A 'liked' post does not mean you've got that number (or that you yourself are even liked). The first person to pick a number gets that number whether it's marked on the board or not. When we 'Like' your picks that means one of the five helpers are marking them on the board. If there are any mistakes/conflicts, we will reply to your post. So check back a while after you pick to see if we noted any problems.


Please do not edit your pick posts.
If someone already took your number, or an error was made, please wait for a helper to post the error. Please "Reply With Quote" to the helper's post with your new pick.


&

Please do not click on the game board.


A helper will announce a new round of picks at random times, so check back often and keep track of what round you've already made picks in.

Rounds may last anywhere from 16 seconds to 36 hours based solely on our whim. There are no rules. Life is unfair. Good luck!

We call it a "reset" when we go into a new round. You still keep all of your previous picks. If you miss a round you do not get to back and make up picks. You can only make picks for the current round.

The game ends sometime Friday. We then announce the winning pick.

ALL Birthday Poopies will get additional picks on their ECF listed Birthday :w00t: (1 birthday per year please :D)

Theses aren't rules (but they really are). They are guidance (that must be followed). And they may change at any time. Without prior notice. Maybe even without ensuing notice.

My car started making a little bit of lifter rattle. I didn't worry too much about it because the mileage is getting up. Then it started making a more annoying, disturbing noise. I took it in today to get checked out and a couple of the lifters went belly up. Going to be a thousand or so to replace those and clear out all the sludge buildup that caused them to go out in the first place.

Then... I get a call a couple hours later. In the process of clearing out the sludge, they took the pan off the bottom and found my bearings have been mostly reduced to a metallic paste and the engine is now toast.

That sucks. I hate dealing with car repairs. Spent over $2200 to smog mine last year. All it was was a fitting on top of the gas tank that had a crack in it.

Well, I think this needs more than I can put into it. 3500 for a used engine from who knows where with no guarantees or 5500 for a rebuilt engine from Japan. And the rest of the car will still have 180k miles on it. I think I've driven the old girl for the last time this morning. *cry*
