NMZ News Blog http://thenmz.org/newsblog Demented and sad, yet informative Tue, 14 Feb 2012 18:57:55 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 15 and Done! http://thenmz.org/newsblog/?p=56 http://thenmz.org/newsblog/?p=56#comments Tue, 14 Feb 2012 18:57:55 +0000 The WebSlave http://thenmz.org/newsblog/?p=56 Continue reading →]]> And in our 15th year we come out in… 15th place! A total score of 13,985 hard-earned points from our lean, mean Trivia team was not what we had hoped for, but it was a satisfying enough result after fighting our way up from 28th. If ever we begin the contest in 10th, everyone else watch out!

Many thanks go out to our gracious hosts Kim and Josh, and to all who played from St. Cloud and afar. This was truly a team effort this year! Thank you!

Your humble WebSlave has been working on updating the NMZ site with 2010 contest tidbits. What’s up, you ask? Why, the 2010 Quote Board is up, and so is the brag page on our 2010 Best Challenge award, complete with all the answers to the Scavenger Hunt locations!  I’m still working on the site, though, and I’ll get the 2010 photos up at some point. By the way, if you took photos and your name isn’t Owen, I’d love to have copies of your photos to put online.  Thanks!

Again, only 10 points behind the team ahead of us… How many of those easy little questions did we miss?

Also, we came out of the contest with another Best Challenge award with the Photo Scavenger Hunt! Woot!

Look back here in the next coming weeks for photos, site updates, and the 2010 Quote Board. Zoomdweebies, if you took any photos over the weekend (I’m talking to you, Michael!), e-mail them to the WebSlave.

He has pictures, quote boards, and other goodies just sitting on the hard drive at home
