Please note, everyone, that in the next “correct” I give out I’ll also be giving out the last answer, so be ready.  
For this one…Answer:

This was Silo’s name..before he was allowed back as Silo.

Letting time be up early on this one: “Who was Mike Masterson?”  
Just so we can have the last one (before double jeopardy, that is):

Mod Squad for 500

Answer:

This former mod “did Cali” a couple times back in the day.

COOOOOOOOOOORRRECT

OKAY  
so…  
THE scores are currently:

NAF 900  
faithfool 500  
Indistinguishable 500  
Samarm 900

But it’s still anyone’s game! Because next up is DOUBLE JEOPARDY. The point values are all doubled.  
Double Jeopardy will be held tomorrow for two reasons:

1. I’m tired and must get to sleep.
2. Gives everyone a bit of time in advance to be here to play (if they want). I will start Double Jeopardy tomorrow at NOON my time (that’s PST). So be here if you want to play (or continue playing).

Awww, that means I’m out, as I’m leaving town tomorrow. ☹ But thanks to **Idle** for hosting / running a fun game and everyone else for playing. I had a blast! Good luck y’all.

Is the leader of the Jeopardy round going to ask for the first category?

Nah. The chances that he’s still here are probably slim and I don’t want to run the risk of just waiting around.
