poll will be up shortly

anamacha unfortunately missed the deadline, becoming the first of three contestants to be eliminated in "The Week The World Shifted"!

Well, ok, maybe not the world, but our little corner of it.

It's got people talking though, and figuring out what they want out of this, and how they do and do not want to play. More important than any of that though is that the fact that people are *talking to each other*. Whatever else you can say about the events of this week, it has shaken things up and started some conversations between people that hadn't had much to say to each other before!

*That* is a truly wonderful thing.
