More medieval ass-hattery and home improvement issues
In response to the post:
"Can someone give me an idea about what time the jousting will start? I have friends who would like to check us out.
thanks, Name Deleted"
Someone actually responded:
"Make sure they are in costume, or I'll have to kick them off site.

What the hell is wrong with people here? Even in jest that seems like the shittiest way you could have chosen to say that. Everywhere else I've played the response would have been something more along the lines of "Do you need some loaner garb? What size are your friends?"
I am sooooo not getting any warm fuzzies about this group. I really hope my expectations are proven wrong.

I don't know what drunken monkey wrote those directions, but I've putzed up the whole thing and need to purchase more film to try again tomorrow. It was all just fine until I went back to check on it and noticed a bubble about an hour after I put it up. Well the instructions say that you have 24 hours to fix and fiddle with it. It would have been nice if the instructions had been a bit more precise on the method one has to use to do that successfully. In essence, peeling away while dry = epic fails.
One should just turn up an edge, spray some of the application solution on it and let it release itself. If you peel it away dry, you almost fall of the edge of the tub when it suddenly releases under the pressure of your entire body weight, and you end up with a crease in the film. Your formerly pin-sized bubbles then become an enormous 1/2" wide, 6" long crease-bubble thing, or if you are particularly unlucky the entire corner will refuse to ever stick to the glass again.
*Grrrrrrr*
