State of the Hunt

[nonelvis]

As far as I can tell, this year's Mystery Hunt is still running nearly 59 hours after it first began, though our team captain headed home for good about an hour ago, and I'm about done myself. (I've at least been home most of the day, what with all the snow, and have been collaborating with the team remotely.) I don't know whether to offer the Bombers congratulations or my sympathies for having a Hunt run longer than ours did last year – perhaps I should stick with my friend jagpatel's phrase, "condulations."

I have loads of things I want to post about the Hunt, especially about the round that I saw for the first time last night right as I was about to go to bed, and which made me howl in anguish so loudly I'm surprised the team couldn't hear me all the way over in building 4. I'd say that lunchboy was trying to kill me by arranging to have that round posted so late, but he had nothing to do with when our team got access to it.

Anyway, more tomorrow, including a photo or two, after I (ugh) get some work done.

My feeling is that I want to thank the Bombers for having a hunt longer than ours, as it makes us officially, Not the Team that Had the Longest Hunt in the Past Two Years.

OTOH, I pretty much had a fantastic time throughout, so I'm not particularly bothered by the whole running long thing.

Congratulations on your win! What time did you find the coin, anyway?

I was NOT on the winning team, which I am very, very happy about. Beginner's Luck found the coin about 3 this morning. I trust them to make a kickass hunt, that I don't have to be involved with constructing. Woo hoo!

Oh, duh, I forgot -- you joined Manic Sages!

I am SO GLAD we did not win. I could not have faced that again so soon.
