interesting..

sounds good, but ill check back in the morning.
everything sounds good to me in my... ahem... present state

dude wtf....u got home soo early tonight wtf. i just got out of my half hr shower.

anyway yea these things always turn out pretty fun if the objectives arent lame.

This event is a great idea! If you're willing to accept help from other people then I wouldn't mind contributing a couple of ideas and detours haha. Strangely enough, my orientation day at UWS during the beginning of the year had the exact same event, except you're set up with lame objectives such as locating certain rooms and educational things.

lame things are like uni where the map is so misleading -_-"
and its more lame when you have an exam in a building that doesnt even exist ..
but i'll try make it 'not lame'.. well i'll discuss it with you guys before i make it official so it doesnt go lame =)

Hopefully this doesn't focus too much on knowledge of the area since i have no sense of direction : P

Lol I agree with Otoha! Eep...I can get lost easily as well. But somehow my strange luck kicks in and prevents me from getting more lost..@.@

Hmm, if people do get a bit bored trying to find places, maybe we should slot in extra activities for detour/road block, as a break for extra points~ like going into Market City and recording the shop numbers for the various cosplaying wig shops (and try one on! but dunno if photos are allowed...) and buying something from Morning Glory that is anime-related and identify where it came from? (lol hopefully not too mainstream).

might.. provide a map??

Ooh can I bag the role of the presenter. We can make it more life like if we get each team to record their Journey. Get the editing team to throw it all together Amazing Race style and make it into a full length episode. We then have a screening with the entire club. I have no life.

Thats actually kinda cool idea, two problems however, first we need videocameras, second running around or even just holding a videocamera is incredibly shakey while filming

hey that's a good point otoha... hey but it shouldn't be much of a problem, when people stop to look at clues etc, they can film then when running film a bit then do some interview thingos after XD hahahahaha american tv style!!!
ah but alas we need camera people...

XD omg this is going to be such an epic event!

This is going to be awesome~
Taicho gives approval of event! (Lol I might be the person next to the presenter, who says, "Welcome to (pitstop location), Sydney, Australia." You know, random person next to Phil in the Amazing Race, then you have to say Thank you to me!)
Can we throw in the secret santa event as well even if it is after Christmas? (planning present)

How about a gag prize for the group that comes last?

this will be a tough organisational challenge! ill be there to support (and throw in choice comments) along the way... lol

Sounds pretty cool.

I'm in, providing I have the $$$ and am not doing anything on that day.

oh wow... we have so many people planning and contributing ideas
i wonder if there will be any participants hahaha!
well yeah~ most likely this will happen in january so yeah =)
keep throwing the awesome ideas and when it gets closer like 2 weeks before
we can decide the actual event =D

Oooh anyone figure out a good date for this outing?

THIS SOUNDS FUN~~~~ X3 heheheh~

=D eep update on this event??

Oh hmmmm maybe a weekday arent weekends usually busy?

Hmm I thought Dannieh was going to decide on what day to set it, but it looks like he forgot...

i didnt forget yet.. i just havnt decided it yet... i'm gonna say most likely mid-end of january..
if that's okay with people

That's ok!

I have ideas on what places and clues to put them as..want it Danny? They are pretty lame though..

yeap ^_^ this is the discussion place so feel free to put any suggestions down
and we'll discuss about it =D

So are we going to have 2ppl in a group to get a larger number of groups? Also how are we picking teams? I don't want to be in gaga's team, she bites me >_>
