Redstar, Whit obviously has bigger problems than the deadpool and is likely to appreciate someone else making sure her votes will be counted. Considering our team's position she will understand that we can't afford to miss any points.LOL
Hey Whit, good luck on the tenant troubles, sounds like you are going to need it. Hope to see you back here very soon.

Well, going to vote today. Not too much out there spoiler wise so, I'm going with gut etc.

Good luck everyone, with this weeks picks! Let's get some points! LOL!

Good news - Bob has accepted Whit's proxy votes, and I have posted them, so we won't lose those points this week. I've emailed Whit, and told her that she's in effect "on probation" - any week that she doesn't post by 6 p.m. board time, we will have the option of replacing her.

I hope you all are okay with my handling of this (thanks for the support, Lumbele). I don't mind being at the bottom of the barrel (pun intended) if we simply are not good at picking, but I hate losing points for not posting.

GO RUM RUNNERS!!!

<a visiting Curvy Scurvy waving @ Wendo. We are thinking alike. Wonder if we'll need the loser lodge Thursday pm??>

After scanning the votes so far, I see we've all voted except Immikeswfe. So this is just a reminder to vote by 9:00 p.m. board time tonight to maximize those bonus points!!

Redstar

Well, Wendo, there's enough difference of opinion in everyone's votes that it should be a veeeeery interesting week! I took advantage of what little spoilage there was to be had, but in the end, had to go with the gut, too. At least we're covering all the angles!

Well, looking on the bright side...we didn't slip into last place.LOL
Does anyone know how to get in touch with Mikeswife? Her profile doesn't show an email addy and she hasn't responded in the folder I opened for her.

Redstar

Mateys, it be time for a serious conversation.

As I said above, I don't mind being in next to last place, but it's now two weeks in a row that we've lost a bucketload of points because someone hasn't voted. I want to know what you think we should do about it.

I personally say that, since it has been a problem, we institute our own deadline. So I call a majority vote. My motion:

Any Rum Runner who has not voted by 6 p.m. of the Wednesday before the show will be made to walk to the plank. An urgent request for a replacement member will be made on the general Deadpool discussion board.

If a matey posts by the crew deadline, s/he may change the vote before final deadline and incur no wrath from the crew.

All in favor, say AYE.

Aye :)


I'm back - courts accepted the eviction - hasn't been real fun week for me but I'm back home today... (got my vote in) I've got to go to the sheriff's tommorow to have them removed from my house (it's a duplex...)

Plan to tough it out now and stay here - depends on how nasty they get after today though. If I end up having to go into exhile again hopefully I'll figure out a way to get an email to Redstar again. But please - if I don't post here or contact Redstar by Wed night, please vote for me (Rupert is always my 'stay in' vote).

I'm really sorry this has happened - I was so pumped up for Surivor and then all of this. I haven't even seen the last episode yet though it was taped for me... so I will get to see it.

The biggest bummer in all of this - is I'd gotten totally set up to have my teeth all fixed up - and be able to smile again. This was such a huge thing for me and now with being out over 1,400 in rent (and court fees etc) I'm probably going ot have to put that on hold till spring or later. Sigh.

But anyhow - emotionally (depression wise) I'm hanging in there and that's good.

(Well please just msg me in my folder if you'd like to offer moral support it'd make me feel odd to see it here since not all in this thread even know me)

OK Back to the show.. I have alot of reading to do to catch up on 10+ days of posts here!

Redstar

Okay, mateys, I'm going to post for a replacement for Immikeswfe. Wendo hasn't voted yet, but has been good about posting, so I'll wait until tomorrow at least.

All right, mateys, everyone give a rousing cheer for TWIGGYISH, the newest member of the Rum Runners crew!

WELCOME TWIGGYISH!!!!

woohooo!! Thanks!!

Sorry guys, I just got to read the thread now. I have voted though; before 9:00pm board time too. So I'll definitely be getting the 30 extra points. (I'm a Cubs fan and have been occupied watching them in the NLCS. Doesn't happen often ya know.)

Anyway, I always make sure to vote before 9:00pm board time the night before the show. But, I'll vote by 6:00pm board time from now on.

Had to go gut again with my picks. The spoilers this season are sparse and there's no consensous. They've done a good job keeping a lid on what happens in the Pearl Islands.

It's all good though. Makes the game more pure. LOL! :)

Finally, welcome Twiggyish! Glad you've joined the Rum Runners team! Have fun!!!

Redstar

HURRAH!!! We have ALL voted!!!!

Go Rum Runners!

Let's move up in the standings!!!

hi Welcome, Twiggy!!! And thanks for pitching for the Rum Runners. We really need all the help we can get.LOL
Glad to see Redstar hasn't fed you to the fishes for a lousy little nibble on the sail, Wendo. We better toe the line though, she's a tough first mate.LOL

Sorry Fellow Rum Runners.....

I have spent the last week running back and forth to the Hospital. My Mother fell last week and spent a few days in the hospital. All is better now and she's home and I'm back to work. I haven't even been near a computer for over a week. I have voted this week and I am so sorry for missing out last week. I promise (God Willing) I will never miss a vote again!

Redstar

Thursday, October 09, 2003 - 09:21 am EditMoveDeleteIP
Immikeswfe, we are so sorry, but the Rum Runners have been hemorrhaging points due to non-voting, so when we didn't hear from you, we had to replace you. Be assured that you will still be able to play as an individual.

We hope that your mother continues to improve, and we send you and her our best regards.

Ahoy, Rum Rummers! We aren't scuttled yet! Let's not be a pack of henhearted numbskulls, for there's a bit o' the silver lining to our situation - we have no where to go but UP!!!! So, me Mateys, grab your cutlasses and muskets, and (wo)man the cannons, let's come about and hit these other scurvy bilge rats on the broadside! Arrrrr!

Redstar, I've gone ahead and voted (with the Cubs going to game seven, wanted to make sure it was done since I'll be focused on that tomorrow night. LOL!)

I trolled around for spoilers, checked out the spoiler thread here, and interpreted the photos in the spoiler section. Can't say I feel "sure" about my votes, but, went with my gut based on what I've read. At least I'm holding firm in the middle of the pack of the pools. LOL!

Let's get some points this week fellow Rum Runners!
