Know what’s sad? When you’ve been watching the thread so closely, the following happens:
“Ooo, look, the thread has been updated! I wonder if night is over? Oh, wait, no…SCL is the latest poster, but the thread is now at 1,778 posts and it was at 1,777 before, so Gadarene hasn’t posted.”

Know what’s possibly sadder? When you post purely to make sure the thread doesn’t fall of the first page so it remains easy to check from work…
Please could whoever’s taking the time, please get a move on!
Since it’s slow over here right now I think it would be OK to spam for a different game in case anyone following this thread is interested.
chrisk has set up a game of Haggle over in this thread, and there are still slots open for more players. The game is due to start up tonight or tomorrow.
Unfortunately, at this point I’d rather dawn wait until morning (wow, that would sound like a very odd thing to say if you didn’t know we were playing a game). Otherwise, the end of the Day Six will be in the middle of the night – not the best time for getting those final votes in.
Well, Gadarene is offline, so I’m not holding out hope that dawn will come in the next few minutes. Off to bed for me…
Well, it was. A little bit ago. I’m OK, as is my husband. No one is hurt. But nothing gets you in the gut quite like walking down your street only to see that the firetrucks are at YOUR house tonight.
(There, that ought to inject some excitement into this thread.)

Whoa! Thank goodness no one was hurt. How bad was the damage?

One apartment on the ground floor (three floors directly below me) seems to be completely incinerated. And the firefighters smashed some windows on the second floor and the skylight on the top (5th) floor, so there’s some glass lying around. I’m going to wash a bunch of stuff because everything smells smoky. (And because I’m afraid we have bedbugs again, but that’s another story.)

Ah, life in New York.

Glad to hear you are ok, and the worst of it was smoke damage, and best of luck with the cleanup.
(Signs you’ve been playing mafia too long:
No 35. When a poster’s block of flats catches fire, your first reaction once you know they are alright is the urge to make a completely tactless and unfunny comment about the scum trying reallife night-kills.
Before things start back up again, I just want to remind everyone that Mrs. WeHaveCookies and I are having our commitment ceremony this weekend. We’re flying to Vegas on Friday morning, driving to Zion Nat’l Park in Utah to rendezvous with 16 or so friends and family for a couple of days, then it is back to Vegas for a day or so and home on Tuesday evening.
I will be posting during that time, but probably only one or two good posts per day, or whenever I need to find a few quiet moments by myself.
