Man being a part of the challenge was great and it was a lot of fun. That's probably one of many things I willn't forget about Otakon this year. This year I was a part of a team made up of 2 Gene Starwind's, one of them being me wearing the cape, 1 Yugi, and 1 Titus. Now in the first round if you don't rember our team went up against Lord Shinagami, a guy in a professor suit, a person in ninja suit I believe, and some person with orange goggles on. Anyway Titus on our team ended up crushing them all with out a problem. Then we moved on to the second round which was called the Dreaded Pika Pocky Poult. Anyway the sling shot we were going to use snapped when the judge was doing a demo. So we went to tossing the pikachu by its ears ,and I was the Gene catching the Pikachu, and moving the line way back. Then he said that was to easy so everyone had to drop kick the pikachu. So my friend Titus decides to put Pikachu on the ground and do a leg drop on it and guy said no no no pick up the pikachu and kick it across the room. So he kicked it and I caught it. Then Yughi kicked and I caught it barely on the edge of the border as I recall and then the other Gene kicks it and I end up losing track of the borders and started to run into the front of the crowd chasing after the Pikachu. So after our turn was up we waited and the second team got 2 catches as well and the remaining teams got only one each. So then it came down to the final round called Office Gundam Fight. In this one we had a captain the two arms and the legs. The object of this was there were three cups on three of the pegs in the front of the Gundam. The Captain sat in the office chair and the others were on the outside holding up the frame and at the same time they were all being blind folded. Which then the captains job was to shout out commands and tell the right arm how to swing the light beam. And the others which direction to go in. So I ended up being the captain since I had the loudest voice. And Titus was holding the light beam. The other Gene was the left arm guiding the gundam and Yughi were the legs. Then after the setup the fight began. I was in the Green gundam and shouted go left! left! left! left! left! left! until we did a 180. Then I told titus to swing left! right! right! But at the same time the other gundam was knocking off our cups and no sooner it began 15 seconds into the fight both gundams had no parts and the judge shouted stop the fight! And titus not hearing it still was swing the beam and hitting the other guy on the head 5 times with it. And I try to tell him to stop but broke out laughing after telling him anyways it ended up coming to a judges decsion with the elves who won. And there decsion was the blue gundam. So we lost just by a fraction of a second. But overall it was alot of fun and I wouldn't mind making a fool out of myself next year and keep the tradition of the Otaklause Challenge going. And if you are the other Gene Starwind that was a part of my team and you are reading this thankyou for everything this year. I appreciated you helping out the team when I need another member. Until then everyone out there live long the Otaklause Challenge and "YOU BETTER GET READY!"
