It's officially one month until Christmas! Wow, time flies when you're having fun. It's so strange to think: in a month I'll be writing my "Merry Christmas" blog post. But not quite yet. Today's event was nothing to do with Christmas. It was run by myself, Li, based on a kids games show, Trapped. In the show, six people are taken to the top of a tower. They complete challenges and on each challenge one person is the saboteur. They try to make the team fail. If the team fails, they vote for who they thought the saboteur was, and the person with the most votes is out. If the team wins, the saboteur is out anyway. Since our larger numbers, we had more than one saboteur each round! The team entered the tower... And the challenges began. The first challenge was to find Louisa Bluepie & Caitlin Lightlake hidden around SGEC. Our saboteurs, Becca, Eba & Alli, did their best to stop the team finding them, but it was all over just seconds before the timer! All three were, therefore, out of the game. The next challenge was to find the number plate with 1959 in. Dais, Leah & Brit were in charge of stopping FR from finding it. However, it turns out that FR are either nerds or cheated (and I think we all know which one is more likely) and Willz found the number plate right as the timer went off. Saboteurs once again, lost the game. Now testing their knowledge, they did a quiz about FR. When was I almost removed? Who made the uniform? FR lost this round with 3 wrong questions thanks to our two amazing saboteurs: Dotty & Ana. The team then voted for who they thought the saboteur was. Dotty & Ana didn't even get one vote! Instead, Sab got three and Liz got 2, with a few others getting 1. Sab & Liz were out. Now we headed to Moorland. The next game: tricking two players to come to ML paddock (respecting our fellow players at all times, of course). The saboteurs were Amby, Dotty (again), Kate and Ter. However, FR managed to pass the challenge so all four were out. Due to Dotty doing such a good job, I used my wild card (that I made up on the spot) to bring her back into the game. And so they battled it out in the final round. They were asked questions about the game. Who was out on the first round? Which answer had no votes on question 3? Dotty claimed the first answer, but Ana raced ahead and claimed the next three - making her the winner. Well done Ana! Thanks all for coming & helping out once you were out of the game. I hope to see you at events next week. Oh, hold on, none are planned... We have made a new event submission so if you want to run an event, here is your chance. If you have mailed me before about running an event and haven't run it yet, please fill it out on the form. Hugs, Li xxx

Hello! Long time: no posts. Lots of my social medias have been a bit dead, stuff just happened. But it's all coming back now as I write about an Autumn event. I feel so bad to have missed over a month of blog posts and in that time we've had two open events. I know some people really like having their photo up when they join, so here are the people who joined (with the leadership team) at the last two open events. Anyway, so onto the event. The event hosted tonight was an Autumn event done by Leah Bravestream. Everyone dressed in their Autumn clothes with a couple of members showing off their new arabians (which I personally hate and think should be banned at all events, but some you win and most you lose, right?). After an... eventful start (which involved removing Cait as a joke but for some reason she could still talk on club chat after being removed), we got onto the event. Everyone ditched their horses around the fence and went to the middle to wait for Leah to explain what was happening. In FR, we like to be creative with the ways that we wait... The game was musical horses, the SSO version of musical chairs. Everyone ran around in a circle: And when Leah said go, they ran to any horse that wasn't their own. Only one person per horse was allowed and there was always at least one more person than horse. People that didn't find a horse, were out and formed a massive mess waiting for the winners to be crowned: After an intense final, the winners were Louisa Bluepie, Sabrina Nightborn and Willow Sparrowsmith. Everyone gathered back into the middle for an explanation of the last game. In the last game, in small groups, Leah would hide and then send a photo of the map over Skype. The first one to find her won! Thanks for a fantastic event everyone! I hope to see y'all at the medieval event tomorrow.
Hugs, Li xx P.s. I think that, as it's the 11th of November, I should add a little note about the soldiers who have given their lives to war. Personally, I think war is pointless. In my opinion, people should refuse to fight, to kill, and so the political leaders would have no pawns to play with. But we don't live in a world like that so I really do give my love to everyone whose lives were lost or who has lost a loved one or lost anything really to the absolute horror of war. Despite how much I disagree with war, everyone can spend at least a moment thinking about the brave men and women who gave their lives for what they, or at least their country, believed in. I'm so thankful that I have never been involved with anything like that and I can only hope thank I won't ever be. Thanks for reading. |
