Queen's Plate Poll

Post by Chani Ruzzo »

Allrighty!

I had a very interesting conversation with Mr.Zone and I was wondering if people wanted to see the return of SIM/REAL racing trivia. He thinks that SIM dinners are for adults and we don't need gimmicks. Honestly if we are going to be talking about fake horses why not have a chance to win some cool ones? Last year we had a post draw for a Headshot, 3 millionaire mare leases, Yearlings, Game Points and SIM Cash Galore.


What's your say? Are we too old for fun?

Um considering that everyone on here is playing a GAME, it's hard to say that anyone is too adult for fun :)

I thought our dinner party last year was fun and well done. The prizes didn't dominate and I don't think anyone was short of conversation...Mr Zone must have been at a different party, lol.

I recall Mr Zone was busy at a few other tables last year.............

He's probably like Sgt. Schultz: "I know nothing!"

Channi u ask me I said no I have nothing planned . Then u got all about oh I have to top last year and so I on I said I enjoy the dinner and don't need the extras tO have fUn.

For someone that may not even make it I find this funny!!

Also guess what plate weekend is the busiest time of the year for me not only will I have 5-10 runner that weekend I have a plate barn party to plan ,owners to entertain and just overall work!
So do I have time to plan games no ! But hey let's play pin the tail on awake as I am and smash the giant piñata that looks like East and call it a night!

Feel free to plan games I just don't have the time to do it ! I will make time for any sim player that wants to come to the backstretch and watch horses train when they are here also will make sure all sim players can get on to the backside after the plate to be part of the parties and maybe meet the plate winner !

Zone, my dear, whether or not I show up I am at least making an effort to make simtrivia on the Saturday interesting and very much a ball. Besides I asked if you were going to try to top last year. It looks like there may have been a misunderstanding in the texts.

So far for all interested - Prizes:
500k SIMcash to be given away
20k Game Points
Stud Breedings
Brood Leases
Headshot
Yearlings
and more!

edited to say: "and more!"

I am making a effort to set aside my time on my he ll week for the sim ,my effort is getting them to see real horses not just fake game ones!
I do not understand why you want to make such a big deal of this its great you are planningthe games that is what you are good at that is what you should do !
I am good at or can get them all access to horses and such so that is what i will do! SIMHORSERACING=people gettting together and having fun should not be about hey he does not want to do this or i can do this its should be about a group of people having fun in anyway they want and enjoying each others company!

Long range forecast calls for RAIN!

Now I feel bad for saying last year I wanted it to rain so the crowd wouldn't be so bad.. :)

But it does help me plan my outfit..
