Re: Airplanes. Airplanes everywhere!
It was literally a barrage of paper airplanes coming in down on the floor, most from nearby that were rather poorly crafted and did not fly well at all. I was hit probably a dozen times, and I was taking cover near the wall. I thought it was rather rude and unprofessional to essentially be throwing trash in the venue prior to a grand event like the opening ceremonies. Do they do this at the Olympics? Then again, our game involves an element of the alliances throwing trash at each other...
And then there were flying saucers. Yes, plates being thrown like Frisbees. And then, the Air Force guy encouraged everyone to make and throw an airplane... I will be honest and say though, I was mildly amused by the couple that made it all the way to the big screen on the stage, and they seemed to catch Dean and Woodie's attention (in some way, not sure which) too. Perhaps we ought to have a one-time airplane contest on one of the days, and ban them the rest of the time. |

Re: Airplanes. Airplanes everywhere!
Let's see - they kick everyone out of the pits at 5:30 sharp, and then rather than starting the ceremony on time at 6:00, the actual starting time gets dragged out till almost 6:30.
What do they expect thousands of idle engineering hands to do in the meantime?!?!:) :rolleyes: |
Re: Airplanes. Airplanes everywhere!
Watching all the airplanes launch was literally the coolest thing ever.

Until you cant watch them because you got hit in the eye by a rouge airplane. I was in the seats, I don't feel like I need to wear safety glasses in the seats :( |

I've made my opinion known about the "safety concerns" (or lack of) regarding paper airplanes in the past. I stand by them. Quote:

Re: Airplanes. Airplanes everywhere!
Ever get the feeling that the human player throwing noodles in this years game is a response to the paper airplanes last year?

Paper airplanes, on the other hand... ain't nobody gonna know they're comin' from the venue side, or at least that's what you should expect. |
Re: Airplanes. Airplanes everywhere!
I had a professor in college once who said that you don't pour sidewalks where you prefer but where the grass is already gone. In other words you sometimes go with the flow even if you don't get it - human engineering.
I understand people who don't agree with the paper airplanes. Personally I think calling the throwers rude is a step too far. And are they all that dangerous, really? Plus the level of effort to pick them up is not all that crazy, nowhere near the effort to clean bathrooms etc. The airplanes are good clean, if justifiably annoying to some, fun. Perhaps we should go with the flow and ask people to throw them at the same time? Or make a contest out of it? |
