um, I noticed this when I first started playing the challenge, but didn't think much of it.
But then I noticed the Welcome message didn't change, so I thought someone might be interested in fixing it.
It is a small point, so i figure it would be easy to fix..?
Your message reads rather strangely:
Welcome! This to our weekly game! You have 2 days left to ponder these questions, and come back with answers
I think the third word in that message should be is, not to???
see what I mean?

And the "Who Am I" message on the challenge page is now over 2 weeks old and needs to be removed.

Speaking of Who Am I, since the tournament is running over into Monday, will a player who answers "Who Am I" correctly on Monday have those 30 points added to the ending tournament? If that is the case, the players who answer on Monday are going to be 22 points behind the folks answering Who Am I on Tuesday in the new tournament.

Good point Griffin. I assume you have the answer? Doing some quick addition if you answer today and everyone ahead of you waits you'll finish in fourth place ... if everyone waits, but then tomorrow you will have used your guess and everyone who waited will get 22 points. Same with me, if everyone else waits providing of course I can find the WAI - and we would have to do well on the daily quiz.
I think I'll wait. Good game, everyone!!
I would congratulate you now, Wassamatryou but #2 and #3 can still catch you if you don't play WAI and #4 has an outside chance if you do poorly on weekly quiz and choose not to play WAI. Aren't you glad I have nothing better to do this morning? Good luck in the next tournament everyone!

Yeah, because of the messiness of starting a new tournament in the middle of a game cycle, we'll start a new tournament next monday (really! ). This weekly game will be marked on Thursday, and a new game posted so you'll have something to play with over the next week and 2 days.
