Marker fighting?

TAU FIEND. >:O

Actually, I don't know what it is. XD

It's what happens when you play assassins and you meet an enemy.

Superkalafrajilisticexpialidocious?

[Chozon1]

Interesting! Still, as a connoisseur, you'd be obligated to try it at least once, if not for anything else, the experience. And the bragging rights, of course.

You mentioned pizza earlier... what's one of the most unusual pizza toppings you've ever had - and actually enjoyed?

Very true. >_>

Uh...I don't know. Oddly enough, I prefer "classic"/boring pizzas. XD I've had broccoli, but I didn't enjoy that at all. Anchovies aren't really unusual...

I'd probably say artichoke hearts, or pesto. Both of those seem unusual.

Superkalafrajilisticexpialidocious?

So...how does this happen? Do you just whop out a marker and color their arm?

I don't know. The sound of it is really quite atrocious.

I can see how pesto could make a good pizza sauce, actually.

For me, it would be dill pickles. A couple years ago, Papa Murphy's (a take-and-bake pizza place) was offering a bacon cheeseburger pizza, which consisted of a more ketchup-like sauce, cheddar cheese, ground beef, diced bacon, diced onions and dill pickle slices. I figured "why not" and picked up a medium for me and my wife to try. We weren't sure if it would be any good. But I took one bite, did a double-take, and said "wow." She took one bite and her reaction was nearly identical. You wouldn't expect pickles on a pizza to be good, but there was just something magical and strangely addictive about it. We couldn't get enough of the things. Sadly, it was just a seasonal menu option and they've never brought it back.

What are your thoughts on pickles?

[Chozon1]

That just sounds amazing. I may have actually had something like that before. But really, I'd eat that all day. We have a place called Stevie B's that does stuff like that...they make a baked potato pizza that's glorious.

Pickles are the pudding and the glory. They control the spice and the universe.

I love pickles. Except bread and butter pickles. Because you can have sweet pickles, and you can have sour pickles, but you can't have some evil-spawn between the two.

That does sound intriguing. What is on it?

Bread and butter pickles are the ones we usually have around here because they are my wife's favorite. I tend to prefer dill - especially slices on a good burger - but it's hard to go wrong with a good pickle.

[Chozon1]

As for the pizza, it was a sour-cream sauce, with thinly sliced potatoes, cheddar and mozz, and bacon, I think. Good stuff.

I really want to get some fermented pickles, but they're not something our local markets carry. They're supposed to be amazing.

[Emwok]

In assassins when you meet someone that you must kill (either your target or someone from the other team(s)) you pull out your marker and get some ink on them. There have been some very creative assassinations in the past but usually you hunt them down and go mark them.

Stinky cheese?

[Chozon1]

What if you built a tiny crossbow for the marker?

I've never played this game. It sounds rather violent, but also something that a church group would play at parties. XD

Stinky cheese...well, I'm not a fan. All cheese has an odor, but the ones that make you weep or gag? I'm just not a fan. I've tried limburger before, and it just tasted too much like it smelled.

My tastebuds couldn't handle it. XD

[Emwok]

I don't think I can explain this without including the rules. It's not exactly violent, but it does involve "killing" people. I have included the rules for what my youth leader calls "Assassins: Double Kill Redemption". With these rules, each person is given a target who they must "kill". Any names you see in the text of the rules are there because that person has done something that has affected a rule change. For example, the G. Grieb Rule states that you cannot use the marker as a projectile. The person which the rule was named after actually did use a crossbow modified to shoot markers.

Rules:

Spoiler:

1 How to Assassinate:
(a) You may only use washable markers and it must be the marker in whole, not in part; any other form of marker is against the rules and may ruin stuff.
(b) “Assassinating” your target requires you to successfully mark their skin or clothing attached to that person before they mark on yours. If it is attached to your body, it is considered part of your body/clothing. Therefore, backpacks, fanny packs and other non-clothing articles count as a part of your body and therefore, count towards assassination. However, items that you are holding (ex: umbrella, light saber) are not considered part of your body/clothing and therefore do not count towards assassination.
(c) Arguments: (i) Arguments will be determined with a hearing by the moderator or Rob and if both parties cannot come to the same conclusion, then both parties are out of the game unless an outside eyewitness verifies what actually happened.
(ii) OR they can agree to do a showdown in which only one person remains, showdown must happen the same day. (J.Beasley & T.Dodds Rule)

2 Who to Assassinate:
(a) You will be given a target in which you may “assassinate” them by means of marking that person with an acceptable marker.
(b) Once you have successfully “assassinated” your target, the target of the victim you eliminated becomes your next target.
(c) Double Kill Rule: If you figure out who is trying to “assassinate” you and then “assassinate” them before they get to you, then they are dead. In other words, at any point in the game you are able to assassinate 2 people: your target and the person who has you as their target.
(d) If you assassinate the wrong person in the attempt to kill the person who has you, they are not dead but you are incapacitated (cannot assassinate nor neutralize anyone) for 1 hour. You can still be assassinated with no chance to neutralize.

3 Boundaries and What Nots:
(a) You may NOT wear anything that makes you look suspicious for this draws unneeded attention and my result in phone calls to the police by neighbors. *If anyone calls the police on account of your suspicious behavior, you are disqualified from the game. (G.Grieb & Z.Weikel Rule)
(i) You may not wear full camouflage or all black while stalking your target
(ii) You may not wear any kind of face covering while stalking your target
(iii) You may not wear face paint while stalking your target.
(b) You may only use marker and cannot use any form of propelling mechanism. Throwing the marker is acceptable in some situations (see article 3.g.) but any use of devices outside of that is not. (G.Grieb Rule)
(c) Homes are off limits from 10 p.m. to 8 a.m. unless you have permission from parents or are invited in. If out and about beyond those hours, you yourself are fair game, but please whatever you do, be respectful and do not upset the parents. If a parent deems their house off limits for the game, then it is the duty of the son or daughter to make known to other players that inside their house is off limits. If there is a parental complaint regarding behavior of another player inside their house, then that person will get 1 warning, after that, if any other complaints arise, he/she is disqualified from the game. (W. Farmer Rule)
(i) Backyards are off limits unless you get approval. Also front yards become off limit at 10:00 p.m. unless you have permission from a representative from that house. At 8 a.m., front yards are fair game.
(d) 30 minutes before and after organized church events is considered a safe period, moderator or Rob can extend the time if necessary (check your calendar for official events) but this rule only applies to those attending the event.
(e) You are safe on dinner outings following Ultimate/Calendar events even if it is beyond the 30 minutes rule as long as you are on the restaurant property, which includes the parking lot.
(f) As far as Church property goes, the Barn and only inside the Barn is sanctuary (you cannot assassinate or be assassinated).
(g) You may throw the marker if and only if you are outside; if you are inside any sort of building or covering then you may not throw your marker and must keep it on you. (A. Pendergrass Rule)
(h) Church Staff Meetings from 9 to ~10:30 on Tuesday mornings in the conference room is off limits. (A.Garbarino Rule)
(i) If you attempt to assassinate someone at their work place, you must do it in a way that does not draw attention. If there is a problem due to the attacker, then the attacker is disqualified from the game. If there is a problem due to the player at work, then the argument will be decided according to (Article 1.c). The best option is to ask permission from the boss and explain what you are doing so that no one gets in trouble. (V.Brown Rule)
(j) You may connect up to 3 markers to extend your marking reach. You may not use a stick, or bar, or any other kind of extension to extend your markers reach.

4 Keep the Game Honest
(a) No fake targets (don’t lie to the person that killed you about who you have.
(b) You cannot lie about being dead or alive, if asked you must tell the truth immediately (within 10 seconds) and cannot plead the 5th amendment (silence).
(c) Dead man don’t talk – If you are alive, you may share all the information you want, however once you are dead, you can no longer share that information. You may only tell the person who killed you who your target was (passing it on), but please do not tell anyone else whether they are alive or dead. They may still have a chance to get back into the game. (B.Williams Rule)

5 What To Do When An Assassination Occurs
(a) If you assassinate someone, you must contact the moderator. If you don’t contact the moderator, though the kill will count, your name will still show up on the Hit list.
(a) If you are killed, you must tell the person who killed you who your target was unless you were victim of the Double Kill Rule, in which case it doesn’t matter because your target just killed you.
(b) Contact Moderator whenever an assassination occurs, he/she will verify your next target unless you pulled a Double Kill and kill the person who had you at which case you will not be given a new target but will have a new person coming after you.
NOTE: Once someone is assassinated, the Moderator WILL NOT inform the whole group of the tragedy and neither can the dead man inform the group about what happened. Only when asked can the dead man tell their story, but the dead man must leave out names and mustn’t give any information that could draw attention to who their murderer is. (see Rule 4.c)

6 Redemption Rule: You will have (7 days) to eliminate your target, if you fail to do so within that time period, you are placed on the HIT list (your name will stay on the Hit list for one week regardless if you eventually assassinate your target or not), at this time your name will then be given to all the dead players and they will have the chance to kill you and take your place in the game. If a dead player kills the person on the hit list, then the dead player (now alive) must contact moderator before continuing. The Hit list will go out Wednesday Night.
(a) If you enter the game through the Redemption rule, you are still considered to be on the hit list until a new list comes out on Wednesday. Therefore, you can be assassinated by another dead person but you are allowed to neutralize dead people. (see article

7 Termination Rule: If you do not kill anybody in the 7 days after your name has been placed on the Hit List (14 days total of inactivity) then you are terminated and are removed from the game with no chance of redemption. NOTE: Killing the person who has you counts as activity and therefore you will not be terminated but you will be on the Hit List. (L.Moore Rule)

8 Neutralization Rule: If you are marked as a dead person (by a live person), you are neutralized for 1 hour.
(a) Someone on the Hit list can neutralize a dead person for 1 hour by marking on them.
(b) If someone on the Hit List is killed, they are then neutralized and must wait 1 hour to kill someone else on the Hit List or that same person. (M. Willis Rule)

9 Out of Town
(a) If you leave the city of Greater Houston for over 72 hours (3 days), notify the moderator and you will be considered dead. However, in contacting the moderator you will now have the chance of redemption (to get back into the game). If you DO NOT notify the moderator and you are found out, you will be considered dead instantly with no chance of redemption.
(b) If you go on a CEPC Youth Trip, then all time consequences stop and will pick back up 30 minutes after we have returned. If your target is on that trip and you are not, then time stops for you as well but you still can be killed.

10 Moderator cannot and will not give out any insider information about who has who or other hints, so don’t ask.

11 Awards
(a) Person with the most kills will receive $5 per head and will be titled “Syth Lord Assassin”. In case of a tie, the money will be split.
(i) If a person is dead and comes back into the game, his death counts as a (-1) towards the total kills he/she has. (Z. Weikel Rule)
(b) The winner will be titled “Master Assassin” and will receive the bounty of $35 in unmarked bills.
(c) Leaders cannot win the money, but they can win the title of “Master Assassin,” and “Syth Lord Assassin.”

Frost trolls?

[Chozon1]

That sounds pretty awesome. XD Whoever came up with that did a great job!

Frost trolls. Well. Depends on whether they're nice or not. The ones from the north tend to be very friendly, and make great buddies. Even though (cultural issue) they see nothing wrong with stealing food off of your plate, and have no personal space buffer. Awkward hugs are going to happen.

Deep, deep south frost trolls? Unfriendly lot. Flamethrowers will be needed.

[Emwok]

I've been playing Skyrim a ton. I've had it for like 3 days and I already have 11 hours so I've run into and been killed by some frost trolls.

Ginger ale, or ginger beer?

[Chozon1]

Oh. Those guys. If they're anything like the Oblivion flavor, they're not easy to kill. XD

I always forewent the smart path, and acquired hoards of health potions and charged into melee combat screaming "I SHALL SMITE THEE DOWN BEAST".

As for your question, Ginger beer. All the way. It burns like glory that's poured down your esophagus. O_O

I could drink that stuff all day.

Not that I dislike ginger ale. I just like the stronger stuff.

[Emwok]

Never had ginger beer myself but my dad has and he liked it a lot.

The price of rice in China?

[Chozon1]

Get it. It's glorious.

Is it related to the price of tea in china?

[Deepfreeze32]

Spoilering this one not because it's necessarily an inappropriate video, but because it's so weird I don't know how I'd feel about not spoilering it...
