[QUOTE=Revenant Threshold] Ok, i’ve done complicated sums. Certain combinations of certain rules and items mean that as things stand, **NAF1138** , you are _certainly_ not as out as it would appear. This could certainly change, but you’re definetly not finished. [/QUOTE] That’s what I’d say too, If I knew all the rules, and was in first place, and something was about to happen to bump me into second. ---

If you’re willing to trust me, i’m not first, and the something referred to would probably be better for me. If not, well, **NAF1138** ’s free to drop out and pass items on whenever they want. ---

If not, well, **NAF1138** ’s free to drop out and pass items on whenever they want. [/QUOTE] No no, you talked me into it. I couldn’t see how I could keep playing without ending up giving everything away anyway, so I was figuring I would head it off at the pass. But I think I have my head around it now. At the time it seemed like a good idea, now I think it might have just been subconscious sour grapes. Sorry all. ---
