Floating Euchre Tournament - Nubblies.net Forums

Pliedes · 07-06-2003, 11:43 PM

First off, spare me the "you haven't been on nubblies" talk. I haven't heard any yet and it's already getting old.

Anyways. An idea a few of us (who it was I have no idea) came up with was to have a Euchre tournament, but this time, actually do it on Winona Lake. We have two main pontoon's, each with a card table on it. We basically do our normal eight team tournament then. We'd need at least on other boat or something to ferry players between the two (different locations on the lake for the boats, just to make it interesting).

This is just a new spin on the already beloved euchre nights, sounds fun to me, what'd'ya'll think of it though?

Oh, and it was also suggested that loser had to "walk the plank". I'm not into the piraty stuff, but I must say, it'd be pretty damn funny.

Saturday the 26th of July was suggested as the date for this shindig.

We'd also need two boats. I have my uncle's big pontoon, and hopefully we could get BDH to throw in a boat or two, and we'd be golden.

I'd play (and win)...if I was going to be there, which I'm not, due to a gathering which takes precedence.

I'll pledge myself with an "In" as well as a "I'm donating a pontoon for the shindig" as well.

wait shit, ill have to double check with swim coach i'm not sure when i leave for summer nationals in maryland, so as of now consider buckeye tenative.

Pliedes · 07-07-2003, 08:30 PM

This wasn't so much supposed to be a "yay or nay" sort of deal as it was a "lets brainstorm some ideas and make this pimp".

I think since Ugly and Orgazmo both seem to have something this day, we can definately resceduale it so most of the heavy hitters (such as themselves) can make it.

Ideas for a date? Is the sunday after that an ok idea?

Also, I'm glad to hear BDH can supply the other pontoon.

Yes, I do believe there is a birthday party that day that I will need to attend. The idea sounds pretty good though, but would it really ever happen? I give it a 20% chance, if that, of it ever actually happening. First off, people wouldn't be able to just come and go which tends to happen at the touraments. Also, it would probably get a little cramped after a while.

Care to make a wager on that?

Well, you actually can come and go to some extent, that was the point of the third boat. Which actually could even be accomplished by a jet ski. Sure you can't just get up and leave, but you are out on the lake on a sunny day with a bunch of your friends, what would really be much better? (and if you're going to say "my girlfriend", then bring her along, it's a good excuse to get her to wear next to nothing).

Mr. Hodge has given a yes, with a tentative yes for a female playing partner.

For now, let's say it's definately Sunday the 27th.

buckeye · 07-09-2003, 03:51 AM

well ill be out of town that day, sorry to inform you but i will not be attending.

Combat Chuck · 07-09-2003, 09:01 PM

I'll be there, as long as it's not on the 26th. Or any time where I work. But I'll get that off if you give me a date in advance. Is it going to be on that Sunday indefinitely? Anyway, all I know is, I'll be doing alot of walking the plank. First time will be because I lost, the remaining times will be because it sounds like fun.

Unless there are sharks. Then I'm out.

Apparently I'm going to have some college thing on Sunday late-afternoon/night. So unless we can start this earlier, we should probably move it. Of course we should anyways since no one has really confirmed anything.

Ugly Bastard · 07-21-2003, 07:02 PM

pliedes-

Thanks for letting us know the date has been changed. But seeing as how no one has posted in this thread for twelve days, I don't think too many people would've showed up expecting a tournament.

I doubt he'll be on anytime soon to read your reply, Ug.

Pliedes · 07-22-2003, 06:47 PM

Well I didn't actually change the date, but I agree it probably wouldn't have happened anyways.
