I think the Nivlacball has been claimed and is currently in transit, if Strava is any indication

SCORE

Tim the Enchanter is angry. Tim the Enchanter is wrathful. Tim the Enchanter needs cookies!

People are losing the Calvinballs! Worst yet, Tim has to somehow divine scores out of this mess.

FXBOOKS
5 for the find
I think this is FXBOOKS first find so FXBOOKS gets 15 additional find points
Tim conjured his very best magic ~ nevertheless he could not Metamorphmagus a cat into a dog. Dilly Dilly. If you want points for felines, you must draft that ordinance (yes – Tim derives most of his power from Cerberus)
FXBOOKS moved the Nivlacball from the Realm that no one cares about – to Arlington. 3 points.
FXBOOKS is awarded 23 points

“Look, you’re a busy man…”

I just don’t have the free time to play this game, envious though that makes me, but I wanted to make one comment and go away: I am really enjoying following along at work. Carry on.

The new Calvinball is this puzzle, made by an evil medieval ironsmith:

[ATTACH=CONFIG]16549[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]16550[/ATTACH]

It is being held in this bag
[ATTACH=CONFIG]16551[/ATTACH]

Ordinance: If Calvinball finder is ableth to solveth the iron puzzle (by posting photos of it apart and then backeth together, as above), solver shall be awarded 10 additional points and may replaceth Calvinball if desireth. If unable to solve, then iron puzzle shall remaineth Calvinball until another finder is able to solve.

Haiku in next post.

Cleric: And Saint Attila raised the Calvinball up on high, saying, ‘O Lord, bless this Thy Calvinball that had been lost in JOY, and yet, in thy mercy, rises from the ashes – being resurrected in the Glen of Carlyn
From hence force, let this sacred ball be known as the Phoenixball;
And the Lord did grin, and the people did feast upon the lambs, and sloths, and carp, and anchovies, and orangutans, and breakfast cereals, and fruit bats, and large chu —
Brother Maynard: Skip a bit, Brother.

Cleric: Right…. Tim the Enchanter…. having fallen behind in his accounting obligations and most likely imprisoned in Castle Anthrax… is, er, pre occupied. So we, the keepers of the Holy Hand Grenade, shall divine the score

SCORE
CBGanimal
For losing the Phoenixball in the land of JOY – shall be banished to Castle of Guy de Lombard.
Her new ordinance that everyone is to bring Tim the Enchanter cookies is enacted as sacred law.
5 Points for “great swag”
10 Points for a picture of some beast
CBGanimal acquired the Calvinball in Alexandria and hid the Phoenixball in Arlington – 3 points for crossing county lines
And drinking Makers Mark first thing in the morning is probably what got us in this mess in the first place. – 10 points
For authoring the myth of the Phoenixball, CBGanimal is awarded 33 points

SteveO
The pilgrim who be not playing Freezing Saddles then unearthed the Phoenixball next. Whereupon the pilgrim hid the Phoenixball in what we take to be his own apartment. What manner of dark magic be this we are uncertain but we know, as it is written in the Third Book of Antioch, that his soul shall suffer a millenium of molten rock from the mountain of Vulcan.
5 points for the find
His ordinance lacks the requisite three likes – Dilly Dilly
He did not stoop to once again posting a picture of a beast – Dilly Dilly
The puzzle itself looks like cool swag – 5 points
Placing the Phoenixball in your own apartment or whereever does not constitute crossing a realm’s borders – dilly dilly
SteveO get’s 3 enchanted points for an excellent hide
SteveO is awarded 13 points

Amen

Forgive me Tim for I have sinned. I have neglected to hide the Calvinball for many days, but now the deed is done. How shall a simple pilgrim be forgiven?

Clue:
Boundary stone Northwest
The product of two and three
In the dense thicket

There’s a consumable so consider consuming on premises. Also, the ball has moved from Virginia to Maryland (albeit very close to DC). As the beginning of my penance, I will not include a proposed ordinance, for I am not worthy.
