ZHPMafia Reunion 2013 Road Rally Rules, tips, and clues - May 18th, 2013

[danewilson77]

Just to preface this years Road Rally a bit:

This Road Rally will give the participant a wonderful tour of the City of Williamsburg, VA.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You will embark on an epic journey to outwit, outplay, and outlast your opponents to achieve the Ultimate ZHPMafia Family Reunion Prize and stature among your peers.

You will be instructed through, clues, hints and witty adverbages to 6 locations in the city of Williamsburg. At some of these locations, you may be instructed to buy a small token (will be specified), or acquire a trinkit (Again, will be specified) to prove your presence at said spot.

Each team must report at the finish line with all items, accurately gathered. The first 3 teams to return with all items will win prizes (1st prize will be better than 2nd, and 2nd better than 3rd). There is no time limit, though according to the agenda you may be late to the next event, should your wit and intelligence fail you.

I may be posting clues in this thread leading up to the event, that may prove useful to you, so please be attentive to this thread, if you are attending the meet.

The Road Rally will occur on Saturday, May 18th, 2013 @ 0930 (After Cars and Coffee) and will start from Bellissimo Pizza Cafe > 6614 Mooretown Rd, Williamsburg, VA 23188.

Please be respectful of all posted speed limits and traffic signs, and be safe. This is paramount as I don't want this turning into a black eye for our community.

Specific Adventurers Package and instructions will be distributed just prior to the event.

First hint: Have a Smartphone capable of internet browsing, GPS, etc. Cell phones will definitely be a good tool tool to utilize during this epic journey.

Second Hint: Research and find out what I do as my second job, and the location. It has been posted on the forum several times. Please do not share your conclusions here, as that would be counterproductive to you winning.

Remember: Outplay, outwit, outlast!

Vive La Mafia!!!

Hmmm, I have homefield advantage. :p

Now that you've drawn my attention to that fact (otherwise I might not have caught that), I will have to construct the journey so living here would not give an unfair advantage.

Thanks for the heads up John.

Decisions, decisions, do I drive and let my tech saavy driver-in-training (2nd son) navigate & work his fancy smartphone or do I navigate, fumble around on the stupid phone & let him drive.

You better just bring your big person diapers, so you can stay in the car.

I'll be roaming at $30/MB. This isn't fair. :rofl

[brettbimmer]

So can we form teams of 2? 3? 4? 5? ...Maybe a spare team member in the trunk? :shift :p

Holy freakin' hell, this is the greatest idea ever. Super excited... Would love to have a teammate or partner in this, but I have often been told I'm one of the most proficient multi-taskers behind the wheel. Not that its a good thing... I foresee lots of side of the road browsing...

Unlimited data here too... Bring it!

Where's that lady from Houston, maybe she'll spot me her astronaut diapers, she doesn't need them anymore in prison...

[johnrando]

Unlimited data, 4G here. Happy to ride/help with the winning car, no prize necessary! :)

LOL, no worries on the smoke screen popping the cel. I spoke with Q a short while ago, and he has a few other "custom" mods which may he helpful - (ejection seat, rockets behind the lights, invisibility cloak, etc. just to name a few). It that doesn't work, we've always got the stash of banana peels! :drevil

I heard this exact line from more than one person.

Big kudos to DW for the awesome job he did hatching the plan and setting it up.

Obviously enough seconds for us to check in, verify the win, and still get seated with pizza and a cold, celebratory Yeung!

[johnrando]

Yup. When we passed you on going the other way on that road to the State Park we weren't that far behind. Which means.... :shifty :biggrin

[Strider]

I cost our team 20 minutes by going to a wrong location. Otherwise we would have been in the mix for top dog. Holt tried like heck to get us to stop and talk to the hot blonde park ranger intern.

I still maintain that you cheated. Having Natural Brown gives you an unfair advantage.
