Seriously Memverse? I know most of you are cramming for the BB test (and I should be too) but still…

3rd? Okay….

I'm afraid Memverse may have reached the end of the summer activity period. After all, testing starts tomorrow. :P

I guess it's up to us alumni, eh? :P xP

Whew! Just finished typing a long email; I think it's about time for me to head to bed. xD I'll see you in the morning, Memverse! ;P

Memverse is reaching the end of the summer, period. xP feels left out because I'm not testing :'( :P

The three of us can have a pity party tomorrow. xP

The three of us can have a pity party tomorrow. xP

Sounds like a good idea to me. :( xP Lol

goes to bed

Lol, yeah, we should do that. xP

Happy test-taking!

3rd post! My family is done testing! =D O.o

3rd post! My family is done testing! =D O.o

Awesome! We haven't finished yet, some of them are going to do it on Monday.

waves Hi there! xD

So Brianna told me! One of you is going to have to tell me how it went for y'all! Whew…this is gonna be a long week. =P

Hiya! :D

Yeah, we'll make sure and do that! Haha, no kidding. :P

What's up with you? :)

Hehe! Well, I guess we've survived 5 and 7 other weeks, so we'll be okay. xP Does it feel funny not testing yourself this year?

Just a regular Saturday at home, beside the testing. :P Ah, yeah, it does… Though I've had a while to get used to the idea.

How many computers do you have to test on? Yeah…it wasn't as difficult as I thought it might be to not be testing, but I was still a bit melancholy. x) xP

By the way, I may not be able to respond to your email till Monday; we have a very busy day tomorrow, with no time for me to reply to emails. ;) xP

Well, we have several, but we may only do one at a time.

Haha, that's fine. :) Thanks for letting me know though.

Okay. :) We all headed over to my Dad's office and we used multiple computers at once. Plus, he has fast wifi, so that's important. xD

^Did you leave? :P^

I'm so sorry Rachel! =P

Ooh, hello again! =P I'm really tempted to ask where you went, but I'll be a good friend and just forgive you. xP xP xD lol jk

Lol! My little sisters wanted me to play a game with them. So that's where I went. xD xP

Aww, then you were being a good brother, so you are definitely forgiven. xD ^xP xP^ What game were you playing? :)

Haha, thanks. xD "Sorry Sliders", a version of Sorry! that has the same kind of pawns but otherwise isn't much like the real thing. :P

^I do hope you know I'm teasing… xP lol^ Never heard of it, but that sounds like a fun little kid game. xD

^Of course. ;D^ Yeah! It's good for all ages actually. :P

It's kind of like a target game where you slide your pawns to reach the goal. x)

Lol! I'm sure it's fun. xD I haven't played Sorry in years….I think a life-sized human Sorry game would be fun! ^Sorry, that was random. xP^

Lol, wow, that does sound fun. I'd never thought of that before. xP With slides and everything, right!? xD

Yeah! Now how to make the slides….I'm not sure, but I bet it could be managed. You could do it in a gym or something. xD Maybe we need to try to organize that for Nats this year, jk xD

Yeah, especially considering that you're supposed to be able to stop in the middle of the slide and only go down it if you end your move on the first square of the slide. And whoever's on there gets knocked off. =P Wow, that would be something. xP

^I'm laughing way too hard at this… xP^
Ooh I got it! You could play it up on wide balance beams, and have the slides going into the foam cubes. xP Then when you slide into the foam there is a ladder you climb up to get back on the balance beam. And if you get knocked off, well, then you'll have a soft landing the the foam cubes.
^Excuse my complete randomness, Matthew…. XD^

Wow, okay. I'm having a bit of trouble envisioning exactly what you're saying… xP xP

^rofl!!^
Sorryyy…I can see it all perfectly in my mind, but I won't try to explain it further as I might make you more confused. =P Unless if you want me to….. :P

It's kind of like a target game where you slide your pawns to reach the goal. x)

Oh. I see. I missed this comment. xP I've never played Sorry Slider (or whatever it's called), so maybe I'm getting the slide part all mixed up. =P Lolol

No, I'm talking about regular Sorry which has a completely different sort of slide than Sorry Sliders does. Sorry Sliders is kind of like marbles - the pawns have wheels like what you'd find underneath a very old mouse. =P

Oohh…kayyy? XD See, I haven't played Sorry in years, lol. xP Now I'm getting confused. =P

^almost dies laughing^

Haha, in the regular Sorry, you go around the board trying to get home. There are "slides" (basically an arrow across several squares) that allow you to speed up your journey and also knock any other pawns on the slide back to Start. Sorry to confuse you, lol! xP

Yes, I know the basic elements, but I forgot there were slides. xP Haha, you didn't confuse me - I just got excited and carried away with my idea. xP xP That's me for you…. xP xP

Oh, okay. xD xP No, that would actually be a good idea if we could make it work. It'd probably be better than something like human chess, because it's so much less complicated. :P But it'd take a lot of preparation. xP

Human chess! Yikes! Now that sounds slightly….boring. xP Just standing there for long periods of time until you finally get to move? =P xP xD

Sorry would kind of involve some of that too. :P I guess you'd have to be a real chess fan in order to like that though.

True, but the slides would make up for it. =P Why not do something like Dutch Blitz with GIANT cards? xD xP

Ah, yeah, true. :P Oh, that's the best idea yet! jkjk xP xP

But seriously, wouldn't it be fun? xP xD

Ah, well, it'd be a workout. But yeah, it'd be fun. xP

You don't like to workout? =P jkjk
