  • Deltalina wins the the 4th magic minute and thus Round I-C and thus moves on to Round 2! More coming...

f conflicting edits

rbnlaw said...

Gaddamn conflicting edits screwed me again.

Josh S. said...

Ugh. I got conflicted and 404ed to hell there.

Nostradamus said...

I'm not going to even try to count that.

We've killed Blogger

Nostradamus said...

@FB has lost control!

Fred's Brim said...

D are I do one more?

Steve K said...

I'm laughing hysterically! Thanks, FB!!!! :)

Steve K said...

FB, it only lasts for the one "magic" minute. There are five minutes total, not five each time...

Fred's Brim said...

no bots, i swear. just making up for missing the first 2 rounds

Nostradamus said...

Wow, now I only see my own posts. She can't take much more Cap'n!

Jason said...

That was awesome FB.

Quick count shows this round 86 - 82 Deltalina though my eyes started to blur after the page break.

Keven C said...

F yeah, I have 11:05 stamps on some of those on this page! Make sure those get counted, Katherine Harris.

Steve K said...

I just wish they all actually counted. Go Deltalina!

Matt said...

I think FB gets a D for effort

Josh S. said...

I'm calling FB's work and getting him pulled into another meeting.

Fred's Brim said...

oh gawd - sorry everybody. i totally misread "5 magic minutes" - i thought that meant 5 minutes per session, not 5 minute-long sessions
:(
EK if you want to wipe my last 4 minutes of outbursts, please do

Kyle Baker said...

I'm not the only one who misunderestimated the strategery of this round's gameplay.

Orel said...

BEST THREAD EVER

Josh S. said...

It's nigh-impossible to go back and check this, but Team Flo feels a little underrepresented today. Strong effort by those that are here, though.

Kyle Baker said...

Did we just trade for Manny?

Fred's Brim said...

again i am very, very sorry and a little embarrassed. I thought i could read wurdz and understand them, but apparently I cant

like Dusty said the other day, can we just go back to killing people?

Steve Sax said...

This game is frickin' ridiculous!

I love it

Kyle Baker said...

FB, don't sweat it. RB and I did the same thing earlier. The wording was somewhat ambiguous if read one way. I think I have way too much residual LSD in me to read it literally.

Steve Sax said...

Fred's Brim is en fuego

Kyle Baker said...

Sax, where have you been hiding? I've heard more from Tiger Woods than you lately.

Steve K said...

FB: Just to let you know, I wasn't laughing at you, just the string of comments! The same thing happened at 8:55, except it was a bunch of people going for five minutes. It was just funny seeing all of those consecutively.

Nostradamus said...

Do we have any idea who took that round?

Orel said...

I picture FB as they guy who keeps shooting after everybody else is dead.

Fred's Brim said...

i am sure my avatar doesnt help anything :)

Matt said...

Have you noticed that we have to comment more frequently in each game?

I'm wondering if the Sons get more advertising revenue from the site based on the number of comments posted.

If that's the case, I think FB may have just put one of their kids through college!

Josh S. said...

Team D came to play. I think we only took round 1 because we caught them napping.

Kyle Baker said...

Captain Kangaroo looks more flamboyant than I remember him. Maybe it's just the pose. Or the blazer. Or the mustache.

Josh S. said...

Fun fact: My dad kinda looks like Captain Kangaroo.

Matt said...

FB, I wasn't laughing at you either, it's just funny to see that avatar repeated.

Also, check out the top no. comments of the last 500. FB has a slight lead....

Josh S. said...

Are we going to have to wait a month for the Supreme Court to settle Flo. v. Deltalina?

Nostradamus said...

Matt,

That's effing hilarious.

Kyle Baker said...

Florida! Florida! Florida!

QuadSevens said...

New over/under: 2000! Make it happen!

Steve K said...

2000 is going to be tough to beat. I'm going to take the under... unless FB sticks around. And his avatar is fantastic!

Orel said...

New FvD tribute on main page.

Eric Karros said...

Results of round 3 posted

Josh S. said...

Damn! Lost a squeaker. And now our total is going down.

*pulls open the Matrix of Leadership*

Now...light our darkest hour!

Nostradamus said...

Wow, this is a must-win, and I'm about to get pulled into a seminar for round 4. Hold the line, team Flo!

Steve Dittmore said...

Okay Team D... With FB's prowess I feel as though I can leave without much guilt. This time zone difference does not work for me (got a cushy faculty job... my Friday afternoons are for golf when it is warmer.

Carry on... I'll see you next week.

Orel said...

The margin of victory is decreasing with each round. Will we see a walkoff post today?

Kyle Baker said...

Stevie D-That's what I'm talkin about! Good on you.

Jimbo said...

Damn. I feel I lost us the last round, seeing how I had to step out of the office to eat.

Josh S. said...

Can I get a quick Team Flo roll call before the next round starts?

Jimbo said...

I'll be here in 20 minutes.

Josh S. said...

I have a bad feeling about this...

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

It's put up or shut up time.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Now?

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Or now?

Bryan said...

i'm here for this one

Bryan said...

D - time check

rbnlaw said...

F ammit! I wasn't paying attention!

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Looks like we got posterized.

Bryan said...

D - shoot, firefox crapped out on me. i feel like andruw jones

Josh S. said...

F UCK BLOGGER IN THE ARMPIT!

rbnlaw said...

Freaking short minutes with these confounding conflicting edits!!

Nice alliteration, if I do say so.

Fred's Brim said...

Anybody else get a lot of 404 errors?

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

I think this thing needed some polishing.

Josh S. said...

I got a winning combo of conflicting edits, 404s, and an occasionally non-functioning publish button.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

We got F'd in the A right there.

Enjoy your victory, team Deltacollagena

Josh S. said...

I don't think we pulled that one out.

Nice work, Team D. You had the numbers on your side today.

Steve K said...

I got the same errors...

Jason said...

I even found a new error, the shrouded-in-secrecy bX-t14bci.

Looks like team Flo got D-estroyed!

Orel said...

Josh Suchon is making his way to the field to interview Team Deltalina.

Orel said...

Will Team Flo stick around until 2:55 to make it close?

Nostradamus said...

I'm back! Did we lose???

Nostradamus said...

Shee-iit

Josh S. said...

@Orel: "Will Team Flo stick around until 2:55 to make it close?"

Hell yeah! Plus, FB said he can't make that round, so I gotta take what I can get. Still shooting for a Wild Card berth.

Nostradamus said...

Much respect to team D. I am in awe of your spamming prowess.

TD said...

D HELLO

Josh S. said...

So, sub-round 1-B was Team Flo's Lima Time, I guess.

Eric Karros said...

Congrats Team Deltalina! You are moving on...

TD said...

D Where we at??

Nostradamus said...

You can't argue with results. Good performances top to bottom in the lineup, youse guys.

Nostradamus said...

D oomed to relegation, I guess.

Fred's Brim said...

D amn - i was hoping to get some things done next week!

MR.F said...

good job deltalinans!!

round 2 is insane. 182 combined posts in 1 minute. over 3 posts per second! that has to be some kind of record.

Josh S. said...

Huh. I thought it was a matter of how many people showed up, but it really wasn't. Going back through the thread, it looks like 11 members of Deltalina played at least one round to Flo's 10, and both teams had about the same amount of those players miss rounds.

Well done again, Team Botoxedintooblivion!

Unknown said...

I apologize for not posting during the round we barely lost. I couldn't surreptitiously post like crazy while teaching a class.

Josh S. said...

No apologies necessary! Especially for doing your real job.

Round 2 was the one we should have taken. I think we had D outnumbered, but they still outposted us.

Nostradamus said...

It'll be interesting to see which criteria EK chooses to pick which of us looooooosssssseers moves on.

*jumps up and down waving hands in the air*

rbnlaw said...

We've made it to the knock-out round!!

So can we start talking up the WC draw now? Love that Group of Death with Brazil, Portugal, and Ivory Coast. North Korea will need a nuclear missle to get out of that one.

Nostradamus said...

@rbnlaw

I'm pulling for Cote d'Ivoire, big time. An elimination round without either Brazil or (more likely) Portugal wouldn't be a terrible thing, in my book.

Nostradamus said...

I think the most balanced group is probably Argentina-Greece-Nigeria-S Korea. I have no idea who is coming out of that one.

rbnlaw said...

Mr. C:
Look out for the Reds of SK. Nigeria is always physical and dangerous. You're right, no walk overs there.

The USA and Engerland should come out of group C.

Team Flo-

Please don't take your beating today personal. Remember you are going to be able to go back to the arms of a girl much uglier than Deltalina!

Josh S. said...

Arguably so, Wicks, but at least we get a DISCOUNT!

Matt said...

I got a late jump on that one

Nostradamus said...

That looked pretty solid, but blogger's dying again.

Josh S. said...

Had to do that one from a different desk and someone came to borrow something in the middle of the minute. I contemplated ignoring them.

Jason said...

64-47 Flo. Well played losers.

Nostradamus said...

Damn, Jason with the knife twist.

Jason said...

@Josh S

Where are your priorities? They aren't borrowing, they are *stealing* your time.

That said, my boss dropped by as I was counting the totals. I may be "borrowing" from friends and relatives soon due to "stealing" company time. Thanks Sons!

Josh S. said...

I don't know, I thought I pulled a pretty swift move with "Click submit with the right hand, hit F with the left hand while handing over the scissors with the right hand, then clicking submit again".
