[QUOTE=Idle Thoughts] You know, I think the guests just might win their first game with this one… A little under 50 hours remain.

All right, time for some last ditch guessing. If I don’t make an official guess between now and the end of the game, I’d like these entered as an official guess right before the buzzer. I’ll use italics to distinguish \* \*\*Always Bring Pie \*\* has a split personality **Kat** uses an action marked by _stars_ in every post, except when she doesn’t If you add up all the numbers equivelent to the letters(including smilies) in **Antinor01’s** posts, you always get a prime number **Kerrigan** must include a verb in every post \*_Zoggie \*\* can’t link to Australian goat herding sites_ I’m pretty sure all of these are right, but I don’t want to pull the trigger just yet ---

Holy shit… **Kerrigan has to use the word “will” in all posts.** _shakes fist_ I agree with **Taber** that _ **Always Brings Pie** has a split personality_. I think we should go with that. Make it so, **Taber**! ---

[QUOTE=Taber] If you add up all the numbers equivelent to the letters(including smilies) in **Antinor01’s** posts, you always get a prime number [/QUOTE] Interesting guess, but that is way too much work for me to come up with and if true is a total coincidence. Speaking of interesting things, all these pies are awesome. I really need to quit sampling them so much though or I’m gonna weigh a ton before this party is over! ---

[/QUOTE] haha, I was just joking that because she changed her name, but I’m not coming up with anything so \*\* Always Brings Pie has a split personality\*\* also:\*\* Zoggie thinks she’s playing Mafia\*\* also: I have not added the equivalent numbers in anyone’s post, and would consider anyone whose quirk involved doing so disqualified due to extreme wankery.
