I'd really like to play but I'll probably be to busy this year. not that I'm complaining! Next year though definatly, I'll be throwing my mask in the ring. Unless of course I get another call...naaah. never happen.

Games and billions of dollars of destructive equipment? A match made in heaven!
No, you were rejected for no images. Try registering again, and also email your images as attachments to ctishman@mac.com. That way if it comes through without pics again, I can add them manually.

We've got our players. Look into their eyes, and know that one of these men or women will be hunting you at PAX, and that from this pool of lucky mooks, your target will be assigned.

Well, I was on top of the ball until the reg date that was posted on the site came and went. Then I sorta waited, and waited, and waited. Then I'm gone a day and the damn thing is over.
I guess I thought that there would've been more slots open, and that one day wouldn't mean all that much for my chances.
Goddammit, I missed it! Work and a variety of other things have consipired to keep me from checking these boards very often, and now I see that registration has come and gone! Fuck!
Oh, well. Like the Professor, this will be my first time, too, so maybe it's better if I won't be constantly glancing over my shoulder and jumping at shadows.
EDIT: Why were there only 22 slots for participants? Given the number of people going to the con, there would undoubtedly be a lot more who would want to participate in this (like me).
Well, we had 35 last year, and a smaller field of people to hunt through, and we didn't get through the game. This year, I kept it to 20 so we had some chance of finishing. I suspect that next year I may run two or more games, as the software will be in place. This also means I'll have my shit together next year more, and have a premade registration date that I can actually keep.

...right next to my solid gold toilet, several locks of hair from professional female bowlers, and my 1st place ribbon from the 1997 Bag-O-Kitten Tossing Contest of Southern Idaho.
Posting this here because a couple people's emails bounced.
So, this is the final info for PAXsassins '06. We have 22 players with 22 intimidating ninja pics, but only one trophy, and therein lies the problem. I'm not going to saw it up and give a bit to each of you, so I think you're going to have to hunt each other down if you want the glory.
First off, there will be a meeting before the games starts, and this meeting will be mandatory. If you do not make it to the meeting on time, you will be marked dead immediately and removed from the running. At this meeting I'll call roll, go over the basic rules one more time, make sure everyone has my phone number and most importantly, give out your packets, which will contain play rules, your first dossier and your watch.
It will take place at 3:00 PM on Friday the 25th (Day 1). This is an hour after the doors open for pre-registrants. It will be held at the top of the stairs and elevator connecting levels 1 and 2 of the center.
Let me explain further, as the Meydenbauer isn't exactly straight-up-and-down. There are two main entrances to the center, both are off NE 6th street. There's the upper (main) door, which is where the day-of people entered last year. Then there's the lower set of doors, further east along NE 6th street. If you're entering at the lower doors (and tradition says you will be), hang an immediate left after entering and go up either the stairs or the elevator to Floor 2. The meeting will be at the top of those steps there.
If you're coming in at the upper doors for some reason, stick to the right wall and head past the big escalator to the area at the top of the steps that come up from the level below. That's where the meeting will be.
If you're coming in somewhere else, you're such a ninja that you don't NEED instructions to tell you where to go. Hell, chances are we're all dead already if this is the case.
Remember: The meeting is mandatory. If you're not there, you will be DROPPED! It'll be real short, I promise.

Also, some updates: I just ordered a trophy today. It'll be here by the 12th, and I'll take some pictures!
We now have 21 approved ninjas, and only one spot left.
Another edit, this time in all-caps. Also, I'll be sending this in an email to everyone, for those who don't have forums accounts.
IF YOU HAVEN'T READ THE RULES, READ THEM NOW. THEY HAVE VITAL INFORMATION THAT YOU NEED IF YOU WANT TO PARTICIPATE.
INFORMATION LIKE WHERE THE SHORT BUT MANDATORY MEETING IS, WHERE YOU GET YOUR WATCH AND FIRST ASSIGNMENT.

There's no way I'm going to allow that beauty to reside in Beavertown. The burbs don't deserve such a thing.

Excellent, you can allow me to live, whilst I allow you to give me your wristband and subsequent kill. Sounds like a plan!
muahahahaha :twisted:
Me: Maybe we can work together.
You: What do you mean?
*smack*
Me: I mean I hit you and you die. Nice teamwork you f***ing n00b.:twisted:
I'm just joking, I mean no offense by it.
But if you do win, can I come visit it?
