Accidentally fell asleep early last night and in return received 11 hours of sleep. I’ve got to do that again sometime. All I have to do is lie down and say “It’ll only be for a minute…”
Now, on to the important business: Stratego. Stratego is a board game of wit, courage, stategy, and skill. It looks a little something like this:
So, it’s a blustery and wind-chilled day in Hilliard, Ohio. Against all odds two young (and dashingly beautiful) young lads ride bikes to a local Starbucks to meet over a game of Stratego.
Later that evening, each while nursing their battle wounds, they discuss a groundbreaking thought. Why not, for good time’s sake, make each piece in the game a friend from Student Venture? Brilliant!
So, here is what we composed. There are 11 pieces. 2′s (they are scouts, so they can move long ranges in one move) 3′s (which can dimantle bombs) 4′s, 5′s, 6′s, 7′s, 8′s , 9′s, and finally the most powerful piece the 10 (the field marshall). Also, there is a spy who can kill anyone, but anyone can kill the spy. The basic concept of the game is that you attack pieces while looking for the opponent’s flag, and the piece with the higher number wins. Oh yeah, and there are bombs.
Two teams: Team Blue (Phil’s Team)
2 – Nathan Tavenor (He can go far distances)
3 – Scooner (He is a dog, so he can dismantle bombs)
4 – Andrew Rogers
5 – Jimmy Kovell
6 – Nick Berner
7 – Nick Schoener
8 – Matt Kemp
9 – Isaac Mann
10 – Philip Mendola
Spy – Kyung Dung Kim
Team Red (Nate’s Team)
2 – Danny (has the energy to go far)
3 – Alex D.
4 – Kevin Beisel
5 – Matt Sanders
6 – Kevin D.
7 – Joe H.
8 – EJ Mann
9 – Michael S.
10 – Nate Lundquist
Spy – Jonathan Ringle
The girls at venture, Leslie, Kait, Rachel, Stephanie, Lauren, and Cora, are the bombs, for obvious reasons.
One ironic thing to note it that John Ringle, as a member of the U.S. Navy, probably could kill anyone, so it is very fitting that he is a spy.
Also, if you are unhappy with your rank just remember I am a 10 and I could kill you.
See you at Venture, troops.
Remember: The infinite Imagination is a diamond planet’s worth more valuable than a disciminatory Intellect.

unfortunatly, my battle wounds are going to need a little more mending than your’s my good lad.

HAHAHA, i need to play this more relevant game of stratego. The teams are looking good, and i am pretty happy with how i was ranked, good choice on deciding the girls were the bombs, good choice.
hello good phillip! : ) so…we are in need of some serious hangage kiddo. we’ll have to work on that. later alligator!
Ahahaha… can’t wait to see them fight.
Good day in AP Euro, Phil.
I… hope Great Britain dies.
Nice man. So putting me at 3 was obviously because I know how to handle girls, smart move Phil, your team’s gonna regret not having me on it…..although i see the connection between scooner and i…….very funny
Thanks for the help btw, greatly appreciate it!
Thank you Phil, Thank God friday came and it was good, it was very much a neccessity for me. I love that Churchill Quote, very true and inspiring.
but we’re pretty bombs…right?
i love stratego, i still got it in my closet(i hope). I havent played in foever but was favorite game. I jsut membered something, if you kiled someone with spy, did u have to say spy? cuz then youd no not to move close to there, or it gave away who it was. I foget. Anywais, id love to play sometime again.
