You've seen a lot of our ideas that were accepted for BLE activities...such as the BLE Night Out on the Town, the Air Cannon challenges, the Tri-Athalon, and several other tournament ideas that we've embraced.
I thought some of you might enjoy taking a look behind the scenes...to see some of the ideas that HAVEN'T made it, for whatever reason. Maybe we decided there wasn't the time. Maybe we decided there wasn't the funding. Maybe we decided we'd rather eat chicken sandwiches than talk about it. For whatever reason, here is a small sample of ideas that didn't make it.
---
Having a Super Soaker squirt gun at the event instead of an Air Cannon. "HAHA, GOTCHYA!"
A tournament to see who could juggle the most lcd displays.
Random "you owe us more money" drawings, the winners of which would be expected to pay us $200.
Putting all the computers in a circle, building a camp fire at the center, and singing songs together while holding hands and roasting marshmellows.
A 4 hour lecture on how first person shooters train people to be serial killers.
Contest to determine who is the fastest Pop Up Blocker. (Tested by loading up a special virus that brings forth pop up attacks)
Hooking up the projector to my computer to show everyone in life-size detail the treasures that can be found in my shared folder, "DiscoDave's Pr0n Palace".
A tournament to see who can fdisk their primary hard drive first.
Best death threat sent to president@whitehouse.gov
Imaginary deathmatch...where everyone closes their eyes and, without computers, pretends they're playing RVS. Winner gets $1000.
"Guess Duke Nukem's Release Date". Winner gets $100,000,000,000,000,000.
A private strip show given by Janet Reno.
And finally...a prize for the person who shorts out the building's circuit the most times.
