Subject: GZG ECC V: The Quote Board
Greetings everyone, Herein are the recorded quotes from the Quote Board at ECC V this past weekend. I heard many more during the course of events, but was often too busy to get those written down anywhere. Alas. However, you can get a good flavor of things from these. You might notice a trend here and there, as some people were quoted far more often than others. And yes, in some cases the Narn Bat Squad should have made an appearance to the offending quotee. Anyway, enjoy the read. Jerry should be getting this up on the GZG-ECC webpage soon. I'll ry to write up my own quick After Con Report as soon as I get more time. BTW, if your favorite quote from a particular game during the weekend does not appear on the list here, that's because it never made the Quote Board. Next year you'll have to be more dilligent at getting these things recorded. ;-) Mk ======================================================================= GZG ECC V Quote Board Friday Evening: --------------- "This has spikey bits pointing out both ends" - Aaron Newman "Where is my room?" - Unknown "And now a brain just walked in" - Aaron Newman, Ghostbusters game "But, even in theory, you should be able to kill a zombie with a proton gun." - Aaron Newman, Ghostbusters "When Benny Rambo is busy, we all watch." - Stuart Murray, Cinegrunt "Okay!
