1. At one point, there is a nameless 'he' in one of Adrian's quotes. But he
uses the words linear and engineer in describing the thinking so I'm pretty
sure I know exactly who he has in mind, having been accused of being 'such an
engineer', etc. several times by the luminary known as Adrian.
PS: Please Wish Adrian A Happy Birthday (this Tuesday past)! He's just turned
40! And he doesn't look a year over 37!
(That's what you get for talking about me when I'm not around, smart guy)
2. A post-con quote from the trip home when Jim, TomM, TomB, Doug,
Adrian and JP 'The First One' were eating at the Binghampton Cracker Barrel:
Tomb: "They have all sorts of dice now. I've seen D16s, D14s, etc" Adrian:
"I've even seen D3s and D7s." Tomb: "I didn't think you could do D7s due to
some geometry issue." Adrian: "Sure you can, a D7 is just two D14s." Everyone
At The Table: "...?!..." <confused silence>
(We all knew what he *meant* to say was a D7 was represented on a D14 with two
sides for each value... but that ain't what it sounded like...)
3. Most traumatic GZG convention event this year: No, not the sheep. No, not
even the comments about me making a kilt from a 'welcome' mat and my concerns
that the 'welcome' not appear on the rear quadrant. It was JP mooning us
(Adrian, Doug and I) out of the window of Jim's explorer as we prepared to
depart the restuarant in Binghampton. I'm not sure what brought that on, but
I'm just going to cover that situation with a quote from the inimitable
Marcus, Space Ranger: "Who knew they were French?".

Correct, but don't complain--I was investigating the possibility of you
running Sheep next year. I don't think it would be a good idea for me to do
both con Queso and Sheep--they were each weird enough separately.

Linear thinking engineer... that would be you. ;-)

I knew what I meant. You all were just stupid. Foolish not to have your
telepathy working...

Since there seems to be some uncertainty....Happy <10d6>th Birthday!

For the tenth con, you've got to run them simultaneously with events on one
table affecting the other!

Grant foolishly suggested:

The two games are diametrically opposed -- there always has
to be a winner in Con Queso.
> The two games are diametrically opposed -- there always
Although it occurs to me that in con Queso, you can win without surviving.
"Whoever has the most cheese when he dies, wins." Hmmm....
> > The two games are diametrically opposed -- there always
There ya go! Think outside the cheese box!
For instance, dead people in one game could be reincarnated in the other.
Extra dimensional cheese.
The cross table brotherhood of the sheep.
Cthulu on one table is a soft cuddly puppy on the other.
I should stop thinking about this....

You can't believe how hard I'm trying!
Fortunately, the calmer folks who don't look at their mail til evening will
soon shame us into silence.

In the Sheep Game, most deaths were caused by reincarnating in the wrong
place. Lorenzo went through three clones at once, and we lost a couple others.

<evil grin> No, no, keep going....

Hmm, I suspect that I don't know enough about how the games setup (not having
played in either yet) in order to give decent ideas.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it!
