Hey, no problem. Hope he recovers quickly.
Don’t worry about it just by not playing you’ve beaten 3 people and possibly a fourth. Hope everything turns out well and you can catch us next time out.
I am very disappointed that everyone is just sitting back and letting digger win. Everyone except Ben (and maybe pede) could have gotten themselves back into the game.
**Ok. I guess that calls it then. **
Give me a few seconds to get everything together.
Had a horrible night at work. Asked to take the rest off because of it.
**Are these standings correct?

**The Results. **
**I hope you guys fell in love with this game. **
Frankly, I didn’t fall in love with modding it. But it was an itch I had to scratch. I could attempt more color than this, but it is frankly not in me.

And last but not least :
The Rules!
1.The vase of water is worth 0 points
2.A set of jewelery is 3 of kind, for example, 3 rings.
3.The Box of Chocolates will give you a stomachache, and is valued at -12 points.
4.Red Roses are worth twice the value of Pink Roses.
5.Necklaces are worth three times the value of rings.
6.If you are holding Rule 6 at the end of the game, it will be automatically turned in for you, at -6 points.
7.Pink conversation hearts are worth 2 base points each
8.Pink roses are worth twice the value of White Roses.
9.Earrings are worth twice the value of rings.
10.If you have 12 or more roses in total, rule 20 will not apply to you. [Ed. Note: Don’t hold it against me Digger! :-)]
11.The Pink Forever Yours Conversation heart can be turned in at redemption to “donate” any item you have to another player. The donated item becomes the property of another player before final scores are calculated.
12.White roses are worth two base points.
13.I Love You is 1 4 and 3 letters long. Haggle will love you if you turn in Rule slips 1 4 and 3 together. Doing this awards 15 points in total.
14.Rings are worth two base points
15.White conversation hearts are worth 3 base points each.
16.The White Be Mine conversation heart can be turned in at redemption to steal any one item. It will become yours before final scores are calculated.
17.Love is eternal, and so is getting a rule that says nothing.
18.A set of jewelery awards a 10 point bonus.
19.Red Conversation hearts are worth 1 base point each
20.All roses will die, becoming worthless, unless you redeem them with the vase.
Sweet! I think that may be the lowest score ever!
Good job, NAF.
Antinor, I wish you and Gadarene had been more active, as you had the other jewelry I was trying to collect. 
Yeah, lack of participation made it not the best game ever. Still, it was fun, and may have been the best rule set of any of the games. I hope we can do another game before 2 years pass.
I will never try to run a game and start a new job concurrently ever again. That took it out of me.
Wanted time off from “” jobs “” and I come home, and still feel like I have to be “on”.
NAF : Are you serious with your statements on the rule set?
That was fun. Even if I did overbid, which is what shafted me.
What did other people bid for rule 3? That’s what hurt me.
Well, You had the entire 1-4-3 rule combo that NAF went for at the buzzer…
Also you have the entire fact that rule 3 describes the chocolate.
So, I think 3 had more value than other rules. At least you didn’t bid on 17. 
Then again, in Dragons hoard, “rule” 17 was “rule” 3, and I think I overspent on it back then. Obligatory;
3.Hi Opal!
I tried to get two sets of jewelry together(rings and necklaces), but Gadarene had some of them and Antinor had the other.
I bid on Gadarene’s jewelry item, but I wasn’t sure how much to bid and couldn’t make it happen. Antinor never replied to my offer for his stuff.
I’m still not clear on why Gad left the game. I think the answer will join the meaning of Stonehenge, The Pyramids, and the number of licks to the center of a tootsie roll pop.
I didn’t have rules 1 or 4. I should have done something with R3 to keep NAF’s paws off of it, if I had remembered he had the Be Mine heart.
I didn’t bid on R17 because I owned the other copy. I also started with a copy of R6. Just my luck.
It seems to me that trading items too soon is risky, until you know enough rules to properly evaluate the trade of items. Now I know for next time to not trade items too soon.
Meeko, care to run a Haggle game over at the Geeb?
