[PAX Thursday] The Triwizard Drinking Tournament 2: $4048.83 raised! Ravenclaw Wins!

edited September 2016 in PAX West
One by one the seven horcruxes were gathered and one by one they were destroyed allowing for the defeat of Voldemort in a final climactic battle. Hogwarts suffered many losses and extensive damage as a result of the Second Wizarding War but the tenacious and skilled witches and wizards of Hogwarts quickly rebuilt the school and the next generation of students began their studies. Fresh faced and eyes full of wonder, these students could look forward to a future free of troubles, free of war, and free of loss.

And then someone just had to go and assassinate the head of the Ministry of Magic.

The wizarding world, still with the memories of Voldemort and his Death Eater's atrocities fresh in its memories, wastes no time responding to this threat. A call to arms is made and the four houses respond in short order, their best and brightest volunteering to stand ready in the face of whatever may be coming. These brave wizards, referring to themselves as the New Order of the Phoenix immediately being investigating. However, the dark forces working in the shadows also swell in number as this new threat recruits those who would seek to honor Voldemort's memory and continue his crusade and also those with twisted motivations of their own.

Who are these new Death Eaters and what machinations do they have in store for the wizarding world? What heroes will emerge from the forces of the Order as they act to put down the rising menace? Why is the Headmaster of Hogwarts constantly being found in his underwear day drinking in the Chamber of Secrets?

Welcome to a new era where the answers to these questions will be determined by the very actions of those are seeking them.

WHAT THIS IS
The Triwizard Drinking Tournament is a yearly charity pub crawl hosted by the Penny Arcade community in which each of the four houses of Hogwarts are split into two teams of fifty and unleashed upon Capitol Hill for a night of merrymaking and fund raising. Last year we pulled in $2853 in just a few short hours with all that cash going to Child's Play and securing bragging rights to the team that raises the most! For seven years the crawl roughly followed the Harry Potter books and last year went on a short break so that we could get horrible things involving chrome spray paint out of our system. This year the TWDT returns in all its glory!

WHEN THIS IS
Thursday, September 1st at 8:30 PM

The Headmaster
One of the big changes happening from prior crawls is that there is now an active Headmaster unaffiliated with any team that will be roaming from bar to bar, available to assist with whatever is needed. If you need help, if you’re in trouble, if you’re being harassed, if you’re lost, hurt, see someone too shitfaced and needing help, whatever, I will be available for the duration of the crawl. I have advanced first aid training, professional crowd control experience, and have been active in this crawl for six years now. Contact the official TWDT Twitter, @PAXTriwizard, if you need assistance. Alternatively, the house leaders and bar staff will have my phone number. I’m easily reached either way.
The Teams
If you are interested in volunteering for an open leadership spot then please message the appropriate Head of House!

Loyal, friendly, hardworking, and never one to grandstand, Hufflepuff is often a rather understated house. Their cheerfulness and outgoing demeanor sometimes get them teased but make no mistake, Hufflepuff don't give a fuck. Going against them is going against a house that will drink you under the table with a smile on their face and then politely call you an ambulance to collect your blacked out body.

When a challenge presents itself, House Gryffindor is never one to back down. Brave and determined almost to a cocky and reckless fault this House can always be counted on to rise to the occasion. Whether flying high in a Quidditch match or staring you down from across a row of shots you can always be sure a Gryffindor is never going to give up.

For those that seek greatness there is no more driven a house than Slytherin. They are cunning, resourceful, and always strive to be the absolute best but also tend to look after their own during their relentless drive to be on top. Time and again this house, through whatever means necessary, has come out ahead so be wary when you see the green and silver across from you.

With a love for learning for the sake of learning and a lack of fear of the unknown, House Ravenclaw attracts some of the brightest, and most eccentric, students at Hogwarts. Their thirst for knowledge is relentless but in their desire to prove what they know they can develop a strong competitive streak. However, this also means Ravenclaw is a tenacious and crafty opponent that will always have a newly invented trick up their sleeve.

If you're not sure which house you belong to, let the official Pottermore Sorting Hat figure it out for you!

The Challenges
After completing your challenge (and drinking your water. You’re drinking water, right? RIGHT!?) feel free to have another drink or two (or a soda, whatever!) and hang out while at your bar! Making new drunken friends is half the fun! If you do want to get out of the bar early, hang out just outside of it and wait for everyone else to head to the next bar.

Challenge 1: Show your house allegiance and celebrate the return to (or impending destruction of) Hogwarts!
OotP: Drink one light beer or one shot of light coloured alcohol.
DE: Drink one dark beer or one shot of dark coloured alcohol.
Challenge 2: The battle is on and the initial back alley skirmishes require guile and cunning. Pair off with a partner and secretly choose rum, tequila, or vodka. If your partner correctly guesses which you're thinking of they can take their choice of shot. If they guess incorrectly you choose which of the three they must drink. Reverse roles and repeat
Challenge 3: The battles are heating up and the fighting is beginning to get dirty with deceptively torturous spells being cast. You and your partner each order a different mixed drink. Mix half of each drink together and drink the resulting combination.
Challenge 4: The Death Eaters have unleashed a most peculiar curse in an attempt to confuse their opponents and escape their pursuers! Everything you touch doubles, then doubles again! Both drinkers must down a double-shot.
Challenge 5: You return to your headquarters after a long night of combat. Friends and family have had to fall back and recoup but you soldiered on till the end however you have one final fight as you have come across the traitors to your house. Buy each other at least one beer, shot, or mixed drink. Continue until you feel that your faction has won. Or you pass out.

Bonus Challenge #1: It’s important to stay hydrated during a long night of combat. Have a glass of water at each stop.
Bonus Challenge #2: Expecto Patrónum! Raise a shot of tequila to those that have come before us at the final bar.

The Professional Alcoholic's Guide to the TWDT
Greetings one and all! I am TOGSolid, drunkard extraordinaire, and I'm here to provide you with some helpful tips about having a fun, safe, booze filled night and a not horrible morning!

Don't be an asshole: We're all friends here (or soon to be friends!) so treat each other with respect. Also, the bars of Capitol Hill love having us around and we want to ensure that we're welcome every year. Treat the establishment better than you treat your own home. We're all going to be getting sauced up and nobody likes a dickhead drunk. Don't make us sick the Dementors on your ass. Double cool person points if you bring your glasses back to the bar when you're done and clean up after yourself! (There are no actual cool person points but seriously, other teams are going to be swarming the bar when you're done and it helps the bar staff a lot.)
Know your limits: We're all here to have fun, drink tons of booze, and help throw copious amounts of money to Child's Play but nobody likes a sloppy drunk. If you feel yourself getting to the point of no return there's a good chance you've actually already hit it. Alcohol takes time to work so be aware of yourself, doubly so if you're new to this sort of thing. If you're stumbling into things you should probably just start chugging water and take it easy.
No wizards left behind: We're all in this together. We arrive as a group, we leave as a group. If someone gets so shitfaced that they start thinking they’re an actual wizard then it's the responsibility of all of us to make sure that person gets home safely. Nobody will be left to throw up all over themselves alone in an alley.
Listen to your team leaders: They're not just the people that check your scorecard and help you get to the next bar. They're here to make sure everyone is having fun and being safe. If they're asking you to stop being a dick or trying to help you get home safely it's a good idea to pay attention.
Drink your water: Yes, I know it's a scorecard challenge, but I am stressing this one again because this is what helps to ensure you have a fun night and a less than awful morning. Sure, you'll have to pee more but it'll help keep you lubed up and partying throughout the night and help curb any hangover you may have.
Eat before you come to the crawl: Seriously. Do not drink on an empty stomach. That is a sure fire way to end up with a bad drunk and a worse morning. Eating helps keep your system running strong, lets you drink more, and will let you recover faster. [ShamelessPlug]Conveniently, there's a wonderful little thing called the Start of Term Feast that occurs right before the crawl and happens at one of the bars we'll visit! Get your tickets here! http://forums.penny-arcade.com/discussion/205632/pax-thursday-welcome-to-the-start-of-term-feast-aka-the-pre-pax-dinner-tickets-on-sale/p1 [/ShamelessPlug]
Eat after the crawl: Want to be able to show up to PAX the next day not feeling like shit? Then repeat after me: Greasy, cheesy, bready, meaty. I live by this mantra and it has never failed me. (I've got nothing for you vegetarians, sorry.) There are a few late night places open after PAX and there's always a pack of us that get together to go eat. Dick’s is nearby and shoving a big bag of Dick’s into your face is a great way to ensure a not terrible morning. There are also hotdog vendors open nearby that make some pretty killer dogs (Seattle dogs are super good and you should totally try one if you haven't). Alternatively, stash a pizza in your room before you come to the crawl or something like that.
Bring enough cash: This is, after all, a charity bar crawl! Make sure you have some extra money for whatever goodies your house leader may have for sale or auction. Also, using cash only makes the bartender's lives easier because it's faster than having to run a debit or credit card and we need to keep the lines moving.

The Wizard’s Guide to Dueling Etiquette
All forbidden curses are forbidden: All drinks must contain only a mix of drinking alcohol or legit mixers. No rubbing alcohol, ghost peppers, gasoline, bits of glass, or whatever nutty crap your internet polluted minds can conjure up.
The challenger buys the drink: This keeps things fair and prevents anyone from breaking their opponent's bank by ordering them Dom Perignon mixed with Patron and topped off with Crystal Skull vodka.
Choose your partner outside: Each bar is going to be assaulted by 100 people at a time. In order to ensure everyone gets their drink and the bartenders don't have an aneurysm find your partner outside and then go in together and order. Also, while outside, be sure to get your ID out for the person at the door.
Don't mess with the non-combatants: That respect thing goes for the people not involved with the crawl too. There will be bar regulars hanging out at these locations and people just wandering Capitol Hill doing their own thing. Treat them just as well as you'd treat your fellow PAXers. Who knows, you may get some extra donations along the way!

Diagon Alley – For All Your Wizardly Costuming Needs
https://www.universalorlando.com/Merchandise/Shop/Harry_Potter.html - For those wishing true accuracy I highly recommend ordering directly from the official Universal store. Other sites tend to have inaccurate, though still nice looking, merchandise.
http://www.amazon.com - For those less discerning or assembling a costume on a budget, Amazon has an assortment of cheaper, non-official costuming options. Also, a graduation robe makes for a handy wizard robe substitute!
http://www.Etsy.com - Etsy has a wide range of people selling handmade wands and other wizardly goods.

You can also go nuts with completely alternate theme costumes! I have shown up in the past as Slytherin versions of Hunter S. Thompson, a frat boy, a wizardly cowboy, and classy Victorian wizard. We’ve even had someone show up as Carl from ATHF (FOREIGNER!). Just ensure that your costume doesn’t have any weapons (real or fake), isn’t going to get you arrested/thrown out of the bar, and incorporates your team colours. Do try and keep it relatively themed to your house and something you'd reasonably see out of the Harry Potter universe or an off shoot of it. For instance, my wizardly cowboy had a wand holster, potion vials in the bullet holders, and was blatantly House Slytherin coloured.

As these are made to order I took the liberty and bought one of the Slytherin shirts to see how long it would take for production and shipping.
I place the order with 2 day shipping on Weds June 8th. It arrived about one week later Weds June 15th.

    There will be (most likely) an eventbrite with free tickets that will be announced here. Once it is up and running, you register for the event by picking up one of those tickets. In the past, one person could sign up for a maximum of two tickets in their name. When you grab tickets, you pick a specific house at that time.

    OMG. So excited.

    Slytherin DE all day erry day. I could... if someone were to persuade me, be pushed to warboy it up and witness people again... I don't know how I made it through last year with the chrome. I went through 2 cans of that stuff! I think the best part was rando people not even involved getting witnessed. By the 8 cylinders of valhalla I have no idea how I made it home.


    Alas, this is a Triwizard tournament, and warboys... they are not wizards.

    I am sure the Slytherin DE can find a wonderful use for Warboys looking to continue their carnage. Werewolfs weren't wizirds either, but damn sure we let them loose on a school. :twisted:

    If my friend and I are in different houses will we be separated?

    What about DE and not?

    Each House will start at the same location with both the DE and OoTP groups as each otheres first challengers. Then as we move locations, we will then be paired against other OotP groups and houses. We will then end the night at the starting bar with the same house together for the final drinking. So you will be separated for 3 out of the 5 bars that are visited.

    Example: First bar is Slytherin DE and OoTP together,
    Second bar is Slytherin DE vs another house OotP
    Third bar is Slytherin DE vs another house OotP
    Fourth bar is Slytherin DE vs another house OotP
    Last bar is Slytherin DE and OoTP together

    I'm really hoping for Slytherin DE this year, but I have friends who have bad opinions on which house to be in :razz:

    Sure, "your friends" are the ones with bad opinions on which house to be in.
    CA-CAW!

    Is it PAX <insert nearest future PAX here> yet?

    Question...

    If my friend and I are in different houses will we be separated?

    Ahhh thanks!

    Alas, She is a Hufflepuff, I am a Ravenclaw, so we'd only be together for one :(

    I have no idea how I have never known about this in all my years of pax-ing. I obviously need to forum more.

    I want to join Gryffindor! How? (Please don't hurt me, I'm new to being forum active!)

    One of us! One of us!

    To reiterate the second bonus challenge: just take a SINGLE shot at some point over the course of the night.

    Taking a shot of vodka at EACH AND EVERY bar during Mad PAX was....not shiny and chrome. Be safe out there wizards.

    I don't remember you being there...........


    I think I'm going to take the hybrid approach and goes as a wasteland wizard. Basic idea is that a wizard crossed over from the timeline depicted in Blurry Road...


    I am so fucking excite.

    You don't remember singing along to Queen and Bon Jovi and other drunken singing at Grim's.
    I'm sad and disappointed :,(

    I'd like to volunteer to be Slytherin's Order of the Phoenix Head Boy. I was the Head Boy in 2014. (I was drafted at the last second because something happened to whoever was supposed to be the Head Boy that night.) I'm the guy who bought that metal Slytherin statue, if anyone remembers. :)

    Also, I've attended 2013 and 2014, both times Slytherin Order of the Phoenix.

    Man, Slytherin DE, not getting any love from the masses. Come on people, Slytherin DE needs a Head Boy and Head Girl as well as a House elf still. Any takers?

    @valdor I will volunteer for the Head Boy spot for the Slytherin Death Eaters. I helped with Gigahorse Jockeys last year.

    This looks fantastic. This'll be my first year at PAX so as a noob with this bar crawl can someone point me in the direction of what the house positions responsibilities. I was looking through the old threads and didn't see anything.
