Cool.

Grats, Han! A very strongly played game.

Poughkeepsie State Flying Cougars FOREVER!

You mean, other than me, secretly the bad guy the whole time.

Not for much longer, though. To me, the real shock is how badly everything has failed OS.

I might hold off on prelim scoring...

Hmm. So, that's basically it for the OW predicts, isn't it?

Another hero saving the world with mumbling (or at least trying).

Sure, why not? Of course, thats assuming I don't achieve global domination in Survivor which woiluld make this academic.

Magnificent. /sheds tear

Thats how I saw it, too. Was staggering. Great sound is also key for Dunkirk.

I've read the book. Its good, but a little disjointed. Its really two stories, with the first one setting up the context for the second one. But, oddly, the first one is a nicely put together story (though it starts dragging near the end) while the second one, which he spent all that time setting up and feels like the story he wanted to tell, wanders around aimlessly. It spends all its time on world-building rather than fleshing out the characters or the plot. Really, the first story should have been the book, with the beginning of the second story the epilogue. If it did well, he could have used the rest of the second story as the starting point to the sequel. Plus, he'd have had more time to think it through.

From 14 to 15 to 16! My ascent is unstoppable!

Not quite all done. Top 5 right now are: 1) TF 2) PotC 3) GotG 4) Mummy 5) WW Those top 2 are set in stone. Mummy and WW are close to each other, but they're both almost done with their runs and it'd be pretty much impossible for WW to make it to 4th. But DM3 just opened to ~64M and has a very good chance of passing WW or Mummy, and if things really go its way, it might even sneak past GotG into 3rd, but I think that's unlikely. My gut feeling is that China will end up looking like: 1) TF - 230M 2) PotC - 172M 3) GotG2 - 101M 4) DM3 - 95M 5) Mummy - 91M

Hrm. I've been in the top half in each of the last 2 tables. That makes me feel like you're doing it wrong somehow, but I haven't figured out quite how yet.

Plus, of course, I'll be mind controlling you all from the judges' boat to keep you from discovering my real name is Ricmond Valentine. Oops.

Ah well. No hard feelings and I feel nothing but satisfaction at losing to a fellow Flying Cougar. It was a great ride, and while I guess I would have preferred to win, I had a tough time voting against a Flying Cougar. In fact, before we lost Goffe I toyed with the idea of simply resigning from the game if we were the final 5, figuring that however it turned out, we'd already won. I kinda feel that way now. We were a heck of a team.

Damn. So close to massive bloodshed on the SM one.

What is this! I must have this!
