What the charm is to keeping these “endless fuses” lit is beyond me. Don’t you want to see more of a payoff after the big buildup? 😃 ---

The only thing courious about the Mods in respect to this beast is that they Haven’t shut it down yet… It seems I keep reading that these mega-threads bog down the server. Why is this one allowed to live well past its’ normal lifespan? Unless this is some sort of test… ---

[Official Spoilsport Hat On] Since this thing shows no sign of stopping, and since, as particlewill stated, it’s getting so long that it’s beginning to affect the server, I’m closing this thread and declaring the contest a draw. Also, please, as much fun as it may be, let’s not do it again. [Official Spoilsport Hat Off] ---
