What did you get in your Feast backpack?

I see no potential benefit in revealing that. Unless you're saying you want to be friends? I also like your charity and I think you've been paying the best attention for most of the game. You're in the running.

You're the first one to ask (at least since the Feast) so I'd be happy to be your friend. I'd be honored to make it to the Final Four with you.

*shakes hand*

I have two guards that I don't really see myself needing since it's fine if I die. And a handful of sand.

*the hand I didn't shake with.

*shakes hand*

I've submitted my guard so I've done all i can do with what I have. I'm set for the eod, whether it's at midnight or noon. Or 3pm.

(And with the drama over the board closing and the whole flap with the Wayne Foundation I thought RAINN was involved with that as well. I was very glad to learn that that is not the case.)

RAINN actually lost quite a bit of money with the formation of the Wayne Foundation and the diversion of board funds (not just with registration fees, but with all the extracurricular board donating as well).

That's a shame. There's got to me more to the story about why the board was just wiped completely off the internet. But I'm not sure I really want to know.

Mine is also one I've seen make a local difference - I try to give to its annual telethon every year. If I could run I would do the marathon or things for it but that's not really in the cards. It's pretty known around here but I never really know how far these things spread out - people come from all over the country to get treated at Dana Farber but does the Jimmy Fund go back with it?

So what's the final word on EOD?

Just please don't make it earlier then noon central.

I missed the "don't" on my first read and was about to yell at you. But I guess there's no need. Yes, noon central is about the earliest I can do, and even that's questionable.

Just in case I'm not awake for EOD...

!Foxface

No consensus, so it Will end at 2 central today...and again at midnight central.

I hadn't heard of it before, but I looked it up when you chose it and I'm glad I've heard of it now.

Did you look mine up too? It's great. I've donated cash and comics to them. I gave them a decent sized box of comics suitable for kids 5 and up (because being in the hospital is miserable enough, having some decent reading material makes it easier) and several of the kids made me a thank you card. I think I have a photo of it somewhere.

If I had more suitably aged comics to give them, I'd do it again in a hot minute.

What out for those Mutts. They certainly aren't lap dogs...

Ugh! Midnight central is soooo inconvenient. I was going to be waaaayyyy over there on that big hill howling at the moon and posing for air brush artists.

grrrrrrrrr Ripping someone a new orifice tonight.

Somebody is getting screwed in 12 hour days.

Wow, a ghost town in here. Am I the ONLY one willing to stand the Mutt's stench for more than 30 seconds? Just a gift from growing up poor with siblings I guess.

Our sense of smell is greater than your own. Believe me, meat, if we could we would eat and leave. Your stench smells like the rot of the dead after this many days of living in fear, in the woods without the sense to clean yourselves.

Sense? Sure. Amenities? Well...if you'll loan me your tail for a moment




...yeeeeaahhhh that's the stuff

So...who wants to die today? Anyone?



Foxface, if you want me to kill you say nothing.

Ok cool.

I wonder if the Mutts' votes in-thread are, like Communism, just a red herring.

They voted Neptune in the thread yesterday.

I have someone waiting for me for a meeting, but I've been wanting to point that out since I saw their most current vote. R2T4 waits for ME.

You said you wanted to kill me yesterday!

One did, but when have we ever seen an indy or separate team have to perform their individual team kill in the main thread? I wonder if that's just a plan by them to throw us off. Think of how many boards have already been made for this thing, why would one more have been the cutoff?

You may be over thinking it. I thought the same thing when I saw the vote by Mutt3. It is also essentially guaranteeing that Foxface will be guarding herself today (assuming she has any guards left).

Also assuming she comes to the board within a 36 hour window

so we have any sort of plan for today? Are we going to try and hit the Mutts at all?

Should we all focus on one? that's what's actually gotten people out the last couple days.

Is this thing on?


*taps cornucopia*

Can we afford to focus on just one? Maybe try the same thing we did yesterday?

But then it's only you and me here.

Why would it fail yesterday but work today?

I'm going to guess that blocking the mutts was useless because their lynch went through.

Maybe they had immunity to the first shot and the second will go through but that would mean 6 shots to be rid of them and that's an awful lot of resources used up. I think the more likely scenario is that they are tied to Katniss, as someone previously mentioned. Maybe we should focus on her?

I have no firepower but I can send a block her way. I won't do it though unless someone pledges to attack.

What is the link to Katniss, though? I've seen that posted a couple times but never explained. is it based in the books?

it is a odd thought. i am not tied to them.

also the books: i have not read them b/c the premise to me is just loathesome. kids killing each other for peoples amusement. ugh

We need someone more familiar with the book to shed some light.

If you don't know why did you think it was "the more likely scenario?"

Its not like they make it out to be something that is good in the book. They actually think its horrible too. Just the people in charge don't.
