the bucket game

so who challenged/got challenged for the bucket? how many times did you have it and for how long? I had it like 3 times but only for about 5 seconds before one of the other teams would challenge me. The people like tackling each other for it kind of amused me...its a game come on lol

I had the bucket several times throughout the three days. We kept posession of the Alchemist Barrel all three days. XD

The game got kind of less fun by the end though. People got all cranky and were screaming "You can't run!" or "That's not how you play!" and many of them hadn't been in it as long as we had. (We'd participated from day 1, new people joined on the last day)

Half the fun was running, even if it was tiring. And I am not the most physically built person, so I can only sprint for so long. But if you didn't run, then the people who lost the challenge would just stalk you until their ten minutes was up. You had to run to lose them.

But... Shinigami won! Yay! XD

I had the shinigami barrel for a few minutes, was challenged, won those challenges, grabbed the barrel, ran with my matsumoto counterpart, got in trouble with security for running, got challenged by kisame and others, lost it. Oh, and i love run-on sentences.

P.S: I was with the Shinigami's whom won, not the other group of 'em.

I was with the Urahara who delivered the Alchemist barrel when he delivered it, so he told me when they let him know who won. Then they announced it at cosplay chess.

I had posession of each of the barrels at least once. I ran all over the convention center with them. At one point I got the ninja barrel from the ninjas and got it from the 2nd floor right, to the 3rd floor left, and then down the the first floor in the middle before I got caught. ^_^'

I was in the Masquerade HQ speaking with Putrocca and then as soon as I was done, the Naruto who's made an appearance at Main Events for like 3 years in a row now walked in to speak with her, but he was also carrying the Pirate Barrel. He had apparently won like 10 times in a row. I challnged him for the heck of it and won the barrel for the Alchemists. Not even 1 second later, someone else challenged me and took it. I think it was a Shinigami, but I can't remember. It was the only time I had a barrel. As I was about to show up for Chess rehearsal, I saw a couple barrel holders sprinting towards the door, but there was like a dozen ninjas and shinigami. I figured I would just challenge at the last minute since time was just about up, but I lost sadly.

I'm pretty sure that was the Naruto I was with at the time, although I could be wrong. Was he with a Naota?

He had just won so many times in a row, it was awesome.

I had every barrel for at least alittle while, my group at one point had 3. by far I had the Alchemist one the most and actually ended up turning it in on sunday, you may have seen me on stage at the chess game. *flexes his 1st Division Commander title*

P.S. I was Urahara Kisuke

Yeah, that was me. That was a crazy streak, I single-handedly fought off an entire pack of cosplayers following me.

Yeah, you did fight off a lot, and then you basically walked right up to me and handed it over.

Unfortunately, whenever I had a barrel, it didn't last for long... But that's what we had Urahara for! *points at Bankai Billy's 1st Division Commander title*

[color:red]All I know is that I had to have had at least twenty points to my name on the ninja barrel.

I think the group I hung out with might've set a record or something, for keeping the barrel for a long period of time.

I got it on Friday, from about 8:30/8:45am until about 11:30am, where the ninja/shinigami war really started. Then I got the barrel back around 11:30pm on Friday night, and had it until 8:00am on Saturday, where I handed it off so I could catch a few hours of sleep ( well, we were also kinda booted from in front of the game room, sooo... ).

After that, it was just a few points here and there, and I never had possession of it for very long after that.

Was definitely a lot of fun, though. ^_^[/color]
