The Final Days - Lambs to the Slaughter

Actually, who am I kidding. Could there ever be enough Kristen Bell?

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the lack of 30 second buffer between posts, btw.

THANKS JON! (or Shyka, whoever did that for me)

I promise you won't regret it.

Haha, me too. I thought you were the most "obvious" and was mouth agape no one had you pegged (except SI!, of course.)

Ahem. See my day 1 list.

I tried to brag on it in the game makers thread, but it reposted as veggies and I didn't have the energy to translate. Masterful.

As I told jon, without a player list to try and guess from (or match up), I didnt think it was worth the effort to even try to figure out who was who, so I didnt approach it from that standpoint. Turns out, that is what he was going for....

Yeah, I didn't actively try to figure out who was who either. I enjoyed not knowing who everybody was and based my decisions solely (mostly) on the in game posts.

(Oh, and, btw, I don't have any cats.)

Big ditto. I think that was one of the first things I set up over here, but shyka has helped so much with the back end, it is hard to keep it straight. She was a big help with board logistics.

Not enought Kristen Bell, though.

Queen of resourcefulness was insufficient?

I didn't say insufficient.

Stop putting words in my mouth!

Slithy, I racked my message board detective skills for hours trying to figure out who you were. It was the Paul Lynde reference that really threw me off. I thought it would help narrow you down, but it didn't.

My favorite thing was the mutt/ghost board completely convinced that Poker was Starbuck. Huh?

That was all my fault.

Nice game, Neptune. I figured if I didn't multiquote that first day and did the long catch up string of posts that someone out there might think I was you.

Then days later I tried to multiquote but I couldn't get it to work.

if I'd been thinking more clearly from the beginning I would have tried to ape a different posters' style each day.

I really did think you were LO off the bat. In fact, when LO dropped hints about who he was, I read them as pointed towards you, not himself. Once I learned that you weren't, though, I did guess correctly.

I wasn't actively trying to until I was dead. But I couldn't help but wonder.

I thought he was Poker, but due to something ROLL TIDE! said, Askewd said it was Starbuck and I went with it. And I kept trying to read his posts as Buck but was still stuck on the Poker thing. I was glad when I realized I was right the first time around.

I had you pegged the quickest.

It's set to 10 seconds at the moment, and it's configurable.

Nobody even noticed the favicon I set up

I really dig the "someone posted since you started typing" window.

Because I still can't see it. Did you replace the one I failed to get to work before you came aboard, then?

I replaced it ages ago, before the game even started, I just never said anything. You really can't see it? What browser are you using? I can see it in IE9, Firefox 10 and Safari 5. The original one was that stupid green speech bubble.

Oh, I made a favicon in Photoshop and tried to upload it, but I could never see if it worked or not. I'm using Chrome at home and Rockmelt at work. Neither can see it. I have no favicon at all. Just the standard globe.

To double, or not to double.....that is the question.

I'm on Safari, and I have no idea what you are talking about.

Look at the little icon on the tab for this page.

(I think that's what they're talking aboot.)

It looks legit. (in the lingo of my day-old teenage son.)

How long do we have to edit a post before it shows as having been edited? Is there a time limit or is it until someone posts after you?

(I gues I could test it but I'm too lazy so I'll expend more energy just asking.)

I think it's just as long as nobody's posted yet.

But the ability to edit a post is only an option for 1 day and then you can no longer edit it.

But for an Admin the behaviour is weird and inconsistent.

Thank you, Shyka, I received my email.

I disabled mine sometime on day one.

It was during the hunt for the way to shut down e-mail notifications, but I left it off anyway.

I will say that it is a pretty neat feature tho.

I got mine. Thank you very much.

It feels odd to win something playing these games though.

I'm just appreciative of the donation to the children's hospital.

My kids are the most important part of my life and it's truly my charity of choice.

Kids should never have to spend ANY time in a hospital, but when they do they should have the very best of everything to help them get better or at least to distract them from the stress of it.

That's how I feel. I'm just happy to get the win. To get a prize with it...well, y'all are pretty freakin awesome. Thanks again for the game!

I read through some of the Alliance threads and I love the fact they were able to pool their resources. That each person had a particular power with their token, but that the other items didn't die with a particular person.

I really loved this game! Thanks for all the thought and work you put into it!

Jon, kellly, Penny, Jons better half... thanks to all for the game. Very excellent.

I think it was you that finally figured out Cato was Jennnnnnie right?

Askewd didn't even realize I was playing but I'm not shocked to see he was the first to make an attempt on my life lol

Celtic wrote:

I thought Cato initially was 4-head thanks to the devotion to (and style of) the RP-ing. Good job by Jennie hiding who she was.

Thanks. I had just finished watching the first season of Spartacus. I was just RPing as a gladiator. My intention was to play it up so no one would kill me for being me.

Ana wrote:

Uh, WOW, I only just learned from reading Cato's board that we were supposed to use one of our items AND do one of the other actions. I thought our token's power was the primary power use. Well crap, we coulda done more there.

Then again, we didn't even know we had a lynch to work with until it was spelled out.

I realized after the alliances broke up that other people didn't know this. I used it to my advantage. The day I saved Clove and I, I used both medical supplies because I knew at least 1 would be blocked.

Hey Jennie - I watched Hedwig last night. I really liked it. I can't believe I didn't see it when it first came out. (Then I realized I had a 2-year old and a newborn. I know I've missed out on quite a bit since then!)

But thanks to you and your raving about it and the tattoosI finally got around to seeing it. I'll definitely be watching it again. Probably even buy it, too. AND the soundtrack!

I put on some make-up, and turn up the eight-track...

It's so wonderful, isn't it. A brilliant love story and Origin of Love makes me weepy just thinking about it.

The soundtrack is so totally worth it.

You can get all enraged with Angry Inch, swoon along with Origin of Love, dance your ass off to Wig in a Box, rock out to Midnight Radio. IT'S ALL SO GREAT.

...I'm pulling the wig down from the shelf.

My kids know a lot of the songs now because it's on my ipod. Good stuff. I'm really glad you liked it. Add one more to the list of converts, ROLL TIDE! .

I guess I'll have to call you kellly, then.
