CASA Camporee 2024
2024-10-18 to 2024-10-20 at Camp ChesebroughLike last year but the weather is sane.
Kim's game
4 people memorize 50 items in 30 seconds then write them downAn absymal failure. Memory was trash. Writing was too slow to write down everything remembered.
Archery
An absymal failure. Victory is impossible against a guy who calls himself the best shot in Wente.
Minefield
Crawl through a thing, collecting stuff and avoiding obstaclesAn abysmal failure. No one knows mandarin. One of the victims sees the stuff on the right and proceeds to go left.
Cooking
An abysmal failure. Judges are biased frfr
Rock climbing
Climb a wall, scored on speedAn abysmal failure. No one in this troop knows how to climb.
Chinese Calligraphy
Hear a word, write it one person per strokeAn abysmal failure. One patrol didn't hear the correct word. One patrol didn't know the word. One patrol wrote the word wrong.
Firebuilding
An abysmal failure. Every camporee uses matches, except this one. One guy knew how to use flint and steel effectively, patrol got first place. Everyone else failed to start the fire.
First aid
Answer questions, move a personAn absymal failure. One patrol waited in line only to have patrol events end. Another actually did it, didn't go well.
Catapult
Build a catapult, scored on accuracyAn absymal failure. Lack of materials at beginning, poor lashing quality cuz ropes too long or short, shitty catapult design, slow building, no accuracy, no consistency, no range, constant need for maintenance, and messy lashings and knots.
Competition also had more materials than our sticks and ropes. Must bring gunpowder next time.
- Elastics, much easier to build, aim, and fire than rope
- Decent containers, stabler and more consistent
- Octagonal sticks, less slippery than circular sticks
Our design was two A frames tied together by some unholy mess of a tripod lashing. The launcher was a long stick attached to the tripod/A frame by some man made horror beyond comprehension. The container was a loose round lashing. This shit was the first (excluding the ones with illegal materials) to be competed and fire, precisely hitting a tree across the building area.
Jump rope
An abysmal failure. A certain someone messed up. Went from crushing the dreams of our opposition failing at 2 jumps.
Relay
An abysmal failure. Had to wait hours for some other troop to finish. Didn't get first place.
Skit
An abysmal failure. Only one out of three patrols could present their skits. The skit didn't outdo last year's Bing Wong.
A lonely peasant tries to sell rickshaw to Genghis Khan, Marco Polo, Bing Huang, and King Edward the 5th. Much improvisation. Narrator: Welcome back to another season of Shark Tank today we will be interviewing peasant!!!! Peasant: [I am] selling an automatic rickshaw:DDDDD. Genghis: What does this automatic rickshaw do? Peasant: Hop on gang 😀 *someone hops on rickshaw* Peasant: it also protects you from bandits Peasant: People are spending billions of gold bars on traveling the Silk Road 😀. You get like 50% royalty 😀 (investor's cut per sale) Genghis: Oh nah you get 5 rupee and 10% royalty and 30% equality said you bum Peasant: Man flip you 5% leave it or take it and i want a sand which Marco Polo: (being useless ah) Hmm how would this automatic rickshaw benefit people Peasant: It helps people travel the silk road👍 Bing Huang: kiI still don't understand how it would help people, eating and touching big mustache Peasant: Just take the offer on gang bru King Edward the 5th: Okay! Genghis Khan buys for XXXX price and 10% royalty. Investors check out the automatic rickshaw. The rickshaw turns out to be just some guy in disguise. The peasant and rickshaw take the money and run off.
