[Farren]

Mod error on the scores. They don't add up properly. Double-checking to see where the mess-up is.

[Farren]

During Round 3-6, I did not deduct the Life Preserver from pablito's total. pablito should be at one Life Preserver remaining, not two. My apologies for the error.

Correct totals:

Wait, my tide card should still be zero. Pablito got the 7, right?

Oops, you're correct. Fixing now.

[Farren]

Everyone's in! Will resolve sometime in the next two hours or sooner - dinner time at the moment.

[Farren]

All right, time to resolve. Note - NotAJumbleOfNumbers submitted a card that he did not have in his hand, and did not respond to my PM before I was ready to resolve. Per the activity rules, I have changed the number to the closest number that he had to what he submitted, rounding down in the event of a tie.

Charles510 plays a 17.
pablito plays a 22. All three are safe.

vincentw plays a 54, which is the highest Weather card. He discards the 10 and replaces it with the 1.
