I'll get this going pretty soon. Here's the sign up post.

Quote:
To celebrate my new schedule at work (wherein I don't work Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday) I am running a weekly emu series (like Booker Wolfbox used to do on Fridays).

Each week will be built around a letter of the alphabet (at least until I can't handle it anymore).

Some of you may be wondering "what is an emu?" Nothing could be simpler. It is exactly like a sheep. Except when it isn't. I will give you four questions and you PM me four responses. You score a point for every person who gives the same response as you. The winner is the player with the most points over the four questions.

One catch, though. If you give the most popular response for all four questions, your total score is reduced to zero (0), and you will be ridiculed by all and sundry. At least until the next week.

Entries for the first game will be due by Monday, November 2. I will reveal sometime the next day, probably midday Mountain Time. After that, this will run each week, with entries due by Monday for reveal on Tuesday.

PM me a list of responses for the following:

1. An African country that starts with A.
2. An animal that starts with A.
3. An actor or actress who first name starts with A.
4. An author whose last name starts with A.
