*Gets hit in the head by the <span style='color:green'>Green</span> Thingy while its on the fishing line, then takes it*
"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.

Steals the <span style='color:red'>red</span> thingy from Twig and puts it and the <span style='color:blue'>blue</span> thingy in a cereal box.

...It has come down to this...Round 15 is...over. These are the thingy worths...

Red=-1
Yellow=-2
Green=+2
Blue=+1

And the winner is...with +1...




































<span style='font-size:30pt;line-height:100%'><span style='color:gray'>SILVER!!!!!!!!!</span></span>

Yes, Silver, you are officially the winter 2004 thingy champion! Congragulations! You will recieve your trophy soon. Here are the final scores...

Twig: -6
J: -1
Silver: 1
Neo: -4

Wow! It's over! Silver congragulations!

And now, for the moment of truth, my secrets. :D

I will first tell you how I decided when to post again. In the first set, I told myself I would update every 3 days. If I was a day late, the next round would be two days long, and if it were 5, the next two rounds would be 2 days, and so on.

Once I narrowed it down to the final 4, It was going to be the same system, except every 4 days.

Now, I'll be honest, I stole the idea of this game from the Define Cynical forums, but the rest was orignally my own idea. 4 thingies, thingy worths, and actually giving this game an end, instead of it going on forever. Why didn't I just let it go on forever? It would have got mighty boring. Also, why let one go on...when there will be another...

Yes. Coming soon, is "The thingy 2: Quest for the elusive Pocky".

Silver, give me a day to make your trophy. :D Congragulations.

Oh sure. I didn't stand a chance due to the fact that I didn't have access to a comp from the 24 to yesterday. That was so unfair. I could of won if given the chance X-(

*Pokes the thread* Uh, yeah, I just realized I never made the trophy. Using Paintshop Pro for something like that is hard. Anyone else wanna have a go at it?

I'm gonna draw the teaser poster soon. That I can do. The new Thingy game should launch in about a month, half-a-month.
