Post 130(sorry, too lazy to link)–directed at me, but using **E** in place of my screen name, and deliberately avoiding using a multi-syllable word I’d used was the big clue for me. I thought it was odd the first time I read it, but re-reading it at some point after I was guessed and after you started posting more frequently was the clue for me. Long before the posts with mistakes. ---

[QUOTE=twickster] That’s why I didn’t want him to correct his errors – way too blatant. [/QUOTE] I’m sure my cohosts would have gotten Blaster’s eventually without my help… but I wouldn’t have gotten it without the errors. Being able to compare “good” posts with “bad” ones makes this game much easier. Next time, though, I totally call Guest. ---

Way to go, hosts! And thanks twickster for creating the quirks. I got to have my fun without being forced to spend too much time on it, and this game’s always a blast to read. Count me in on the next game. ---

Great work all! I’d be all for another game, partially cause I feel like I didn’t really contribute much in this one. But mostly because it really was a blast. Thanks to all the guests for playing your parts so well. Thanks to the other hosts for doing such a great job. and of course a big thanks to Twickster for setting it up and doing such a great job moderating. ---

I’d be up for another game, too. Thanks, **twickster** , for organizing this one! ---

I’ll add my thanks. (And a rueful note that I couldn’t get driving directions from London to Philadelphia. I was going to blame my late start on flooded roads…) ---
