FEDDERGORIES
Thursday June 21
by Cloudbase
Well, the longest day turned out to be an eventful one indeed, with dis-affected hackers doing their very best to thwart the return of Feddergories, under the stewardship of Fed's newest event host Cloudbase.
But whilst the hackers were unable to stop the game taking place, they were able to cause enough confusion to prevent it starting on time, and created so much havoc that many were more concerned at trying to appease the rebelling masses, rather than join in!!
This was not the case for our 'throw caution to the wind' players who scoffed in the faces of the belligerent work-thingies and so we started with four players: Stiddleficks and Dennotairn, who were both Feddergory debutants, Captainfuzzy and last but by no means least, Fancy.
Being the longest day of the year, and the official start of summer, the only plausible theme for the day, was Summertime!
Round 1 started at the camping site where I needed to find out what was in my pocket. Fancy found some shiny coins, Captainfuzzy sunblock and Stiddleficks sunglasses, each scoring a point for their answers. Round 2 saw the first Fed category, Systems. Fancy offered Starcloud, Dennotairn Sol and Captainfuzzy, Starfleet. Round 3 saw us looking for ways to keep cool and Dennotairn suggested scuba diving, Captainfuzzy sundaes, Fancy swimming and Stiddleficks, soda. Personally I will try all four of those this summer, many times!!! But it was good to see Round 3 bring points for every player.
Sadly at this point Captainfuzzy retired due to a RL appointment!! Rounds 4 and 5 saw us trying to guess the lifeguard's names, Stiddleficks and Fancy matched on the guys making Dennotairn the only points scorer in round 4, but Round 5 saw each of the three of them scoring.
So at the halfway point it was all to play for with Fancy and Dennotairn leading the way with 5 points, Captainfuzzy in third with 4 and Stiddleficks still well in contention with 3 points.
Round 6 saw us contemplating Summer School subjects, with all players scoring as they did in round 7 also in our second Feddergory of the games, player's names - Sissy, Smitty and Spacey being the offerings! Smitty using his sixth sense had obviously detected the use of his own name and came to join us as a spectator at this point. In Round 8 and 9 Fancy showed all the experience and coolness required and was the only one to score points in both rounds, and in Round 10 Fancy again scored as did Dennotairn, taking us into the final Bonus Round, every player still with a chance of winning the game.
So as the tension mounted and fingernails were chewed, the last category was announced, Reasons given to call in sick to enjoy the weather. Dennotairn came in with 4 very plausible ailments, and Fancy came out with some shockers one of which included the death of a relative!! All however unique!
So with all rounds completed, the scores were tallied and the results were as follows;
Fancy 16 Points
Dennotairn 13 Points
Stiddleficks 5 Points
Captainfuzzy 4 Points
So the winner was the much experienced Fancy, however the prize of a Slithy Tove went to the debutante, Dennotairn. Congratulations and thanks to all who played.
Feddergories will return every week at 10.00pm eastern on a Thursday night, come and join us and have some fun and maybe you can even win yourself you very own Slithy!!
