Topic	How many prizes can I win at the fair?
HaRRicH 09/12/19 12:34:12 AM #103:	Day six -- this is still very fun for me. I walk up and it's just Buddy and I. He smiles and bit and tells me I can't play anymore, or if I can play it's $10 a pop now. I shake it all off and hand him $5 -- I ain't got time, let's play. He can't seem to believe I have plans tonight, which I get since I'm the guy in his life who keeps coming to fairs and taking big animals at different hours of different days...but it's true and I talk theatre with him a moment. He doesn't seem to care that much about the arts. So I get two tries with my $5, and a divide in the Bottle Up community came up worth talking about here. I technically stood the bottle my very first try. HOWEVER, I did not keep the ring on the bottle when I did it -- the ring glided right off the bottle. Sometimes, Bottle Up games require you keep the ring on...and sometimes, it's not a part of the rules. This game has the ring-requirement, although barely: http://imgur.com/a/BLscODB Notice "Ring must remain on the bottle to win" is technically on the rules, although I will say having a post-it note on the otherwise-nicely printed presentation isn't very convincing as a rule. Also, I don't agree that I should lose a turn for standing a bottle without a ring on -- that's closer to a ball than a strike or a foul, in my book. Still, it's been there all week -- the rule is legitimate. And I have trained for these situations. When I practice, if I stand the bottle but can't keep the ring on, I race myself and give myself ten seconds to put the ring back on. That's a hard move in a short amount of time! I'll let somebody tell me that's against the rules the day that happens to work for me. However, my training failed to help me here because Buddy was watching the whole time and was like "One more try!" right away. Oh well, save that move for the next time I need it. I stood the bottle a second time and kept the ring on this time. Buddy goes WINNER WINNER WINNER like waaaaay too long today, and there was nobody but us. It was equal parts obnoxious to experience in the moment and hilarious to report in hindsight. He then pulls down the koala bear. I must say, it's uncomfortable to watch the game-runners jam poles into the animal butts so much to bring those prizes down. Just keep "the winner's ladder" around if you're not going to hire taller people and stop probing my prizes until they fall. I have no certainty he asked the stuffed animals for consent first. A young woman came and wanted to win a bear too. She helped me take my picture and so I told her how to do it, but she backed out and didn't play. I get it. --- O P E R A T I O N O U S T : Nominate SHEIK! https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/ssb/images/0/0d/Sheik-Victory3-SSB4.png <cite>HaRRicH posted [p:927318932] in How many p...
