Train Wreck Icon

You fail to reach the meet because your car broke down, you missed your bus, your train was late, your plane was hijacked, your horse went lame, or other transportation failure occurred.

In cases where the mode of transport is human-powered and it is a human who becomes sick, injured, or catatonic, claim the Trail of Blood consolation prize instead.


Winners

  • Mapaholic and Vicky couldn't get to the 2012-08-05 hashpoint at 4pm, because Vicky's car wouldn't start. They got there at 5.25pm.
  • Nija and Anniepoo discovered Nija's car had been hit when they started out for 2012-08-08 but continued bravely on to the hash point.
