Well, the bar’s open, and once again, flyfisheron’s tab has been mysteriously left open. Order up before her credit line gets cancelled! But, CIAS: Humans don’t drink dog, we drink booze.

The beer CIAS may have had in mind (and I certainly did) is Dogbolter, which used to be brewed in the [Firkin pubs](http://www.armfield.freeserve.co.uk/travel/firkin.htm). Two pints please. ---

Pheonix my pint I’ll Firkin thump him (as their advertising thing was for their pheonix beer.). Good beer make that a third for a rather grateful to be alive me. Deeply sucks about flyfish though. In a similar vein I would recommend some of the wytchwood brewery beers such as hobgoblin.. Just leave the bar open Boozyhol, we can help ourselves I am sure. ---

My apologies to all for royally screwing up this game… Started a new job this week that has allowed me about 4 hours of free time a day which I have used for sleeping. Currently, I’m not even sure what point we are at in the **Day**. Don’t want to be mod-killed as this would be unfair to the Humans, and not sure if it’s possible to be subbed at this point (considering the number of points against me). Can the mod provide some input please ---

Barn door and horse don’t you know **FF**. But no worries RL does happen and this is only a game. Please try again. **Bombshell Alert** And I trust this is not considered strategizing. If so, Meh. I have looked back over the previous two days votes and how the borda voting system semi complicates patterns and such and I think I may have found a town influenced game breaker. And let me tell you this was tough because of the static that multiple votes from each can provide. None the less here is what I have come up with after countless hours of analyzing each players’ voting history. It appears, based on two data points, that the person with the most first place votes gets lynched. Therefore, as town, all we need do is make sure that a scum gets the most first place votes. That should help a whole bunch. Toldya, that it was a bombshell. ---

And to keep the wheat separated from the chaff and also to annoy **Potential Ceviche**. Got a golf tourney firing up in about an hour. Seems like a semi decent enough group of souls considering that everyone has to take a shot of tequilla before teeing of. Course everone knows that it should be Vodka before 8 and then on to the Teq. Ain’t gonna tell ‘em though since I don’t want to come off all high fallootin’. ---

Just about everyone’s a newbie and just about everyone thinks Santo’s a pompous, opinionated ass so it’s all good 😃 It’s a lot faster than on here though - typical Day lasts 48-72 hours tops and there’s a fair bit of fluff. The games are much more basic so you might find it quite a relaxing change of pace. ---

Effin’ heck. 45 wins it (27 under). I mean handicaps are one thing but, seriously, WTF. I’d be embarrassed to sign for that score. Look you in the eyes and not blink once. Phuquers.

> [@pedescribe](#): > > So, do you have…like…a random string generator to fill out your posts, or what? I…some of it makes sense…I think. Ahh…brain hurts…ow ow ow ow Ok, let me type slow and maybe you will get it. We had a 4 ball handicapped scramble today. Everyone got a throwsie and a mulligan. Better players from the blues while women and AARP from the stones. Had a couple of 100+ plus with me skeeving a 4. Got an 8 on the help. Shoot pure 65 gross - 57 net. And this still lose by twelve. I don’t mind losing but sheesh the winning team shot gross 47 and 45 net. Mother of Og. That is 25 under **GROSS** FCS. That’s birdie - eagle for the whole fucking round. I mean the throswies are worth 4 and the mullies are worth .5 (approximately) but still 45. Don’t turn that bad boy in. Of course second was 46 and third was 47. First liar doesn’t have a chance. Hope this helps. Tee time manana is 7 a.m. Let’s grip and rip. ---
