A brief history. Snowballs and microwaves have never been friends. They never will be. It’s never been personal; it’s more of a conflict in genetics. “I like it hot,” says the Sharp R-305KS 1-Cubic-Foot 1100-Watt. “Ice cream and me are lovers,” says the snowman’s cousin. Regardless of whether genetics mean to or not, the snowball has endured thousands of cruel deaths at the hands of the microwave. Hundreds of treaties and truces have been signed, but the microwave can’t control itself. The peaceful times never last. It never fails. Eventually the microwave will invite the snowball over and then the bloodbaths continue. The movement Snowballs to the Promise Land (STPL, pronounced “stopal”) is an organization set up to assure that snowballs can live and die in peace, that they will no longer have to worry about the terror mongers controlling their lives. They have also worked extensively with the government to get the death penalty implemented nationwide for any device that willingly causes the demise of a snowball or similar iced being. They have also been working on an underground movement to dispose of many of these sick machines. The game These underground movements consist of the people taking the matter into their own hands. There have been enough deaths and the general public isn’t going to stand for it anymore. STPL members have devised a system that allows a quick disposal of these evil mini nuke machines. Basically, microwaves aren’t the brightest form of technology and can easily be tricked with the most basic of costumes. By dressing up as a snowball (even wearing a white shirt is suffice) you can get a microwave’s attention. Once you get the microwave’s attention then you just lead it up on the roof and throw it off. Players get one point for a successful mission. The person with the most points at the end of the year gets a certificate of achievement. game created by Mark Baumer
