Remember Remember the 5th of November, the gunpowder treason and plot. I see no
reason the gunpowder treason should ever be forgot.

Alright, so it'll be the 6th...but that's still no reason to forget the
gunpowder treason.  Therefore, this weekend we shall be watching V for
Vendetta.  And Jackie Chan.  Because we can never forget Jackie Chan either.

PS.  If you have a Guy Fawkes mask, you should wear it.

Message-ID: <20101105195430.GA17892@hampguest79-36.hampshire.edu>

Ladies and gentlemen, time for the ritual announcement:

Deathfest is next Saturday, November 13th, in FPH, starting at 6pm in the
Main Lecture Hall.

What is Deathfest, you ask?

Well, it's Hampshire's semesterly roleplaying tournament, also
Excalibur's biggest event. 100 people playing in a pen-and-paper
role-playing game!

If you've never been, it's easy! (We use an ?ber-simplified d20
system, in case you were wondering.) We'll teach you how to play. You
need only a pencil and a competitive spirit... ("Creative morality"
and a sense of humor help, too.)

There can be only one survivor...but there are dead games, snacks, and
more for when you're eliminated, and lots of prizes will be awarded if
you do something impressive. (Some of the recurring prizes, like the
Permanent Resident Award, or the Ultimate Badass Award, are largely
self-explanatory; others, like the Benjamin Scott Hopkins Award For
Creative Morality and the Alexander Holmes Cooley Award for Leadership,
have stories behind them.)

Starts at 6 p.m. Saturday, March 6th, in FPH. Bring a pencil (and dice
if you have them). We usually run till around 2am, but if you die early,
you can always leave. But if you stay, you can play in dead games and
watch the legendary Tier III festivities.

Everyone is welcome. You don't even have to be a geek. Of course, if
you're on this mailing list, we already know what you are.

Be a lover and a fighter. We'll see you there.

-----

And two non-ritualistic announcements:

1. Due to the current low volume of preorders, we will likely *not*
place an order for Deathfest shirts and hoodies to be delivered at
Deathfest. BUT YOU CAN CHANGE THIS by sending me your orders (Ts: $15,
Hoodies: $30) in the next couple of days. If we decide not to go ahead
with the order right now, we will be taking orders at Deathfest in the
dead lounge, for delivery a week or so later. The current shirt design
will be retired after this semester, so you should order one now!

2. Remember to twitter the twitters about Deathfest using the hash tag
#deathfest!

Alright folks, it's make or break time, on the wire, down to the last
minute, do and/or die.

6PM, FPH.

Bring a pencil (or two), bring some dice (if you got 'em), bring your
unwilling friends (with the threat they'll have the most boring Saturday
night as all their friends will be at Deathfest), bring a good book for
those instances of down time, and most importantly, bring your absolutely
wonderful (this is, terrifyingly awful) sense of humor.

I cannot wait to see all you there. Ya'know...dead.

So yeah, there's no screening tonight.

Message-ID: <AANLkTikf4UhgTfDB1CHAMAf2eEAURm_tdPrxT7eddOQ5@mail.gmail.com>

Okay folks, it's time we start asking for suggestions for our Milk and
Cookies screening.

Movies from our childhood or kids movies in general, preferably something
with nostalgia.

In the *recent past* we've screened Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, The Land
Before Time, Wall-E, Muppet Treasure Island, Jumanji, Titan A.E., etc.

What has been suggested for *this semester* is: Pagemaster, Hook, and Oliver
& Company.

Send me your thoughts!  Milk and Cookies night will be *8PM, Saturday the
11th of December at the same place.*

Best,
