The Fourth Annual Triwizard Drinking Tournament

Atlus Parker

Let me take a moment to clear up a lot of misinformation that has been bandied about.

The Patronus Mark II challenge has nothing to do with your house button, which you receive at the beginning of the night, or the button you receive for completing your scorecard. The completion button has nothing to do with the Patronus Mark II challenge just like the Patronus Mark I challenge had nothing to do with the completion of last year's scorecard. Look at the scorecard for this year or last and you will see that there is nothing on it about the Patronus challenges.

The Patronus Mark II challenge exists to reward the diehard wizards who have gone the extra mile not only this year but last year as well. The button for it is printed in very limited quantities and is intended as a limited edition chase button.

In regards to Challenge 4, it is actually the "gimme" challenge of the evening. It only requires you to consume one drink while being social with an opponent. Regardless of how the game plays out you still end up drinking your entire drink.

Of, if you decide to do heels, bring extra shoes--Hells, even slippers would work.

Personally, if anyone comes in themed slippers (i.e. proper house colours, mascots, or just Harry Potter themed in general) I will donate $20 to their house/division. NO MATTER WHAT HOUSE/DIVISION. $30 if it's Slytherin and $50 if it's in DE.

Edit! To be specific, slippers would be house slippers. Like what you would wear at night, Winters, etc.

Slytherin DE slippers, work in progress. And yes, that's the top of a legit dark mark tattoo.

You know, that first challenge just seems like I'll be starting the night off with shots of jager.

Binkley

Here's a list of auction items I'm bringing for Hufflepuff (bidding starts at the first bar and ends at the last since those are the times the house is together). It's mainly stuff from the last movie which is either HP 7.5 or HP 8 depending upon your POV (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2).

Poster Set (small + large poster)
Small Poster (slightly dinged)

Spoiler:

Large Poster (also slightly dinged, note the backside is actually the same imaged mirrored not blank, so this is essentially one of those movie display posters they put up in those cool frames)

Spoiler:

T-shirt 1 (front and back)

Spoiler:

T-shirt 2 (front and back)

Spoiler:

Hat (front and back)

Spoiler:

Keychain

Spoiler:

I haven't decided if the Hat + keychain will be a set or if they will be separate. Also unsure whether to group the T-shirts or not. Right now let's just say the posters are set and everything else is separate.

They are Mardi Gras beads that have been cut and hot glued to slippers haha But bucky balls would have been pretty awesome too... though a tad precarious to say the least. I expect applause when you see the finished product because these slipperins (yeah, I said it) are supremely bitchin.

Not sure how I didn't notice this before now, Atlus, but the roster says "lemongrenades+2" and I only need myself +1.

That's why.

Man, I can't count.
I guess I need to go back to Hogwarts.

Can i get that extra spot?

The_Reflection

Question, is shots the song for both halves of gryffindor? if not, who got it in the divorce? This is very important to me as a second year gryffindor.

EDIT: ps, im someones +1 in gryffindor:DE before someone else says anything about me not being on a team.

thairian

It looks like my +1 is bailing on us poor Hufflepuffs D:

Sageheart

One last reminder to all my fellow Ravenclaw Death Eaters! Be sure to follow us on Twitter (@RavenclawDE)! We'll be tweeting during the crawl to keep everyone informed of when we're changing bars, what challenges are coming up, when auctions are happening, etc.!

MagnifiedX

Thairian: Well if you're +1 can't make it, I'd sure like a chance to join

!Hufflepuff and Dumbledore's Army!

EDIT: for bolding and readability.

Block question from PAXtrain riders- and anyone else arriving late I suppose- as long as we're following the twitter accounts and can actually track down our classes, there won't be a sign-in issue, will there? Or should we PM our Heads Boys etc. and let them know?

I am not sure which house you are in but I am assuming it's fine. Just make sure you track down a head to grab your scorecard and button (and don't forget to make a donation!) Also, these TWDT seats are apparently a hot comodity, so if you've got one, make sure you show up! It would also be useful to have a printed schedule and map, in case there are techinical difficulties with twitter that evening.

I wouldn't worry about the shots business.

PucSpifo

Hmm...well I'm way late for this, but I want in if there are any openings that come up.

CaptainTapole

So, my darling True Death-Eaters (of the Slytherin kind), your ever-faithful and always awesome House-Elf can be identified by the following:

Elf-Earred headband
Belt made of socks
Frog sock pinned to chest
White sock tail
Green pixie wings

If you find another house-elf in the midst, they are NOT me, but the other sneaky elves trying to convince you to donate to another house/sector.

Fear not! I will beat them down with my Slytherin scarf so they will run away empty-handed!*

Just remember, Slytherin Death-Eaters--The Dark Lord always knows.

See you all in less than four days!

* = Okay, maybe not beat them down, but just scold at them.

Any room for someone who found-out about this at the last-minute?

The first post says all houses are full, so no.

Hey guys. Are any other Hufflepuffs (or anybody from the other houses, for that matter) gonna be walking back to the Belltown neighborhood after the crawl? I ain't no wimp, but I'm reading that the area can get a bit seedy once the sun goes down and I believe in safety in numbers. I would prefer someone who knows karate. Or at least someone who is not as fast a runner as I am, giving the robber/stabber/monster a target as I book it the hell out of there.

Thanks! And I'll see you all very soon.

CaptainTapole

Uhm. To be honest, I think the "shady" folks would be afraid of drunk wizards/witches. I could be wrong.

Sumi

What's better than a Ravenclaw T-shirt?

Spoiler:

A Ravenclaw T-shirt with boobs in it. Also, chips apparently.

I am not actually a wizard, you see. So the "shady" folk will have no reason to fear me.

A Gryffindor shirt with boobs in it, and some onion dip to go with those chips!

Just don't look like you have anything worth stealing. Belltown technically has the highest crime rate in Seattle, but it's almost all theft. Tourists get told it has trendy bars, and then they get mugged. But seriously, even then it's not too bad. Seattle is a pretty safe city. I just might hide my smartphone and 3DS is all. If it was super bad people would stop going there, instead of building more trendy bars.

There ya go. I'm just used to the San Francisco kind so it really doesn't phase me. I look like the poor college student on a normal basis...which I am.

Standard stuff, travel in groups and don't flash expensive stuff everywhere.

I find also muttering to yourself helps.

Pythos

Atlus, subtract one from me. Down to Pythos +1 for Hufflepuff DA.

Crap, after searching through all my minutiae from last Prime, I can't find my Patronus button anywhere.

I did however find my completed OWL scorecard, anychance that could be used as a substitue for the Patronus Mk. II challenge?

I'll be heading to the Belltown area afterwards. Was thinking of walking or taking a cab. Get a hold of me if you'd like to go together

Did I miss the chance at the Hufflepuff TShirt?
