    Thanks CoT, I will have some time by friday to put it all together for the next thread.

    This means we're going to part 9! 4000+ posts, not bad for a bit of retrogaming
    Skeptics should forego any thought of convincing the unconvinced that we hold the torch of truth illuminating the darkness. A more modest, realistic, and achievable goal is to encourage the idea that one may be mistaken. Doubt is humbling and constructive; it leads to rational thought in weighing alternatives and fully reexamining options, and it opens unlimited vistas.

      Indeed. And whilst it isn't the most prolific postwise I think NTG (now considered a forum game) predates even Mafia.

          Obviously the overall score is most important. `

              Now that you mention it, checking the start of the thread my end score comes to 25, not 24.

                Damn, don't let Cap add them up if he is going to randomly add some to his score.

                  Hmmm, the endscores and the old count don't always add up. Someone should probably recheck the old threads for mixups.

                    Might as well check this in one go. Could someone lend a hand and do a roundup I did for part 8 but for previous threads (pt. 1-7)?

                    If you post the results in this thread I'll update the main one in part 9 afterwards.

                      In terms of list/score mismatch I think the scores are more accurate.
