Wired at the Ski Resort
You strap on your skis at Large Donkey Mountain and decide you want to ski the dreaded XXX Double-Plus-Ungood Slope. You do pretty well for the first 10 feet . . . after that it's kind of a blur. A cold, painful blur. When you come to, you're bleeding profusely but wrapped in a spiffy new barbed-wire fence!
Occurs at Large Donkey Mountain Ski Resort.
Notes
- If you wait 30 turns in between shore trips, and choose the Ski Resort, this adventure will automatically be triggered.
References
- "Double-Plus-Ungood" is a reference to the book Nineteen Eighty-Four written by George Orwell in which the government-controlled press (the language they use being called "newspeak") avoids unpleasant words like "bad" by replacing them with negated words like "ungood". Degrees of meaning were achieved by first adding the "plus" then the "double" prefixes, albeit without hyphens. "Doubleplusungood" referred to the worst possible action, decision, or situation someone could be involved in.
