BrickCon 2009 will again have a Dirty Brickster on Saturday night.
If you want to participate, you have to think ahead to wrap and bring
something.
If you've done it before: worth $10+ to an AFOL. No junk. Please wrap
ahead of time.
If you've never before experienced the anguish and rapture that is the
Dirty Brickster:
The Dirty Brickster is a gift-giving game. Each participant brings a
wrapped gift, which will be placed on a table which the participants will
encircle. Gifts should be Lego and worth about $10 to $20 to an adult fan
of Lego (so definitely no clones or garbage brick; usually no gear.)
Participants draw numbers out of a hat for order. (In the event that more
than 30 people wish to participate, participants may be split into two or
more groups.)
The first participant chooses a gift to unwrap. Subsequent participants
have the option of unwrapping a wrapped gift or stealing an unwrapped
gift. If you are stolen from, you have the option of unwrapping a new
gift or stealing from someone else, except that you may not steal back the
gift that was just stolen from you. After a gift has been stolen for the
third time it is locked and cannot be stolen again.
After the last gift has been unwrapped (which can only happen after every
participant after the first has had at least one chance to unwrap or
steal) the participant who started it all has a chance to steal any
unlocked gift, potentially starting a new cycle of stealing (except now
it's really swapping, rather than stealing).
Protocol:
The cooler the gift, the better. 8967 is fine but a mint $10 set from
fifteen years ago is even better.
Wrapped gifts should not be shaken or unnecessarily handled.
Touch it and it's yours.
Gifts not yet locked should be kept clearly visible in your lap. Locked
gifts should be placed under or behind your chair.
You win if the gift you brought is stolen three times.
Finally, and this is most important, when someone steals a gift the other
participants should chant "Dirty Brickster! Dirty Brickster! Dirty
Brickster!"
BrickCon is an annual convention for adult Lego hobbyists.
BrickCon 2009 will be October 1--4, 2009, in the Seattle Center Exhibition
Hall.
