Reflection on Snow Day Started by: BlackJack on Dec 29, '13 12:00

​Everybody gathers around out the front of BlackJack's shoe shop in Corktown, DT waiting for BlackJack to address the crowd.

 

BlackJack allows the last of the snowballs to be thrown before stepping up onto his soapbox to begin is speech:

 

Dear fellow MR members,

I have gathered you all here to day in order to reflect on our recent snowball fight. I for one have had a great time over the last 24 hours pelting snowballs at my friends and foes. I have also used it as an opportunity to meet some of you who I have not met before.

During the snowball fight there were several memorable moments for us all, including intense 1v1 battles as well as fierce snow team battles. I hope that everybody can share their experiences with each other at this gathering and discuss some of the tactics that were used on both an individual and a team basis.

Early on in the piece I formed a squad known as BlackSnow. This squad was made up of many members from many different districts and cities. BlackSnow as a team moved swiftly in and out of the districts of Detroit tearing through any snowballers who got in the way. They acted smoothly in ensuring that they covered each other. We found that the best technique was to pair up 2 attackers to each target. This allowed missed shots to occur while not allowing the targets S timer to reset.

Individually, in order to reduce the time i spent getting gang banged and to decrease the amount of hit i took I chose to not allow my warmth level to go above 10%. This meant that if a squad got the jump on me they could only hit me a maximum number of 10 times before i had the opportunity to warm back up and hit them in my own time. I found that this helped me out a great deal. I also threw in excess of 30 jail breaks in DT to replenish my snowballs and the snowballs of everyone playing.

Now please, I invite you all to share your strategies and critique mine.

BlackJack pauses for a brief moment as the crowd mutters and discusses amongst themselves. Once the muttering has stopped BlackJack holds up a bunch of voting slips and passes them around to the audience.

I have decided that I am wanting to give out 5 awards to members of the MR community who gave us some of the most memorable moments of the snowball fight. I have chosen the first 2 and I want you all to nominate people for the other 3 along with a detailed reason as to why they deserve the award.

Firstly, I wish to give an award to Yobssarg. Yobssarg gave a new meaning to the phrase blue balls by being hit almost 5,000 times over the last 24 hours. I for one know that I had a great time spilling my balls all over his face and wish for him to receive an award. If Yobssarg would come forward to accept the award I will happily present him with a 7 day timer package.

Secondly, I wish to give a combined award to Squishy and Enkindle. Not only did they put in an amazing amount of work in order to give us this competition but they also majorly trolled us by giving us all facials. Well done guys!

Now please, i invite you to nominate people for awards. The nominators of each winner will also receive a reward for putting them up.

BlackJack steps down off his soapbox and walks into the crowd, shaking peoples hands and laughing at the great time and amazing stories that have come out of the last 24 hours.

Coroner steps out from the coffee shop and sees a man surrounded by a small crowd.  He walks over and listens in. The man hands him a slip, finishes and starts to walk away with his Soapbox under arm.

I would like to see Lopez nominated. This young man was out in the cold for 24 hours, He must have had a lot of hot coco because how he avoided major frostbite is beyond imagination.  I do Imagine he will immediately require Tommy John surgery from the amount of Snowballs he tossed.

Assassin comes to the streets and hears BlackJack ask a good question. he takes a second and reflects and then steps up to speak his mind.

As for the 1 vs 1 battles, Me and my RHM Rayden had some pretty intense battles and she had a couple of intense battles with Kassadin herself.  I personally had the greatest 1 on 1 battle with Anarchy as everytime we saw each other, we just started going at it, pelting each other with snowballs. Another 1 on 1 battle i really enjoyed was teh one i had with Ares, as hitting him with some snowballs got me a lot of stat boosts.  The team battles didnt start for me until after me and Deadpool linked up in PH and we took turns refreshing on The-Crow , Lopez and Pitt. Honestly, if i could sit here all day discussing this, but the truth of the matter is I had so much fun and have so many things that stand out I would be here all night writing. 

 

I hope that everyone here had a good Christmas and continue to enjoy the holidays as new years is rapidly approaching, i wish everyone a happy new year also.

 

Assassin steps off the soap box and goes back to what he was doing before. He reaches into his pocket as he is leaving and pulls out a cigar and lights it.

Yobssarg drives into the streets in a snowplow honking his horn grabbing the attention of his fellow mafiosos. He parks up beside the soapbox and steps up.

I am a man of few words.

Yobssarg walks over to shake Blackjack's hand, he accepts his award and hops back into the snowplow honking once more and waving as he drives off.

Zinner went around on the streets and heard BlackJacks words. She thought of the questions he had asked and pondered about it for a few minutes and listened to what the others said. 
She had not been in the snowball fight the entire time it was going on, but she had been in for a few hours and it had been pretty fun.

"I was in on the snowball fight and it was pretty fun. Even if I wasn´t in it for a long time. I really didn´t have a special tactic at this, but only to throw as many snowballs as I could at the time I was online, and I did have some trouble when I was attacked by the same person almost 30 times within a few minutes. And that was pretty frustrating, but that was also the way of the fight and even if I got frustrated and kinf of mad it was fun. I don´t think I´ve had this much fun in a long time and I too got in almost 30 snowballs at the same person so I did get my revenge.
And even though the person I want to nominate isn´t a friend of mine I think that his way of hitting me with snowballs and taking the revenge so well I want to nominate PriestVallon. He showed real sportmanship and gave me a run for my snowballs."

Zinner stops talking and looks back at BlackJack and out over the crowd.

Cookie Monster steps out from the ally in New York bustling downtown to kicking the snow out from in front of him and buttoning up his trench coat as he trudges through the snow towards the crowd.

 

I was deep in the fighting of snowballs it was a very joyful moment for my first time in a snowball fight.  Something I will never forget and an event like no other that I have ever seen.  The factor of multiple people ganging up on you was intense and having to drink was so much fun.  I found myself running away often to get warm and come back on the attack.  Extremely fun and had me up all hours getting more snowballs.

 

Slips away from the crowd again unnoticed as he wanders back into the ally and disappears behind the shadows.
