    My lord, you should try using Google docs like Vicious's Friends Database. It may be easier for you to keep track of numbers and such.

    All of you talking about evil...

    I am evil itself, i am its creator. I'm so evil the devil himself worships me. He writes me fanmail everyday, its really annoying.

    Maybe... maybe NOT! You'll have to wait and see! :)

    So far we have 61 entrants for the December 3 TRINE game giveaway. 8 of you will win, the rest will not. Please let me know if you already own TRINE in case you didn't understand the rules from the original post, just to give someone else a chance to win.

    Sometime later today (Dec 3), probably before noon EST, I will announce the next game at which time no more entries for TRINE will be accepted. The winners from this round will be announced some time after that cutoff (time still TBD, I'm new to this so cut me some slack). ;)

    Thank you for your cooperation and thanks for entering!

    Too lazy to read the whole thread so no clue if someone else has picked it.

    #9 for me

    RAOK (Random Act Of Kindness): I got one of my co workers the boxes she needed today before she even knew she needed them. Was funny. She was standing next to the pallet and asked me for her El Pasado boxes and I just wordlessly pointed to the pallet she was leaning against. I think it made her day.

    Actually next round numbers will be hidden from all users. I will have a form where you can submit it (many thanks to ViciousXUSMC). Details to be posted soon. You can feel free to post your number here if you wish, but I want to keep the numbers hidden for a couple reasons that I won't disclose so I won't give anyone any ideas. :D

    I debated between just entering your name for a random drawing (akin to pulling a name out of a hat), or your name and a number so people can try to have control over their own destiny.

    Why, you're so generous! Maybe that would mean he then chooses the eight closest numbers to 878 :D Bonus indeed!

    Knowing HTWingNut though, I bet he'll pull eight numbers from his butt :p
    Though, one does need to wonder why there are so many numbers up there....
