You know, it sure would be a shame, if some outsider was able to deduce the correct answer. I would guess it was something like: A 2 day late APRIL FOOLS!😛 ---

You know. I think I’m enjoying this game more than the players. Is that possible? Idle, Do you have any concerns over me posting (more) guesses? -Meeko The guy who broke Haggle, and is trying to break into a game he didn’t even sign up for. ---

Why else do you think I am asking, rather than going on ahead? Not saying I will act on it, but you do have to admit, it would be an interesting outcome if an outsider could do it. Then again, _what if I’m not an outsider_? There is breaking a game, and then there is BREAKING a game. I will only do so much for this game. You have seen nearly all of it. ---

I’m enjoying the game immensely. If only people would actually participate. Besides Paul, Naf and MtS, that is. I think it would be interesting if an outsider guessed it first…as long as it wasn’t confirmed until after one of the actual players guesses it. –FCOD ---

Paul’s does. Or, well, he says it does. He has lied once. ---

He (Paul) told me: “He decided to go to the store to pick up some batteries.” ---

That was after he said his was just “The End”. ---

I can say that I have not lied to anyone, except for purposefully keeping myself last on my first guess. So I’ll wager your last batch of guesses are all going to be wrong, FCOD. ---

> [@FlyingCowOfDoom](#): > > Yeahhh…he’s a liar. > > He told me his was “He tried to light the torch but the matches were wet.” > > –FCOD I totally believe he is a liar in most cases. But I got picker and Pauls lines independantly, and I am fairly certain that they hadn’t gotten each others lines when I got each of theirs. So maybe it’s a co-incidence that they both match up, but they do seem to match. ---
