Awesome time with fellow Slytherin DEs and others. Those Ravenclaws is cwazy! Twinkie, you know you're glad you trusted a Slytherin for the mustache touch-up. Slytherin have steady hands. I hope I can make next year's.

Had a wonderful time. However, if you were Hufflepuff DA, borrowed my scarf, played pool with me, and left, you forgot to give my scarf back. Please PM me to arrange a return so I don't have to PM all the Hufflepuff DAs. TY!

Crispy262

Yes please coordinate this so we can get the scarf back into the proper owner's hands. Great job everyone
I hope everyone had as good of a time as I did!!

Agreed! Did anyone try the themed drinks/foods? How were they?

MonkeyConQueso

I'm amazingly awake after last nights drinking. Although I was quite a bit easier on the drinking compared to last year.

I hope everyone had fun and made it home okay! I know I did, so thanks again Atlus for getting this together!

e: The shot glasses rock! Glad I got two.

To the Hufflepuff all the way out from Britain, the Slytherin who will not have an alto saxophone in her house, the exceptional Gryfyndors who helped me confirm that no one has ever been to Comic Con, the Ravenclaw who also confused ponies with unicorns, our ever trustworthy sherpa, and our excellent headboy and house leaders: thank you! A damn fine evening ^_^

arsonisfun

uh ... anybody seen atlusbro?

Had a blast doing this. It was nice to meet the fella from Hufflepuff whom I shared a polyjuice potion with, the guy from Slytherin who showed me his DIY wands, and that awesome fella from gryffindor that I may have spilled quite a bit of "I never" and also ran into him again at the Unicorn. Til next year!

RubyLou

Holy hangover batman! What a fun evening.
I definitely enjoyed the last challenge the most. Yay for making new friends and being silly.

juntadna

What a great time! I'm definitely comin back next year.

Also, I would like to say that the female head of Gryffindor was so inappropriate, aggressive, and rude. I understand it can be difficult herding 50 drunk people but there is no excuse for that kind of behavior. If I had been unfortunate enough to sign up for Gryffindor I would have left early. Please do us all a favor and calm down.

ConstantCupcake

Our Slytherin DA contingent from Colorado would like to thank our head boy, our head girl and our wonderful house elf. They did a great job herding us drunk cats. Next year we'll contribute some of our homemade wands to the auction.

ArcticXC

Nice to see so many Colorado peeps on the crawl!

Hey everybody! This is going to be short as I hate posting from my phone.

A BIG thank you to everyone who showed up last night. I hope you all had as much fun attending the TWDT as I had organizing it for the fourth year in a row. Our Heads and House Elves were amazing as usual. I can never thank you for everything you do (broken record) and apologies to those whom I did not catch up to during the festivities.

Thank you to everyone who came up to me during the evening to thank me or had kind words to say. It really was the cherry on an already delicious sundae.

From the donations I've collected so far, it appears that you witches and wizards were extra generous this year. For those of you who donated auction items really made a huge difference so an equally large Thank You to you as well.

The only item of business that needs to be addressed at the moment is collecting donation from 6 groups. Heads, if you can text me today or tomOrrow we can arrange a meeting. Also keep in mind any feedback you have for me but I will do a formal thing later. So far the feedback has been generally positive.

Thank you all so much for making The Fourth Annual Triwizard Drinking Tournament a smashing success and we'll see you next year!

I think next year should have a game of thrones theme.

I didn't know that you like sleeping on the couch.

Thanks so much to everyone who came out and made this a truly awesome event! Ravenclaws you rocked my world. Props to our wonderful head girl, head boy, and house elf, and to everyone who stepped up and made this crawl run relatively smoothly.

I tried to make this announcement on the crawl but it was kind of hectic: I am speaking on a panel with my coworkers from the webseries, Standard Action. It's on Sunday, 1:30 pm in Unicorn theatre. We are going to talk about the series in general and how we produce episodes very quickly and with an extremely limited budget. If you are at all interested in this, please, come support us, or if you know someone who might be, let them know. Our community is extremely important to us, and without your support we simply can't continue doing what we love.

This post may be a shorter than it needs to as it's from my phone, you know, PAX going on and all. Slytherin, I am blown away at your generosity, your spirit, your awesomeness. This has been our best year yet. My team has been simply amazing. My house, ever so eager to give part of themselves to enrich the lives of others. And as much as we all shit talk in the name of fun, our competing houses have been great sports as well. I'm not trying to sound sappy, but I feel closer to you all.

Thank you guys.

Namel3ss

Are we presenting the donations at the PA Q&A again this year?

ky13

What am I supposed to do with this Ravenclaw banner, I don't think they'll let me take it on the plane.

zezspecs

Had an awesome time this year. It was fun leading all the Slytherin DA people around with the banner. Huge thank you for all the donations.

Cronus

Thanks everyone for another awesome pub crawl. I want to give an extra thanks to all the great Slytherin Death Eaters. Everything went perfectly and we raised a lot of money for Childs Play. I look forward to seeing all of you next year!

Booooo.
People should be posting pics. cough.

CaptainTapole

My pictures...which is not much...will be posted when I get home Monday evening.

beta_angel

I have no pictures.

I do want to say a HUGE thanks to the Slytherin Death Eaters. You guys rocked!! We did a great job with donations this year and it was a blast to be your headboygirl.

Thank you to redhalo, Cronus and of course, the always wonderful CaptainTapole. You guys were, as always, an absolute delight. Thanks for letting me be management with you. heh.

Atlus Parker

Alright folks, here is the official word on the donations presentation to Gabe & Tycho: we've been asked to present them at the signing. Afaik this means we won't get the public spectacle of announcing the total or which house won. If anyone has any suggestions re: the winning house announcement or can help me get the donations to G&T faster than queueing all day for the signing please let me know asap.

Btw, if you haven't heard yet the house totals are AMAZING. This is our most successful year yet and I still have to collect from one more house. I think you guys will be pretty happy.

deedylovescake

So what were the final totals?

stabn_

Had an awesome time with Slytherin DA. Thanks for organizing this once again Atlus!

Daksa

Had a blast again this year! Thanks for putting this together Atlus.

I want to say that Wendy was the BEST Hufflepuff DA head girl EVER!
To the Hufflepuff DA group from Alaska you guys were some of the friendliest group of people I met that night.

To the Ravenclaw couple from Tucson thanks for your patience and for helping out two hufflepuffs meet our 2nd challenge.

To the Griffindor DE couple Maria and Taylor you guys were great dueling partners.

To the big bunch of Slythern DE that played never have I ever with us and our previously mentioned awesome head girl Wendy you guys were the coolest.

I am in for next year!!!!!!!

Enigmas

I have to say it was an honor to herd the cats that were Slytherin: DA as your House Elf.
I was wondering if you all could hold this normal over-indulgers attention as *the* sober one amongst the group. You did not disappoint.

Can't wait 'til next year and another night of debauchery on the Hill.

CaptainTapole

As the Slytherin DE House Elf, it was an honour (English, bitches--it's Harry Potter-Themed in here) to herd my fellow DEs about and allowing them to duel/be drunk.

To all the wizards and witches from all houses and sectors, brilliant to see you all enjoy yourselves...even to each of the tag-alongs I am quite certain each house sector gained.

To the Heads/Head-Boy/Head-Girl/House Elves, wonderful and lovely time to see you all and everything.

To Altus, Tajah, and whomever else coordinated with the bars, we all thank you so very much.

And it was a good battle, but Ravenclaw has deserved it this year. Fear not, my fellow Slytherins. We have to be nice (for once) but the Dark Lord's house will have vengeance!

PS: RedHalo, Beta and Cronus (or whomever will be the heads next term)--Let me have a mother-effin pen next year!

Jnevermore

Had a blast and still trying to piece together the night LOL, the Ravenclaw gang that played us in "I Never" you guys freaking rocked!!! Gryffindor DE for the win

TOGSolid

I twisted the ever loving shit out of my ankle that night and had to bug out a hair early to take care of it (hooray for having shipboard medical training!), but it's good to hear it ended awesomely. You can bet I'll be back to help out Team Slytherin next year!

Also *brofist* to Redhalo, beta_angel, Cronus, and the rest of the DE gang. You guys and gals are dah best.

Aw shucks, you guys were pretty awesome too!

giraffeoverlord

Hey all! Ravenclaw DE Head Girl here! Thanks everyone for an awesome night! Our entire group had a blast, and we didn't lose anyone along the way, so I think we can call the night a success.

Can we get an update on how much money went to Child's Play, and which house won the house cup? CaptainTapole's post leads me to believe that Ravenclaw won, and if that's the case, HELL YEAH!! But yeah, some confirmation would be awesome.

Rogue_hunter

I have a few very vivid snippets of memory of the crawl, but sadly, I do not remember much of it.

Thanks to Tajah for being a great Head Girl for Gryffindor Dumbledore's Army and sitting me down with a guy from Bungie and another guy from 343 Studios when we were at Clever Dunne's and making me drink my entire bottle of water. Otherwise I would have been a puking, slobbering mess.
It also seems that I now have two gold bracelets. If they're yours and you want them back, let me know. Best I can figure I traded the smaller of BigRed's buttons for it, but I'm not sure why

I do remember meeting arsonisfun, CaptainTapole, TOGSolid, Sumi, jujukoo, and that's about it. Nice meeting you all for the minute or so we met!

I guess I won, because I got deeeee-runk and didn't have a hangover the next morning.

reboot111a

Gryffindor DA House Elf here, It was more fun than I can express to help herd you all to more booze. My pillowcase will go into the vault of honor from this PAX along with my [E] shirt and we will see it reappear in about a year when the students return for more lessons.

Also mad props to the man who bought the $100 scarf at the start of the night, hadn't even had a chance to get that drunk yet, made my night!
