You walk away in shame as you realize that your post went through multiple times. And you thought it was a server problem.

Sqrl ☹

You do a doubletake, check, and realize Sqrl did _not_ quintuple-post… or at least, probably not… on purpose. + 10 points if he did, - 10 points if he didn’t.

You do a doubletake because you just doubleposted - again. Lose 500 points, and give Sqrl a big hug.

You slink away temporarily in shame as you did not make the multipost on purpose. A big SHAME on you. You remember that the board took forever to load and send yesterday. Sqrl is now in negative points. ☹ Boohoo!

The next poster should post a single link to the Small Wonder web page here and all will be forgiven. Plus they will receive a thousand joyous points.

HUGS!

You read through this topic still not sure what is going on. -100 points

You realize this post will bump the topic to the top of the page, however. +50 points

Finally, you attempt to post a link to \* a \* Small Wonders page, but are unsure if it meets the requirements of the earlier request. If it does, +500 points; if not +50 points for effort!

I.M.Kierkegaard receives 1000 Joyous points. There are several other links to the site of evil aka Small Wonder.

(This game works best if it is a cross between a scavenger hunt and shameless self promotion.)

You buy a unicycle (IRL, I just ordered it from a bike shop in DC/Georgetown). You await anxiously for it to arrive at the shop way over on M street. Those DAMN people at SCA won’t make fun of me anymore.

+65 Sci Fi geek points +LGHQTHY if you are Chaotic Neutral.

Next poster find an interesting link.

HUGS!
