By the way, I think the regular players should upload their photo to the SDMB photo site. I know I and Chronos and a few others are on there, but it’d be cool to see what a few of you knuckleheads look like(kidding!). 🙂 [Follow the direction in this thread and let us know if you are added.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=539257) ---

Okay, I did it. Sadly, the only picture I have of myself is from almost a year ago (funny how when you have kids, all the pictures are of them), but hey, it’s something. My hair is now quite a bit darker, but other than that there’s not much of a difference. ---

Huh, “borken” is in the Jargon File? I thought that was much more recent. Or is it actually being maintained again? Myself, I never tried going through it alphabetically; I just navigated through via the contextual links. It’s like TV Tropes or Wikipedia that way. ---

When the Pond returned to life from the Winter, the first thing everyone noticed was that **Red Skeezix** was missing. No trace of him could be found, not even a corpse. It’s almost as though he were just eaten. **Red Skeezix is dead** Nor was he the only one to die. There is more than one critical resource than just food, as **Storyteller** ’s oxygen-deprived remains proved. **Storyteller0910, an Amoeba, is dead** It was clear that he hadn’t starved to death, since the partially-digested remains of another organism were found in one of his vacuoles. **A rare and endangered species has gone extinct, and has lost the game** And, of course, the Scum were busy in more ways than one. **A Spawn has appeared** It is now Summer 6. Winter will set in on Thursday, March 11 at 1:00 MST. There is one Spawn in the pond. ---

Ah, more lists - it’s a colorful pond (perhaps an oil spill?): **Oredigger77** : Red Skeezix, fluiddruid, Mahaloth, Alka Seltzer, Alka Seltzer \*\*USCDiver \*\*: peeker, (no vote), Meeko, KellyCriterion, Alka Seltzer **Natlaw** : Red Skeezix, Meeko, Mahaloth, KellyCriterion, Oredigger **DiggitCamara** : Freudian Slit, fluiddruid, Storyteller, KellyCriterion, Storyteller **amrussell** : USCDiver, Mahaloth, Mahaloth, KellyCriterion, Alka Seltzer **sachertorte** : Freudian Slit, storyteller, Mahaloth, KellyCriterion, DiggitCamara **TexCat** : peeker, Mahaloth, Storyteller, KellyCriterion, Storyteller **Rysto** : special ed, fluiddruid, KellyCriterion, KellyCriterion, DiggitCamara **Drain Bead** : fluiddruid, fluiddruid, Mahaloth, KellyCriterion + sachertorte, Alka Seltzer + sachertorte **Meeko** : Red Skeezix, Red Skeezix, KellyCriterion, sachertorte, Alka Seltzer + Oredigger * * * Looks like I might be wrong about **Oredigger** - still like a response to my last observation: you earlier had a suspicion of **sachertorte** , who also voted **Mahaloth** instead of Kelly- so why not vote him last Summer? **Rysto** still looks good do to his Kelly vote. **amrussel** ’s vote for Alka Seltzer was the last when the lynch for mostly decided, so he doesn’t get pond points for it from me. ---

Well, that was anticlimactic. **vote Spawn vote Rysto** And I raise an eyebrow of skepticism at **Natlaw** for saying that **Rysto** looks good due to the vote for **Kelly**. I find it _highly_ unlikely that on Day Three, the entire contingent voting for **Kelly** was Town. With the vote as close as it was, a cred vote is entirely likely. **Rysto** is the only one voting for **Kelly** on that Day whose alignment we do not yet know, and all the rest of them were Town.
