As promised, here are the rules of the DIStag game for the new Konked Kruisers.
I think we need to set a deadline for participating as some of our KK's are leaving home up to 2 weeks before cruising and they'll need the updated list. So how does
Sept 1st sound? Anyone wanting to play with us will have to let us know by then. Fair enough?
All DIStag participants will purchase a small gift from their hometown to give to all taggers. We will receive a spread sheet made up by your's truly, at our first DISmeet (time and place still to be determined). In addition to the spread sheet you will receive some sort of magnet. The list will look something like this:
JLDSMD Jeff Cabin 1234
cntkg1 Nancy Cabin 6576
oybolshoi Brenda Cabin 6580 (I'm STILL not giving up
)
LindyLoo Linda Cabin 4321
etc.....
You will start with the person listed directly below your name. Deliver your "gift" and leave the magnet at the top of their cabin door. Should your "gift" be too large to fit in the 'fish mail holder', locate any Stateroom Host/ess and request they take your gift directly into the room. When someone leaves you a gift and the magnet, deliver your surprise and received magnet to the next person on your list-and so on. When you get to the last person 'participating' at the bottom of the page (LindyLoo in our example)...start at the top of the list (JLDSMD). Continue until you get to the person listed above YOUR name.
So if I've still managed to confuse you, this is the skinny of it all...
Jeff takes one of his gifts and his magnet. He tags Nancy's door with the magnet and puts his gift on the 'fish mail holder'. Now he waits until someone tags his door. (In our example LindyLoo would start with Jeff). He will take that new magnet and a new gift and tag Brenda's door. He waits again until he gets tagged and then tags Linda's door and leaves behind a gift.
So this means if we have 20 DISers who want to play tag, we will each have to bring 20 little gifts.
We have all week to play and we'd probably cut it off on Thursday. Any leftover gifts at that point can just be left on fish mail holders without tagging with the magnets.
When we played this on our other cruise the gifts were anything from personalized pencils, bumper stickers, candy, yummy hometown recipes (Yorkshire pudding mmmmm), keychains, playing cards etc.... Most were packed in gift baggies and labeled with the name of the DISer who left it behind.
It really was tons of fun (for us anyway) and we only ran into one snag. One DISer's entire family got sick and he had to bail on us halfway through the game. We all just continued on anyway without the magnets.
Brenda, does this sound like I covered everything?
If you'd like to play, just add your name to the "DIStag" table on the Yahoo site and edit to answer "Yes" to the DIStag column on the "Konked Kruiser Inventory" table on Yahoo.
Still confused? That's ok..so am I!!
I like going to my kids games, but because all three are in different leagues, it gets so hectic on some days. My boys have practice today, but the field is right behind the house, so I don't have to go.
but it's actually quite decent compared to other similar houses in Calgary. 
, but I feeling fitter in myself. Its soooooooooooo hard to lose, and so easy to put on! Why cant it be the other way around 
I guess your motivation and the fact I will see you all in Oct, is keeping me on the straight and narrow !
