Before the collectivist cliques chortle be aware I am using the word idiot in its original Greek sense as in those who do not wish to take part in a shared public lifestyle.

Yes it's time to do another solo challenge!

When: The Ides of March of course - 3/15 4-7pm Central
Who: All who can and will play a block of games with no assistance either human or otherwise - individuals
Where: A BT location of your choice where such play is feasible
Why: Competition for no real reason. The idiopathic imbroglio.
What: Usual rules. Play all 6 CD games solo one handle as designate for individual game and overall recognition if you win
How: PM me or post here with handle you will use and home bar (you don't need to play there, I just need to know how to find you to scrape the scores). Please pass along to any potentially interested parties you may know who do not visit the site. Thank you.

Shoot, I thought you were organizing a solo bash somewhere near Evansville Indiana.

Nah then I'd have to use "idiots" in its normal sense :twisted: Some exceptions exist of course but this is not a trivia powerhouse I'm afraid

You had me at "idiot"--whatever the context or root.

I'm in.

Somebody has to take last place, and I'm always game for a butt-whuppin'

Assume I'll be playing at Boston Pizza Beddington; that seems to be where the Rembrandts group shall migrate

Hmmm... I think I'm in! I'll be at Espresso in Gloucester.

tay -- I used to play at Grumpy's about 20 years ago, when I lived in Milford. I stopped in there a couple of years ago, and they had long ago dropped NTN -- but the bartender still remembered my name and what I drank... not bad after more than 10 years away...

Uno's was built while I lived there -- I only played there once or twice.

My original handle was GEODUK -- so if you remember me, remind me who you are!

shameless kick for folks who may have missed this initially. Remember to pass on to non-visitors to this site who may be interested. Anybody who knows old solo competition standards like PMAN, N JUNG etc is especially encouraged to extend the invite.

I've sent a Facebook message to PMAN

EDIT: PMAN has accepted. His home site is Overtime Sports Café: http://www.buzztime.com/site/9445

And I've talked EBT into this, assuming his schedule remains clear and he remembers to show up and play

His account is still linked to Melrose Café (which dropped Buzztime around four years ago): http://www.buzztime.com/profile?pid=7276

Thanks much Pengwn - great work

Incidentally I will be leaving for a trip to the Philippines the morning after this about 9:30. I'll only be able to scrape those whose bars report out efficiently and have the scores updated before I leave. I'll catch the stragglers the following weekend.

Got another one! GODOT will venture out to the BWW on MacLeod Trail, which is a little closer to home than his "home" location these days

I did not put it together when I first replied, but we are beginning our St. Patrick's festivities on Saturday, so there will be live music and shitloads of people at Stewart's. Even if I could get out early as I'd planned (which I cannot), I think it would be impossible to play. I regrettably remove myself from the list. On the bright side for me, there will be some Midleton Very Rare. Have fun!

I'm in. I haven't done one of these in a while. I'll be solo at Mezzanine on Saturday afternoon.

Thanks again Pengwn - you get the evangelist award regardless of score. Will see you all Saturday. Metaphorically speaking that is.

As it turns out, my home bar will be held hostage by marauding hordes of faux Irish on Saturday and I don't have a reliable alternative. Good play to all.

Looks like i won't be able to play. I'm in Eau Claire, two hours North of La Crosse, and I'll be coming home during the first part of the event.

TIEFLY takes top honors followed by me then MEGUMI, who also won the most individual games (2). D MOB takes the nod for highest score, with yours truly the only other to break 14000.

If I missed or erred it will need to wait a week before I fix it I'm afraid. Enjoy!

Found 'em...

12,283
14,161
12,091
13,151
12,062
11,369

Average:
12,520

The pattern is clear: loosening up with beer during first round, followed by relaxed playing and a good score, then the dreaded Food Handicap, score rises a bit when the meal is done, and then beer takes its toll.
