Brandt and Mark showed up at the same time and we played a game of No Thanks! I thought that by sitting to Brandt's left I might have more of an advantage. Boy, was I wrong! I came in dead last and need to not push my luck so much...

Brent arrived and we played a game of Boomtown. I must admit that I picked this because I thought that I had a knack at winning this game and was looking to boost my totals. I was wrong. I was doing fairly well, but I made a few goof ball choices late in the game. Brent really cashed in.

Zeb called us from Taco Bell and told us that both he and tacos would be there soon, so we sat down to play a quick game of Pirate's Dice. Brent really got tossed around at first, but then he held strong and the rest of us took some hits. Then Brent went out, followed by me. I didn't see as Brandt and Mark went head-to-head (tacos). But Brandt won it. Maybe Brandt or Mark would care to detail how that went down...

With everyone here, we began the main event. A single-map, four-flag, five-player game of Robo Rally. Pushing, shooting, crushing... we had it all! It was a great game. Brent and I both made runs at the final flag and it was pretty dang close the first time.

Brent and Brandt left and we that remained played a game of Chez Geek. Mark, the Tech Support specialist, was master of the nookie and had tons of income but nothing to spend it on. I, the Research Subject, had tons of friends over but not a whole lot of anything else. Zeb, the Web Designer, had a nice mix of everything and shot past his Slack Goal pretty easily. Mark and I just aren't slacker enough.

Stiggins & I were both thinking we were going to win... but he did :) j/k we made some real good guesses and he ended up with a number I couldn't compete against, ending him as the winner with 2 die left... At least I wore him down some.

Stiggins needs to be taken down in Pirate's Dice and No Thanks!... and don't forget Gang of Four. If he ever gets on top of the leader board that's all we'll be playing.

What a poor effort at Robo Rally on my part. If Mark hadn't insisted on pushing me around and making me shut down I'd have still been in the runnings. That board was killer trying to cross the middle conveyor belts. Even though I lost as badly as I did, it was still pretty fun. I liked one board with all those people. Brutal.
