I’d be wary if I felt a draft. I had a friend name Plugh, and that it was always perinent to answer for the honesty virtue to the gypsy lady as two Mariah’s were better than two Geoffreys. I learned that Trebor was really Robert reversed. I knew that you really needed the satchel to keep the robots from going thru the trap door. I knew that my humans would go comotose in the Nebula, that getting to Watertown required knowing Rumplestiltskin, and Kefka was a real bastard. That the Council of Light was really a cult and the Order of Voln was the real thing, and that Diesel never gave you a free drink.

I would say, can’t score two in a row and/or can’t score two within 24 hours. That prevents the “run the table” approach without being too nitpicky on when something is officially in play / when the photo was taken, which we seem to agree is good for a number of reasons.

I also think, since Tim the Enchanter is the one to officially post the scores, it would make sense for him to have the right to NOT award points to a rules violator EVEN WHEN that post gets the requisite number of likes. I think a “Like” should indicate “This photo counts as a photo of that event,” and no more; it’s too much to expect everyone on the forums to be experts on NOTORIOUS jurisprudence.

In two minutes after my post you went out, took this picture, and then posted it??

One more time. Picture is to be taken after the item is put into play.

I would request that you withdraw the above and play by the spirit of the game.

Why start now? The way play has gone so far, the rules are more like guidelines, and the only de facto requirement is getting three votes. (I wasn’t even aware of the net vs. gross likes distinction.)

When Puerto Rican revolutionaries made an attempt on Truman’s life in 1950, the White House was being renovated, so the president was staying at Blair House.

Sorry – it’ll probably be a few weeks until we’re given license to bike to Virginia again on the weekend (nothing against Virginia – it just requires more mileage than my wife would prefer). I also need to come up with another bribe idea…

megoc42 and I could possibly convince our young’n to do a DC-based #withkid group ride.

Taking the Calvinball across state lines is worth 10 points. Going between MoCo — PG, Arlington — Alexandria, or from one quadrant of DC to another is worth 3 points. Taking it to Fairfax, Loudoun, etc. gets you minus points because who has the time for that?
