitcake that's being passed around, only mine is fully intact. (Can it at least be in the shape of Johnny Depp?)

Oh shoot, Poppet!! I forgot to mention I'll be gone from the 20th through probably the 23rd. If you think this is going to interfere or hold up the game, (providing I've lasted that long), lemme know, and I'll withdraw before we start.

........ are Penguins on the menu this time around? As you can see from the first page we are in the NORTH POLE this time not the south. There are no penguins here. But there are reindeer and elves. Including one rather jolly and red suited head elf. So accost them if you dare. Happy Spirit Fingers reporting for duty, armed with a Ouija Board! OK that is hilarious! And creative. What exactly is considered contraband, Ms. Hostess Probstess? I suppose it'd be out of the question to even consider bringing a coffee shop with all the fixin's to include a hot guy server along, because that's what I'd choose this time around. You're kidding right? No coffee shop. Though I think there is a hot chocolate shop somewhere around the vicinity of the toy shop. Follow the short people. Johnny Depp? Can I bring him as my personal toy....uhm, I mean item? Um...no. And you knew better than to ask too. LOL Suppose he's on the contraband list too. Pfft! Instead I'm bringing the twin to that fruitcake that's being passed around, only mine is fully intact. (Can it at least be in the shape of Johnny Depp?) Fruit cake it is! (I have a feeling she's gonna starve) OK folks. I have the first game ready to go. It's a fairly straight forward game to get us all going and get the holiday juices flowing. Anyone else want in before I post the game? And I almost forgot to ask. Do you all want to be placed on teams or would you rather it were an every elf for him/herself? |

No, I wasn't kidding. And you let Moonglum bring chocolate!
No Johnny Depp either! Pfft! And you let Moonglum bring chocolate.
Who says it's for eating. It's shaped like Johnny Depp afterall!

Chipper Floppy-Feet ... yes?  
Or am I too late? Had to go to bed early. I'm on Jury Duty in 2010, and had to check in early this morning. Got to be there 30-45 minutes early to get through the long metal detector line.  Please, someone with a gun would have no problem getting in and shooting up the place ... but us with no such intentions have to wait in line outside in the freezing cold. Give me a break!
Okay, ranting. Hmmm. What to bring with me. At the moment a gun sounds nice. 
How about ... a book.

Cool! I get to bring something??! How about a powered sleigh??!! Okay, yes, it resembles a winterized, fully stocked, and fueled up Winnebago. And it seems to come with maid service too! <Looks around to see if this is going to make it.> Uh. Your frowning? But it's such a good idea! If I can't have the Winnebago, I'll bring the big red elf's back up toy sack for all the stuff I can get out of it. Oh Batty Mistletoe! I mean, Gabrielle on Nutbread. Here's a little something to help keep you grounded in case there are any nasty storms! |

Ok....absolutely not on the winnebego. Your personal item must be able to be carried by hand. And I'm not real sure about the bag I'll have to consult the rules but I'm pretty sure there's a president set somewhere with a giant mom purse that serves the same principle.
Also, I've decided to split you all into teams. Stay tuned for your assigned camp numbers.

I almost forgot. Madam P your vacation time is fine. If you've made it that far we can take a break if we're not done. I hope to have the game over by christmas.
And Kat.....I don't think the big guy would be pleased about you culling his heard so to speak. And this particular reindeer steak will most likely make you high. Which could get you disqualified.

Ooooo. I'm going to see if I can sneak in. And yeah, Scrap, just to mess up the teams, though I lost count of how many are in.
Pole schmole, the cold doesn't scare me. I live in the north and vacation in the south, so you can call me Bi-Polar Betty. By the way, reindeer is the number one selling topping on Domino's pizzas in Iceland. Or is Greenland? Someland. I say that so Kat can get his fix once the the going gets tough; I've got the delivery number here somewhere...
My personal luxury/survival item will be ... oh boy, I'm completely unprepared for this and I might regret my lack of foresight later, but I'm bringing a Mr. T Chia Pet. And grooming scissors, it's a set.

Does your mind always reside in the gutter? "Never underestimate the power of fruitcake" - it's an old Hungarian proverb. Of course, the country is Hungary, so it might not be a very good proverb.
Lola, lemme know if Mr. T's chia hair gets too outta hand for the grooming scissors. Johnny FruitDepp comes with retractable high-powered scissorhands, and for those more difficult cases, a demon barber straight razor.

I'm seeing FruitDepp is going to come in handy. Between the ouija board and the beefcake (disguised as a Macgyver fruitcake, clever), I can see there are serious contestants.
Looking over this in the light of day, I realized the elf names link was two things: a command rather than a suggestion and an actual link. This could be a looooong game. You can call me Sparky Smickleifigus.

Ah maaannn! What if I get it a paint job so it at least looks like a reindeer? All I gotta do is keep scissorshands away - and Kat. Awwww. Darn! Where's the complaint thread?  Is this a top half and bottom half split, or left side and right side? That could be confusing because one side of me would never be in it's right mind, and if the right mind side ended up with Phalon, then neither side would be in it's right mind, but then, well, never mind. Well, yes! Of course. Wait. You weren't talking to me were you. Never mind. Hey! Boys against the girls! I like the game already! |

Give you guys an inch and take six miles. *sigh
Ok so you may have heard I have a black thumb when it comes to computers right now. My presence here might be hit and miss. But I PROMISED you all a holiday survivor game and by elf you're going to get one.
I will be posting the first game today. I am emailing the answers to my mom who has a computer at work. So that she can email the answers when the time limit is up to Phalon so at least you'll know who won. Just in case my computer trouble becomes severe and I end up killing (knock on fake fiber board wood like substance) the neighbor's, aunt's, uncles twice removed across the yard mate's computer too.
Also! Welcome Lola and her fungus...err.....uh...chia pet? As a result of her last minute joining I am going to rearrange and split up the teams again so that we have an equal number. Check the appropriate barracks.
Ok here we go!

Keep up the good work folks. I'll try and be back tomorrow. After this reward challenge is over, look for an elimination challenge!

Alrighty folks! I'm about to post the next challenge but first I wanted to make one announcement.
I've decided in my infinite wisdom, because i am truly wise and gracious and pretty cute too, to eliminate the elimination challenges. This is supposed to be short game done by Christmas so I think that will take too long. Here's the new solution. I will keep posting games and the team with the most wins under their belts by December 25th will be this sessions winners.
Objections? See the complaint thread.
