LoneStarGirl · 02-06-2007, 10:28 PM

I figured it would be me. oh well. its not the first time i have been killed off by ntn and path

Jonathan Ezarik · 02-06-2007, 10:30 PM

Well this sucks. I hope we don't have to go through this again (although I know the chances are we will).

ntndeacon · 02-06-2007, 10:32 PM

it did suck. I hope we dont do that next time. At least this last challenge wasn't as based on the # of folks in the tribe.

Marathoner · 02-06-2007, 10:33 PM

I agree, I also thought we had the best poems by far.

path12 · 02-06-2007, 10:35 PM

I'm sorry LSG. I enjoy having you around. I just felt that you were going to be busy during the days.

Jonathan Ezarik · 02-06-2007, 10:36 PM

I'm pretty upset that we didn't win today. Especially after reading Lupus' entry for a limerick (which it isn't one, unless "victims" and "lupines" rhymes in some ear other than mine). I think we got hosed by some of the judges not being familiar with FOFC outside of WW. (How do you not know JB?) And being penalized for not having a true English sonnet? Um, that wasn't the goal. A poem with a rhyming pattern was all that was required.

I'll get over it. Some day.

Wonder Twin powers, Activate!

path12 · 02-06-2007, 10:41 PM

Talgian was the wild card. I believe he's a friend of Barkeep's IRL and doesn't visit here except for the occasional WW game.

path12 · 02-06-2007, 10:42 PM

And yeah, that didn't rhyme at all so I don't know what was up there. Frankly, I didn't like any of the Oz ones at all.

Barkeep49 · 02-06-2007, 10:43 PM

Tomorrow's challenge SHOULD have no discretion involved at all so I'll be fascinated to see what you're railing against then

Jonathan Ezarik · 02-06-2007, 10:44 PM

Doesn't mean he should deduct points because we don't have a true English sonnet!!! And at least our limerick is a limerick!!!

Sorry, had to get that off my chest.

Oh I'm sure we'll think of something.....

For the record, I'm not mad anymore. Still disagree with it, but I'm not mad.

Well, honestly, lupines and victims doesn't rhyme. Therefore, what they had wasn't a limerick. I can't believe they got away with that and we got penalized for not having iambic patterns?

I know it doesn't really matter. If this was for immunity I would be raising hell in the main thread. But I don't like to lose.

Marathoner · 02-06-2007, 10:47 PM

As per barkeep's reference in the common thread, I'll check from time to time throughout the day. Won't be able to log on until 9am though.

path12 · 02-06-2007, 10:49 PM

OK, time sensitive tomorrow. My likely WW availability (I'm west coast so this is Pacific time)

8:15 ish till 9:30
11:00ish till 4:00
Sometime in the 6:30-7:00 period before deadline but not sure how much.

The other times listed I'll be checking in and out, but should be able to keep track fairly easily unless some big problem pops up.

Barkeep49 · 02-06-2007, 10:49 PM

Tree mail

Tomorrow you have to vote
And not a second late
For that will decide your fate

And for which it might be the last date

Jonathan Ezarik · 02-06-2007, 10:50 PM

I should be around all day tomorrow. I don't have anything planned, but something might come up that takes me away from being online.

Marathoner · 02-06-2007, 10:51 PM

what does that mean?

path12 · 02-06-2007, 10:51 PM

Yeah, I've got the two conference calls morning and late afternoon where I won't be around for sure.

Marathoner · 02-06-2007, 10:52 PM

goodnight all, sleep tight

ntndeacon · 02-06-2007, 11:02 PM

my availability is :
10-11
2-4
5:45-6:45
all in Central time

path12 · 02-06-2007, 11:19 PM

Alright, I'm out. Let's kick ass tomorrow!

Jonathan Ezarik · 02-07-2007, 09:59 AM

Here are the times we have to vote today:

Quote:

The times are:

9:53
10:30
12:00
1:15
3:00
5:00
7:30
9:48
9:59 (votes must be in by 10:00)

I've already done the first one, who wants what?

Jonathan Ezarik · 02-07-2007, 10:25 AM

I'll take the second slot as well.

Jonathan Ezarik · 02-07-2007, 10:26 AM

Time check.

Jonathan Ezarik · 02-07-2007, 10:28 AM

Again.

Marathoner · 02-07-2007, 10:28 AM

I'll get noon

Jonathan Ezarik · 02-07-2007, 10:28 AM

This is going to be tough to get right. Every clock I have is off with the board's time.

Marathoner · 02-07-2007, 10:29 AM

Sounds good, Marathoner.

Jonathan Ezarik · 02-07-2007, 10:30 AM

Well, I can't vote now.

path12 · 02-07-2007, 11:24 AM

So we just pick a name at random on another team to vote, right?

I'll be on a conference call for the 1:15 one, but I can take both the 3:00 and 5:00 eastern ones.

Jonathan Ezarik · 02-07-2007, 11:26 AM

We can do a random vote, or we can keep going after the same person. BK said that whomever received the most votes, something bad would happen to them. I don't know if that's something we want to go after or just do random, but it's something to think about.

path12 · 02-07-2007, 11:28 AM

I've got no problem with voting Ardent. I'm time checking this post to see how synced I am with the board.

path12 · 02-07-2007, 11:28 AM

Another time check.

path12 · 02-07-2007, 11:29 AM

And one more.

path12 · 02-07-2007, 11:29 AM

Looks like my comp clock is pretty close.

path12 · 02-07-2007, 11:31 AM

The question is whether it's more advantageous to pile up votes on someone or to try and pick someone who's likely to be voting that round in order to try and screw their vote -- of course there's a lot more risk in that.

Jonathan Ezarik · 02-07-2007, 11:32 AM

My computer's clock is about two minutes fast, another clock is one minute fast, and my cell phone is somewhere in between. I did find an old watch with a second hand that I've been using to time the board and I think I've got it down, now. Just wish I had found it earlier.

ntndeacon · 02-07-2007, 11:33 AM

I can get the 3:00 slot

Jonathan Ezarik · 02-07-2007, 11:33 AM

My first vote was more of a guess to block a vote. Oz was the only team that hadn't voted yet, so I figured I would vote for one of them. My second vote was going to be for Gramm, and it would have blocked him if Ardent hadn't voted me first.

path12 · 02-07-2007, 11:34 AM

So ntn should definitely have the 7:30 slot since that should match up with the availability he mentioned before. That ensures we're all in.

Jonathan Ezarik · 02-07-2007, 11:34 AM

I'll take 1:15. Path, does 5:00 work for you?

ntndeacon · 02-07-2007, 11:35 AM

like maybe ardent?

path12 · 02-07-2007, 11:35 AM

Dola, or the 3:00 of course. I'll take the 5:00 then.

ntndeacon · 02-07-2007, 11:36 AM

sure I can do the 7:30 one

path12 · 02-07-2007, 11:36 AM

I should also be able to grab the 7:30 one.

path12 · 02-07-2007, 11:36 AM

heh. Crossposting is fun!
