Penny Wars

by **Festa** » July 31st, 2008, 10:37 am

Alright - I'm disappointed that the haters didn't deposit silver into our cup on Tuesday. Maybe they don't see us as a threat yet. Next week I'll dump $1 of pennies into our cup to spice things up :-)

Penny Wars? I think I read the email but I still don't get it. I'm pretty good at flicking pennies.

The gist...

The more copper you have - the more points you get
The more silver you have - the more NEGATIVE points you get

You can place coins in other people's buckets.

To win you put pennies in your own, and silver in everyone else's.

Too complicated.

We were talking about this at the bar before you arrived, Mauler. It's what they are doing for charity, and has been a convention in kickball for years (lots of the older DC teams do it). We have our own jar, and Cho and I will be renaming it "'Da MAULER Legal Defense Fund."

We'll be the team that steals the silver out of our jar to pay for cab fare.

:twisted:

What is the charity anyway?

Rename ours as the I hate 'Da MAULER jar and it will be full the first hour every tuesday.

It's all for charity.

Come on guys help me. I'm trying to become a 1337 kickballer before lunch and I hate cheap posts.

by **Kickball_Carrie** » July 31st, 2008, 11:16 am

Hmmmm, kind of like that one there, Mauler?

Be patient. Elite will be yours soon.

I sense the force is strong in that one.

I've got plenty of pennies. Is this a popularity contest for our team?

Yes it is. That's why I want to lose

by **Festa** » July 31st, 2008, 11:27 am

When I say lose, I mean get the most silver (aka most money) in our cup. This way our Bad-Ass image will raise lots of money for charity.

Win it all or lose spectacularly...we've got to represent.

Where is 'Da Zakwhorebeans2 when you need him?

I have another Hey WHOA in my sight. Nothing feels better than passing one of them. :twisted:

What are the levels of posters? Like what is the minimum for the next level?

Most of us were like you until we created the HTKC. Now we have good reasons to post and most of our posts are quality.

Jellydogg and I are geniuses for putting this team together. This team is awesome in just too many ways.

You can see the levels easiest by click on the Members link and sorting on the Post Count. Your next level is 100 (aka Recruit Kickballer.. or something like that)

by **JellyDogg** » July 31st, 2008, 12:10 pm

100, 300, 500, 800, 1000, 1337, 2000, 2990 (?), 3000...

by **lilpenny** » July 31st, 2008, 12:12 pm

I'm the 97th most poster in this forum... and I joined like 2 weeks ago tops!

... the rest are such slackers. :geek:

Yep.

I'm outtie people. MAULER's gotta eat!

Carrie, VOF see you guys at Nolan's tonight!!

by **Kickball_Carrie** » July 31st, 2008, 12:21 pm

Not me, I have to work today. Y'all should have planned on coming to the E & C instead. We have much better food. And I have a magical swipe card that makes drinks and things go away from bills. I love being in charge.

So. Who wants to play in DC this fall?

I knew it was in that range, but I wasn't sure exactly what number it started at.

by **'Da_MAULER** » August 11th, 2008, 8:05 am

HTKC, this week bring pennies and nickles. I plan on bringing at least $1 in pennies for our jar.

by **Festa** » August 11th, 2008, 8:07 am

I'm going to have to shoot myself a reminder tonight to put the pennies with my gear

by **JellyDogg** » August 11th, 2008, 8:08 am

wait, do we want to win with the most pennies, or win with the most money?

by **'Da_MAULER** » August 11th, 2008, 8:10 am

Pennies, just like with flipcup and when we win the playoffs it will give us another honor that no one will want us to win. :twisted:

by **Kickball_Carrie** » August 11th, 2008, 8:12 am

No no no. Let's LOSE this one. It's for charity, you can't win charity when people hate you, it's against the rules of hating. We do good only for ourselves. We will win most money b/c people hate us. Put pennies in other people's jars and put silver in ours. It's the best way to go.

I think it would be funny if we could win this one both ways... most "points" AND most money.

No, you are missing it. The more pennies we put in and the more we start winning people will put nickels in ours. Then we are responsible for bringing other people in to vote against us. We put our nickels in the teams who are winning.

by **Kickball_Carrie** » August 11th, 2008, 8:19 am

I know how it works. We can still be in last place and NOT put any money in. I want to deliberately lose this one. If you want to be the most hated team, do things that people hate. Like snubbing charity. That's why I was not a fan of Plan B in Liberty last season, and I think that's the way we have to go.

by **Festa** » August 11th, 2008, 8:20 am

We need to give people a reason to put more silver in our jars. Right now we're in last.. but we need MORE negative points. The only way I see to do that, is to actually challenge everyone else.
