View Full Version : Not GP vs. GP
Simple game: I start by telling something that's not very graciously professional. The next person corrects it by giving a GP instance.
EXAMPLE:
NOT GP: Johnny pushes Mary to the floor.
GP: Johnny saves Mary's life by pushing her out of the way of a falling rafter.
Got it? Good. Here we go:
NOT GP: Johnny steals Mary's Mountain Dew.

savage301
26-10-2006, 21:35
Well I'm going to revive this thread I hope.
GP- Joe Shmoe only does this as a last resort because the driver was very ill. He competes his hardest even though the match that he is in is against his own team. And after tells the sick members team what hospital he is at.
Non GP- When the pits close on Friday John Doe sneaks into the top 5 teams pit and switches the input wire in their victors. (If anyones done this you know what I'm talking about: BOO Fire :D )

-GP:John breaks into a teams trailer and drills a hole in the top so that rain water entered into it, thus creating a wave of water that submerged the robot when opening the trailer. He then never apologized or helped pay for the damages as he never told anyone that he did it. (I came up with this on the fly! I want to see if someone can go against this! :D )
lukevanoort
27-10-2006, 18:54
GP - John is in fact a mentor on team 842, and knew the trailer had nothing in it. He drilled the hole to help test the waterproofing on their underwater ROV because the pool was closed. Afterwards he patched the hole.
non-GP - Fred's team is in the #2 spot at their regional so he 'lubricates' the #1 team's gearboxes with nitroglycerin prior to the match they have against them.
