Best DTS Challenges?

XR

Anyone have any good stories?


I lost one of mine by this way.
I was eating at Johny Rockey, enjoying my Butterfinger milkshake and I noticed another PAXer down the counter with DTS buttons on his shirt... drinking a Butterfinger shake. We both had the same amount of shake left, so I challenged him to a drink off. Those damn things are hard to drink through a straw!

Anyone have any other good ones?

I just kept both of mine as souvenirs.

Boring.

The best DTS challenge was scavenging the massive piles of extra swag bags for buttons.

I had a few staring contests that lasted over half an hour. I never lost a staring contest. I did quite a few thumb wars. Won most of them. One Chinese kid I lost to had long finger nails and went super crazy and flicked his hand around. I could see the skin flying off my hand. Another guy was in the Sheraton and I slammed my head against a corner of a wall as he pinned me. That sucked. I ended up with 89 in third place. The person in second place had 90. I would have tied with him but I lost a badge to the guy who got first place in front of the dts booth on Sunday. I thought dts was fun, but I wish they had more stuff on Sunday. Most of the good stuff had already gone I felt like.

There was this HUGE fucking burly man from Oklahoma walking around with a vest full of buttons.
I asked, "Did you win all those playing rock-paper-scissors?"

To which he replied, "Nope.....MERCY!" *lifts up his hands* "You wanna go?"

I politely declined.

I want to apologize to the guy I completely roped into a game of Puzzle Combat in Serpent Theater just after the Boom Blox round of the Omegathon. I was only intending a normal rape of a game, and then Winyder reminded me about the buttons just before we started and I couldn't help it. Just know that you put up a better game than my husband on his one challenge. My darling dumbass found someone with a bajillion pins, challenged him to Tetris, and played him with his handicap at max. He wonders, astonishingly, how he lost in under 15 seconds.

And what's great too is that he had like 60 some odd pins by the end of Friday, and when he brought them all back to the hotel room we were all just like staring in awe. He ended up getting one from me, since I wanted to keep the other one for my brother's pin collection.

Collin, are you the one who cheats at thumb wrestling by holding people down with your other fingers?

No I competed at it with him, he just has long thumbs.

I was challenged to a foam sword duel during the sunday line.
I can honestly say that I was owned.

wasn't that yuffie cosplayer second with 90? and i heard people were just giving them to her (?). kind of against the whole spirit of the thing if you ask me.

i was too busy meeting a buncha people to remember about the pins until i pulled them out of my bag on the way home sadly, it would have been fun.

Were you doing them in the first day line?

The one were you and the guy were on your knees was fucking epic.

I was considering challenging you but after like the 15 minute mark I said to myself "yeah, you're fucked if you even try."

Some people decided to just hand over the pins because I had so many. My friends and I collaborated since we were so bored at PAX.

*shrug* I guess getting 90 doesn't matter. Everyone including people who got like 7 all got the same prize.

haha, I think I handed over those pins to you because the DTS is pretty much a joke. What place did you get?

Between these two quotes and a PM exchange I had the other day, in which I mentioned to another forum member that I was glad someone else from my hometown was able to make it to PAX and in response he sent me a death threat, I think I have an idea for a PAX 09 feature. The Raven Theater should be a dedicated arena where PAX attendees can go to beat the shit out of each other. We can theme it after the giant fish mouth from Castle Crashers, with weapons adorning the walls, and one of the doors permanently open so that other attendees can walk by anytime and witness the carnage. You get one prize ticket for each hour that you manage to remain alive.

I admit some people were just giving them to me. But I never asked for them, some people just didn't want to compete. The majority I won. And yes, I was one the doing them the first day in line.

Half an hour? Did you time them? This seems fairly impossible.

I think I encountered that Chinese kid too! Dude, he was fucking crazy! I was about to say "hey, it's a THUMB war, play by the rules," but I play that way sometimes too so I guess I shouldn't be one to talk. He was one of the only two I lost to. But he was pretty nice, so I didn't mind. He told me his name, but I forgot.

Oh god, I saw some kid BUYING pins off people. That was so lame; I wanted to go up and kick him and the person he was buying them from in the face.

collinc

No, I didn't time them. I was too busy keeping my eyes fixed on his eyes to watch a clock. But I assure you, two of them went for at least half an hour each. We were waiting in line and we had nothing else to do. Anyone who was there can attest to how intense it was.

Uhm, it actually is a frog, I think..... not a fish.

One tactic I tried on HotSake was to challenge him to The Game. By accepting, he was thinking of The Game, immediately losing The Game. He brought me up on the technicality that while he did lose the game, I did not win, so I could not win a DTS button. This perplexed me and while discussing it with LordThanda, HotSake pulled up this webpage stating he has won The Game, thus winning the DTS challenge.

I had to give him a DTS button purely on the creativeness of his solution. The bastard.
