The initial post still has the old teams. As per the new team list on the other thread, Reef Dreamer (Bill) and JEStaats (John) are in agreement.

At least I hope we are!

That's fine. Disregard the old list on this post. The list on Week 1 is accurate.

Spqr and I are in agreement. Minimal blood shed. Moderate insults thrown. Only 3 family members threatened.

So, good start.

I'm very uptight and controlling, and Nomad is super-chill, so we've got a nice Felix and Oscar thing going on....

You should choose for both of you each week. Nomad sounds like he’ll enjoy it.

After hours of arguing and threats of braising family pets, AJR and I are finally in agreement.

May the odds be ever in my... I mean... your favor. Auto correct...

Spqr sent me a message with: my address, a picture of my pet rabbit and a picture of a knife.

Such a nice guy. Wants to come over and feed my pet rabbit. Should I tell him he forgot the picture of the carrot, or would that be rude?

I didn't tell PKCardinal I wanted to feed his rabbit. I told him I wanted to pet it. With a knife.

Was the rabbit a sausage or a sausage wallet?

To ensure one side isn't screwing the other, it might be smart for both to post here, but only one is needed for an acknowledgement.

Admittedly, no one has to post here at all. The only reason to is making certain that your team didn't pick the same variables. Once you're sure, you can just go ahead, but personally, I'd rather be safe than sorry.

Okay, just to be sure to be sure... the sun is out and Warren and I are in so much agreement (so far, anyway) that we're firing up the barbie and the sangers are going on (that's sausages to you non-Antipodeans) - as we speak. Actually that's a lie - freezing our butts off here in the rain. Just wanted to get the obligatory snag (also means sausage) reference in.

Loving this thread btw. You all cracked me up first thing in the a.m.  ;D

P.S. Sad to hear Ben has dropped out.

Jeff and I have worked things out nicely lol.  I’m gonna start writing tomoz - Sunday.

Lib, it was 23 here yesty!  Gorgeous winter weather.  Sunny again today but meant to be only 6 tonight. I’ll be at work from 5pm till midnight, working out the first script in my head

Good luck and snags to all!!

Yeah, yeah, skiting about your Qld weather again. It was gorgeous here yesterday too.  :P
But guess what! Sun just came out here so those snags may well be back on the menu.

Good luck to you two legends!

3 very different time zones proved impossible for communication and gave us a late start for round 1, so going with Anthony's great idea, we just doled everything out evenly (I used my trusy Giants hat for picking) and will be independent from here on in. So Anthony, Ben and myself are finally in... If ben still decides to bail we'll let u know what his were, Sean.

Good luck all.

I decided just to let my partner have whatever items he wanted and chose my three at random in the hopes I can then build a story around them.

It's proving more difficult than I thought but I have an idea at least.

I don't know, there were some variables that we haven't done yet that kind of welds together. I debated if I should do that, but I chose something different.

Anyway, I'm in agreement.
