    It could be Google Maps on the iPhone that's going wonky, but the pins show the same address and it only goes from Home Bar to First Bar, not Home-to-First-to-Second-to-Third-to-Home.

    Do we have times for each stop on the routes?

    No Crescent for Slytherin. :-(

    And I know you scouted ahead, but I do hope Linda's is ready and actually prepares for us. I know it's hard to get a drink there by myself on a Thursday, let alone with this crowd.

    Must be an iPhone thing. Works fine in a browser for me.

    The only major change I see happening would be to the ending bar just in case they have an early last call.

  • redhaloredhalo Registered User
    That would seriously be an early last call.

    Just looked at the challenges. So is there a way for the noobs to earn a patronus button for future challenges?

  • CutiePieXOXOCutiePieXOXO Registered User
    I never actually GOT a Patronus button last year, but I happened to take a picture of my OWL proving that I finished the challenge. Hopefully my head of house will accept it!

    Baaaaaaaaaaaaah, I don't have my scorecard anymore and I never got a Patronus button (I think the head of house was too drunk to remember to give me one, lawl). Blast!

    I looked through all my buttons from last year and can't find my patronus one either. I *may* have been a little drunk and can't remember if I actually got one, though I do remember the Patron....anyhoo, it's all for fun and charity.

  • SageheartSageheart Registered User
    Luckily I still have my Patronus button from last year but there definately needs to be a "make up" challenge for those who are new to the crawl or just who lost their button since last year.

    So do I need to do this year's Patronus challenge to get my button? Because this is my first year, so all I can really accomplish are the 5 main challenges. Does this get me an awesome Badger Button?

    But you can't do the challenge without a button from last year. Its a vicious circle. Got to do the challenge to get the button. Can't do the challenge without the button.

  • remlap13remlap13 Registered User regular
    ..So, essentially, because I'm a newbie, I can't get my Hufflepuff button for completing my challenge scorecard? :(

    EDIT: I'm a tool. I still get my badger button for making my Child's Play donation. Hah.

    These are challenges are much more sinister than last year. Especially that first one. I think Atlus is trying to thin the heard.

    Definitely. I don't mind the first since this is just my second crawl. Mixing the drinks could be fine or absolutely horrible, depending lol.

    Yeah, that first one is a ball buster. Being a DE and needing to down 3 dark beers or dark liquors is going to be one hell of a jumping off point.

    I think I'm going to reconsider hitting the sauce during the Pre-PAX dinner and instead start the drunkening once we hit Grim's.

    As long as nobody orders a mudslide or a white russian, mixing two mixed drinks usually ends up drinkable.

    I'm not a beer person myself. But there reaches a point where I'm drunk enough to drink beer like water. Would be nice if it was to buy a "mixer" that way it could be energy drink or soda or something. But i guess that's why its a challenge?

    Challenge 4: I Must Not Tell Lies

    Engage your opponent in a game of wits and put their Occlumency skills to the test as you pry their deepest and darkest secrets from them while protecting yours.

    Pair off with a partner from the opposing house. Each of you order a beer or mixed drink. Engage in a game of I Never until both drinks have been consumed. Save any dirt you learn about your opponent for future blackmail. (credit to gal_friday)

    Soooo glad I'm not in a house. That game and I never do well together. >.>

    Apple cider and a shot of vodka is also quite awesome.

    Hey, Ravenclaw DA!

    I made a flickr group that we can use after the crawl to share our photos. But until then, I thought it would be a good place to put photos of the items that are being auctioned. If anyone is bringing anything for the auction next week, please post a photo here:

    http://www.flickr.com/groups/1723978@N24/

    Also if you have a flickr account, please join so you can share and see any photos of the crawl afterwards!

    I'll be your partner...we can both go down in flames. It will be wonderful.

  • verditsgermanverditsgerman Registered User
    It would be nice if us newbies could do the Patronus challenge and get last year's button so that in the future we can have the challenge count. I'll be sad if I am forever locked out of the challenge because I joined the tournament one year too late.

  • ArcheiousArcheious Registered User regular
    I also agree there should be some sort of "Didn't do a patronus last year" challenge.

    Occlumency is hard when you're on the spot. I suggest that students study their spells prior to examination.

    So, I take it the patronus thing is locked out for everyone from here on out? If you didn't get in on the ground floor last year, no patronus business for you ever? That's a little odd. Are there any plans for a pre-patronus challenge (ever) to give latecomers the chance to get in on it?

    Perhaps the "live target" involves those who haven't done it yet. In any event, I'm going to out smug Smugleaf by flaunting my Patronus button all during the crawl.
