whoohoo ! i won my second 1st place in a row !
i've had some great luck so far here at tengaged ...
but mostly i've had wonderful partners who've helped me along they way .
i really just go into the games with the intent to reach the final day , and always keep in mind the friends who i have joined with , with thoughts of getting us ALL to that point .

this game was strange , i began together with Endo , a really cool dude (IMO) , but he sadly was evicted in 7th place . also , rwargle , was a great friend to have in this game , yet he got 5th , due to us being outnumbered near the end :( . still i could not have gotten to the finals without both of these great guys .
a big thanks also goes out to LaQuawnda for her good sportsmanship and moral support over the last few days :)

TScott (2nd place) is a hell of a player and a really nice guy . many thanks to him for everything . our 3rd was ParvatiShallow , who due to lack of activity was gone in 7th place .
and a big shout-out to the dragoncat !!
i just finished a book called 'teach yourself to be a madman " . the book is about a young russian solider who hates the service so much that he starts acting crazy , in hopes of getting kicked out (or IS he acting?). somehow, i find they can also relate to the game.
anyway , here are some of the cooler quotes within the book, comment and let me know which one/one's you like best :
