Last game of the quarter results:

1 dag  
2 root  
3 moi, putting a death grip on the basement

Three-way is not all that much fun, as far as I’m concerned. The game just drags at the beginning.

Final standings:

1 Dag Otto 69.7  
2 Gut 64.4  
3 Miss Take 63.2  
4 Asterion 61.2  
5 Yeticus Rex 57.4  
6 Duke of Rat 50.0  
7 Robot Arm 42.0  
8 Oslo Ostragoth 35.9

Wins:

6 dag  
3 missy  
2 ast  
1 duke, yeti

Cashes:

9 dag  
6 missy  
5 root  
4 ast, duke, gut, yeti  
2 oslo  
1 kyy

Bubbles:

3 dag  
2 ast, missy  
1 duke, gut, kyy, Oslo, root

Put another one in the books, folks. And get those noggins working on the theme for the next quarter.
