TIMEOUT! Ok, I’m done. I didn’t think this would go on this long. Pepperlandgirl, who is obviously dominating this game, would have to be the winner, followed closely by iampunha. So here’s the last time I’ll be posting scores: pepperlandgirl - 6,317,902 pts. iampunha - 6,295,815 pts. Shayna - choose however many pts you feel you deserve, cuz whatever I score you, you’ll probably just divide amongst the other players anyway.😉 Everyone else - 2 pts ---

Shouldn’t you disperse them to those who truly need them? To the orphans? To the homeless? To those people who buy a vowel? (not me btw) [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/question-game/22711.md?page=11)
