10 points + 5 points + 2 points = 17 pointsDARE THEE QUESTION TIM?!?!?? My spreadsheets are mystical. They have been concocted with 12 souls of unemployed english majors. I use the finest eye of newt imported from newark!!!
(oops. Couple of scoring errors. I see it. Will fix the algorithims. This is why nothing should be left to AI).
As for ordinances, well… we all know the prob of regs that lack enforcement clauses. Good ordinance are if / then statements.
REVISED SCORES
CBGanimal was cheated out of 5 points by the Russians. Her revised score is 22SteveO was also cheated out of 5 points. But SteveO dared to question Tim’s math. Therefore SteveO loses 13 points. His revised score is reduced to 17.
Let all who follow this path tremble and know that there is a really really really bad price to pay for questioning Tim the Enchanter.

New ordinance is that new Calvinballs must be put into play at least 1 mile from the previous one.

ParticipantThere are two clues! The Calvinball is NOT the key. The Calvinball is released by the key to prevent interlopers (and add some complexity). The still in play Calvinball is at Follin lane intersection as shown in first image. Do you still have the key? If not let me know and I will reset the calvinball.

Damn! I have the key and I know EXACTLY what it unlocks.
Please tell me I don’t have to carry that thing back, ’cause if you do, I’m going to throw away the key and create a new weight restrictive ordinance!

If the “Thing” had the Calvinball sticker with the QR on it then you were right there. If you don’t want it I will understand. Please put the key with the Calvinball, let us know and it will pass on to someone else. I don’t have another key.
As this Calvinball is still in play, and as such is still the One and True Calvinball (of the moment) I don’t think you have been anointed the finders power to create rules just yet. That is still My right. You will have to properly* retreve the One and True Calvin Ball first! Muhhhaahahha!

ParticipantI had originally found the 2-ton Calvinball, but didn’t fully unwrap it from the plastic bag so I hadn’t seen the Calvinball sticker. I mean, what fool would create a Calvinball *that* heavy?!?!?!?!? But I went back out and brought it all back, including the plastic bag.

Now that I have the Calvinball, I’m calling my premature entry now valid.

ParticipantSCORING
Vicegrip
Vicegrip’s new ordinance received three likes. Hey ConsularRider and Andy – this means yousse guys can now play the game. 5 points.
Vicegrip being a total sneak did not post a picture of the new Calvinball – so dilly dilly for that.
Vicegrip captured all five points for the find. – 5 points.
However – Vicegrip placed the Calvinball outside of the beltway before his new ordinance was codified. Vicegrip must learn to OBEY Tim the Enchanter. Therefore Vicegrip gets bupkus. Dilly Dilly. Nada. NOTHING. DO YOU HEAR ME!Hey…. did you know that Vicegrip once took this really cool Raleigh bike frame – and cut it down and welded it into a walking cane for a member of the forum who crashed and busted his butt? I mean this thing was SOOOOO COOOL! For this – Vicegrip is awarded 20 points.
Reji
Reji’s new ordinance got three likes and is now the law of the land. 5 points. Once again Reji did not tell Tim what to do about (non)compliance, sooooooooo……
Reji also decided not to divulge the appearance of her new Calvinball – I but assume it was not the same Calvinball as Vicegrip’s. Maybe it was. Who knows. Dilly Dilly.
Reji gets all the find points. 5 points.
According to Josh’s photo, the swag Reji hid with her Calvinball was a flight of beer from Caboose. Most excellent. 5 extra points.
Reji is awarded 15 points.I am Tim. I am capricious.
I bet none of you know what ‘Tim’ this is.
