Points? What are you talkin' about? That's what I said. (Gotcha, DC. )

Zia, if I were bribing all of them, I'd have to introduce my friend, George Washington, instead.

A friend suggested the idea of us all putting money in, which the winner would get to keep, so I went with it. I've gotten "commitment" from most all of the players, but next week is "collection week" - if I end up having to muscle these characters, it ain't gonna be pretty. I tested out my "intimidation face" ( ) on some people today, while flashing my Godfather keychain at them - I think they know I mean business. I'm not going to be a part of the pool, because I've played the game longer than anyone else, but I'm hoping this idea will keep all of them interested.
