I think this party ending up as the start to a pulp fiction novel isn’t half bad! Let Price go a little more. 🙂 ---

“It was a dark and stormy night…” 😉 (Hostess notes: Sorry all. Still got nothing. **Diomedes** , of the four guests, who’s already been guessed at, and by whom?) **Fluiddruid** , what’s your favorite song? **Kat** , what’s your favorite kind of game?

**Kat** has been guessed at by **dotchan** and **twickster.** \*\*Priceguy \*\*has also been guessed at by the ladies. **Blaster’s** only been queried by **bbs2k** And **featherlou** is still up for auction by anyone. Oh, and “a” and “an” are indefinite articles. ---

Hey, everybody! I’m still here! Danged life, keeps getting in the way of my surfing. Does that make me one of those houseguests who can’t take a hint and just won’t leave? 😃 [QUOTE=twickster] **bbs2k** , could you either guess him or say that you’re not going to?

Well, I’ve already guessed on\*\* Kat \*\* and **BlasterMaster** , so all I’ve got left is **feathlou** and my dear friend **Priceguy**. I will leave you in suspense as to what I’ll guess about their quirk. ---

Just kidding. **Priceguy** is channelling Mike Hammer. And **featherlou** is actually a big purple bunny rabbit. Do I really think that about **featherlou**? Heck no, I just want to be done with this freaking game! See you all in the forbidden thread tomorrow afternoon! ---

Okay. I’ll admit, I’m not the sort of person that can keep a secret well. When I find a great gift for my girlfriend’s birthday, she often gets it the week before. Keeping in that vein, I’m going to reveal the guests’ quirks right now. Any adventurous host can ignore this and post their guesses until noon tomorrow. I don’t really care, though, the game is in in the process, and not the results. **Correctly guessed:** Anaamika must use each successive character above the number line in successive posts: dotchan Purplkid\_Caterer has a tendency for using hackneyed cliches: twickster Zoggie is an Advice Columnist: dotchan Taber think he’s a specific Greek god or goddess (picked Dionysus): twickster fachverwirt must post using quotes from Shakespeare: twickster Eureka is easily confused by homonyms: twickster OneCentStamp may not use any form of the verb “to be”: bbs2k Malacandra is a pathological liar: bbs2k DiggitCamera is an MLM marketer: dotchan fluiddruid is obsessed with alliteration: bbs2k Rysto must mention the name of a different dance in each post. Idle Thoughts must use the last two words in the prior post to begin his post: twickster twickster is officially pissed: bbs2k Priceguy is a private detective, investigating bbs2k: bbs2k \*\* Unguessed:\*\* Kat: twickster,bbs2k :::: Must mention the name of a Doper NOT INVOLVED in this thread BlasterMaster: bbs2k: MUST POST USING WORDS OF EVEN NUMBERS OF LETTERS featherlou THINKS Host TWICKSTER IS CHEATING ---
