I want to be on Hobbes’ team, because Hobbes rules. I also want a stuffed tiger for Christmas; can anyone arrange that? I’m working on thinking up a good special ability. Will we get notified in advance before the Special Abilities Thread gets started? ---

And don’t toss it, someone might drop it 😉 Oh, and Totoro, we should do this by Hobbes’ Creek instead of Mt. Washington. It’s just cooler. 🙂 ---

Silly question…I’ll take the Winning Team, of course! What? Oh, all right…we won’t make that up until the game starts. I’ll take Hobbes’ team. You guys are going to _hate_ my special ability. 🙂 ---

Me me me! I wanna play! I’m a slimy girl, so I will be on Hobbe’s team. I do have an ability if you check my profile- Not only can I can i make people commit suicide if I hate them enough, but I can also bring roadkill back to life, with wheels and wings and extra heads and the like. Really! Oh, and i have access to a time machine, and all of the HOBBES team can use it. ---

I suppose I’ll be the first “ref”! 😃 [sub]Bribes under $500 will not be accepted and violators will be heavily prosecuted. Visa, Discover and Mastercard welcome![/sub] 😃 ---

I wanna be a ref as well. Bribes under $350 will be doubled, then subtracted from 350 and that number doubled together with the original number to . . . bribes under $350 will not be accepted by me. ---

Alright, great everybody. As for the three team thing, that sound like a good idea, but we’ll try that in the second match-up. I like the hobbes creek idea, that’s great. We’ll work out most of the details later though. Only 6 more days until the teams are decided! Remember, you may end up on a team other than the one you want… but that won’t stop you during the game… Idiotboy, as our first volunteer, you are our first “REF!” There are two other ref spaces open people, and if they’re not filled up, then I guess I’LL do it… ---
