Fun and Games

Alright just because this one gets more attention over at the EOTAC forums I figured it'd be fun to start it over here. The rules are:

Very similar to the regular PIF game thats on here. The difference is that you have to win some kind of challenge. Whomever wins the challenge gets 3 sticks (not crappy ones, but they don't have to be crazy expensive either) from the person that posted the challenge.

Once you with the challenge you have to post a new challenge no more then 2 days later & you must wait two weeks before trying to win again.

To keep things moving if your challenge goes for more than three days please give clues to wrap it up by the fifth day.

For Newbies - if you have less than 25 post counts and no trading reputation (Good Traders and Stand up Folks thread) you MUST send a PM to me before attempting to win a challenge. You will be able to participate with the following condition. You must first send your package and have it received before the person you won from will send yours.

I'm shocked that I had 2 options and picked the wrong one... I hope the sarcasm translates

I feel bad that Robby lost, I would have picked the stang had it been available. I am pretty stoked that I won though. I finally popped my cherry in the fun and games section. PM sent vulchor

I suppose I will ask my first question now, to keep this game going. What was my first command in the Navy? I'll give my first hint. When I got to it, I was standing on a pier.

Not so up on Navy Lingo.....are you asking what city/state or ship/assignment etc.? I guess that's why this game is soooo tough sometimes. I'll go with San Diego or Whales Vagina resepctfully.

letsgowithbob

whales vagina is close, but no cigar. I'm looking for name of the ship

Crusader1545

Can you narrow it down a tad? Like...was it a combat ship or support or medical...is it currently on active duty?

My guess.....The Gettysburg CG-64 only because my dad was on the boat and it would be AWESOME if you knew him haha. the whole small world thing.

letsgowithbob

I think I picked a pretty crappy question...lol. Sorry guys. the type of ship is aircraft carrier.

I shall go with USS George Washington (CVN 73) Final Answer specifically the 90s?

USS Dwight D Eisenhower

letsgowithbob

none of the guesses are correct so far. One of the "prize cigars" handed out will be a man o war special edition figurado

sightunseen

USS Nimitz

I feel your pain if you were ships company. I was a HT on cell block 69 (Ike). If you were air wing go f*ck yourself. Kidding. I'm going to have to guess the reagon CVN 76. But seriously on the air wing. Lol

Why the hatred, you guys had all the sh*t!! lol. Wasn't air wing, AIMD here. None of the guesses are right so far, but getting closer, only a matter of time

letsgowithbob

I think it's time for another clue. The aircraft carrier had/has a conventional powerplant. It is/was a non nuclear carrier (it's designation would have been CV- not CVN- )

letsgowithbob

Okay I need to get these out on monday at the latest, or they aren't coming for a week or so, here's another clue. The aircraft carrier that I was on was forward deployed (it lived) in Japan

lilwing88

USS Kennedy

Thewelder

Ooooo I know, pick me, in the back, I know the answer. Oooo. Damn two more hours until my 24 hour limit.

Thewelder

Japan conventional. Gotta be the one and only shittie kitty. Though depending on how long ago you served ,aybe the kitty hawk wasn't that bad

letsgowithbob

Nope The kitty hawk was the one that replaced us. I think I picked the dumbest question so far..lol...sorry everyone.

Thewelder

Damn that's going beyond my knowledge.

letsgowithbob

This aircraft carrier was the first aircraft carrier in the world to visit malaysia

letsgowithbob

It was decomissioned in 1998 in Bremerton Washington

letsgowithbob

Someone has to guess this, I only have till monday to get a package out. and then I'm in south america for a bit......come on google.....!!!

Dustin1981

I am not on the good traders list because I have never done any of this before but I think I have the correct carrier. I PM'd you with the answer I didnt want to post it here because I didnt want to ruin the game for anyone else. If you could just please let me know if I was right. Thanks

Crusader1545

If Dustin did not get it I guess USS Independence CV 62

Yes crusader you got it. PM me your address, and I'll send some sticks out to you tomorrow.

letsgowithbob

Just for the record, dustin also guessed the right answer, but according to the rules has to be on the good traders list. Thanks everyone, and next time I will pick a little more general question..lol

I stole a book of matches from you in Ohio at the herf. Can I add you to the "good trader list" since we technically made a trade? I traded you long winded conversation for a book of mattches... or something like that...

Crusader1545

Ok guys my challenge is this. Where am I eating right now ( 7pm on a Monday.) I just had a beer they serve American style food. I am in Alabama and this place is a chain founded between 1930 and 1960
