will you be able to mod the 3rd game if not I'll take over.

Actually, I'd rather not mod the third game. I'll play it, but as I've mentioned elsewhere I'm trying to cut down on my commitments.

ok, then I'll do it.

I must have a place in it, whoever mods it.

then you have to sign up when it starts.

I'd say that unless skoffin posts soon, that'll do it for her. She said she'd be back in 24 hours. :cry:

Okay, totally legit excuse. Hope everything's okay with your ticker.

Well I'm told it beats, so I suppose that's all good! However I have to go back tomorrow for a blood test.

Geeze, I only went in for a vaccination!

Argh. Consider a premature signup? I know it's going to be started when II'm sleeping.

That's more than 24 hours. It is in fact 26 1/2 hours from Incan's letter.

This wouldn't be the first time we've cut people some slack. 26.5 hours instead of 24, especially with her excuse, doesn't bug me, and I'd say it's a close enough amount of time that she shouldn't get her fifth letter.

Actually, there was definitely a time when you cut in right before my time ran up.

1. No one, to my knowledge, has been denied their 24 hours
2. the 24 hour rule has been rather loosely enforced thus far
3. if you'd shown up 26.5 hours after the previous letter and said that you had actual RL commitments (soccer practice, doctor visit, whatever), I'm sure you would have been granted a dispensation.

Ultimately, I don't even know why I'm fighting you on this. Better for me that Skoffin gets a letter and goes. But I hate to see someone get their final letter because of an unexpectedly long doctor's appointment.

pancake, it's 2 against one, Majaroty rules, skoffin shouldn 't get a letter, deal with it

Aimless · Post by **Aimless** » Wed Sep 05, 2007 4:27 pm

Look... I meant it when I said that now that I'm out of the game I'd appreciate it if someone else took over modding duties, but...

On this one, as the still official mod (since no one else has volunteered to take over), I'm going to put my foot down. Skoffin's letter counts.

The word is "Hippia," next letter to pcm.

Thanks for the ruling, aim. gl in the big jedi game.

Haha, thanks.

It's interesting to be on the player side, as opposed to the mod side, of one of these big games.

pancakemix · Post by **pancakemix** » Wed Sep 05, 2007 5:14 pm

Grr... fine then.

Not like it really matters. Challenge.

It's even moer interesting to play both sides.

I don't suppse Hippias counts? :lol:

I'll take over for the rest of this game if you really want, Aim.

Aimless · Post by **Aimless** » Wed Sep 05, 2007 11:41 pm

Nah, I guess I can handle it.

And, as for Hippias, names of Athenian tyrants don't count. Skoffin's out, new word to Incan.

Must you make my knowlegde of ancient history useless? :evil:

I got screwed at the beginning, the first three letters were due to me not being on :lol:

I'll win the next one.

Aimless · Post by **Aimless** » Wed Sep 05, 2007 11:52 pm

If I can't use my knowledge of quantum field theory, you don't get to use your knowledge of ancient history. :twisted:

Fircoal · Post by **Fircoal** » Wed Sep 05, 2007 11:53 pm

And If I can't use my knowledge of knowing all 493 of the Pokemon then you can't use the knowlegde of the quantum field theory, or anceint history.

(now only if I knew how to spell at 493.

)

Incandenza · Post by **Incandenza** » Thu Sep 06, 2007 1:53 pm

P

So we can't use words from the following knowledge sets, I guess:
ancient history
quantum field theory
pokemon
words Incandenza just made up on the spot

Got it.
