So, PROMYS is over. I'm back at my cousins' house again.
Last night:
After a game of Illuminati (illutree8.txt), Paco... wait, why am I skipping over the Illuminati game?!
OK...
I was Assassins, Steve was Network, Rebbecca was Cthulhu, Chris was AISB, Josh was Zurich, and Mung was SubGenius.
Early in the game, Josh offers me the possibility of a joint victory; we each get 3 violent groups, I get lots of money, we trade. I don't seriously consider it, it being so early in the game. I sort-of accept it as a sort-of long-term thing.
Apparently he made the same offer to everyone, and everyone did the same.
Skip a lot of interesting stuff I don't really remember...
Much later now. People have 5 or 6 groups. Mung has 6 - being SubGenius, that means he is only 2 away from winning. Many people decide is too close. I talk to Josh about it, and he agrees. However, he says, wait for next round; he's managed to convince Mung not to try and win this turn.
Why we all trusted him, I don't know.
Actually, he traded Mung 3 groups for a large load of cash. Mung and Josh win a joint victory, and people start wondering why they didn't accept.
Anyway, after the Illuminati game, Paco started showing SNL Celebrity Jeopardy - a whole bunch of them, continuously (it could have been all of them TTBOMK). Really great.
One group of people near the Illuminati game - rather, near the second one, and which I wasn't playing in - and which was playing with hidden Illuminati - Josh wanted to play with cheating (apparently he plays with cheating a lot, and he's really good at it), but nobody else would let him, so they played with hidden Illuminati instead - was blasting some really loud, annoying music. We decided to respond by playing John Williams - or possibly Hitchhiker's Guide - even louder. Unfortunately, we couldn't find loud enough speakers. Fizzle.
It was not until quite late that a Mafia game started, and I only played one game. But before the Mafia game was the Great American Spew-Off. It went like this: Shiyang had half an hour to drink a 2-liter bottle of Mountain Dew. Fergie, meanwhile, would try to make him spew it. If he spewed, or did not finish the bottle, Fergie wins; if he finishes within the half hour, he wins. I know that at least 1 bet was placed on it, as I bet on it against Anton. (I was betting on Fergie.)
Shiyang lasted, as I recall, approximately 10 minutes. Check with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
jonpin or shiyang or someone else who would know for an accurate figure. He was doing quite well at first, but Fergie finally got him with a whole bunch in rapid succession, one about how to get a monkey out from up one's ass.
My alarm clock didn't go off, so my parents arrived while I was still sort-of getting out of bed. And they were quite annoyed I hadn't packed. But we finally packed and left, so now I'm here. I suppose I'll be home in a few days.
