Also, any progress on the questionnaire?


The general questionnaire is on the way. I'll send each of you a more specific one tailored to your character as I get more information.

Speaking of which...

I've been filling in a lot of details about my character, but I figured you don't want them in drips and drabs. But maybe you do?


Send me what you've got! If it's something we can discuss that will help you focus your character, it's all good.

So Brian said it was totally fine if I wanted to spend less than 100 and have a really weak character. Who wants my leftover points?

Unfortunately for you, I already made an agreement with Brian that I would get the extra points of anyone before they were available.

Unfortunately for you, your agreement was signed in Virginia. According to Amber's Code of Regulations, Section H, paragraph (1)(f). "All such agreements are rendered null and void upon crossing the state line into Tennessee, or by being signed by a party who resides in Tennessee. The benefits of such contracts must instead vest in a party who resides within the border of Tennessee."

Luckily - I just happen to fit the criteria. Therefore, I'll be taking those points, thank you.

Ha, that's the code of regulations that I made sure you were given so you wouldn't know the REAL code of regulations, which, of course, states that anyone who tries to use the fake code of regulations immediately forfeits ALL of his points to be divided up evenly among all players in Virginia.

Unfortunately for YOU, I used time managing capabilities and grabbed the points before they were even distributed, thus they are now mine.

But of course I anticipated that, so I convinced Brian to give you a different set of points that are actually worth twice the noral value, only they're negative.

So you just have so much bad stuff that I will win any time there is any chance involved at all, no matter the type of contest.

BUT I anticipated THAT and secretly switched the points, so YOU ended up with the negative points while the positive are safely in my pockets...hey Matt, did you hear something?

Of course, we both planned for Joe to get the negative points from the beginning, since we've actually been working together all along, despite what everyone has seen and thought.

So now we get to split them and have them all to ourselves. Except I had ANOTHER secret agreement with a player who has yet to reveal his/her role, so we can easily gang up on you if you don't give me your share of the points.

All throughout the exchanges, all I could think of was "Inconceivable!"

Therefore, here's the game. The points are on the table, both negative and positive. However, both are wrapped up in neat little boxes. I will place one box in front of Downey, and one in front of Andrew. It will be your choice, Downey, as to which box each of you will open. Choose wisely.

It's a trap, clearly. Both boxes contain negative points, with maybe a smidge of positive to make your statement technically true. The majority of the positive points are in your pocket. Or at least, they were. Last time you had your clothes cleaned I installed a trump in the pocket, so now all of those points are tucked safely away where only I can get them.

Incidentally, I also have your keys, some spare change, some old receipts from Burger King, and a pack of crackers you stole from the salad bar that one time. Everything's in good shape, except the crackers. They kind of got crushed.

However, I KNEW that you would take these from his pockets during dry-cleaning and moments after you did so, I swapped them for negative points and placed the positive in one of these two boxes. So of course I must just take both and run away.

Amberite? You, sir, INSULT me!

As for you, Matt, I think I have bested you, therefore I have...I believe that's how the saying goes.

Yes, go ahead and think all you want. As long as you're content and blissful in your ignorance, we won't shatter your delusion.

For you see, while the two of you have been busy bickering; you've missed the grand scheme of things! The points 'stolen' from my clothes were imposters! HA ha! Yes, yes. I took the real points, placed them in an undisclosed room with my points, and put on a little Barry White. Now, the points have multiplied a thousand fold (i tell you, these points are like rabbits) - and they're all mine! And, if you manage to steal a few of them; since they're the progeny of my points, you'll be completely under my control. The grand scheme has fallen into place exactly according to plan.
