**tater** , if you want, you can forge my name twice. I’m dying of anticipation and need to know what this special project is! ---

Tater, you can use my sig too! (I suspect you’ve already decided to use it anyway…) 😉 Trust me Dopers, this is for an excellent cause. ---

Bwahahahahaha…all my plans are falling into place! BTW, the deadline, in case I wasn’t very clear is has been moved up to midnight, Eastern Time, Wednesday. I, um, forgotded that Thanksgiving isn’t a holiday in Germany. At least not on the day we celebrate it. :o Well, it’s not like they have a college or even a correspondence school for evil plots! ---

Forge on. It will be interesting to see how you handle the transition. I tried several times and could not get anything that looked right to me. Have fun 🙂 ---

Hoo Ahh! So far I have 85 signatures, but I need more! Um, as a carrot, lets say that anyone who signs gets first peek at what the big deal is? Say 24 hours notice before the rest of the board? How about that, huh? Huh? 😃 And thanks everybody who has participated. You truly are the finest people on the board! ---

I should have my scanner working this evening–failing that, I’ll just draw it in PsP. I’m always glad to help out someone just getting her start in evil scheming. ---

Since I don’t have a scanner, but I _do_ have a pixelised photo stored on my HD somewhere, I’ll send you the photo. (I was twelve then, and cute.) The signature will have to be faked. Use a very **thin** pencil, please. 😉 ---

Your claimed lack of education in matters evil leads one to assume…well, I learned through apprenticeship myself so I suppose it doesn’t really matter. At any rate, my signature is on its way. ---

I just sent mine - I hope it’s not too late to help. I’m a sucker for vague, mysterious promises. ---

> [@](#): > > Your claimed lack of education in matters evil leads one to assume…well, I learned through apprenticeship myself so I suppose it doesn’t really matter. True enough, Balance, and really, can one claim to _ever_ be finished in their education in evil? Although, I have to say this is the biggest, most evil project I have ever tried to pull off. And you know, it makes me a little wistful, thinking that I might be at my peak now, at the age of 26. I’m not sure how I, or anybody else for that matter, can ever top this. So, please, people who have held off until now, won’t you be a part of tater’s last evil project? ---

Tater - for you, I’m going to email you a real sig (in lieu of forging it). As you are one of my favorite people, I figure it’s about time I learned how to work the damn scanner here! 😃 Look for it in about 20 minutes. ---

I’m in. I have a scanner, but the amount of manpower and time it would take to actually press the power button is far too great. So, in the name of laziness, you can go ahead and forge mine. Try and make it superhero looking. Whatever that means.
