After watching attendance and interest in the daily trivia onslaught dwindle, and seeing that there's no way the standings are going to change between now and the end of the month, I've decided to call this game, declare actorz_inc the winner for April, and retire the contest. actorz_inc gets to pick a signed book from mine/mine and Kevin's pile of crap, also known as our backlist. Congrats!

As for everyone else: thanks for indulging me as long as you did. I may try some other form of contest or whatnot down the road, just for kicks. Stay tuned!

The winner for March: farmishtphoenix! Congrats! He gets his pick of a signed book from mine/mine and Kevin's pile of crap....uh, I mean our backlist.

Thanks to everyone who's been playing...even if you tried a few times, didn't score any points, then either sat back and watched the "excitement" or else found something more interesting to do, like catalogue your trimmed toenails.

The group of participants is small but loyal. Should we keep going? New month = new game. Everybody's score resets to zero, so if you were watching and not playing because you didn't think you could win, the playing field's level for at least the next day or two!
