Still laughing, Cheesey? Your Team got Question #2 wrong and they only lost 5 points on it. They also got a 10 point question wrong, though, which means...
It's a tie! Because it's a double elimination round, that means BOTH teams vote a member off. Should be easy enough for Josiah of Team Pay Day - TWO of their members failed to contribute at all - but Team Star Dust coin had no clear leader. Everyone contributed roughly the same amount.
That means that the team has to decide together who will be eliminated, Survivor-style. Discuss it in the Team topic, send me your votes, and if it comes out as a tie, I decide who's FIRED!

"Irregardless" and "Over exaggerated" are NEVER CORRECT EVER because they are redundant
Regardless means "without regard", and adding "ir" on the front actually makes it a double negative; exaggerate means "to overstate" so you're literally saying "over overstate."
Example: I can not exaggerate the importance of this fact enough, regardless of how often people ignore it.

Ok. So. Today ended up being... extremely weird. Melvin now calls me "Fwubble," or at least that's what it sounds like. I don't know where that came from. But it's somehow a testament to how weird today was in Silverland.
And either in honor of the weirdness, or to recover from having to deal with a certain ill-tempered grandparent, I'm... I'm taking the day off. Sorry guys. Apprentice challenge and everything tomorrow. It's days like this that remind me why I want an Apprentice...
And I am not Fwubble!

Ya, Fwubble! I-I mean, Silver. Maybe Fwubble is how she pronounces a charatar's name from a show she watches(she's just a little kid, right?), or is just calling you that to annoy you, because Fwubble sure dosn't sound like Brian. And I know that's your real name. Five letters, Irish origin, two sylables, switching one letter makes it one sylable.
Anyway, have a good day off.

So Fwubble, got anything planned for the next round yet?

So eventually, I started to lose faith... I thought you had been killed in that terrible, terrible war. Or maybe that you had forgotten about me. It's been so long, you probably found another girl over there... I never stopped loving you, but I didn't think you cared about me anymore, so welcoming you back just would have been too painful for me... I'm sorry. I'm glad you've come back home *sniff*

No, Gar (who actually figured out my name, darn him...) doesn't have Cheesey syndrome. Melvin's a girl. Melvin is a four-year-old girl with pink hair. That was probably just showing off her new-found ability to pronounce the letter 'f'. She used to replace it with 'h', which, as you can imagine, was quite awkward when she told people she was four years old. And I did ask her what 'Fwubble' meant, to which she replied, "Uh, I gunno!"
A-anyway! That's not what I came here to talk about! What I did come here to talk about is a very important announcement for IPA.
FWUBBLE IS GOING TO OTAKON TOMORROW! I mean Silver! SILVER is going to Otakon tomorrow! More importantly, he's going to Stevenson's place imediately AFTER that. Stevenson DOES have Internet access - hence the being part of the forums - but he DOES NOT have everything IPA stored on his computer like SILVER does. Which means that updating IPA will be DIFFICULT. Silver IS going to e-mail ALL IPA data to himself and ATTEMPT to update during the time spent visiting STEVENSON, however he MAY NOT be able to update EVERY DAY! Also, CAPITALIZING and BOLDING random words is FUN!

LK is going to be at Otakon? SERIOUSLY? I thought he was BRITISH! And I do plan on saying hi to MOOKIE if I get the chance!
It doesn't MEAN anything about Stevenson's location, except that he's in the same GENERAL DIRECTION as Baltimore when coming from Silver's location. Thus, it's more CONVENIENT to go from Otakon to Stevenson's place rather than driving all the way back to NEW JERSEY.
Also, Cheesey, you're still PRETTY MUCH SCREWED.
