FoMo 2009
This is just a quick reminder that the first of May is only about two weeks away, and if you're planning on participating in the First of May Olympics this year but need time to (a) find an adventurously willing partner, or (b) convince your current partner that participating in the festivities is a good idea, you may want to start doing that now. Good luck!
The rules and point structure is the same this year as last, but if anyone feels that new events should be added or any modifications to current events are needed, please let me know.
Disclaimer: the First Of May Olympics (or, FoMo) is for mature audiences only. If you don't think this kind of thing is fun or if you're too young to be involved, please feel free to ignore it completely.

If its gonna happen - THAT'S the time !

Re: skirts and dresses -- that's pretty close to being "Covered Up", which is a -5 point penalty. But since some amount of au naturale-ness will still be required for performing The Deed, I'd say that penalty doesn't really apply. But you definitely can't qualify for the "Partially Nekkid" +5 point bonus unless you're also showing some serious skin somewhere else (if you know what I mean), in which case I think you're still good. So I'd say that while the wearing of skirts/dresses in an attempt to not really be nekkid during the competition is maybe unsportsmanlike behavior, it's essentially a wash and is worth a net +0 points to your score.
Also, I'm not really sure if our yearly competition is something we should just keep to ourselves, or if it's something that should be linked to across the Netterwebs on blogs and whatnot. It seems like just the kind of thing that could go viral, but I'm not sure if that would be a good thing or not.

(If you're not wearing pants....)
Maybe a YTMND page with the rules and JoCo's song playing?
Hey, maybe Spiff could make a new version of his video to show the points being scored by the various characters, simulating whichever way WoW usually tells you you scored points or otherwise did well at something, or if that's not suitable, then generic game '20 points' thingies appearing briefly next to the (in)appropriate activities. Because Spiff's videos are pretty infectious already.
ETA: by 'new version', I don't mean making the whole thing again, just adding overlays on the existing one with the points... maybe even just YouTube annotations if it would take too much time to do it in a more game-y fashion. (hehe... the first of May is doing it in a more [wild-]game-y fashion)
Re-making the FoM video with point totals springing up onscreen is a pretty good idea. It causes me no end of pain that I didn't keep the original files for my earlier videos, so I'd have to add the points to a low-quality version of the video, but I guess that'd be OK. But where would I post the video? YouTube has already expressed its displeasure at my FoM video. I'll see if I can find some place good.
If the world starts linking to this event, that raises the possibility of thousands of people all editing/vandalizing the FoMo page on the Wiki. Do we think that's an actual concern, and is there anything we can do to stop it if we wanted?
You know what would be cool? An online score calculator. With the option of displaying your score in some kind of FoMo results table, either with or without details and pseudonym. Of course some people would lie, but we can't help that.
I could probably make such a thing, the question is, do I have time? No, but I never do anyway, so what difference would it make?

If there's anything you'd like me to change please let me know, I figured it'd be best to post the rules on Facebook itself.
Not that it's to be recommended doing it in a fashion that gets you arrested... but if you're going to be arrested, you might as well be arrested for doing something fun.
I still find it immensely amusing that this day is also my birthday.
Next year, lets make it so.
Plus, did they reach the happy ending before they were arrested?
And anyway, they should get bonus points for location.
91 points, an increase of 16 points from last year's score. Beat that, suckas.
And congrats to Spiff, looks like he is the only serious participant this year...again.
unfortunately i was sick all friday, so it was a bit of a non-starter.
So the official winner of the 2009 FoMo is the Montreal Dogging Crew. Good game, everybody.
(next year, let's see if we can have less excuses and more game playin')
