[Shadow]

(post to suscribe, so that I can join as the next question is asked...)

[Indurain]

My vote goes to #1. Is there any chance of joining for round 2?

[Shadow]

Yeah, after reading the rules I would assume so.
We'd just start a bit behind is all...
(That's why I didn't vote yet. No sense in getting even more behind because of myself...)

[edit] Ahh... what the heck. Number Two! Go Mayor McCheese!

[Silkenfist]

Indurain, Shadow: You don't need to sign up for the game. Just send me your answer in time next round.

[Castaras]

Answer 7Just making it clear.

[faerwain]

Hard race between 1 and 11...

I vote 11

And there are strange pepople on this ground

[Deckmaster]

I vote for 8. Because answering almost anything with that is funny.

[evnafets]

I'll go for response #10

[Tormsskull]

I totally missed this first round. My answer would have so been Dan Brown.

Anyhow, I vote for #7.

[David94]

I vote for 7.

[Atreyu the Masked LLama]

7 is good, but the cherry tree reference makes me choose 11

*the llama picks 11*

[purple gelatinous cube o' Doom]

I'm going to go for 7. I would have picked 6 if it had been traitorous eggs (eggs Benedict instead of the traitor himself).

[Eldritch Knight]

I vote for number 8. Go sacriligious humour! (Hey, just because I'm studying for the pastorate doesn't mean I can't appreciate a good joke when I see one...)

[Silkenfist]

Ladies and Gentlemen: The poll is closed, now let's have a look at your favorites. Starting with:

Answer 9 by Zar Peter


Answer 10 by faerwain
2 votes by evnafets and Zar Peter


Answer 11 by evnafets
3 votes by Raistlin, faerwain and Atreyu the Masked Llama


And the winner is - pretty disambiguously - Deckmasters answer. If DLD and Van der Decken agree on something, you can be pretty sure that it IS truth. Although I am surprised, nobody told the actual truth about...you know Indurain's plots...back then?


The Standings:

1. Deckmaster (15 Punkte)
2. evnafets (4)
3. faerwain (3)
4. Rama Lei, Eldritch Knight (2)
6. Khantalas, Indurain, Lucky, Captain van der Decken, DLD, Castaras, Tormsskull, David94, purple cube, Zar Peter, Raistlin, Shadow, Atreyu the Masked Llama (1)



Deckmaster takes the lead with a strong first round. However, it is a long way to the finish and there is plenty opportunity to catch him.

Next round will appear later.

[Shadow]

In case anyone is looking for it, the second question appears HERE.

[edit] Not that it really matters much, but don't I get a point for voting?

[Silkenfist]

Uhm...correct
