[ACP11] Waifu carrying!! By sora-roxas-ven. 18/12/10, 02:56 pm
Ahem. I'm going as Finland to ACP, and there's a Sweden, Norway and Denmark coming as well, and we (well, Norway and I) think there should be a wife carrying competition. Finland represent and all.
So this is what's been thought of (for 20 whole seconds, heck yeah): - We could have one canon race, in which your OTPs get together (as in FrUK -because USUK just sucks-, and SoRiku, and CloudxEveryone) - And then one crack race, in which you can go with whoever, and we could have some amazing crossovers~ And whoever's with Rikki will totally win
Obstacles might become part of the course, if we can get off our asses and find some suitable ones.
FOR EVERYONE WHO HASN'T HEARD OF WIFE CARRYING, there are a few ways to do it:
Spoiler:
THE PIGGYBACK
Spoiler:
THE FIREMAN'S LIFT
Spoiler:
This is actually called the estonian carry, but I think it's just weird
There's also the "sack of potatoes carry" (no, I didn't make that up) in which you just throw the person over one shoulder. It's in the video somewhere~
Video! [you can stop watching after 20 seconds]
In the real thing, you have to skull a beer every 30/50m or so, but I'm sure we can find an alternative.
So, who's keen? //say who you're going with for the first race, if you want to sign up.
So far (for the first race) we have: Red + Skitty (Pokemon): Nee + Catnes555 Jaden Yuki + personsoawesometheycosplaythemselves (Yu-Gi-Oh GX): Superjumper + brother Axel + Marluxia: FivesSorrow + ElectraMaria Matsumoto + Halibel: ai-scully + animelove Iceland + Fem!China: Sybarite + Dematerialization (dA)

Holy safety issues batman. Am I the only one who sees that it would only take one person dropped accidentally or awkwardly for this to turn into a huge disaster?

Hey guys :3
It's cool you want to do all this but I'm quite worried about your safety. I do not want to be held responsible for concussions and broken bones 8D;; And since some kiddies' parents will be putting their children in my care.... yeah no lawsuits PLEASE.
I'll further discuss this with the other organisers.

Re: [ACP11] Waifu carrying!! By superjumper. 22/12/10, 07:58 am
maybe we could stick to piggyback carrying for safety, if this goes ahead? It's by far the safest lift.

Re: [ACP11] Waifu carrying!! By sora-roxas-ven. 23/12/10, 05:00 am
I guess it would really have to depend on the person being carried to know that whoever was carrying them were physically able to do it. Cat's piggybacked me up Queen Street in the past
We would definitely have the race on the grass, because falling over on concrete/gravel wouldn't be pretty at all. And safetywise, we might end up not having any obstacles, and just making it an around-the-tree (or run up and touch the tree, they're basically the same) thing.
If anyone comes up with more ideas to make it safer, then of course we'll use them...

Sometimes I forget that not everyone is quite as partial to my odd sense of humor as would be amusing. Are you game to play tammykins? Otherwise sora, I suspect Tammy is at her limit from my teasing.
