ParticipantThe NivlacBall is now hidden
In the land of crystal bidden
Close to the overpass
Where travel can be first class
They’ve laid new workout equipment
And volleyball is intermittentIn the vines and brush
Behind this pull and push
This swag you’ll find

ParticipantTim almighty Tim!
Walked on water to save the NivlacBall from drowning…where steveO left it…
I hid the ball within 24 hours…(ok barely)
I consumed the swag on the spot…see chocolate coma below
My dog picture
Went from Fairfax to Arlington…but thru DC!
Defiantly cool swag!
One hamster wheel
I had cookies for you but your flyby past me at Columbia Pike on WOD was lightning speed today!
My Ordinance: if you do hamster laps with panniers and a commuter bike…while getting funny looks from speedy Lycra racers you should get triple points!

I searched for the Phoenixball, but all I found were some lousy deer. Someone must have beat me to it!

ParticipantPhoenix Ball
Whilst riding my broom.
I got there too soon.
To allow Sarah Bee to find it.
So it came on a quest.
To head further west.
Now under a faux train bridge you’ll find it.[ATTACH=CONFIG]16781[/ATTACH]
Need more of a clue?
Maybe this will do.
Those who like bike camping might find it.
But if you commute
By that CCT route.
Perhaps YOU will pause in your transit.[ATTACH=CONFIG]16782[/ATTACH]
I tell you, don’t stray
Down to the quay
On a rainy day your feet need not get muddy.
But from your bike you must alight
And go down one flight
Beneath a few leaves you will find it.New Ordinance: Next hider of the Phoenix Ball must place it secure in the third realm to bring Stryke’s spell to life.

Mtansill looks disappointed as her spell fizzles and her wand noticeably droops.
“I’ll get you, my pretty, and your little dog, too!” she adds dramatically as she flies away on her bicycle, cackling maniacally.
So this is when you claimed the Phoenixball? Sorry I’m pretty rusty on my RPG hints… silly me… should have known…

I’m afraid not. I picked it up on the way to lunch this morning, but only had time to visit the forum just now. Sorry!

I disliked CBG’s post, because I don’t like this ordinance. However, I elited it for the dog pic.

Whither the Nivlacball? – Arlington to Fairfax County (along Holmes Run Trail off Sleepy Hollow Rd. Hath Tim the Enprancer never seen the danger shark ere?)
Unbelievably awesome swag wast indeed includeth in the tuppersmith box the Nivlacmouse wast riding upon.
It seemeth unseemly to brag about ones swag, or in some cases to advertise it in advanceth. Finders may wish to document what tis they founde.
Previous copy of Bike Snob NYC wast similarly kept secret at first and awarded no points–neither for swag nor for it being a new ball, which twas, for sayme reason.Pilgrims must Delivery to the Dimension of Delusion their believed score. Tim’s sorcery reaches into the Upside-Down and detects Delusion. It is the preferred means of accounting in middle earth, as taught by demi-wizard gbain. That – or Tim has to use Turbo-Tax – which is far more evil.
That said, Pilgrim SteveO has amused with his puzzles and feats of alchemy. For this, onceth, Tim shall send the Demogorgon to the realm of the Excel Spread sheet and distort the score.
5 Points for Swag
3 Points for crossing the frontiers of provinces
New Calvinballs must be presented and receive four likes. Dilly Dilly.
Score distorted to add 8 points.But Sister CBGanimal is now Tim’s favorite, with her detailed delivery of deluded score.
Any further whining about scores is subject to the Prior Incantato Spell
