You can skip this post if you're not part of the guild, as it will only contain photos of people you don't know doing things that you don't care about.
Rampduck, Leoroxx and Rundvelt enjoying a few quiet beers and a bit of religious or political debate on the verandah. (I don't actually know what they were talking about at this exact time, but I am fairly confident in my assertion, based on the discussions I heard throughout the week.) That bottle of Jack Daniels on the table didn't last long, either.
The frenetic pace of life on the ranch was too much for poor young Leo. How he slept through the noisy board game rules arguments is beyond me. In his defense, I think most of the attendees spent at least part of each day sleeping, before drinking and playing Rock Band late into the evening.
Some guildies decided to take advantage of some of the beautiful weather to play a spot of croquet. From memory, I heard that the game was still going on 4 hours later - Wii Croquet really doesn't prepare you for the real thing guys!
Dom shows off perfect croquet form. You can tell that he's serious, because he even put his beer down.
Shtanky and Kaihlann throw some horseshoes. Reigning Canadian Champion Stephen (who won the only game he has ever played on beginner's luck 2 months ago) chose to remain undefeated by hiding whenever horseshoes was mentioned. Still undefeated!
Rampduck's expression suggests that he was trying to do some work before Rundvelt and Stuie arrived to debate auction house strategies. Good work guys - bringing work on a guild vacation is a no-no.
The top level of the gym was mostly empty except for a giant projector screen, which we promptly turned into a huge concert hall for the purposes of playing copious amounts of Rock Band. The setup allowed for 2 vocalists (lead and backup), two guitars (lead and bass) and a drummer. With over 700 songs to choose from, we seriously rocked out.
Pasiphae wowed us all with her Queen, AC/DC and Black Sabbath vocal talents. Also, she sounds exactly like GLaDOS.
Khazak takes on the drums - not pictured, the giant jar (as in, pasta sauce-style jar) of alcohol that he walked around with the entire time. I still don't know why a cup wasn't sufficient.
Moozipan (the owner of the Rock Band ensemble) shows off his impressive vocal talents. A-Ha's Take On Me seemed to be the crowd favourite, although no one quite knows how he hit those high notes.
The setup, from the performers' viewpoint. The railing was in a rather inconvenient place for the drummer, but otherwise it was the most awesome Rock Band setup imaginable.
Peeps hanging around in the kitchen waiting for breakfast. I am not sure what is up with Emoras in this photo - perhaps a few too many drinks the night before.
Prior to this was
Part 1, which covered the venue and surrounds, and over the next few days I'll put up
Part 3 and Part 4, which cover Stephen and my sidetrips in the local area.
