[Twistedspoon]

Shaddup, I am copy/pasting and watching NCIS.

[xtopherusD]

Personally, I liked Notch.

[RichardGHP]

watching NCIS

Voilà

the reason I took as long as I did for the first challenge.

[Xalxe]

As a note, any category that refers to "you" does not have to just be you specifically. For example, "peanuts" would still count in the allergy category, even if you're not allergic, because many are.

[Scigatt]

Nothing was here. At all.

[Scigatt]

Where's the results?

[Twistedspoon]

:/

[xofelf]

I'd imagine it has something to do with Easter being this weekend. Considering I haven't seen Xalxe around at all in the last few days. Let's just wait and give him the benefit of the doubt.

He is currently being distracted by other family matters and a pretty girl. Stuff will be up soon. I'll go smack him and remind him now. For now, treat this like Easter break (cause it is).

I would like it on the record that he never did this because he's a terrible brother.

ANYWAY, yes, I was very very busy this weekend and was unable to do results without killing myself, so my deepest apologies. I'll get on those now, but we won't be behind as I was planning on giving the game Easter weekend off anyway (because I knew this would happen, I just thought I'd get these out first).

Dear person who submitted "Bowling for Columbine" as a funny movie,

Please enjoy hell. Also no points for you.

1. How did you choose to rank the players on this list?
   
2. Who moved the most on your list and why?
   
3. How do the eliminations of TheBadOne and xofelf affect your play this round?
   
4. Who is the most dominant player in the game right now? Is that good or bad for you?
   
5. What are your thoughts on the jury so far?
   
6. (If applicable): Why do you think someone saved you in the Temple of Fate? Did you expect someone else to?
   
7. (If applicable): Are you happy about who you saved in the Temple of Fate? Or would you rather have saved someone else?

[D3f3nd3r]

OMG I didn't come in last!

Why were the two players starred? Tiebreaker?

[Xalxe]

OMG I didn't come in last!

Why were the two players starred? Tiebreaker?

Indeed. The tiebreaker put the two of their submissions up against each other only, and Twistedspoon scored more points that way.

[xtopherusD]

Well, looks like I'm never playing Scattergories again

[Scigatt]

Now I'm wondering what

7

6 things I matched with someone else.

I figured Moore's film-making injected some humour in there, regardless of the darkness of the subject matter. I figured I had the best chance with that than with anything else I could think of.
Could this have cost me 1st/2nd?
