Let 'er rip!
Review of the pair sequence:
And see rules here. One additional note: if possible, please prefix your comment with your Pair Number (i.e., Josh S might comment: "1F - passing the hot potato to FB & Bryan!"). Not required, but it makes it easier to track.
Don't get caught with the hot potato!
UPDATE: Team Flo wins Round 1-B by score of 5-0. The shutout! Congrats. Rules for deciding Round I-C post tomorrow at 8am PT. The round itself will take place Friday.

1 – 200 of 262 Newer› Newest»Hot potato is a party game that involves players gathering in a circle and tossing a small object such as a beanbag or tennis ball to each other while music plays. The player who is holding the "hot potato" when the music stops is out. Play continues until only one player is left. The game is designed to be fast-paced and high-pressure and is often played by children. The game can also be played without music where there is a designated leader who shouts out "hot!" and the player holding the object is eliminated.
Oops. Missed the note.
1F passing, etc...
2D - passing to quadsevens and matthew4d
time to go back to sleep. see you around 1:30
let's get this party started
3F is in!
Hmmm...5 comments in 2 minutes. My estimate of 250 comments for this thread might be a little low.
oops, sorry i messed up. i posted and accidentally deleted.
4D - woo pig sooiee
I saw it. Bryan definitely posted at 9:02.
To stay consistant:
3F passing again.
Go
Maybe Quad should post again. Just to be safe.
just to clarify, i was the one at 9:02, but something went screwy. i'm blaming the sickness.
hope this doesn't screw things up
thanks Bryan! Did you get too drunk after the round 1 victory?
This is getting ugly fast.
To clarify...Looking for team 5F right now.
5F - Discount!
haha, something like that. "flu like symptoms"
i was actually feeling it yesterday too, but luckily i was at the end so i woke up at 9 to see the progress, then again a few hours later. and just waited for my turn.
i should be able to be back around 1:30 or so.
Man, this is insane.
i keep hitting that refresh, who cares that it's a business day
Come on checkpoint!
6F passing it on
Errr 6D
Come on Dunkhawk & Felix Pardalis!
Trying to trade sides Matt? =)
7F passing it on...
Let's go checkpoint time!
Need 8D to comment first before we pass that check point!
No we don't.
Do we need an official ruling on Bryan's deleted comment? If it doesn't count, then we're only on 4D instead of 8D.
When the hell is it my turn?
@ QuadSevens,
No switching, I just don't know how to type!
Did you know that the "D" and "F" are right next to each other?
Crazy!
hehe, i'm waiting for your turn so I can go and get some work done, dammit
And clearly Quad saw it too.
@Matt...typos are a pain in the ass. Agreed.
Don't! Wake! Daddy!
I believe you guys... I just don't want to somehow get hosed because it turns out it was our turn and we didn't realize it.
Who's on first?
No, Hu's at short.
It's about time Hu got a game in.
Err... checking back in and I'm confused. We are counting Bryan's deleted comment, right?
If not, 4D passing again.
Who got a game in?
Steve, at the moment we're operating under the assumption that Bryan's comment counts, but no official ruling from the Sons yet.
I'm getting antsy.
Yes, Bryan's comment counted.
And there you have it.
Maybe we need to require the prefix Pair Number in comment or else I'm never gonna be able to track this.
One potatoe, two potatoe, three potatoe, four...
waiting on 8D, right?
Yes, waiting on 8D.
Ugh, now I'm having a hard time tracking. Let me go delete that other comment
I bit off more than I expected on this one, tracking-wise
D-Team can vulture Wicks/TD at 10:21, yes?
That looks right to me. Should that be a different prefix? "8D Vulture"?
Im here
9F for the kill!
Dr. G with the quick refresh finger.
Looks like Wicks was a minute late...
Wicks is 1 minute too late!
Team Flo gets a point.
Flo: 1
Deltalina: 0
how was I late? I thought I was just in time, i'm confused......
ok we are on to 10D
Checkpoint posted at 10:09, your comment posted at 10:10.
Wicks - the checkpoint post was made at 10:09am. The timestamp on your post had to be 10:08am or earlier.
Now waiting on 10D.
Please prefix your comment with your Pair Number.
Just let me know if my turn is close or not. I don't have time to figure out the rules.
Oh, I wasn't sure in all the mayhem. That's fine, I'm going to blame TD.....hahahaha
Greg was hanging around here earlier. Where'd he skulk off to?
can i post now?
or should i have said 9F?
Dr. Geek covered for you John G.
John G, the Geek has you covered.
@Quad
Creepy!
Great minds think alike.
On the lookout for vultures
It's very quiet out here.
EK...Don't Matty A and/or Mr C have to wait for a Deltalina to comment in place of 10D before they comment?
Can we just go back to killing people?
yeah - why would they want the hot potato? unless they had some sour cream and chives.
They should just be ready for any D to pass it off for Greg & djansson
is it my turn yet? internet is still down at work :(
DB, that's your solution for everything!
I got you covered fanerman
Who's up? I can't keep track.
Still waiting on (Jessica) 10D.
Quad, you're right. I forgot my own rules. I will delete my misleading comment.
At 11:11 anyone else on Deltalina can comment to move the potato to Pair 11F
Sorry for confusion, thanks Quad.
EK, quick question. Does a vulture pass have to come in 1 hour or 1 hour and 1 minute after the last post? In other words, can team Deltalina vulture 10D at 11:11 or does it have to be 11:12?
No problem EK.
Jason - 1 hour, or 11:11am vultures can come.
EK, I hope you don't have anything you were planning to get done at work today.
actually today is a fairly busy day at work. Lots of multi-tasking...
FB-
No, sometimes are are booze solutions and sometimes there are killing solutions. Other times, both.
[Note to FBI: I'm KIDDING]
thanks jason
EK,
Tell me about it. In the last ten minutes I've fixed our file server, ordered several thousands of dollars worth of documents, and hit f5 roughly six million times.
DB, it's good to have options :)
Looks like there will be plenty of vultures!
10D Vultured
xD passing to 11F via vulture proxy
10D - if my partner hasn't come in yet.
General aside: Well, that sucked ass, got pulled into a meeting and of course the time went by.
Where did Mr. C go now?
11F: In play, no out recorded.
12D in
And boom goes the dynamite.
And noted that my computer clock is 1 minute faster than the Son's
13F
14D!
1F
2D with the underhand flip to 3F
You da man J Steve.
I'm here for you, DB.
I can't believe it went from 10D all the way back to 2D in 4 minutes!
Paging QuadSevens.
3F passing the buck.
I could have been even quicker but the site hung up right about then. Must have been EK hitting F5 a zillion times.
4D ... move it along
3F passing it on
Didn't see my first post for some reason, so I posted a second time.
Clearly I'm overcompensating for my absence yesterday.
I was gone for five minutes and the whole place went crazy
Neeebs, do you have an avatar recommendation for me during this gameplay?
Thanks Josh S. I was sleeping on the job.
vulture! 12D I believe
No worries drewdez. Aside from my lunch break from 12-12:30, I should be camped out here all day.
Now looking for Keven C. or w.d.d.i.m. I'll check the Cool-s-Coo stand.
Cool-A-Coo
Someone shake Keven C
@ Josh S.
Nice. I'll be sure to cover you during your break.
Damn, must have been at lucnh. This PST really messes with me on the east Coast.
8-D Sorry 'bout that.
Waiting on 5F: Keven C. or w.d.d.i.m.
@Dusty
Theme-appropriate.
Ha! I see Dusty making that face if he ever met the McCourts face-to-face.
I'm waiting on deck for when my turn comes up
I'm eating lunch at my desk today to make sure I don't whiff at some more pitches.
Paging Checkpoint Charlie... Team Deltalina needs a checkpoint
12:18 seems a long way away.
With a point in the bank, all we really need is the final checkpoint, but I'd love to lock it up before then.
haha that's awesome DB (and Mr C)
Just checking in . . .
Alright, Flo Vultures. Stand at the ready for 12:18. Your captain is going to get lunch.
Alright, so where are we on this thing here?
Josh,
I'm on IT duty, so I'll be here for at least 1h.
5F - did I cost us?
Matt... you still standing on deck?
6D passing it on
7F checks in
That was the most exciting 3 seconds of my entire day...
I'm putting off algebra assignments for this.
How weird would it be if 8D got hit twice.
That would be beautiful.
It's now up to TD and Wicks. TD, you still around?
Wicks. TD. You guys are on.
Matt I feel your excitement. I'm deliberately not grading papers to monitor this.
I'm doing my best to grade and keep up.
I'm doing my best to "work" and keep up.
It's just as well that I am here.
I cannot figure out the equation for the exponential function graphed below.
My turn's coming up again.. surely the next checkpoint won't be so close to the previous one. I'm guessing it'll be around 1, just in time to catch the return from lunch rush.
Checkpoint 2 is confirmed.
I need to post the sequence up on my wall.
ooh, I forgot I scheduled a checkpoint just now. Who got caught with their pants down? 8D?
Ya, looks like Team F scored a point.
I think Flo just scored again, no (Wicks and TD caught on deck)? Please correct me if I'm wrong, folks...
8D goes down again. Either of the next two checkpoints puts this one away, fellow Flobies.
Thank the gods that this game only goes until 5p today.
Flo 2, Deltalina 0.
@Mr Customer, man, this game's costed me a day's of productivity already! Heh.
Again? I checked not too long ago and it was several spots away.....doh!
F9, beaches!
D10, D10
F11 in the pipe.
D12 in again
Thank God it's Dittmore!
I feel like a putz. I thought this was for Thursday. Duh.
glad geek is here to cover my dayquill infused butt.
Well, I won't be here after 3:30pm PST. So you can return the favor.
Where's Neeebs at?
@rbnlaw - No worries. I need to check out around 4 CT (2 PT), so you'll need to pitch the last few innings.
Back from lunch. It was corned beef and it was delicious.
Not as delicious as that 2nd point, though!
Crap. I'm out after 2:40 PDT.
Hope we can survive.
I like yesterday's game much better.
If we take the third checkpoint, we take the game. Let's do this.
ya, i'm with rbnlaw, yesterday's game was better. this one is just too much of a time sink
What! 8D is a loooser!
Sorry chaps, I thught this was tomorrow :(
Team Flo is pretty happy with today's game...
Oh wait, I am 6D not 8D. I fully retract the loooser comment! I am guessing Matt saved my bacon?
Now you got Josh S all cocksure, strutting around like he owns the place. And he had corned beef.
Carrion time is 1:22 if MLASF or Neeebs don't show. I'm off the grid for 30 minutes or so.
Unlike on an airplane, we are allowed more than one carrion.

Thanks for covering Mr. C - I can take it from here for 11F.
Neeebs and Mr. LAAASF.
13F is up (Neeebs or MLASF)
No worries, Scott. I have us covered. It's either this or research when "No Deposit No Return" started showing up on glass bottles...It was in the 1930s btw.
13F just toying with you guys
geek - i can do that
Just tryin' to rile Dusty.
14D!
1F - HADOKEN!
There was no suspense that Josh S was there waiting!
2Deeee
3F checking in!
4D - rbnlaw, I'm out. If it makes it back around before you leave, your on it. Sorry folks...
Fuck a F5! I kept wondering where the new comments went. Thankfully Josh S' annoying yet informational comment re: 200 reminded me that there was a new page. I would have known that during the season, but in the offseason, Dusty gets rusty.
