Towers was the worst hands down. Especially when it’s your first build event and you spend hours trying to figure it out before watching it be crushed before your eyes in a matter of seconds :cry: .

Least favorite: politics behind the scenes at SO; no reason for it-petty, unwarranted & inexplicable. Those in key positions can be straight forward and nice! Most who volunteer are not looking to usurp others. Respect, now that's a great value don't you think? Counting pennies? Aren't we all! SO mission statement should extend to the conduct of those involved in all aspects of SO in NY& also in each state. Those in key positions have no need to be petty. 'Nuff said, carry on!

My least favorite was Fast Facts for sure. I had no idea what I was getting into when I took that on.
"Blessed are you when people insult you and persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward in heaven is great; for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you." Matthew 5:11-12

I have no regrets.

game on for sure. All that work you spend preparing, and the slightest mistake at the event could cause the entire game to not work. Also the grading is very subjective
