And for what it’s worth, i’m enjoying keeping tabs on 1099 more than Minime. ---

How many tabs can you keep on a game thats had all of one turn? ---

I think it’s only fair to point out that it’s not quite sporting to compare the intensity of the fighting between a game that’s just finished 1903 and a game that’s just started 1901. Hey you all. Check out that minime website and _get heckling_. I just [criticized your performance as Turkey mercilessly](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&postid=3029591#post3029591) in the 1092 thread, **garius**. I wanna see you respond in kind! And you, **Wikkit**! You think just because you’re participating in a game now your responsibilities as a kibbitzer are over? Not so! ---

fair enough - i’ll try and respond in kind - but it will have to wait until tomorrow. its 1am here and i need my beauty sleep! 😉 ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by White Lightning \* > **And you, Wikkit! You think just because you’re participating in a game now your responsibilities as a kibbitzer are over? Not so!** 1. Yes it does. and 2) I got criticized for commenting, so I’ll just wait for endgame(s). Plus, the definition of kibbitz is “v : make unwanted and intrusive comments”, so there’s not a whole lot of motivation there. ---

Orders are due in a little over 30 hours for the Mini-Me game. With this long dip period, let’s see some _stabbin’!_ ---

Why can’t I have enemies like you? ---

That’s the speaking softly part. Wait 'till you see the size of the stick. ---

Must. Not. Touch. That. ---

Coinicdenally, I also have a ten foot pole, excellent for not touching a wide variety of things. Just $10.99 + S&H. ---

I have an eleven foot pole, built specifically for those things which one would not consider touching with a ten foot pole. Not to say that a ten foot stick is not impressive. ---

I keep forgetting that I’m in this game. Who are my allies again? ---

FYI, I seem to be having trouble with my email account for this game and I haven’t recieved any emails since the winter adjudication. If you’ve tried to contact me and haven’t received a reply, my appoligies and I’ll be getting a mass email out with a alternate email address here shortly. Once you’ve gotten it please shoot me a copy of any messages I’ve missed, thanks. And sadly, depending on the feedback I get I may end up needing a 24 hour delay. Sorry for the continued hassle with Mini-Me, I guess everyone takes a turn lousing things up, eh? ---

I no longer remember which game this is. Minime? 1099? World Tourney? ---

This is only a problem with Mini-Me. FYI, I just sent out a email from my other account to all of you. I’m pretty sure I used the email address that you’d all been using for this game, so please check it and let me know you got it and hopefully we can catch-up on any missed discussions and resume our unifed quest to conquer the continent :). ---
