RULES
Here are the rules for this game:
1. All normal rules apply except when an item is purchased and used.
2. Each round will have a Challenge. See the Challenge Listing below the Bazaar for more information.
3. Every constructive single post = 1 point. Double posts are worth zero unless three hours have passed since your last post. Spam/useless posts will not be tolerated, and will result in a warning and forfeiture of all points the first time and a ModKill the second time.
4. In purchasing an item, you MUST use the purchasing form found in the Bazaar section of this post.
5. You do not have to use an item once you have bought it. When you do use it, make it obvious to the dumb moderator.

I'm placing a random vote for now. probably for buu.
I'm getting started on the clue. Haven't had any luck with the first two words. Will keep looking. I'll put in a fish vote for now. Don't know or care who for at this stage, I intend to be on later in the round to see what's happening.
will be back later to check

jarmihi: I'll do my very best to not use my green font color, but it has become such a habit... Please forgive me if I mess up!
I'm going to go place a random safety vote; I won't bother posting for whom until it becomes my official vote for the round. I'm too tired to think just now, but I'll be back tomorrow.[/color]

i am placing a random safety vote. it should be among the people with at least 1 point, i guess since an inactive boss cant start the round. but then again, it might be someone who is active but didnt post in round 0. anyway, my vote is on emma.

Anyone get the challenge yet?
I think I got it, but I can't seem to identify the connection between the words =/
I'll make a guess..
I'll make a guess..
Yeah, I never managed to make sense of the clue unfortunately. Stoked that someone seems to have been able to. I've put in a random vote, can't remember who for, but willing to look it up if anyone deems it to be of importance. not much to be had from the boss' memo, except that sorting out time zones seems to be a severely short sighted use of time travel. Yeah. I'd imagine a dog could find better uses for time travel.
Izzie managed to get the clue! +10 points to Izzie!

YaY me!
i dont think that time travel would really have an effect on time zones.
time zones are a sun thing, a night/day thing.
time travel is a go somewhere else at a different time (past/present/future) thing

Good job, Izzie! I just sent in my attempt at the riddle/clue; not 100% sure I explained their connection (aside from the obvious), but guess I'll find out. LOL
I haven't changed my safety vote, so in an effort to help clear/pinpoint the Boss: I voted for mru212.
Edit to remove my green font color. Oopsie! x.x

Placing a quick fish vote to avoid firing before the round ends.
Well, with people not divulging who the voted for, we won't learn much from the firings this round. (Although based on the posts, there will probably be a good number of mandatories...)
I start my new job tomorrow ( ) so I may not be on until @ 7p est. I'll try to check in on my lunch break, though.
Too late, the round ended at 8:00. No points awarded (or subtracted). ~Jarmihi

Elios also got the riddle. +5 to Elios.
The words are:
Hyperspace - a general sci-fi location, opposite to subspace
Centauri - a race from the Babylon 5 world
Starship - a general sci-fi object
Ultraviolet - the highest emergency color code on Babylon 5
KEY: Babylon 5
Also, because May 20 (yesterday) was my nineteenth birthday, everyone gets one bonus point. The next round will start around 6:00 P.M. EDT.

yikes, leave for a few days and look what happens. Sorry I couldn't be of more help here, but I will obviously be fired for non-involvement.

No, you have to get the whole thing. Sorry. If I gave partial points, it'd cause inflation and throw the entire economy off. I mean, I did that very slightly by inventing birthday points, but think of the consequences of four or five people getting points for partial answers. (Imagine that one word = one point).
