For
the first time in THIRTEEN YEARS of Splatmandu, our Scenario Sunday
was cancelled due to the torrential downpour accompanied by lightning.
So the day wasn't a total wash, the top Seven from each
team were allowed 10 minutes to play "Mud Tag", to determine
a portion of the team total for the day. All items gathered on
the field of play were to be returned to the Neutral Zone. If
a player was tagged by a member of the opposing team, the eliminated
player had to drop all items and return to the Neutral Zone to
tag back in. Two of the Red's Skins also were released onto the
field to keep both teams on their toes. At the end of the 10 minutes,
the KGB Ranch (Blue) gathered items totaling 370 in coins,
and the CJW Ranch (Gray) gathered items to bring in a total of
140 in coins.
In
addition, those Gamblers, Captains and Co-Captains that were interested,
met up at the house and engaged in a Texas Hold-em Tournament,
to determine the rest of the team total for the day. First place
was $3,500.00, and Second place was $1,500.00. To mix things up
a bit, one member of Ted's Reds was allowed to participate in
the Tournament. This proved to be a bit of a gamble, as Mr. John
Black, (John Rowan) and Kid Blaze (Korey Blasius) were in an epic
struggle down to the final hour of the tournament. Mr. Black was
victorious, getting three Aces to clinch the win. Kid Blaze received
the $1,500.00 for the Second Place prize, adding to the KGB Ranch
total for the month of June. See the Edge
City Epitaph for more images and story.
