Yeah, I was calling up the page going "hey, I wonder where I ended up. Surely it can't be too bad given I was sitting in third"... dropped 13 places on those few questions.

I am presuming I have won until I hear otherwise.

I guess you have heard otherwise

 

[Grimreepah]

I guess you have heard otherwise

I'm guessing I'm the Kahn that won and not the other Khan that appears on bigfooty....

Thanks Warwick for organising it... Thanks also Browndog and Lionbear for letting me beat you...

 

[BigCat2]

Thanks also Browndog and Lionbear for letting me beat you...

They tanked.
