    Do past posts count?

    Oh, well, if that's the case, I was screwed from the beginning.


    If they don't count, I believe that you'll find that post was made before I actually tossed my hat in the ring.


    Thanks for the warning, though. ;)



    I do, however, require a ruling.

    Crispee?

    I am not qualified to give an official ruling, but from crispee's past posts I can tell you that this does not kill you since you had not entered the game yet :).

    However, you're dead because you edited your post above :D.

    Det, I believe that one can edit their post as long as they do it before the <i>last edited</i> signature shows up.

    But I might be wrong.

    Crispee?

    If you edit it within the first three minutes, the "last edited" will not show up. It is still fine within the first three minutes - Gascon did it after five minutes - too late :p.

    Unless crispee gives him a pardon, but he said he was not going to do that anymore for edited posts...

    Gascon is supposed to be out for editing his post after the 3 minute pardon period. It is in the rules.

    I can't give you a pardon, because I promised no more pardons. But you might ask Det for one since he got the only pardon on this mistake. After all, you have to be killed to be killed. If a mistakes happens and no one takes a shot, it didn't happen.

    Det and mc mark, did you guys see any mistakes in his post? I think you both should pardon him.

    Pardon from me :). I should be the last person to decline that since I could have been killed by that already :).

    Your spelling may be good, but your syntax sucks! ;)

    Oh damn. I didn't realize the fanstasy forum was being sniped. You probably could've found quite a few kills in there weeks ago on me. I must've just missed when I was killed on the Stover Darby line, since that was posted just a day and a half ago :(.

    <i>Plus, mduke was not in the game until 11:40 pm 1/1/02. He just turned Senior Member. mduke, let me give you another friendly all-star" has a hyphen. You misspelled it twice 3 minutes before entering the game."</i>

    Never mind!

    Or am I dead for a false accusation?

    I thought it had to be from when I entered the game??? That post was before I entered... If I'm wrong, just let me know crispee, but I was under the impression that it had to be after I entered the game...

    That's why I said never mind.

    But you better watch your back! ;)

    Thank you very much for the pardon. ;)

    I wasn't aware of the "three minute" edit rule. If it makes anyone feel any better, I was actually changing a bit of phrasing that I thought sounded odd. I check for incorrect spelling before I submit the post.

    Still, I'm probably toast before the week is out. I'm starting to get paranoid. I'll refrain from using a word if there is any shadow of a doubt about the spelling.

    That's when you know you're taking it all a little too seriously. :D
