Well, plainglazed got 2, Dudley got about a dozen, I got one, and plainglazed for ALL OF THEM! Haha. I'll let him post the answers, then I'll post the filled in crossword puzzle and the puzzle answer.

This circular logic is round As you say, "man, this riddle ain't sound." Respecting your thoughts I rebound, Deflecting the critics abound. May I take all your slings and your darts, For the beauty of riddling's an art. Judge not with your mind but your heart Or this bulletin all falls apart. But 'fore you give words too much credit, Quit thinking the meaning's inherent. Complain, go ahead, you have merit Suggesting I seek one to edit. Gone be the verses and quatrains. Purged are the rhyming campaigns. Hack even the words this contains. Kick 'em out, and so little remains. Now likely you doubt my pretense: Initially this riddle made sense. Launch into logicking: whence Eponymous game I dispense?

So we're saying Seinfeld and Simpsons are the worst on this list? Wha? Seinfeld -- Simpsons -- Friends ++ The Big Bang Theory - 13 Everybody Loves Raymond - 13 Seinfeld - 13 The Simpsons - 11 The Brady Bunch - 11 Happy Days - 11 Family Ties - 11 The Cosby Show - 11 Full House - 11 Cheers - 9 Friends - 7 Family Matters - 5 I Love Lucy - 5 M*A*S*H - 1

Friends was overrated. Seinfeld -- Friends ++ Full House ++ The Big Bang Theory - 13 Everybody Loves Raymond - 13 The Brady Bunch - 13 Seinfeld - 11 Cheers - 11 Happy Days - 11 Family Ties - 11 The Cosby Show - 11 The Simpsons - 11 Full House - 11 M*A*S*H - 7 Family Matters - 7 I Love Lucy - 5 Friends - 5

Hey and I actually got one!

Here's what we have so far....

Nice list! Least favorite... so we want our least favorite to "win" by being at the top of the list? If I'm wrong, reverse my votes. Seinfeld -- Full House ++ Big Bang Theory ++ Full House - 13 The Big Bang Theory - 13 Friends - 11 I Love Lucy - 11 M*A*S*H - 11 Cheers - 11 Happy Days - 11 Family Matters - 11 The Simpsons - 11 Everybody Loves Raymond - 11 The Brady Bunch - 11 Family Ties - 11 The Cosby Show - 11 Seinfeld - 9

Awesome work! I actually went ahead and solved the entire mega-puzzle without touching this specific puzzle. If anyone wants to tackle the other puzzles and want hints, I can offer them. (Except for this puzzle (which is the Optimus Prime puzzle) and Spock.)

Okay crew, I need help solving a boatload of cryptic clues. I think they fit what you call "Shakeepuddn" around here. They are part of a puzzle hunt called "Spaceportland" (which you can download here). I've solved most other puzzles, but the one with the cryptics I can't even get started on. So.... help!

If plainglazed hasn't posted the new list in 24 hours, feel free to play yours.

plainglazed gets to pick this round's list. I say: 12-18 items with 11 points to start.

I put this down to Cam Newton mania? Speaking of QBs winning FF championships, I love Cam Newton.

So this round will probably end in the next day or two. So one round was about two weeks. Is that too long? Should we edit the rules to start with 11 points instead of 15?

Bears -- Cowboys + Panthers -- San Francisco 49ers - 6 Dallas Cowboys - 6 Carolina Panthers - 5 Atlanta Falcons - 5 Chicago Bears - 4 Knocked Out 6. Seattle Seahawks 7. Washington Redskins 8. Detroit Lions 9. New Orlean Saints 10. St. Louis Rams 11. Arizona Cardinals 12. New York Giants 13. Green Bay Packers 14. Philadelphia Eagles 15. Minnesota Vikings 16. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

I'm sure there is something wrong with this logic, but...

Based on? Edit to add: Why would MikeD vote for a fellow baddie to lynch, and be a decisive vote? He could easily have voted for anyone else without raising suspicion.

Well, if Minecraft wasn't trapped, s/he would have vote manip-ed to tie me and mew. S/he didn't, so s/he must have been trapped, so s/he must be you!

Once half of the entries are knocked out, you can no longer vote ++. Adjusting list... Er, jinx.
