Ya know, I was tempted to use one of the main twins from the intro and maybe throw people off but I didn't feel like cropping out the gigantic karaoke that fills the freakin' screen on my version.

In retrospect I should've just went with the damn goat from ep4. You guessed correct and even got the right sister.

Just a heads up Bango, but it's not looked too fondly upon when the same people snap up all the open turns. It's courtesy to wait a few hours so some one who never gets to post anything has a chance.

^ I'll have to somewhat disagree with that. It's an open turn. Sure it's polite to wait, but I don't think it's rude to take it.

Sorry, Vaisaga. I was only thinking of keeping the game moving. It'd be nice if we had a general etiquette explainer for stuff like that. A few of the unwritten rules have been outside my personal mindset so it was only a matter of time before I broke one while thinking I was doing everyone a favour.

Ignore the previous pic. I'll request it's deletion. It's an open turn now.

No. No. Put your picture back, please. Vaisaga had no authority to say what they did and no precedent to argue by.

I'll take it then. Here's another girl with a gun. Well, two guns actually.



And, before Calathan answers, I've gotta post this fridge horror clue.

Hint # 1: spoiler[Her grandfather was a cat. Don't ask me the mechanics of it. The anime never explains how.]

Some people were displeased when I'd always snap up open turns, so yeah, I do have precedent.

I certainly didn't want for Bango to take down his pic, I just wanted to let him know for next time.

I will happily concede that two pics in a row may be pushing things. I always avoid it.

You left out a second component of the complaint and subsequent request against taking open turns: "...people who were among the top 3-4 scorers for the previous round..." It should come as no surprise that people are more annoyed with others monopolizing the turns by both scoring high and taking open turns than merely doing one of the two.

Thanks, Raftina, and your turn as well.

I suppose so. But I'm sure one person monopolizing just the free turns would eventually become problematic. At the very least two in a row should be avoided.

I am pretty convinced that Bango is going to become one of the top scorers eventually.
