Well, we _do_ have the same birthday.  Nevertheless, Vynd too often
votes sensically for him to be my evil twin.  If I am the evil twin, then
Vynd must be my good twin.

Just knew he would get Vynd's attention

I go to the library.  I go to *that* room.

Let's get a new COTC.  Was else...if anything else, while we're at it?

Well I didn't want to say this... but you are actually the good one. Mom
told me so.

I go to the library.  I enter the Vault of the Book.

I go home.

You have just over 24 hours to complete your task to stay in this round.
The last player standing, as it were, in the game of Simon Says will find
my Treasure!

Congratulations to the following players who have already gauranteed 
their advance to the next round:

/dev/joe
Red Mao Gang (if that's what we call JT nowadays)
rufus

The rules should be more clear now!

Just for good measure, I zap /dev/joe, Red Mao Gang and rufus.

I see.  And that earlier bit about me being the evil one was -- what?
An attempt to ruin my reputation?  So you can step in and make nice with
all my friends and take away everything I hold dear and utterly ruin me
so that I go out and throw myself in front of an express train?  Well it
won't work!  :p

The way I worded my offer, I believe this trade happened back when.  If
not, I accept it now, assuming that I still can (which I doubt) and/or 
that what's-eir-face still wants to (which I also doubt).

I declare that The Mu-Cow Hunter is my Evil Twin.
