It's come down to Marla vs Spank in an old-fashioned gunfight at high noon. To revisit the tiebreaker rules:
- Instead of the usual 3pm cutoff time, the game will be at noon (a comment at 12:00pm is ok, at 12:01 is too late)
- No initiator - either player can kill the other, so whoever comments 2nd, so long as it's at 12:00 noon or sooner, wins.
- The only way it ends in a tie is if neither player comments by noon, in which case we reset for Tuesday.
Good luck to each.

I'm that lone old codger left in the saloon who is hunched over his whisky, back to the saloon doors, seemingly ignorant of the carnage about to ensue.
I'm a tumbleweed.
^ Wait, wrong thread. My most recent comment was meant for the Game Thread.
*takes shelter in the whorehouse*
*continues to play poker and drink whiskey*
(smokes opium and aims gun at the sun)
(makes fun of Clint Eastwood's "Nee-kay" shoes)
I don't think any of the above comments are too far out-of-character to be plausible.
(asks Clint Eastwood for hat advice)
Side game for the dead while we wait for high noon:
First one to gun down Dusty (i.e., comment immediately after his next comment) wins.
@MC: I guess I COULD be a tumbleweed.
(cups hands together and makes a wind/whistle sounds)
The Good: Karina
The Bad: Spanky
The Ugly: EK
(prepares to die)
Boom?
I never thought it would be you, Josh!
(haunts Josh)
I only had no qualms about killing you because you were already dead.
(fashions a bulletproof vest from an iron furnace door)
(dies)
(raises bet against Quad at poker, shoots more whiskey)
Nice shot Josh.
Still 30 minutes 'til showtime. Shoulda booked an opening band or something.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
OH SNAP!
Marla!
YES!!! Cash my ticket!
Suicide, eh?
Spank tried to get cute.
That wasn't suicide. Spank did show up, albeit mis-timed.
Now i can go take a dump.
So it DID end up being he who shoots first wins!
I'm happy.
I think you just did, Spank. On my dreams for your winning the AC.
Spank was held up delivering that telegram for Mr. Mongo.
It was a candygram.
Good game, gentlemen. Back to lurking...
Landshark!
See you next year, Keven C!
Spank's synchronization apparati was off.
Well done MLASC.
I demand Smonk for a prize.
On behalf of Mr. F:
(cries)
Let's get back to this one (gestures with head toward the baseball field).
I blame Loney for my loss.
Just realized this is my second SoSG Finals appearance in a row. Should be worth a 40oz. of Steel Reserve at least.
We should organize these into a season. Each major event is like a Grand Slam event (AC, March Madness, etc.) We can get someone like AIG to sponsor.
SMOOOOOOOOONK
"I think he said the sheriff is nearer."
Tough luck, Spank. I did call the inevitable Marla victory. Well played.
Smonk is mine!
(cries)
I'm gonna milk this for everything it's got.
FUCK YEAH.
I guess these would be the 4 Majors in the SoSG year:
AC
March Madness
Puzzle Champion
Be My Broheim
I don't see anyone achieving the Grand Slam sweep given that ubragg has a locks up the Puzzles and doesn't participate in the other events.
Mr C might be the best hope for a GS sweep, but still pretty distant odds.
Make Puzzle Series its own separate thing. Add the cars game.
EK, we need a game a month.
Connect 4?
Add Connect 4, lose Broheim.
Broheim would be like the TPC in golf: important, but not a major.
Sax, to me that'd be like having the World Cup every 6 months.
But Connect 4 is a collective competition w/o an individual champ...
And BTW, you read that right - I just compared Assassins' Circle to the World Cup.
Connect 4 is more of a Ryder Cup sort of deal.
Ah, well put Mr C.
Oh, and don't think I'm gonna forget that PCS slight. I've beaten ubragg in a half-season, I'll get him sooner or later...As long as I don't get boned with recurring meeting scheduling like I had this year.
Here's hoping you don't get boned, then, Mr. C.
SoSG Grand Slam
1. March Madness (March)
2. Racing game (May)
3. AC (August)
4. ? (October during playoffs)
What are these strange "playoffs" of which you speak, Spank?
Hey, the Masters is snooty and exclusive, too, but they still include it. PCS has got to be in.
October is Connect-4.
What about the My Broheim alternate that never was?
Jason,
"The Gauntlet" has been re-named "3 O'Clock Chicken" - it's in the latter stages of development but hasn't yet been greenlit...
(fleeces some Greeks to obtain funding to finish CHICKEN project development)
I fear the Greeks, even when they bear venture capital.
*slays Patroclus*
You guys are too funny. Or maybe that is the opium talking.
(after hours of deliberation, I finally call Jason's raise)
(turns over a pair of 8s, curses crappy bluff, drinks more whiskey)
Don't worry Jason, you're not playing poker, you're playing Crazy 8's!!
(stacks red, white, and blue colored chips)
What!?! Crazy 8's?!?
(aims his gun at the dealer)
Well, I am headed to Vegas this weekend.
(makes note to hit Crazy 8s table)
(steals Paul's opium)
