*Gets hit in the head by the <span style='color:green'>Green</span> Thingy while its on the fishing line, then takes it*
"Irregardless" and "Over exaggerated" are NEVER CORRECT EVER because they are redundant
Regardless means "without regard", and adding "ir" on the front actually makes it a double negative; exaggerate means "to overstate" so you're literally saying "over overstate."
Example: I can not exaggerate the importance of this fact enough, regardless of how often people ignore it.

...It has come down to this...Round 15 is...over. These are the thingy worths...
Red=-1

<span style='font-size:30pt;line-height:100%'><span style='color:gray'>SILVER!!!!!!!!!</span></span>
Yes, Silver, you are officially the winter 2004 thingy champion! Congragulations! You will recieve your trophy soon. Here are the final scores...
Twig: -6
J: -1
Silver: 1
Neo: -4
Wow! It's over! Silver congragulations!
And now, for the moment of truth, my secrets. :D
I will first tell you how I decided when to post again. In the first set, I told myself I would update every 3 days. If I was a day late, the next round would be two days long, and if it were 5, the next two rounds would be 2 days, and so on.
Once I narrowed it down to the final 4, It was going to be the same system, except every 4 days.
Now, I'll be honest, I stole the idea of this game from the Define Cynical forums, but the rest was orignally my own idea. 4 thingies, thingy worths, and actually giving this game an end, instead of it going on forever. Why didn't I just let it go on forever? It would have got mighty boring. Also, why let one go on...when there will be another...
Yes. Coming soon, is "The thingy 2: Quest for the elusive Pocky".
Silver, give me a day to make your trophy. :D Congragulations.
