Not yet! Let me get the little [del]bugger[/del] chap’s photo, first. Maybe even get a start on an interview. Gotta figure out which of our hosts he’s running messages to… ---

Gnomes, eh? It’s pretty slow, but I get rid of mine with owls. If I’m not mistaken, the game ends at 7pm EDT, which is 4pm PDT here in California… this means we have, oh, half an hour. I am not foolish enough to call it prematurely; however, there is something I must do in support of the pies of the future. On my return, I will check in to officially call it. Good last-minute luck, hosts! ---

**Daphne** , you were awesome! We were sure you were going to find our secrets all by yourself. FWIW, [here’s a honking hint](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=320298) for my quirk. Daniel ---

Yeesh, **Daphne** , you almost sunk us - I’m pretty sure you would’ve pulled in a victory for the hosts, if the time limit hadn’t forced premature detentes. ---

Sorry, fellow hosts. I’ve been following this thread several times a day, but couldn’t really figure out any of the quirks. Guess I’m not very good at being a host. :smack: It was fun, though, and pretty interesting. 🙂 ---

—And the **Guests** have it!!! Send up the One Glowing Triangle, visible Lo! even way down the shore. (hey, **twicks** : when come back, bring lobster!) I would like to compliment **Daphne Black** for an almost unnatural talent for this game. Which is not to say that “Live Evil” wasn’t my own silly fault. But you made short work of several of us! Thanks to all the guests and hosts. I’m sure when **twicks** is back in her tiara she’ll want to say her own stuff about y’all. And thank you, **twickster** , for a very intriguing game! brujaja (When came back, brought quart of blackberries for pie of future.) ---

I had fun, even coming late to the party (the key lime pie was worth it). Should we all reveal our quirks now? ---

Gah! I would have had you all too, if I’d had a little more time. Bloody real life does have a way of interfering, as well, don’t it. Thanks **twickster** et al. for a cool game. Can’t wait for the next round! ---

I outline my quirk in the forbidden thread, so I won’t repost here unless someone wants me to, but I have a question for **Daphne** : where did you get the theory about my having to repeat something? I wasn’t even _trying_ to build that red herring, so it took me a little by surprise.
