I can't stand it when you're so judgmental like that! It's like I don't even know you anymore!

I think we need to set up a map rotation that we like. The reason that we seem to play the same maps over and over is because there are some standard maps, like Well, that people seem to like little enough that when we see them, we change to a map we know we like, like Gold Rush. Unfortunately, this means that we rarely play the maps that we like, but which are not favorites.
So TF2=duct tape? I'm so confused

You and me both. I've probably received almost as many threats as you have .

(On a side note, I would love to partake in the above mention events to which this thread pertains.)

...I always seem to only be able to think of solutions that are too elaborate for the given time frame. But I like it anyway. I'll participate.

Congratulations to our winning team with the Bucket.

Thanks for joining in this year, everyone. I realize we had a few technical difficulties and we were pressed for time. I hope you all had fun despite these glitches. We are already working on next year's event to make it run more smoothly and to provide all you geniuses with a higher level of challenge.

The tri-pontoon boat was reduced to a two pontoon boat... which flipped over. It was, hands down, the most unsinkable of the entrants. It would have never sunk... flip over, but not sink. And the pontoons make a loud BOOM when exploded!!!!
