I thought that was what you meant but I couldn’t tell if it was somehow related to your non-affinity for makeup sex.

Should we send you our statements for round three now, or wait?

He’s accepting those now, but away on a trip at the moment.

There’s been no action in two days, so I assume that’s from the Boss bein’ on a trip? We’re not halfway through Round 2, so sending in statements for Round 3 seems premature. I’ve never, ever, submitted an entry so far in advance…

And now the boss is back 🙂

I had a very good trip, thankyouverymuch! Got to enjoy some snow, loads of good food, meet some relatives I haven’t seen for ages went swimming in the thermal pools.

Now let’s get back to business!

But first, I’m gonna update the squidsheet.

ETA: Which I’ve now [done](http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=pdvHjMZSDCGFCQODnHv-1MQ). I went with a no for RNATB, right?

The next statement will be up as soon as Elendil’s Heir posts it… I managed to delete it when I deleted the “round 1” statements ☹

So please don’t send any “round 3” statements just yet 🙂

Oops! I thought I we were up- I guess that was round 2 I was remembering! Sorry!

Thank goodness the boss is back!

How did I get only 14 squids from my statement? It looks to me like I should have gone from 15 to 35, not 29.

You are quite correct! I have changed it, but for some reason it doesn’t want to publish the changed version.

And to you all, please don’t send round 3 statements yet - I’m bound to accidentally delete them or something.

Once. Not even 24 hours. But I was there. One money-losing squid, for you.

**We drove through Las Vegas on our 6-week Western vacation when I was 14, but we didn’t stop. But I guess that still counts**

I thought someone earlier had said something about the efficiency of sending all three statements in at once, and I thought I had missed a memo. Good to know I still have time to think.

And I do NOT understand the scoring on this at all…

Nope. The brilliance was to send in the statements for each round in turn 🙂 That way we don’t have to wait for specific players to show up to post when it’s their turn (since I’m spending waay to much time here anyway).

> [@kittenblue](#):

Scores are easy 🙂

1.st round: You give 1 squid per yes  
2.nd round: You give 2 squids per yes  
3.d round: You abandon 5 poor lonely squids on a deserted island (nobody gets new squids that round)

And you guys have to check your scores and let me know when I make a mistake.
