Hi there 👋

Three first-time, wanna-be forest rulers sat down at the table. They were initially befuddled by sentences like “Birds Are Wild. You can always treat a bird card as a card of another suit”… “WTF is a bird card?!” one wanna-be lamented. Eventually, it dawned on all of them that they were playing three different games and that maybe at least one of them should have paid attention in Civics 201: Ruling a Forest in 2025. ...

Amelia Lungheart and Chuck Douglas took to the skies and then took to the ground by practicing their first landings ever over the weekend. They landed successfully twice at YUL much to the delight of the passengers (Only one of whom had food poisoning from eating the fish). The pilot, Lungheart, took the unusual approach of ensuring there was a fresh pot at all time despite that being the copilot’s job. The copilot, Douglas, managed the flaps and then flapped his gums at the air traffic control tower needlessly. He’s up for demotion in the Spring. ...

Two twitchy twitchers spent the afternoon crafting two habitats to attact flocks of birds of all shapes and sizes. Albatross Lovebird approached the task with a steady strategy a bird in every biome and an egg in every nest. She dominated the bird count and her nector collection was nect-level. Cormorant Duckford’s last minte switch to a waterfowl-centric stragety went fowl and he drowned in cards without eggs, nests, or goals to speak of. In spite of Albatross Lovebird’s lack of accomplished goals, she came out on top. Duckford’s goose was cooked by over 20 points. ...

There are 12 levels in the two-player version of The Mind. Our noble, mind-bending heroes completed 11 of them. The dramatic last life was lost at number 51. Cosmic Dove voted to use a ninja star; Ambrosia declined. She played the 52 mere seconds before Dove was able to play the 51. The final life was lost and the mind-connection broken. So close!

250 years (and two months) removed from the last mission to Mars decendents of the original Timber Trio returned to planet to reestablish their ancestor’s crumbling civilization. The legendary inventor Carmichael Walnut IV, the electrician and power baron Archibald Larch III, and Cornelius Dogwood IX the gardener set out together to again claim Mars for human kind. Did they learn the lessons of their ancestors? No not really. But they did have a grand ol’ time. ...

Chuck Wilbur stunned the crowd with a phenominal race in only their second race in Formula OSC. They drove out to an early lead and kept the pressure on the reigning champion and favorite Crash Dandyboots. A careful and considered approach to the initial lap gave way to fierce racing through the curves of the Great Britain racetrack and only after burning his engine to a crisp did Crash manage to take the win by a mere car’s length. Asked about it after the race the driver was kind of a jerk: ...

Inspired by their father’s firm’s success in lumber and lumber derivatives, Carmichael Walnut declared: “SPACE MIRRORS! Space mirrors are the future and Walnut Industries will, as it always has been, be at a forefront! Now where is space and how many trees grow there?” Archibald Larch and Cornelius Dogwood joined the ill-fated, generational mission to Mars. The trio, widely known as the Timber Trio, after successfully made the surface livable after nearly 15 generations. ...

A two match tournament over 2 hours ended in a draw on this Sunday. Attila the Huney took down the first game while Caeser ABustUs, so called for his inability to ever have sufficient coins in the bank, took the second. In the first game, Attila create a formidible and unassaible financial empire. Caeser’s efforts to undermine her through a clever explosion of Wonder-building was too little too late in overcoming the early game deficit. It was a slow grind, with neither player able to put down any production buildings for the first 3 turns. This left ABustUs broke and desperate long into the third age. ...

“Crash Dandyboots’ silver bullet screeches around the final corner. He is certainly burning away whatever rubber was left on those tires he’s been nursing since the first half of the race… Well I’ll be a possum’s papa, if that engine holds he might just have pulled this off!” – Martin Brundle’s third cousin Crash Dandyboots’ engine did, in fact, hold and he pulled of a thrilling victory in the inaugural Formula OSC racing season’s first race at Silverstone. It was an phenominal afternoon of racing. Pre-season testing in Marseille got off to a slow start as teams discovered what their new cars were capable of. And, in the case of the Wilbur team, where the gas pedal was. Alonso, a mononym, and no relation to Fernando of F1 fame, drove a fantastic race and secured a solid second. Chuck Wilbur, was a steady third and finished only tenths of a second behind the two race leaders. ...

Alf came through with the win on a very very snowy afternoon. Swoosh was lost in neck-deep snow while making the trip to the launch pad. A rescue mission will be dispatched to her last known location. We expect to find her embedded in a block of ice somewhere nearby. Alf’s winning strategy was almost entirely not washing her hands correctly. She introduced all sorts of novel bacteria to the martian landscape. This bacteria made all sort of oxygen. Then she made bank off her newfound “breathable air” monopoly. Seedy fell far behind after investing the last of his 8 mega-credits into establishing an award that he awarded to himself for his corporation’s ability to generate heat (but little else). He tried to make up the gap by raising rabbits… which he then fed to his martian bears. He will be remembered as the first loser. ...
