PLAYA BINGO!

[graidawg]

OK just read this in the bar and its to good to miss out on as an idea.
the typical bingo card (in britain anyway) has 20 spaces (or 25 not sure i dont play) so lets get 25 "things to do or experience at BM." each box must be marked off by someone else. points for first vertical, horizontal and diagonal. oh and of course "HOUSE"

my first idea getting someone to mark off the "first experience box" on your bingo card!

lets see if we can get say 50 ideas on here, starting from fairly easy to downright impossible/stupid.

[Lassen Forge]

One of them last year "Shot of Vodka at Kantina Apokiliptika". Serious - I poured about 2 dozen of those. Woohoo!!!.

F'N cool... we are legend.

[MisaBlue]

Ring the Bell
White Out
Temple Burn
Art Car Ride
Meet Larry...

Well, all of that I can mark as done


I would say:

Thunderdome fight
kiss complete stranger
bring MDMF to eplaya M&G - that is tuff one

[theCryptofishist]

Bike stolen
Lectured for Not Locking Bike
Groped at a Burn

[maryanimal]

Make a dust angel
find the farmer market
ride someone else's bike behind that water truck not knowing that water and playa dust make a sticky mess

[Nipple]

(I'll cop to that as my virgin mistake. I chased the water truck down on my unicycle and made my wheel about 10lbs heavier.)

[Lassen Forge]

Finding a black rock city black rock.
Propositioned by Doc Pyro (that should be easy! )
Driving an art car
Got schwag from a BLM ranger
Crossed the Deep Playa Trash Fence
Swam at Frog Pond

(Offplaya bonus - Drinks at Brunos)

[MisaBlue]

Got schwag from a BLM ranger

have a drink at Black Hole with gate crew

No, but had one at the DPW Ghetto.

Reminds me, I need to get a replacement battery and a screw back for my blinky BLM cruiser from 2005... one of my still-favorite goodies!

I would say:

Thunderdome fight

What about us wimps?

Edit: Come to think of it...this is BINGO. Duh...

Then you add this to your BINGO card:

Volunteer as a Puller in Thunderdome.

If you do it a few nights, they will give you a match with a friend - or at least they did when I did that. Secret to TD - USE THE BUNGIES.. run at your openent, launch into the air, land on their head, and start wailing...

This is Bingo! There are numerous ways to win. You can connect a whole row, or be truly hardcore and play the "Blackout" Bingo, where you cover every square.

[graidawg]

ok I am happy to run with this, I will collate the suggestions, rules and stuff get cards printed (maybe laminate them for multiple games) and obviously what you need to do for proof for each square.
so 25 suggestions for the card and prizes for each line and the whole box
I am thinking a prize for each vertical and horizontal line the 2 diagonals and a pretty good prize for the whole box.
although of course getting schwag and seeing the city makes for a good prize in itself.

how about get a badge from B.E.D.
oh idea for the prize individual t shirts.

i won an horizontal line in playa bingo at BM 2012.

[MisaBlue]

hmmm B.E.D....
hmmm win horizontal line
hmmm I am going to like that game

[graidawg]

hmmm B.E.D....
hmmm win horizontal line
hmmm I am going to like that game

misa you can get a B.E.D. prize anytime, you get an horizontal line and i'll get vertical !

The middle square should be 2hrs. MOOP patrol instead of a free space!!!

[Savannah]

Brilliant!

[NessaZee]

make all your camp mates smell like douches...and they thank you

[MOOP_Nazi]

The MOOP Nazi Brigade will be more than happy to accomodate this portion of your quest and reward a sticker of proof...

[NessaZee]

make all your camp mates smell like douches...and they thank you

hmm...that would prolly read better as 'Make a stranger smell douchey without losing their smile' .

[theCryptofishist]

Isn't it going to take more than 25? You don't want everyone to have the same card.

Or are we all filling it out on the playa like a scavenger hunt?

[Savannah]

Indeed, the same card for everyone would be a (mild) bummer. If the cards vary, more ideas can be included. We have a lot of them, and it's still early. So I vote: Many cards! Many experiences!

[FIGJAM]

Except for the middle square!

[Savannah]

You know it.

ok 2 hours of MOOPing with the nazi patrol will be on every card, also once done it will be an extra, so if you can't manage one of the numbers on your card you can get a 'free space' by giving another 2 hours of your time - however it should be more arduos and have a minimum collection amount or something. I'll leave that too moop nazi to decide if they deserve an extra sticker or not .

yes the cards will be different i'll have a master list and each card will just be numbers, teh numbers relating to tasks on the master list if i can i will make them relate to the bingo calls

say 22 = two little hours (MOOPing) or aomething like that.

eek late for work again!!!

[graidawg]

ok i have been working on this and i need a few more ideas to fill the cards, i reckon about 80 good ideas will make varation enough
