Testing new forums.. and posting a challenge to the locals for this evening!

March 6, 2002

Just checking out the posting features of the new forums.. Looks cool so far...

So.. on to the challenge... Tonight around 5:30ish, I will be at the following location:

N45 31.266

W122 41.016

I challenge all the local Geocachers to come and try to beat my score on Ms. Pac-Man

The winner can have my other ticket for tonights Blazer game... The seat is right next to me, and in the 300 level, so it's not like it's a real prize

March 6, 2002

Sorry, But even though I would like to go to the Blazers game, I am not going to drive 800 miles tonight to beat your butt at ANY game !!!

March 6, 2002

I haven't played a Pac Man game for 15 years, so I've no doubt you'd whup my butt. I'm on baby duty this evening and I doubt the wife would appreciate me taking them out, then leaving them unattended whilst I play. Be sure and post the results of the contest

March 6, 2002

not real good at Ms. Pacman but make it Half-Life or Quake and we're on.

I don't always check the forums, but this one I was too late. But I couldn't have gotten away from the family anyway.

Gosh, I seem to remember there were some secrets to success with Ms Pacman, but that knowledge is gone forever!

March 6, 2002

Final score:

fractal - 1

everyone who didn't show up - 0

Didn't see any Geocachers... Guess I could have given more notice... There were some other folks trying to beat my score... but they failed

I was actually thinking about how I could get away with having that spot listed as a virtual cache called "Top Score". Go there and get top score on any game to claim it as a find.

Think I could get away with doing that?

Oh.. and Blazers won.. it was a pretty high energy 4th quarter...

I would have, but there were no Geocachers in site

Like I said.. It was real short notice...

And... Much to my surprise, my Top Score cache got approved!...with an admin note

Classic games eh? Twin Cobra? Red Baron? Battle Zone?. Of course, I will probably tank as I dont play some games very well. I even stink at pool, and I own my own table.

I may take your challenge....

Luckily, my last day of school was yesterday. But now it's finals week and that means my paper on John Elliot Ford's 'Tis Pity She's a Whore is due soon. Love the title, hate the play. Stupid Jacobeans.

But i am heading down to Top Score tonight for a few rounds of Dig Dug and more that a few rounds of IPA at the LowBrow Lounge. With most of the ex-girlfriends out of town on spring break, i'm a free boy.

So fractal, going to have another TopScore Gathering? I will try to make the next one. -C

It sounds good, but I dont get off work until 7:20pm. I work Inhell hours. During your last Top Score meeting, I got totally wet/muddy from scouting a new cache site, and didnt want to look like some waste-oid to everyone. I have got to learn to wear something besides a tee-shirt and jeans. Plus, I gotta start decrypting "Contact" again. Watched the movie, and I will put the clues together soon.

Ha! You might use these margaritas to give you super gaming powers. I know I always play a "little" better after a drink. At least I think I do 8ish sounds great! Save a 'rita for me.

Well.. I'm taking MAX into downtown from Hillsboro tonight... If the MAX goes straight to the cache, then yeah! Unless people are offering rides to the cache and back

Is this location muddy?? That will determine the vehicle I bring I will go for it! Fractal, I can give you a ride as you and I live in the same area (Aloha, Hillsburrito.. no difference)

It will be fun to kick all yer butts on pacman!!

2 straight weeks of rain make me think that boots are a good idea, but i don't think we'll need 4x4s or anything. Just flashlights and maybe a lantern. See you all at ground kontrol.

Fractal, I just drove past that park today (close to my work), and I was SERIOUSLY thinking of placing a cache there. It was in my mind all day about where to place one, since I scouted the park a few months ago.

Then out of the blue, you post the ESP cache there. Spooky. You are reading my mind.

I am familiar with 5 of the 6 spots there. I have an idea where it might be.. Didnt know you placed one there earlier. Weird.

First, Tree Hugger gets mentioned in the WSJ. Now there is a clone:

The Fractal legend lives on. The MN site is a couple of miles from where I grew up.

March 27, 2002

I'm sure I wasn't the first to hide a cache in a tree... But it does kind of bug me that they used the same name!
