Will someone teach me how to play whatever game we’re about to start? kthanksbye  
[/QUOTE]

Hmmm. I think we’re gonna win this. Did the hosts give up, or are they still guessing? Should I take my shirt off again? 😉

I’m pretty sure that I won’t have time to check in again, so final guess time

Kat’s quirk is she doesn’t have one

I most certainly do have one! (Hey, at least I didn’t have a bunch like some people…oh you guessed all hers…) I just won’t reveal it until we have officially won this game!

Only if you think it’ll distract them, Kat 😉

I’m pretty sure that they don’t need distracting. Plus, it’s damn cold in here. So I’ll pass for now.

</div>

Done!

Final survivors are:

Zoggie  
Always Bring Pie  
Kat  
Antinor01  
**Kerrigan** was correctly guessed (before time was up) about having to use the word “will” in every post.  
**Kat** ’s quirk was to quote a question in every post, but not ever answer it.

**Always Bring Pie** ’s quirk was not liking the letter “T” and thus never using it.

**Antinor01** had a quirk that someone has had in the past…namely having to use a pair of homophones each post.

And finally…

… **Zoggie** ’s quirk was: She thinks she’s **Idle Thoughts**. 😛

Thank you all for playing and have Happy Thanksgivings. It was fun.

Guests have now won twice to the Hosts’ three times.

Ahh, we had pi and pie. I was a guest that remained not guessed. It was a party to remember, thanks for all the fun guys!

(Now I can quit working those damn homophones in every post. Yay!)

Oh brother. :rolleyes:

That’s because I took out the quote linking to **ZipperJJ** ’s request for a hint. I thought I’d be somewhat helpful, but not too much.

Good job guests 🙂

I had a fun time being host. Frustrating, but fun! You guys (all of you) did a great job with your quirks.

Unless I am completely off my rocker, this actually puts the guests at 4-1.

These are, after all, the important things in life.
